Flatliners (1990)

Themes

Forgiveness

I have used the movie "Flatliners" starring Julia Roberts and Keiffer Sutherland several times in illustrating forgiveness. The whole movie deals with this theme. One character needs forgiveness from a woman he teased as a child to make his delusions go away. Another character needs to forgive her father for committing suicide when she was young. The last character needs to forgive himself for accidentally killing another boy when he was younger. The moral: Only forgiveness can rid us of our "ghosts." Only Christ can offer true forgiveness.
