'Avatar Aang': Look How They Massacred My Boy

100 movies every catholic should see


Giving a pagan Greek hero a line adapted from later Jewish wisdom is an interesting choice; more centrally, Nolan reinterprets a key theme in Homer’s work in terms overtly drawn from one of the most revered of Jesus’ sayings.

Wake Up Dead Man is about an impossible murder, among other impossible mysteries; it is also about the sociopolitical implications of two opposing conceptions of Christianity and of Catholicism in particular.

“Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.” That saying from the Talmud — popularized as a tagline for Schindler’s List , in which Ben Kingsley’s Itzak Stern quotes the line — is not used in The Life of Chuck , but in my mind it might as well be.
