I watched Barabas yesterday. It was made when I was just a baby and lots of people weren't even born yet.It was based on a novel and the author won the Nobel Peace prize for it. At first I was watching it all critically as things have gotten to a point nowdays that movie watching is right there and so realistic that it invades your brain space in every way.
I stopped and started over again after I vowed to see it from an unartistic standpoint. It was great. I remember it touched my heart so deeply when I was a kid. His conversion experience was beautiful.
Also, in my rebellious moments, I also watch foreign films instead of the stereotypes coming out of Hollywood. A German film I watched was quite beautiful on the point of sacrifice.
A young German soldier was sent to Siberia at the end of WWII. He was prisoner in a horrible freezing mining camp. The story follows his escape across 8,000 miles. The amazing thing was how he met people along the way that sacrificed their lives to help him get home. All the time he was pursued by the Commanding Officer from the prison. The ending is very interesting and had a lot of love in it. "As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me"
I am really amazed at how much is always happening all around us. God is working so incredibly in so many lives all at once. We see so little but our essence is such a series of daily miracles.
With all my commentary, you may wonder if I do much but watch old and foreign movies. Well, keep guessing. It's an interesting thought!
