"What I resent about Christmas is this general presumption of good will, I feel no good will towards my fellow man only idiot will"
"nothing about how you feel, feelings are far too unreliable"
"and what has it got to do with?"
"God becomes man...simple as that"
"and what has it got to do with?"
"God becomes man...simple as that"
"Then God MUST be bonkers. Who would choose voluntarily to be human? Almost satisfactory to stay divine"
"Well than think of Christmas in terms of magic. The birth of a helpless squealing creature who happens to be God in an omnipotent baby. Doesn't that satisfy your taste for the peculiar? The coming of new life in the heart of winter when everything seems to be dead. The snow falls and the trees bear fruit...that's real magic"
I thought this was a nice thought provoking little ditty on Christmas given in a very funny way. Especially when all seems to be dead we must remember that God came to be divine for us.
And again later when talking about marrying joy for citizenship:
"I've decided to marry Joy"
"No jack, you astound me""Don't worry Warren, nothings going to change I'm not really going to marry her. What I happen to do is to extend my British citizenship to her and her boys so that she can go on living in England"
"by marrying her"
"Only technically. A true marriage is a declaration before God, not before some government official. This will be a bureaucratic formality, nothing more. We will all go on living exactly as before"
Shadowlands is an account of CS Lewis as he falls in love with his wife Joy. Their marriage is short lived, and this PBS special takes no shortcuts in examining the pain that comes with the death of a loved one. It depicts the sanctity of marriage is a hauntingly beautiful way, remind us that all of life passes away and heaven is which we should cling.
