Reediting 'Babylon' and sanctifying Hollywood, via MarkGJudge.
. Carl Jung once noted that the creative process often involves mining the subconscious"shadow," where our anger, passion, sexual desire, and memories reside. Yet Jung drew a sharp line between that and whatoffers, which is graphic orgies, violence, and elephant dung in your face. Hollywood’s problem these days, along with poor screenwriting and woke movies that cram liberalism down your throat, is that it has lost its ability and desire to create a spiritual vision.
In a way, all these characters are religious pilgrims. Film is their god and Hollywood their church. Film critic Josh Larsen has observed in his book,that human beings are, by nature, praying creatures and that this prayer extends to making and watching movies.
Teeming is the word Larsen uses to describe this world. It is the same word that is used in different variations in both Genesis and the Psalms to describe the vast life force of the sea. Quoting Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann —"Praise is not only a human requirement and a human need, it is a human delight" — Larsen convincingly argues that, the seminal 1960 film by Jean-Luc Godard that was a seminal film of the French New Wave of cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.
Again and again, Larsen touches on the theme of praise not as rote and memorized prayers — although, as a Christian, Larsen sees the value of those expressions — but as happiness, joy, and delight. As Larsen observes, in both churches and movie theaters, we"set aside our time and our space to gather in community and join our concentration ... to apply our intellectual, emotional, and artistic prowess toward considering the world and our purpose within it.
