Busted Halo on cinema spirituality

Busted Halo writes…Ever wonder where God is in cinema these days? Well perhaps you haven’t seen a handful of this year’s Best Picture nominees. Beasts of the Southern Wild, Les Misérables, and Life of Pi are inherently spiritual films dealing with themes of redemption, salvation, forgiveness, and sacrifice. We’ll be delving deeper into these, specifically Life of Pi, in the coming weeks because honestly you can’t have an Oscar nominated film about a Catholic Muslim Hindu and not write about it in a dedicated Oscar blog on a spiritual website.

Six weeks to go until the little gold statues are presented. What spirituality have you found in the cinema this year? What moral questions have arisen for you while at the movies? And who do you think deserves to win?
