A bundle of nice spiritual Movies

Saturday, 26th September 2009

I thought it would be nice to mention a couple of interesting movies that were quiteedifying.
1. The Chosen – A Jewish Movie talking about a jewish boy life from a jewish perspective,would be interesting since it represents many of the nice jewish traditions.2. Diary of a Country Priest (1954) – A French Catholic movie observing a life of Godinspired Catholic priest, which somehow didn’t fit to the whole catholic church reality,however, his attitude towards life was like old times saints. Just like yoursaviour and Lord Jesus Christ he was rejected and people hated by most of the people.His everyday food consisted in bread and wine. It seems he suffered a stomach cancerdisease which progressed through out the movie. The movie shows the human sufferingand many of the everyday temptations we face as christians, it’s said to be oneof the most notable spiritual movies ever made.3. Nazarin (1959) – A class movie by Nuis Bunuel, mostly in the protestant tradition.The story behind the movie is about a man who does followed the New Testament our Lord’sJesus Christ teaching quite literally. He was followed by some followers who got inspiredby his eagerness and strive for holiness, he was believed to be a modern day saint byhis followers (two women) and later on a dwarf like man.4. Geroi Shipki – A Russian Bulgarian history based movie made to present the Bulgarianbattle for restoration of their country liberty which would be impossible without thehelp of our orthodox brotherly nation (The Russians). Another interesting point forviewers would be how the movie illustrates some similarities between Bulgarians andRussians based on their similar language and their common Orthodox faith.END—–
