So, I had picked up a movie on St. Francis, and had good intentions of watching it on or near his feastday (Oct. 4th), but unfortunately, it didn't happen. I just got around to it this weekend (Sat & Sun).
What a great movie! I watched St. Francis by Michele Soavi (Italian movie with english subtitles). I think it's pretty realistic account of his life - and thankfully one that doesn't portray him as a ridiculous tree-hugging lunatic (not that three-hugging is bad...) but hopefully you know what I mean...
Also, St. Francis' character reminds me so much of a few friends of mine which is weird! You'll have to ask me which two!
