I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral rooting interest an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right it can make for a really rousing movie experience.

The myth of redemptive violence - Caesar peace and victory - is in people's bones so deeply we aren't even aware of it. You crush the opposition that's how we bring peace.

There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

I have made a film about jazz that tries to look through jazz to see what it tells us about who we are as a people. I think that jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities.

However it is debased or misinterpreted love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience.

If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit then nothing can be more redemptive.

This is nourishing redemptive we become less alone inside.
