Searching for meaning, purpose and love finds its way into profane stories that often don’t mention religion or the Golden Rule.
But these stories show and have no time to tell. Showing is always the most dramatic way to get in a dig for right over wrong.
Today, the Academy Awards had much love to show:
A Star is Born, shows an incredible romance with three people, he, she and his demons.
Black Clansman, forget the Klan, those people are idiots and find hate and that hate might be the only way they can make money. This is a love story between two cops, one black and one a Jew.
Green Book, here a love between a white and black is shown amidst 1970s hate.
Roma, shows a live-in housekeeper in Mexico City who has a life of her own.
We are not told what is right or wrong. The movie shows us the way.
