Meet God at the Movies

Meet God at the Movies will discuss the 2017 Disney movie Coco when it meets at 6:30pm on Monday, October 21, via Zoom.

Coco is a strong reminder of the power of family, how bonds and connections with those who have died never end, and how traditions and stories keep loved ones alive.

Disney/Pixar summarizes the movie as follows, “Despite his family's baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.”

Saint Philip’s movie discussion group gathers every month via Zoom to explore a film and plumb it for theological content in the areas of creation (what is the world of the story like); what is broken/where is sin; is there a moment of turnaround, repentance; and where is redemption or the reign of God visible.

All are welcome to join the discussions—only once, sporadically, or on a regular basis—but registration is required. You can do that by emailing Mtr Mary at mary.trainor@stphilipstucson.org.

Coco can be watched on Hulu, Disney+, and Apple TV.
