Missing the point
The father and grandfather are so involved in manipulating Isaiah that they have lost sight of the immense gift that they gave him: love, the chance to develop his talents, and a vision beyond the despair in his neighborhood. They need to affirm the tremendous contribution each made to this young life, and trust him to make the choices that are best for him. It was their love that kept him on the right track as he was growing up. He needs that love now when he faces hard choices.

From a father’s perspective if continued, this would be a great film. I could sit down with my family and know it would be suitable for my younger and older children to watch, as well as learn. The small child that played Isaiah was adorable and sort of reeled me in as well. It looks like a great cast and has the makings to be something special!! Please continue!!

I was left wanting to know more about what happened to the young man’s life. We need more positive movies like this one.

My suggestion for Isaiah
Despite the beauty of this story, I probably would have sided with the father. Isaiah should use his athletic talents to get him the best academic education he can. No one is saying he can’t still play his trumpet; on the contrary, he can do that the rest of his life. I just say he should not try to devote his life to only playing music. The life of a career musician is very hard, regardless of how talented he/she is.
My own father always told me “don’t do what you like, like what you do.” This was especially useful for me in choosing a major for college. I love history, yet you can’t do much with a history degree. Instead I chose legal studies and prepared myself for Law School graduate education.
Having a law degree and working in a legal office will allow me to be more stable & well-off economically than I would have a Masters in History working as a teacher. I would enjoy a career in law, and would also be able to read about ancient Rome or medieval Russia as much as I wanted to.
Isaiah could still pursue his desires while still looking out for his economic & educational future.
