Last movie you saw?

[Heinrich]

Hacksaw Ridge(best movie of the year) and Silence(don't know what to think,  dramatic and at times very moving but then again perverted in a way. Did Japanese villagers really didn't know that Jesus was God and had an inadequate or ever a tiny understanding of Christianity? In my opinion a wasted opportunity to show the real Kakure Kirishitan but then again it was based on a book. Does anyone know how closely does the movie follow the story-line of the book.

It is a difficult, engrossing, but ultimately disappointing (to me) book.  The movie was incredibly faithful to it, for better and worse, with some small but significant exceptions.

I talk extensively about both the movie book here:  http://catholicmovieguy.com/2017/01/27/126/.  I also did a podcast on Hacksaw Ridge that you might enjoy: http://catholicmovieguy.com/2016/11/07/catholic-movie-guy-podcast-episode-4-hacksaw-ridge-top-5-war-films/.

After seeing Hacksaw for a second time, I wonder if it does not present a confusing theological message.

After seeing Hacksaw for a second time, I wonder if it does not present a confusing theological message.

Hmmm.  Maybe.  I hope to watch it again soon.  But my recollection is it was more a celebration of Desmond's fortitude and charity toward others than an affirmation of the correctness of his moral theology.

I saw Logan today.

Brutal, compelling. Big themes, life, death, sacrifice, loss, fleeting opportunities to love.

A tour de force by Patrick Stewart as well as Hugh Jackman and the young Dafne Keen.
