This movie in a Bible study

How can you say that Italian for Beginners are a good base for a bible study?
There is no hidden message..!
Nothing to do with god, ore anything holy..

I don't see how you can say its a perfekt base for bible study!?

Hi mathijs6,


I have tried to say something to this topic earlier, but I never got any response.

I liked the film a lot. One of the reasons I found the story / plot so special (so close to my heart) because it is about the little people. Little people like Mary and Joseph. And God shows himself to these little people - as much as when Christ is born in a stall as when our characters "find each other" (and I don't mean the love relationships). The scene when it becomes obvious is: Giulia prays to Mary in the kitchen of the Italian restaurant. Not only is it Christ's "birthday" - Christmas Eve -, but it is striking too that she works even on this evening.

And I like this "searching for hope", seen by many of the characters - not all of them -, looking for something to do, going to Italian lessons. Italy: warm, pretty, secretive, something far away, full of love, etc. It isn't important really that it's Italy (Italian), but that they have begun searching.


Ciao,

I didn't know there was such a book. Thanks for mentioning it. My church uses DVDs pretty often and I'll see if they have this book.

I do think this would be a good movie for a church class.
