As the conversation continues, another wise one in my life has responded by email to the first response I received to Terrence Malick’s “A Hidden Life” – First Impressions. With permission, here is another insightful contribution to this conversation.
Last Sunday I attempted to preach on Jeremiah 18:11. I remain unsettled and unsatisfied with the result.
It has been a long time (three years in fact!) since I have posted any comments on this blog referring to Terrence Malick’s filmography.

Here are three more markers along the way that helped guide me to that place where faith seemed a viable worldview for me to adopt.
Binx Bolling put a link in the comments section of my post “The Tree of Life’ #2 – A Religion Too Small for Terrence Malick”. The link is from PBS where Roy Anker, Calvin College Professor of English, speaks with considerable insight about Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life.” It is worth watching:

I can only imagine that a flattering movie review from writer and spiritual entrepreneur Deepak Chopra comes as manna from heaven for a major contender in the competition for the Oscars. But, I hope Terrence Malick does not read Chopra’s recent take on his film “The Tree of Life”.

I am pretty sure I have said enough about Terrence Malick’s film “The Tree of Life” on this blog.
