As Easter nears, no Easter in Annie's story or the BM movie?? But??
Artiste:
Merci Front-Ranger !
Since you say:
Easter is the very end of the movie, where Ennis departs from the scene, but his view, the open window, remains, with the blue sky, the tan road, and in between them, the green green barley growing. It is a scene full of hope, which is surprising since Ennis has "lost" everything. He has no hope, not enough furniture, his lover is dead, he's divorced, he's just renounced a job in the Tetons, and his first-born child is about to leave him to go out and get married. Yet there is hope, because of the promise of Nature and life. There is hope for the future, and for future generations, and for us.
.........
Are you saying that is too the result of Easter?
Hope and presence of life go together??[/b]
Au revoir,
hugs! Happy Holy Tuesday!

Resurrecting this old thread in time for Holy Week.
The minister told us about the sixth miracle of Jesus last Sunday and I had to laugh... He gave sight to a blind man. He spit onto the ground and made mud with the saliva and earth. He placed the mud on the man's eyelids, told him to go wash in the pond. And when the man did so, he could see.
Since it was Palm Sunday, we also discussed Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey. An unbroken colt. Yup, Jesus was a cowboy, all right!

Sure enough, Della. But Jesus commanded his disciples to go into the town and find a donkey that had an unbroken colt beside it, and bring the colt back to him. If anyone asked, they were to say that "The Lord has need of it." By riding into Jerusalem on the unbroken colt, Jesus was fulfilling one of the many prophecies about him that were made by the Old Testament prophets. It may have been Zachariah.
