The ‘Guardians of Galaxy’ star, Chris Pratt has gone on an intense fasting diet, that would last for 3 weeks. This diet, which is known as ‘Daniel Fast’ comprises of food which are vegan, have no sugar, and are not processed. So, though this is called a Fast, Chris gets to eat quite some foods as long as they are free of animal products and dairy.

There was once a time when Chris Pratt was raising lambs in his own field for slaughter. This had earlier caused a lot of uproar among the vegans. But now, he is one of them, at least for the time being.

You will not just find Chris Pratt vegan this time, but many other celebrities are also going vegan in this month of January, thereby making this month popular as Veganuary. Many celebrities try out detox or vegan diet during this month. And that is the reason why this month has become popular with this term.

With this Daniel Fast, Chris Pratt is going to great spiritual heights. This is a Bible based fast, that was named after the Biblical prophet Daniel. The purpose of this diet is to mainly bring people doing fast closer to their religious roots. He also shared on his social media handle, “It’s going to coincide also, coincidentally, with the ‘Lego Movie 2’ junket, so by the time you see me I’ll probably be hallucinating. Stay tuned.”

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
