He plans on going to a private Christian university, but a series of unexpected events is about to shift his entire perspective on anything bearing the “Christ” prefix. He volunteers for the youth group at his Baptist church, and he helps his single mother out around the house. Because of this – though I have read the book – I’ll be writing this review solely on the basis of the film.ĭon Miller is a kind, straight-laced Christian teenager from Houston, Texas. The end result is a film with a fictional plot and characters, whose spirit is imaginatively inspired by Miller’s writings. In a necessary effort to create a narrative of Miller’s work, themes and scenes from the essay collection have been streamlined with creative liberty throughout the on-screen journey. Whether you’re a familiar fan or not, you should go in knowing this: “Blue Like Jazz” the movie is not “Blue Like Jazz” the book. How on earth the book could be adapted into a narrative feature is a question anybody who has read it will probably be asking. Donald Miller – the real Donald Miller – soared to fame when his collection of memoirs and essays entitled “Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality” was released in 2003.
