Meet God at the Movies will discuss the 2000 comedy/drama O Brother, Where Art Thou? when it meets at 6:30pm on Monday, April 22 (instead of its usual time on the third Monday of the month.)

As per Armin Ortmann, the movie is “loosely based on Homer's "Odyssey." It deals with the picaresque adventures of Ulysses Everett McGill and his companions Delmar and Pete in 1930s Mississippi. Sprung from a chain gang and trying to reach Everett's home to recover the buried loot of a bank heist, they are confronted by a series of strange characters—among them sirens, a cyclops, bank robber George "Baby Face" Nelson (very annoyed by that nickname), a campaigning governor and his opponent, a KKK lynch mob, and a blind prophet who warns the trio that ‘the treasure you seek shall not be the treasure you find.’"

Saint Philip’s movie discussion group gathers every month via Zoom to explore a film and plumb it for theological content in the areas of creation (what is the world of the story like); what is broken/where is sin; is there a moment of turnaround, repentance; and where is redemption or the reign of God visible.

All are welcome to join the discussions—only once, sporadically, or on a regular basis—but registration is required. You can register by emailing Mtr Mary at mary.trainor@stphilipstucson.org.

O Brother, Where Art Thou can be watched on Amazon Prime, Fandango at Home, and through a Roku device.
