Shadowlands - 7

This film is the true story of author C.S. Lewis. It is good film in which to discuss many of the themes that Lewis wrote about, especially the problem of pain and suffering, as well as his "lapsed atheism." It is interesting to see how Lewis learns through this process and recognizes his own limitations in having answers to life's questions. He doesn't give up the search but rather learns to live and work in greater humility. I think that too often we look at the world and see it as non-sensical and draw back, rather than to look into ourselves and see that the way we perceive and now is also sometimes non-sensical. Lewis can be a good model for how we can live through this interaction of a world and humans that are not "the way they are suppose to be." That their is something larger than individuals lost in the cosmos, in fact, maybe we are already home and we just don't know it.
