The Trophy Case was a film produced by the LDS Church through the Brigham Young University film department in the year 1980. The film is approximately 26 minutes long. This movie begins with a teenager who gets into a lot of trouble with the law while out with some friends at night. Although it seems that the boy has it all, the truth is that he does not. The boy is a very popular and very talented athlete who has won many awards at his local high school. His father has dedicated an entire room to the trophies he has acquired. Although the child still feels that something is missing.

He returns home after getting into trouble with the law by returning home to his father. Her father has the father’s interview with her son. Her father had no real desire to listen to his son, she just wanted to teach him a lesson, help him out of trouble so that he could then go back to the soccer program, get a scholarship and fulfill his dream of being a champion. However, this dream was not shared by both, this dream was really the father’s dream, since her father could never do the things that he wanted his son to do. The boy dreams of one day taking care of horses at a local stable.

As the discussion continues, the boy realizes that the dream is not his and that his father has not been listening to him. The boy is bitter and tells his dad that he doesn’t want the trophies anymore and that his dad can keep them. His father only gets angrier. The son runs off and goes to a nearby stable where he begins to take care of some horses. There is a girl who is there and he spills her guts on her. The father arrives at the stable and calls out to the son, only to see that the son has ridden off into the sunset, signifying that the boy will start a new life without his father.

This movie is a good story with a strange ending. You are left with no sense of direction, it hardly feels complete. The LDS church’s style of making movies has changed. Old style are classic edition movies with a simple plot, usually about people who are in trouble. Today’s church movies use more realistic editing and follow real people with real events that are making big changes in their lives. LDS filmmaking is not new, but it has changed dramatically over the years.
