Groundhog Day: Breakthrough to the True Self
Join Documentary Film Series co-host, Mike McKelley, for a look at the mythic
resonances and literary counterparts in the movie Groundhog Day. Groundhog
Day starring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, is an exceptional work of moral
fiction that shows a character who has to be exiled from normal life so
that he can discover that he is in exile from himself. Murray’s character
in the movie is like all kinds of saviours and heroes in well-known stories,
secular and religious, who experience some combination of suffering and
courage, until they go through a transformation to a new state of knowledge.
How do the messages in this film apply to your own life? Class meets Monday
May 5, 7-9 p.m. for the showing of the film, Monday’s May 12 &
19, 7-9 p.m. for guided discussion.
God: A Biography: Non-Fiction Book Club
Is it possible to approach God not as an object of religious reverence,
but as the protagonist of the world's greatest book -- as a character who
possesses all the depths, contradictions, and ambiguities of a Hamlet? How
does he depend on the other characters, and how does his relationship with
them show his development? Author Jack Miles provides a learned, original
exegesis that will send readers back to the Bible in curious amazement.
This book is a winner of the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for biography. Join Rachel
McElhany and the Non-Fiction Book Club on Monday, May 19, from 7:00-9:00
pm.
