Christ Figures in the Movies

Apropos of our recent feature on Christ-figures in film, we found an article by Barbara Nicolosi that covers similar ground with a bit more theological detail, dividing the images into priests, prophets, and kings. Section one:  ”Other films that offer compelling portrayals of characters that offer themselves for others in a Christlike priesthood include: The Miracle Worker (both versions), Metropolis, The Iron Giant, Glory, Open City, The Mission and The Country Girl.” (Catholic Exchange, February 2003)
