My sister-in-law recommended this movie to me last weekend and so Lindsay and I watched it last night together. It was one of the better movies I have seen lately along with Crash. I loved all the wilderness footage, the music, the character development, the gripping story, the message, the narrative, and, yes, even the ending as tragic as it was. We can't stop thinking about it.

Jesus’ Third Way
- Seize the moral initiative
- Find a creative alternative to violence
- Assert your own humanity and dignity as a person
- Meet force with ridicule or humor
- Break the cycle of humiliation
- Refuse to submit or to accept the inferior position
- Expose the injustice of the system
- Take control of the power dynamic
- Shame the oppressor into repentance
- Stand your ground
- Force the Powers to make decisions for which they are not prepared
- Recognize your own power
- Be willing to suffer rather than to retaliate
- Cause the oppressor to see you in a new light
- Deprive the oppressor of a situation where a show of force is effective
- Be willing to undergo the penalty for breaking unjust laws
- Die to fear of the old order and its rules
Easter
The Issue
"The issue is not, 'What must I do in order to secure my salvation?' but rather, 'What does God require of me in response to the needs of others?' It is not, 'How can I be virtuous?' But 'How can I participate in the struggle of the oppressed for a more just world?' Otherwise our nonviolence is premised on self-justifying attempts to establish our own purity in the eyes of God, others, and ourselves, and that is nothing less than a satanic temptation to die with clean hands and a dirty heart."
