- Themes
- Covenant
- Prayer and a corresponding vow made to God are
central elements in the story of the currently playing "End of
the Affair." (submitted by Lynn Mason)
- Faith, Love
- I think this is an important, even astonishing,
film that deals with issues of faith and love (and atheism) in a
profound and moving way. It's also very sensual but in a humane (not
Hollywood) sense. (submitted by Lynn Mason)
- Healing, Miracles
- Sarah clearly believed in miracles but
while she could heal others she couldn't, or wouldn't save
herself. I enjoyed the way the same scene was shown from the
perspective of different characters, especially the scene where
Maurice appears, Lazarus like, in the doorway after Sarah makes her
promise to God. (submitted by Mike Clark, Hamilton, Canada.)
- Prayer
- Prayer and a corresponding vow made to God are
central elements in the story of the currently playing "End of
the Affair." "Be careful what you pray for -- you may get
it!" (submitted by Lynn Mason)
- Repentance
- Sarah promises God that she will
leave her lover if he survives. She does not repent of the love,
but rather of the way she wants to express it.
