<\/iframe><\/p>\nI am delighted to share <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">another episode of the ReligionProf Podcast<\/a>, featuring as my special guests <a href=\"https:\/\/dove.org\/hosea-film-sets-out-to-show-gomers-story\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the team of filmmakers behind the new movie Hosea<\/a>: Producers Avril Z. Speaks and Suzanne Watson and writer\/director Ryan Daniel Dobson. The film explores how the story of Hosea and Gomer in the Bible might unfold in a modern-day setting, and told from the female protagonist\u2019s perspective. It is a powerful and provocative movie that you\u2019ll want to see, and once you\u2019ve done so (since the <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">podcast<\/a> contains spoilers) or if you need persuading to do so, definitely listen to our conversation for the perspectives of the creative team behind the movie and an academic in the field of biblical studies on the movie. There are spoilers in my post below, as also in the <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">podcast<\/a>, but you can read on safely until I begin to discuss the content.<\/p>\nOne of the delights in talking with the filmmakers was to discover that some of what I wondered they had also pondered, and that what I took away from the film was what they too hoped viewers would. Among the questions we discuss in the <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">podcast<\/a> are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why call the movie \u201cHosea\u201d when the male character who corresponds to him isn\u2019t the focus?<\/li>\n<li>What are the underlying reasons for the film\u2019s departures from biblical story? (The movie doesn\u2019t just stick to the story that is usually reconstructed behind the biblical Book of Hosea and merely transfer it to a modern setting. It allows the story to move in some very significantly different directions.\u00a0The movie is nonetheless about unconditional love and fidelity, even if in a radically different way and from a different perspective.)<\/li>\n<li>Any influence of biblical scholarship on movie? How could professors use the movie in teaching?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe movie impressed me inasmuch as there aren\u2019t really flat characters or\u00a0caricatures. All the characters are human beings with flaws and at least some redeeming or redeemable traits.\u00a0There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoseafilm.com\/aar\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">discussion guides for churches and educators<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoseafilm.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the film\u2019s website<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.filmindependent.org\/blog\/dear-producer-producer-avril-speaks-goes-in-front-of-the-camera\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Avril Speaks\u2019<\/a> last film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jinnfilm.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jinn<\/a> premiered at SXSW 2018 where it won the special jury award and that may also be of interest to you.<\/p>\nNow for an exploration of the details of the movie itself, including spoilers. The movie is set in\u00a0Oklahoma, and begins with the two main protagonists, Cate and Henry, as children. Cate is already a photographer, and the they seem to be one another\u2019s first love. Henry\u2019s parents are divorcing and so he will be moving away. After he is gone Cate\u2019s life carries on. We have already got the sense that she is neglected by her parents and that they squabble. At one point her father fails to show up to pick her up after school and another man claims that her father sent him. He rapes her, and it is from there that we fast forward to her as an adult 14 years later working as a prostitute. Henry returns, an architectural designer, whose latest project will be converting a church building into a restaurant. By keeping much of the original wood fixtures and things like that he will in one way be \u201csaving\u201d the church, but it will no longer be what it was. There\u2019s so much symbolism in that, and it resonates with the transformation of the Hosea story in so many ways that I\u2019ve only begun to reflect on and explore in my own mind. He reconnects with Cate and they marry, and have a daughter. Two years later, Cate still bears the scars both literally and metaphorically from her past experiences, having inflicted self-harm. Throughout, both as a prostitute and as a wife, Cate still practices photography and spends time at a gallery where she shows her photos to the director. She turns her pain into art. The aesthetic is a major element in the film\u2019s plot. Henry envisages the future restaurant having a signature barrel-aged cocktail associated with each room, a \u201cwhole sensory thing.\u201d Throughout the movie we regularly see statues of saints, primarily or exclusively of Mary I believe. These are not just or even primarily in places that have obvious religious significance. There is one on the dashboard of the rapist\u2019s car. There is one on the roadside where it probably marks the location of a fatal accident which is the scene of one of the film\u2019s most powerful moments. Ultimately Cate finds she cannot simply adjust to being the model wife that Henry\u2019s career calls for. This is not only because of the scars on her arms, nor because Henry\u2019s business partner is a former client of hers. The very notion of the alleged \u201cperfection\u201d of such model marriages is challenged precisely through the fact that the business partner and his wife are the kind of family that seems like such a model, and yet the husband frequenting prostitutes shows that the role-play of respectability hides all the dysfunction that exists and may be more visible elsewhere.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nAfter Cate finds her way back to her old pimp, looking for a place to stay while she figures things out, Henry asks the business partner to buy him out of their project, using the money to pay off the pimp and clear any debt he feels Cate owes him and might hold over her. In the meantime, Cate has slit\u00a0her wrists, and so Henry takes her to the hospital. When she awakes, she finds that he has left her a key in case he wants to come home, and money in case she doesn\u2019t. This shows greater respect for her autonomy than he had earlier, when Cate had rightly pointed out that his speaking of them being \u201cmeant to be,\u201d while pious sounding, is also manipulative. Cate doesn\u2019t return home right away, but goes to a counseling discussion group. At one point she sees Henry flickering lights in the house, the way he used to with mirrors when they were children. In a powerfully open-ended climax that reminds me of prophets and parables within the Bible, Cate talks to Henry on the steps, emphasizing that she has finally come to accept that there is good inside of her right now, as she is, and not just if she plays some expected societal role, either as prostitute or as wife and mother. Rather than holding up Henry as Hosea and ultimately a stand-in for God as one who inherently exemplifies unconditional love, Cate articulates what unconditional love has to mean, saying \u201cI can\u2019t go up there. You can love me down here.\u201d The film ends with the question of whether Henry is indeed capable of loving Cate as herself without forcing her to conform to a particular role or expectation. As such, it succeeds in offering a more powerful vision of human love that loves\u00a0no matter what the other person has done and genuinely wants what is best for them. In doing so, it offers a theological challenge to those systems of thought and images that are brought into lives and communities as though they do not reflect human perspectives and frailties, and then human beings are called to conform to them, and made to feel worthless and inadequate when our lives do not match the unrealistic image.<\/p>\nIn the <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">podcast<\/a> we discuss briefly how the film can be used in educational settings such as university classrooms focused on the Bible and film. The study guides on the website offer more resources not only for that purpose but also for churches and other communities. The discussion guides provide a great way to foster discussion not only about themes of love and redemption but the societal realities that are presented in the movie as part of characters\u2019 experiences: rape, human trafficking, self-harm, and substance abuse.<\/p>\nThis is an incredibly powerful movie, and I consider it a privilege to have seen it in advance of its release to the general public and to have had a chance to talk with the filmmakers about their vision. I hope that you\u2019ll see it, that you\u2019ll talk about it, and that you\u2019ll let it lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoseafilm.com\/aar\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">deep reflection and conversation<\/a> about some of the most profound matters related to our identities and relationships with one another as human beings. And I hope that listening to <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the podcast and my conversation with the creative team behind the film<\/a>, whether you listen before seeing the movie or after, will enhance what you get from the experience!<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/religionprof\/embed\/episodes\/ReligionProf-Podcast-with-the-Hosea-Filmmakers-ek3vrb\" width=\"400px\" height=\"102px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I am delighted to share another episode of the ReligionProf Podcast, featuring as my special guests the team of filmmakers behind the new movie Hosea: Producers Avril Z.
