¡El arzobispo Oscar Romero comenzó una revolución sin armas, sin ejército,
sin miedo. La valentía de un hombre puede
ser la más poderosa de todas las armas! Los
esbirros militares, apoyados por el general
Colin Powell y las administraciones de Reagan
y Bush, lo asesinaron a tiros públicamente
durante la celebración eucarística.
"Absorbing
biography
of El Salvador's
Archbishop
Oscar
Romero, chronicling his
transformation
from
passive cleric to eloquent
defender
of his
church and people. Thoughtfully
directed
with
a good script by John Sacret
Young
and a
quietly powerful performance
by Julia.
The initial
feature film financed
by officials
of the
United States Roman Catholic
Church." Haga clic aquí, y vea libros escritos por

Romero
made
the following appeal to the men
of the
armed
forces:
"Brothers,
you came
from our own people.
You are
killing
your own brothers. Any human
order
to kill
must be subordinate to the
law of
God,
which says, 'Thou shalt not kill'.
No soldier
is obliged
to obey an order contrary
to the
law of
God. No one has to obey an
immoral
law.
It is high time you obeyed your
consciences
rather
than sinful orders. The
church
cannot
remain silent before such an
abomination.
...In
the name of God, in the
name
of this
suffering people whose cry rises
to heaven
more
loudly each day, I implore
you,
I beg
you, I order you: stop the repression"
The day
following
this speech, Archbishop
Romero
was murdered.

Bluteau Epic look at a 17th-century Jesuit priest
who goes to Quebec to colonize the ``Indian''
tribes. Director Beresford travels much the
same territory as DANCES WITH WOLVES, but
paints a much bleaker picture. Beautifully
photographed (by Peter James) but graphically
violent, this flawed, fascinating film is
for demanding viewers.
