At a meeting last week a colleague was talking about a conference he went to on prejudice... he said the presenter said at the beginning that we are all prejudice... AMEN - finally, someone said it... OK, this post isn't about prejudice, it's about movies... ANYWAY! He said the presenter told them to watch "Crash"... I did... I was enthralled. 'nuf said.
Whilst (I love the word whilst) looking for "Crash", I saw "Capote" on the shelf... I had seen it on the shelf before and wondered about it... see, I'm old enough to remember the hu-bub about In Cold Blood, the book about which this film depicts the writing (what kind of grammar was that ?)... (OH, both of these are films, not movies... I should post about what I mean by that sometime) SO, ANYWAY... my wife and I watched "Capote" -- disturbing, very disturbing... at so many levels... the philosophy, the deceit, the violence. the emotional baggage EVERYONE in the film is carrying around - - in body as well as mind and emotion -- I DO NOT recommend it... the darkness of the thing... I expected Frank Peretti-esqe demons to jump out at any moment with their talons deep into the shoulders of EVERYONE! Can you read Romans 1?
