Song of Deliverance
I saw a video at church on Sunday called "light." The whole thing was symbolic, and felt very noir because it was filmed in black and white with heavey shadow and the dialogue was general. Yet there were characters who seemed to have real-life relationships: a husband and wife, and the husband's friend. The wife announced that when she first heard the story, she didn't understand it, but then, she did. Apparently hearing the story made her want to leave the darkness, and walk through this door to a place filled with light. Beyond the door, the film was shot in color, which made a very nice, clear distinction. The husband thought she was crazy, but she knew she just had to go. The part I wanted to get to is that she kept telling him she was hearing this music. "Don't you hear it?" She kept asking. He didn't. He just thought she was crazy, until he heard it for himself.

I really liked that video too. They stick their hands in the light and get flashes of revealed splendor, but they draw their hands back...they're afraid and confused. But I was so glad when the husband went in.
