This past year I have gotten into Korean...Hi Julie,<br />This past year I have gotten into Korean tv in a big way. I love seeing the way traditional culture (often aspects that were once shared with the West) survives in the modern world. I find the sensibility very much in keeping with golden era Hollywood movies--more romantic than sexy, bloody violence is not explicit, often done in the shadows or off camera, crime is driven by greed, not by every kind psychological or sexual deviency. The baddies never loose their humanity that way and they are never thrown away or written off. The Korean dramas seem very Christian to me, some are explicitly so.<br /><br />For Lent, I would recommend: <br /><br />Healer (Contrasts how brothers cope with the sin of keeping a lie for two decades.)<br /><br />City Hunter (Baby who was supposed to be aborted. grows up to sacrifically save both his parents.)<br /><br />Pinnochio (Man loves the daughter of the reporter who destroyed his family. There is a lot more to this one, but i dont want to give too much away.)<br /><br />Punch (This one is a bit darker and more serious than the others, which have all have more light hearted and romantic elements. It's about a corrupt prosecutor who finds out he only has 6 months to live. Needless to say, this reorders his priorities between his ex-wife, his young daughter, his corrupt boss, and the rotten system he is caught up in.)<br /><br />These are all basically 20 hr. mini-series. Production values, writing, and acting is top notcH. The one exception is the lead for City Hunter. His acting skills aren't quite up to the rest of the cast, but he has other charms. :)<br /><br />They can be watched with subtitles at dramafever.com or dramacool.com.

Ju...I've had The Mission recommended many time. Just haven't gotten around to it. (Somehow those easier movies always get my attention first!) I need to move it up closer to the top of my list!<br /><br />Schindler's List is one of those which I know is good and worthy but which I just can't watch. That trailer with the little red sweater did it for me on that one. That and having been traumatized by watching Sophie's List when my girls were little.

The repentent mercenary (de Niro) who struggles to carry his weapons and armour up the cliffs only to be relieved of his burden at the top - we had a pastor who would just play us this clip when teaching about Reconciliation and penance.<br /><br />Also, Schindler's List. I can't quite articulate why, but it calls to me strongly during Lent. Maybe the idea of corporate sin and guilt? The idea that my sin (and therefore my penance) can affect the world?Meg Vailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386970670255644833noreply@blogger.com
