When someone enters my life carrying a wound I cannot see, will I become another person who judges their brokenness, or someone through whom they finally experience the healing presence of Christ?

In becoming adults, becoming successful and becoming connected to everything, what simple, childlike part of ourselves have we allowed to become disconnected from God, from others, and from life itself?

Saint Augustine famously wrote that our hearts are restless until they rest in God. Keenu’s restlessness gives that truth a human face. Sargodha is more than a location. Afsana is more than a memory. They represent that place inside us where love once said, “This is home.”

There was something strangely sad about seeing Spider-Man swinging beautifully through New York while Peter Parker has nobody waiting for him when he gets home.

Odysseus’ journey functions in much the same way. Like Israel, he has been delivered from an enemy but remains imprisoned by distrust, pride and fear. He condemns the gods while lamenting the consequences of his own choices.

From a Catholic lens, Twinless feels almost sacramental in places. Ordinary moments, sharing food, walking together, sitting in silence, become signs of deeper grace. Not magic solutions, but small revelations.

Monster is an absolute triumph of delicate storytelling. Scripted by the celebrated Japanese TV writer Yuji Sakamoto, the film took home the prestigious Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival.
