Higher Ground

Corinne, the dangerous thinking daughter of Higher Ground

At the end of her movie Corinne Walker exits her church, never to return.  She is casting herself out.  For those who remain sitting in the pews, Corinne is making a choice of the street, the wilderness realm of dogs, over safety and righteousness.  Literally, from the way of perceiving constructed inside that church, Corinne is turning her back on an afterlife of heaven for the eternal burn of hell.  But we know, from watching her story of questing for answers to the why of her being, Corinne is choosing to live in this life, in the here and now.

Welcome.

Wecome. I am Annie Grosshans, your host here. This weblog consists of alternating posts: first a Movie Salon of suggestions of films to watch, followed by a Discourse Parlor of writing triggered by ideas in those films.
In the Pages below you'll find more movies and some theory that might inform your reading here.
