Film Not Easily Broken

I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God; but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

About

Not Easily Broken is an 2009 American drama film directed by Bill Duke. The film is written by Brian Bird based on T. D. Jakes's novel of the same name.

After years of disagreeing on what true happiness, success, and love really are, Dave (Morris Chestnut) and Clarice Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) have finally reached a breaking point in their marriage. When Clarice is severely injured (and crippled) in a car accident, the interference of her cackling mother Mary (Jenifer Lewis), the obvious truth that more than just her injuries need immediate attention is exposed. Their odds of making it worsen as Clarice begins to see a physical therapist, and Dave develops a friendship with Julie (Maeve Quinlan) and her friendly teenage son Bryson (Cannon Jay). The acceptance and comfort Dave finds in them stirs his longing for a family and a passionate partner. Sadly, Bryson unexpectedly dies in a swimming accident, Dave and Julie's relationship closens and Clarice pulls farther away; they must confront whether their vows are or are not easily broken. Later on, Dave visits Julie after she calls him, and he comforts her in her grief. They begin to kiss, but Dave realizes it is Clarice he truly wants. The couple reunites and Dave finds out that Clarice is pregnant.
