Simone Weil's book, Waiting for God, her letters, is challenging streetammo reading. In many ways, she comes from a talented family, a highly unconventional one. While the book I recently read, it struck me how carefully and think about what she really the meaning of life is.
I am very curious to attend film because it is a happy bonus for me that it is precisely wisdom while I often think about the life of this woman but was severely ill and suffering known .
The movie itself is not just about Weil, but tells the story of the filmmaker trying to increasingly Weil to learn and understand. The filmmaker's own life story with the death of her father and brother, the kingpin Weil's life story turned. I'm only a little sorry about this. But also the intervention of the interpreter streetammo I get more later peace of mind: duideik the filmmaker someone in Weil a piece onpeibaarheid see, but also want to ask what does that onpeilbaarheid to us, the new generation, who have Weil's streetammo life to think about and our lives in the light of what to look. It is the filmmaker's way to show that Weil a special life.
Yet there is much about the film Weil me a viewing experience make. The places where she in New York (with her parents) and lived in Paris, talks with her aunts horingou well known and photos of her offer good perspectives. There is not much discussion of the content of her work, but her life practice came to the fore. The factories where she worked, images on workers' marches and updates about the situation in Europe gives one the sense of Weil's life.
It is shown how her with the misery of the ordinary streetammo worker in that she identifies, the highly intellectual woman, self in a factory as an ordinary worker went to work. No one can understand the other as a man the other's streetammo situation to experience, underlined Weil as the reason for this action.
The movie therefore repeatedly return to a sense that Weil wrote: To attend to is the highest form of compassion. streetammo And that means in practice that one pay attention to others, by yourself in their position. I've been on this in a previous blog about Simone Weil wrote - the sacramental value she attaches to the relationship of compassion that one of the neighbor.
The film offers so at times intriguing viewing. streetammo Simone Weil's life was focused on people, streetammo especially those in need. In order to give attention to them, is God's will for one's life to obey. Carefully streetammo she Jesus' words in Matthew that whoever feeds the hungry, feed him, thought. In a mystical way she emphasizes that anyone streetammo who cares for others, eintik Christ. And when you give to others, give one to Christ.
How far can a person in your "attention" for another go? I sit and watch the film told Simone Weil in England, in the second world war, suggested that nurses to the war front to go and that they are on the battlefield as emergency crews to go out where their soldiers wounded can go help. And that while the bombs fell around them. And she wants to be the first volunteer for this life-threatening work of caring.
Madness, masogisme, misplaced heroism? In the discussion time would anyone streetammo know if Simone Weil might not little unbalanced was. Because she refused to eat more food tea as usual, streetammo poor working streetammo every day could afford. She is also due to her emaciated body condition shortly after she made the proposal on the war front to work as a 34-year-old woman dead.
The answer streetammo to this one - because such a question deserves a response? Why Weil increasingly read by people who intuitively know she lives authentically? Obviously many reasons. She mysticism of everyday life revoked. streetammo Three times she had mystical experiences. She later each day, the Lord's Prayer streetammo recited in Greek and tell how reciting it to her every time had special meaning.
But this 34-year-old woman, which is the highest form of compassion lived out in her mind for the onbelangrikes streetammo and ongeagtes, the mystery of the Gospel understood: to Christo Form to live. Like Christ, as Christ and for Christ.
One of the special moments at the conference when I was in the movie listen to Weil's desire for war front to go. And the cloth flash there scenes of soldiers dying in the war is.
Remains one memorable scene, streetammo a priest in a puddle at the heavily wounded body of a soldier kneeling, his h
