Movie Review-Different Drummers

By James Hughes

Different Drummers is a deeply inspirational and transcendent family film – based on a true story – about the unusual spiritual journey and unlikely friendship of two boys growing up in Spokane, Washington in the mid 1960s. Eleven-year-old David, wheelchair-bound by muscular dystrophy, is growing progressively weaker, while his friend, Lyle (10), has a problem with an increasingly high energy level.David informs Lyle that their teacher is about to die and states that the source of this sad revelation is none other than God. When their teacher does die, a doubtful and confused Lyle feels he must find out for certain if God exists. Inspired by his TV idol, Jack LaLanne, and LaLanne’s message of “working a miracle through intestinal fortitude and willpower,” Lyle convinces David that he can teach him to run, secretly viewing this as a way to test the existence of God.A pact is made, and when Lyle begins to twist the rules in a desperate attempt to give his friend some of his own excess energy, they come face to face with life’s most transcendent and painful truths – and Lyle’s question is ultimately answered, in a way he never could have imagined.Christian cinema
