A Return to the Mystery - Religion, Fantasy and Entertainment
Hear the radio show "Speaking of Faith" about spiritual and religious themes in movies and television. Guess which TV show is included? |
"During the past decade, there has been an explosion of films and television programs containing religious and spiritual themes. Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ was only the tip of the iceberg. As new generations of Americans work out their spiritual and religious questions, they are increasingly turning to fantasy.
We'll explore the deeper appeal of films like Harry Potter and The Matrix, and we'll ask how fantasy in media reflects a changing spiritual imagination, especially in younger Americans."
They play Sarah McLachlan's "Prayer of Saint Francis" and talk about the meaning of the song in the season 6 finale.
You can hear the radio show, when you go to the source page. They talk about "Buffy" beginning with minute 46. Don't worry, you don't have to hear the 46 minutes before that, if you don't want to.
