One of my all-time favorite movies. Maybe because it is
about a simpler view on life. Maybe because it displays pure love between souls,
or because it shows a life based on integrity. Maybe all of the above and more.
The scene near the end always hits me hard. A father and his son, and how the
father feels for the son, and how he does what is needed for the son. He seeks
to honor his son and avenge those who took his son’s life. All this, because it
feels to be the right thing to do…..
It is a human movie with human themes and I can’t draw a
comparison to God and the Son except to say that we, as a people, love vengeance
and how it makes us feel whole….for the moment. But, God unconditionally loves
us and needs none of that…..that is what makes life as a follower so very hard
at times to do and understand.
Peace,
