About Ragamuffin:
RAGAMUFFIN is based on the life of Rich Mullins, a musical prodigy who rose to Christian music fame and fortune only to walk away and live on a Navajo reservation. An artistic genius, raised on a tree farm in Indiana by a callous father, Rich wrestled all of his life with the brokenness and crippling insecurity born of his childhood. A lover of Jesus and a rebel in the church, Rich refused to let his struggles with his own darkness tear him away from a God he was determined to love. As he struggled with success in Nashville and depression in Wichita, Rich desired most of all to live a life of honest and reckless faith amidst a culture of religion and conformity.
My thoughts:
This movie kept me engrossed the whole time from the beginning of the movie starting with Rich's childhood all the way to the end when he has the terrible automobile accident. While I have always enjoyed his music I can honestly say that I will enjoy it even more now that I feel as if I understand him and his music a lot better. We always tend to put artistic geniuses on a pedestal thinking they are better than us but this movie shows how no one is perfect and how God uses our scars for good. I really enjoyed this movie as I can relate to many of the same struggles as Rich while trying to maintain my love for Christ.
