Meet God at the Movies

Meet God at the Movies will discuss the 1998 period romantic comedy Shakespeare in Love when the group gathers at 6:30pm on Monday, July 17.

As per “Rotten Tomatoes,” Shakespeare in Love is a romantic comedy for the 1990s set in the 1590s. It imaginatively unfolds the witty, sexy and timeless tale behind the creation of the greatest love story ever told. A young Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) is out of cash and ideas, he meets his ideal woman (Gwyneth Paltrow) and she inspires him to write one of his most famous plays.

The 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, but registration is required. You can register by emailing Mtr Mary at mary.trainor@stphilipstucson.org.

Shakespeare in Love can be streamed on Apple TV, Paramount+, Amazon Prime, Vudu, Youtube, and Directv.
