# Ronald Reagan's Struggle Was Real - But Not in This Film  - "Reagan", a new film starring [[Dennis Quaid]] as [[Ronald Reagan]], attempts to portray the 40th president and his lifelong fight against communism. - While the film benefits from strong performances and a positive portrayal of Reagan's values, it suffers from an "allergy to struggle", avoiding depictions of Reagan's challenges and internal conflicts. - This aversion to depicting struggle, a common flaw in faith-based films, results in a less compelling narrative and ultimately undermines the film's message by presenting an unrealistic and unrelatable portrayal of its subject.
