I think what I'm doing here is using some of the ideas behind cinema divina as a departure point to think about my own values in film viewing, considering the ways in which the two approaches have similarities, and noting that both are fundamentally different that most film criticism that we read, or the ways of responding to film that are modeled by many reviewers.Ron Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744783679902979376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16811040.post-10583554404809913252010-10-31T08:19:27.924-07:002010-10-31T08:19:27.924-07:00Can't disagree with anything you said, but I f...Can't disagree with anything you said, but I find it slightly ironic that you may have overthought it a bit.

Think next time I see it, I'd better get it. I've beleived for a long time ago now that the books one is supposed to read will cross one's path.
