His Only Son (2023)
Connects the dots
It is often said that scripture interprets scripture, but most of us are working with incidental fragments from a rather large book. This writer takes one of the toughest messages and manages to assemble the supporting chapters and events without becoming bogged down, overwhelming the novice or boring the expert. I know the story of Abraham and Sarah quite well, and bought tickets with the idea that I would suffer through a low budget interpretation for a good cause, but it was a great show; I walked away feeling like I met the characters and gained new perspectives on the message. Nice segue into the Gospels, great message for young and old, light on the graphic stuff and excellent for conversation after the film.
The Whale (2011)
Blubber brains
I encourage all to watch, but note that this documentary is not as much about a misplaced whale in a busy shipping lane as it is about humans surrendering logic on the altar of selfish desire..... And if only the tragic outcome would ave produced honest reflection, repentance, forgiveness and growth, but sadly nothing was learned..... The news media of that era, most likely took the easy feel good route; as did the writers of this documentary.
