DEAR MOVIES IBD

Sinopse

In Dear Movies, Peter Malone draws on his long experience of film reviewing and of writing and leading workshops on films and values. áHe has often been asked, âÇÖWhatâÇÖs your favourite film?âÇÖ áDear Movies is part of his answer.He as chosen to write letters to over 100 movies, each letter beginning a conversation with the film, opening up some of their themes, their ways of telling stories, their roles as fables and parables. áHe also shares what each movie means to him, inviting us - the readers - to discover our dear movies: how the movies we enjoy help us to explore values, offering insights into the spirituality of daily living and more demanding challenges.He remembers that Jesus told stories about the ordinary, familiar things of everyday life - stories that still teach us to look more deeply into ourselves and identify what is real, lasting, precious, encouraging, difficult and demanding.This is the kind of storytelling we look for in films. áDear Movies reminds us that while we have always looked for values and spirituality in music, in the visual arts, in theatre, in poetry and novels, movies too invite us to share experiences and to connect film with our understanding of GodâÇÖs purposes for our lives.Reading PeterâÇÖs Dear Movies is more than a joy and revelation. áIt is a reminder of the power of pictures, and the important role movies still play in al our lives today - Forward by Jan Epstein.
