Bart Millard opens up on how his movie almost tore him and his brother apart

the movie put a really big strain on my relation to being we both knew the difference is for my brother my dad was always the most amazing man he ever knew for me he went from being a monster it's the most amazing man and I just assumed we were in the same place and to find out he was like you know I don't know you know I I mean dad would spank us but that I don't I remember that at all a week before the premiere he called said hey I don't think I can come and I was like never said a word and I'm like oh really because yeah he said I just he goes I just think I had a different childhood than you and he was like and I just don't remember him that way there are things that are embellished and not exact it's two-hour movie but the things I was really sensitive to were the kind of the violent moments or the you know that those are ones I was really careful with because I didn't want it to be sugar-coated and then like but you know I just want to be as intense as it could be this show this is was like and my brothers kind of randomly said man because don't you think he kind of embellished some of those things to sell more tickets and it just ripped my heart on my chest like did he would say that he could have punched me square in the face like this that was such a sensitive thing for me Stephens struggling with the fact that he wasn't there to protect me and that's the that's the roof at all what I haven't my brother now is better than I've had in 20 years or longer than that our lives because we're actually talking about stuff that matters and not just how your kids or they're growing like a weed is a renovator friend near all right whose house we going to in Thanksgiving yeah it's like we're actually talking about us but it's so funny because like he'll look at me as having the success or whatever and he's just uh he's a blue car hard worker but it's like he's one of the only few of my life that that can change the trajectory of my life just by whatever he says like he's still my older brother his joke is like are you Bart Starr he doesn't know Bart's my little brother what's this always answered everybody
