There Be Dragons: My #36 Favorite Movie of 2011





There Be Dragons is one of the more inspiring movies of 2011 since it's about the life of Saint Josemaria Escriva.  Although it covers only a small part of his life, I think it was when his life was at its most dangerous phase, mainly because of Spain's anti-clergical stance.  There are some shocking scenes here, like when they kill priest.  It was directed by Roland Joffe who did the extraordinary The Killing Fields so it plows the same historical vein.
