- Information
Description
This book explores the representation of the idea or theme of redemption in contemporary, popular film.
The discussion focuses primarily on the work of three directors – Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and Kore-eda Hirokazu – but also considers a few films from other directorial hands.
David Rankin divides the notion of personal redemption into transactional and transformational aspects, differentiating between redemption, understood as that which is external to the person but impacting on their being and environment, and that which is internal to the person.
Redemption is viewed broadly as a journey from brokenness to wholeness, from imprisonment to release, or from some form of slavery to freedom.
Both secular and religious (especially Christian) understandings of the notion are discussed, and consideration is given to how the former might inform the latter.
