a culture looks to Mary as an icon of an ancient world, distant and unreal. The female figure of the Virgin and seems contrary to the anti-modern women of today. Yet I am with you in the film where he tells the story of Mary from the Annunciation to the finding of Jesus in the Temple, the mother of Jesus emerges as a real woman and exemplary in their femininity.
Melissa P., writer, member of a vision of women and relationships with the opposite sex, very different from that proposed by the Catholic Church, on GQ wrote: "in this film (Maria) is the desire of women, the strength, integrity and above all the disconcerting modernity. (...) She is the great mother, a light of wisdom and hope well-planted in all of us and often we tend to ignore or obscure. If we follow that light, we're all Jesus, children of Mary. "
The movie I'm with you that will be released on DVD on April 17 with Famiglia Cristiana newsstands, and through video stores in St. Paul, was written by Nicoletta Micheli with Maeve Corbo and had as director Guido Chiesa. Guido and Nicoletta, come from a Marxist culture and agnostic that for decades has kept them away from the questions and raincoats and reflection that makes Christianity a religion constantly true and lively.
think, create and distribute a film about Mary, was an undertaking of great courage who challenged and non-believers and that changed their lives. Nicoletta Micheli told The optimism of his education took place nell'alveo "a renewed and heterodox Marxism" as "a genuine attempt to understand cultural phenomena in critical terms, to imagine a living knowledge and active, able to put the centered on the individual, first within the school. "
"But motherhood - has confessed to Nicole - was the crux for a new course. For me it was a decisive first detox from the shackles of ideology and now I can understand the scope of the Incarnation in the history nullifying thanks to my experience as a mother. "
On March 8 and feminine virtues of Mary, Micheli said: "I never loved this event. I could answer that Mary is the space of all freedom. Even as the Son. What we know it or not. "
Guido Chiesa said that before this film was openly uninterested, if not annoyed, by all the talk on the religious, particularly all mystical and spiritual aspects that I appeared to be irrational and neurotic fantasies. "
"E - added - when Nicole started to talk about the idea of \u200b\u200bthe film - which initially refused categorically - I was in a difficult moment: I had problems at work, mysterious medical ailments, a sense of dissatisfaction permanent. "
Then it happened that "in light of the route taken through the film and the figure of Mary, I began to understand how Christianity is not only faith and reason go hand in hand, but the answer to" so that ' is that it makes a human being free? "- which after all has always been a latent demand for all my films - could finally be made: the freedom of the human being is determined by its primary relationships, conditions of love and respect with which it was upheld on this ground, by the way, those who created it, it is related to the divine plan. "
Guido says that "those who have accepted God's plan - like Mary and Joseph - did not Superman or Einstein, but a free man." "It is in this perspective - said - that Christianity has revealed to me in all its strength and uniqueness, because it humiliates the reason, indeed enhances it through the person of Jesus, bringing it to penetrate not only what our brain can embrace, but the whole broad range of human experience. " According to the director of I'm with you Mary is "the new Eve, the one that turns the fate of humanity, through which God incarnates his own son who comes to reveal the true face of the Father's love."
On the role played by Joseph Guido Chiesa has a light and says: "The Gospel is extremely effective in painting the figure of a father who steps aside, which accepts the primacy of women on areas such as birth and puerperium. Joseph is a figure of immense modernity if you read in this perspective. "
For the director, "the earthly father, Joseph, is great because, by doing the will of God, becomes the guardian of the mother-child dyad, as in the Massacre of the Innocents, or saving to Mary as a possible stoning adulterous" .
about reactions, Church said that after this film, "many friends, without telling me openly, they look at me like I was crazy. Others do not ask me more than the word "but" as it may seem paradoxical, there is a lot of hopes raised by some meetings held along the path of the film. Important meetings, exciting, far from the tired ritual or institutional need. "
"in these reports is true, genuine, without ideological blinkers or statement of identity, I felt the pulse of the presence of Jesus among us. I perceive the same whenever I can dispose of the garments of the Father-Master, and accept the wonderful gift represented by my children. " "These reports - said Guido - that give me an awareness of how the healing of heart and mind will not ever depend on ourselves, but the encounter with the neighbor, the love of God that comes through the other . It is my hope that approximates the human to God. "
