RNS Oscars: 10 movies from 2020 with spiritual angles you may have missed

RNS Oscars: 10 movies from 2020 with spiritual angles you may have missed
These films caught hold of some truth about faith or glimpsed the spiritual in the stories they told.
April 23, 2021
(RNS) — The most blatantly spiritual title of 2020, Pixar’s “Soul” turned out to be a bait and switch. With inventive, almost casually brilliant animation, Pixar invented a “before life” realm where souls have to earn their ticket to Earth. The cosmological setup and the nature of the soul are prime subject matter for religious themes, yet there’s nary a nod to religion, just Disney-Pixar’s patented brand of self-realization.

The Mauritanian movie review : The Mauritanian: compelling Guantanamo Diary adaptation

Starring
Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch, Shailene Woodley
Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Tahar Rahim convincingly inhabit their roles in this compelling post-9/11 legal drama, based on Mohamedou Ould Salahi's best-selling real life account,
Guantanamo Diary, and mostly played out in the infamous Cuban-US enclave.
In a sense, it's an older more weathered Clarice Starling from
Silence of the Lambs we meet in
The Mauritanian. Foster is thirty-one years older, but, along with a few (pale) laughter lines, we are still getting the thin, pursed lips, the same blue-eyed steely determination wringing every drop out of the moment. The same tersely-enunciated pronouncements on what is right and wrong, the stern unflinching ability to sift through the lies people tell, will prove familiar.
