Shadowlands (1993)

Information at Internet Movie Database

Hollywood Jesus visual review

"Capturing C.S. Lewis's 'Mere' Christianity: Another Look at Shadowlands," Mary Dodson, Journal of Religion and Film.

Themes

Conversion

Grief

There's a fabulous and incredibly powerful scene in Shadowlands after Debra Winger has passed away. Anthony Hopkins is sitting in the attic w/her son and they begin talking about their feelings. The boy has some powerful feelings as he shares that he doesn't believe in God anymore. Anthony Hopkins gives him permission to feel that way and the scene ends w/both of them sharing how much they miss her and end up crying together over their loss. (Jim Young)

Healing/Healers

CS Lewis delivers a speech about why God allows suffering.
Start cue: "Yesterday I received a letter".
End cue: "Thank you very much" (approx 1.5 mins).

Prayer

a very short section where Lewis makes a profound statement on prayer.
Start cue: "Jack, what�s news?"
End cue: "It doesn�t change God, it changes me." (Youth Alpha Australia)
