The God Father and Chocolat

In this clip Vicki describes how the ‘Godfather’ is a movie that helps us to explore our own spirituality. In it we see the movement from innocence to corruption.

The Godfather provides an interesting insight into human nature. We watch as Michael is corrupted by the ‘family business’ and at the same time are drawn into complicity in so far as Coppolla convinces us to love these characters.

In this clip Vicki compares the movie ‘Chocolat’ to a section of Luke in which Jesus interacts with the outcasts of society.

If you haven’t seen ‘Chocolat’ before watch it! Consider how it compares to the section in Luke Vicki describes. Which characters in the movie do you resonate with? Which ones do you find do be difficult to understand or appreciate?
