is there anyone else with me on this?

and the mini series?

it was on tv last night here in New Zealand.

you see its not so much the cinematography, or the costumes, because i adore them

its the subject

and the disturbedness of it all

once they hit the ice berg

i cant watch

i’m so disturbed i even feel like throwing up

and i am certain i wont sleep for the night

 

i first saw the movie after been on a 12 day beach mission with a bunch of young people from church

me and the carload of people that drove 6 hours back home decided to go to the movie, it had just come out

so before going home to shower or even to eat

we went

ended up in row 3 on the end

i was cold, hungry and peed a lot

yes all factors that contributed to my instense dislike of the movie

 

but it got to that point again in it

when they lock the lower class into their lower levels

and they fill the life boats with the rich, the few rich

and when it all goes pear shape

 

the children, the mothers, the fathers, the newly weds, the HUMAN BEINGS

abandoned

 

the injustice stinks, reeks, disturbs

but really its more than that

you see

what i feel most

when i watch titanic

is conviction

that we’re on the boat ourselves

and its going down

and we know the way of rescue and are at the lifeboats

but are we taking the other people with us

or locking them out and shoving them out of our way or indifferently not caring

 

the gospel is the way, the rescue

the boat is going down

will i share what hope i have, what certainty i have?

 

 

 

 

 

* i think this post well describes the response we should have to the world and the lost…
