Redeeming social values

I think that it is both the right and responsibility of every generation to redeem social values. What are these values, that is up to time not us to decide.

We should understand history, the past wants to teach us what we are and are not capable of. I know that there are lots of people out there trying to determine the nature of humanity, particularly if it is good or bad intrinsically. I vote for both, I believe in the fall and I think that there is more than enough evidence to convince the logical that humanity exhibits both the moral and perverse.

What imspires this blog is the upcoming movie "The Nativity Story" starring Keish Castle-Hughes, brilliant young lady from Maori culture. I understand that she is the youngest actress ever to receive a nomination for her role in her first movie "Whale Rider"

I for one can't help but relate to her struggle in the male dominated society. Her father and her grandfather figures in the movie are very realistic to me.

Movies seem to take a life of their own on in some cases, and they are not always recognized for what they are in the beginning. Remember "the Passion" and please no references to the human frailties of the producers, that's cold and old.

Keisha will play the part of 16 year old mother of Jesus Mary...I cannot think of better casting, she will be brilliant.

Last night I bought the soundtrack in advance of the movie. You have to understand the significance of the birth of Jesus to appreciate how much the world longs for this movie, unknown.

We will not be cynical, and we may only be curious, but I dare anyone to watch this movie and not see something new.

Thanks Keisha, I pray and believe that you were born to do this, God Bless You.
