Movies/Scenes
Representing
Mary Magdalene types
- The
Matrix
(1999)
- relationship between Trinity and Neo. (See review at Hollywood Jesus.)
-
Pleasantville (1998)
- When the boy returns home (present time) via the magical remote... the two women standing by him to say goodbye are his mother and his girlfriend. I think it's a Mary, mother of Jesus, & Mary Magdalene motif (as at the foot of the cross). (Alix Pridgen)
- Phenomenon
(1996)
- A great "Messiah" movie. Think of Jesus before Pilate when George Malley is being interviewed about his "gifts." Think about Mary anointing Jesus' feet when Lacy washes George's hair and shaves his face. Think about communion when George's friends gather at the end of the movie for a commemorative meal. Etc., etc., etc. (Jim Somerville, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Washington, D. C.)
