The main task of Just FYI Pod’s first season is to explore the “20 Most Spiritually Significant Films of All Time.” On this episode, my cohost Amy Welborn and I discuss the #13 film on our respective lists. Amy has selected Ralph Nelson’s acclaimed comedy Lilies of the Field (1963), starring Sidney Poitier. I have chosen Frank Darabont’s prison drama The Shawshank Redemption (1994), starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Although very different in plot and in tone, both films can be seen as cinematic meditations on the so-called “theological virtues”—faith, hope, and love.
As ever, links are provided below. Please like, share, and comment!
Excellent episode. Loved your connection to Faith, Hope and Love.
