Movies/Scenes Representing Emmaus
Road/Recognition Scenes
 | Double Jeopardy (1999)
 | Matty finds sees his mother whom he thought was dead.
("They told me you were dead." "No, Sweetheart.")
(DVD chapter 15) |
|
| The Postman (1997)
| There's a great "Emmaus Road" scene in
"The Postman". The young woman meets The Postman and Abby on
the road and tells them the legend of The Postman, not knowing that it
is him. When Postmaster Ford Lincoln Mercury recognizes The Postman (as
he reads the letter and asks who knows what "p.s." means), the
young woman says that she knew all along that it was him. (DVD Chapter
29) |
|
| Hook (1991)
| The scene where Peter Panny is
trying to be recognised by the Lost Boys. Finally
one of them comes up to him, pulls and squeezes his face
around, and pronounces "It IS you Peter!" (Bob
Barnes) |
|
| Babbette's Feast (1987)
| I reckon the wonderful "Babette's Feast" is
worth mentioning in the context of Jesus' making himself known in the
Breaking of the Bread. It's a great allegory of the one who gives all
for those who have despised him, and who "turns them from enemies
into friends", and the encounter of the "Emmaus Road Two"
is as good as any story to connect with the movie. (submitted by John
