I have to say that I liked your review up to where you start refering to people as "sinners", the rest. I have always wonder why the catholic church has always like to call anyone who does not belong to their group a sinner. It is just plain wrong. We all are sinners.

Paul says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So I agree with you, friend, that we are all sinners. What I don't get is why you object to my using the term?!

I liked the majority of the review, but I'm afraid that I found the "Fargo"="Far Go" reference a bit less than convincing. It reminded me of the dad in "Big Fat Greek Wedding" who can 'prove' every word's basically Greek. Other than that, well done!

themes emerging and will discuss the relevance of them. I may be agnostic but i certainlly do not have a closed mind. As far as Fargo goes i will discuss religion/chirst but as you know i will be aruging that i do not see a case for religous motifs here. Although i do take your points, i cannot agree.

But if you see them in No Country (did you check out my review of it?), you must see them in Fargo, where they are so much clearer! Granted, all interpretation is, to a degree, subjective, but there are, in proper interpretations, objective correlates. I tried to point those out.

This is amazing though :P Here is me a world away dicussing with a priest religous themes! I am watching you matrix commentary now and am finding it very agreeable. But let me present you with a differening interpration. The Matrix can also be a study in the "Plato's Cave", however i suppose this is exactlly what your interpration is saying...

Yes, it's very much along the lines of Plato's cave, which is an archetypal myth of such power that versions of it pop up everywhere.

Fr. Barron, I was wondering, what is your interpretation of the William H. Macy character (Jerry Lundegaard)? I find his character to be quite interesting from the standpoint of morality--he seems to want to find some sort of "middle ground" between good and evil, only to find such a concept illusory...
