Brother sun, sister moon-Lullaby-Donovan

While this serves as great metaphore, the real truth is based in evidence, and so much more satisfying. We can include art like this as metaphore, just as we do ancient Greek mythology.

Maravillosas escenas. Donde se vé larenunciación del Santo a la vida dulce del hogar y la resignación de esa Madre que comprendió que su Hijo había sido llamado a misiones mucho más grandes. Fidelidad a toda prueba de esa Esposa quien a pesar del exceso de autoridad paterna se queda en su lugar. Maravillosa película que nos hace reflexionar sobre el sentido de la Vida y sobre lo que se puede hacer para vivirla mejor. Muchas gracias por tan hermoso momento de Arte y de Fé profunda en el Creador!

Thank you, jfranklins, for the lovely interpretation!

this is the church, this is the steeple...

I'm surprised to see how many here miss the point of this scene. St Francis, though he loves his mother dearly is renouncing the world to follow Christ. The hand gesture as he leaves is telling his mother to seek God as the most important thing in life. How touching as he comes back years later in the family courtyard offering a blessing and speaking the Word of Christ to them.

And everyone who has left father or mother for My name's sake... Matthew 19:29

I love you, my mother. you were the first person who thought me to love and pray without closing my eyes and closing my hands. You told me before whenever i pray, i must open my eyes so that i could see others; and i should open my hand so that i could reach others. I love you nanang.

It is a scene that feels love to the son.

Mother might be able to do only a silence and the watch.

However, it might be love.

i am so glad you put this song on it is an ancient song!

[MARTINKUK1]

Beautiful! Valentina Cortese does a wonderful job as the mother. The Lullaby is so sweet and has that charming atmosphere. The scene Francesco tries to tell his mother "Start to pray" or "Don't talk to me because I'm praying" Difficult to interpret but Zeffirelli entailed a lot of symbols in this movie...

I also like the transfer from the moment the mother cares for him to the moment when he looks for shelter and noone seems to care...

Grazie!
