Faith, Film, & Philosophy, ch. 3

This chapter hit a little too close to home for me. I have close friends who are nearing divorce and their story sounds like it was ripped from the pages of "Bridges of Madison County". "Either we learn to love genuinely, or we wither away in loneliness." Film has taught me more about love than any other place in this world. Yet, it was only as I understood love through the eyes of God that anything worth knowing was learned. Examining these three films is a great way of thinking through love. With these three (Pretty Woman, Legends of the Fall, and Bridges of Madison County) there could be added to the list a hundred more. This chapter was well-written, quote-heavy, and deeply insightful.
