Shadowlands
Filme realizado por Richard Attenborough em 1993, onde se conta a história de amor entre CS Lewis (autor das Crónicas de Narnia) e uma fã americana de nome Joy Gesham. Uma história cativante e provocante, mostrando como o amor, a morte, Deus, a alegria e a dor, coexistem na vida.
Evento integrado no"Happening 2006" do CLUniversitários.
Um filme espantoso que não me poupou! Imperdível!
Deixo alguns excertos da IMDB:
Jack: Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
Joy: Jack, don't you sometimes just bust to share the joke? Here's your friends thinking we're unmarried and up to all sorts of wickedness, when all along we're married and up to nothing at all.
Joy: Back where I come from, there's this quaint old custom. When a guy makes up his mind to marry a girl, he asks her. It's called proposing. Did I miss it?
Harry: Christopher can scoff, Jack, but I know how hard you've been praying; and now God is answering your prayers. C. S. Lewis: That's not why I pray, Harry. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me.
Joy Gresham: We can't have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That's the deal.
C. S. Lewis: Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
C.S. Lewis: He comes; he sleeps; he goes. So the plot thickens.
Joy Gresham: Are you TRYING to be offensive, or merely stupid?
Jack: Will you marry this foolish, frightened old man... who needs you more than he can bear to say... who loves you, even though he hardly knows how?
