The Life You Save May Be Your Own

This film was made for a friends school project and didn't REALLY follow the real story that well.

Flannery Oconnor 1953

Like much of Flannery OConnors short fiction, The Life You Save May Be Your Own is set in the American South and contains characters whose most notable feature seems to be their ordinariness. Through imagery, dialogue, and moments of revelation, OConnor explores the themes of morality and religion, both frequent concerns in her work. The story evoked critical praise upon its publication in the Kenyon Review in the spring of 1953. Within the sparse, apparently simple plot of the story, OConnor constructs a world torn between renewal and emptiness, natural beauty and crass materialism, compassion and cruelty. In the end, OConnors protagonist must choose between these extremes and attempt to experience the grace of Gods love.
