I found it interesting how this group chose to analyze a movie clip. It's a breath of fresh air from all the written texts we've been covering in class. That being said, I was not expecting to view a clip as emotional and serious as the YouTube clip, "I Am a Sinner." This clip really focused in on the question of religion. Is there a superior religion? Should the human race conform to one religion? In addition, the portion of the clip wherein the man was forced to admit he had "abandoned his child" was very realistic in that I, as the viewer, was hooked, and wanted him to scream this confession at the top of his lungs. This part was particularly suspense-building and eventually lead up to a major catharsis, followed by an unexpected reaction from the congregation. Their reaction was rather odd; I would have expected them to be rather silent and somber, rather, they were lively and jubilant. Definitely an obscure scene from "I Am a Sinner."
