The church and the movies


"I don't really see a conflict between the church and the movies. The sacred and the profane. Obviously there are majour differences. But I can also see great similarities between the church and the movie house. Both are places for people to come together and share a common experience. I believe there is spirituality in films, even if it's not one that can supplant faith. I have found over the years that many films address themselves to the spiritual side of man's nature, from Griffith's film Intolerance (1916) to John Ford's The Grapes of Wrath (1940) to Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) to Kubrick's 2001 (1968) and so many more... It's as if movies answer an ancient quest for the common unconscious. To fulfill a spiritual need that people have to share a common memory."
