Η ταινία ήταν προτεινόμενη για υποψηφιότητα κάποιου βραβείου, αλλά δεν έγινε δεκτή λόγω της ευχής:"Κύριε Ιησού Χριστέ Υιέ του Θεού ελέησον με".

Υπάρχει κάποια πηγή για αυτή την πληροφορία;

Μια ενδιαφέρουσα ταινία είναι The monastery movie (Δανία).

Non Christians, go and baptized in Orthodox Church, but becouse of temptation with your family and friends if they are in diferrent faith, don't even tell them. But it's very important for your soul to baptize in Orthodox Church becouse it is only non changed apostolic church and best way for salvation of eternal soul! Please forgive me if i was a little too hard...

For those who do not understand the dialogue (i myself cannot, but i have seen the subtitles):

the girl wants to ask for blessing to abort her child. Before she even has the chance to tell the monk about it, he knows her problem and tells her he will never give her the blessing to kill the baby. He says the she would have a wonderful boy, and encourages her to carry the baby.

This is why I don't miss Russia. They do not know how to speak to people politely.

O conteúdo do filme é muito profundo, a mensagem é clara para aqueles que buscam a Amizade d'Aquele que é misericordioso. A humildade tráz a sabedoria para aqueles que buscam a paz consigo mesmo, com o próximo e com Deus. Já assisti várias vezes e a cada vez mais descubro o valor da intimidade com Deus através da Oração de Jesus. Este filme nos encoraja à viver o que O Senhor nos manda: Oração, amor ao próximo, e a ascese diária através do reconhecer-se pecador e voltar-se para Deus.

Este filme é profundamente marcado pela vida daqueles que desejam alcançar plenamente a Amizade de Deus. Embora reconhecendo-se pecadores, todos buscam a companhia d'Aquele que pode livrar o ser humano dos seus pecados.

Somente a humildade pode trazer a sabedoria aos que buscam a paz diante de Deus! Já assisti várias vezes este filme, e a cada vez descobri algo de diferente e profundo em seu conteúdo. Senhor Jesus Cristo, tem piedade de todos nós pecadores!
