In
Her infinite compassion, Master has once again taken the time to put
together a list of recommended movies for our spiritual growth and viewing
pleasure (see "Good Family Movies" in News Magazine 108 for
a list of previously recommended films). With themes ranging from comedy
to drama, these movies can elicit the spectrum of emotions that Master
has spoken of as being beneficial to us all: joyful laughter and compassionate
tears.
Although
the recommended movies in this issue are categorized as children's,
their messages will warm the hearts of old and young alike. Comedies
range from the timeless humor of Charlie Chaplin to the more zany amusement
conveyed by Jim Carrey (Liar Liar and Ace Ventura). And of course Master
has included several emotionally-touching films that contain a deeper
message. One such classic, Black Beauty, tells the story of a horse
that endured mistreatment at the hands of human owners, only to "forgive
all" once he knew that he was truly loved again.
