Terrence Malick’s gorgeous new movie, A Hidden Life, is
about Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer who was
martyred for refusing to swear loyalty to Hitler. James Majewski
joins Thomas to debate the movie. He reads excerpts from Bl.
Franz’s letters and jail writings, to see how effectively Malick’s
portrayal lives as much as the real-life saint. The letters of Franz and
his spouse Franziska their deep devotional life, and testify to how
a lot Franz’s heroism owed to the sacraments and the assist of some
good monks who we don’t see within the movie.
