Movies/Scenes
Representing
Prophets/Prophecy
- Beloved
(1998)
- Baby Suggs as the prophet/preacher who encourages and motivates her people to find freedom.
- Simon Birch
(1998)
- Simon Birch fulfilled the role of mediator by speaking up to authority on issues of justice. I love the scene in the church when he challenges the pastor on "church business". Throughout the movie he was an example of a powerless boy standing up for what was right and pointing others to goodness and to God. (Judith Snyder)
- Dark City (1998)
- John is "born" into hotel room #614. John 6:14 is about a prophet coming into the world. John ends up saving the world from eternal darkness and the manipulation of The Strangers.
- The
Stand (1994)
- Mother Abigail as one who knows those who come to her house, and knows what is happening in the struggle between good and evil.
- Kareem Abdul Jabbar as prophet: "He's closer now. The monster. The Dark Man. He's coming." (DVD part 1, chapter 21)
- Natural Born Killers
(1994)
- Mickey Knox as the prophet who understands evil at its core, and yet does not understand his own moral responsibility within it. (Prison interview.)
