Stigmata

Stigmata The Signs of the Stigmata Eerie, realistic, and mind-boggling are the words that I think describe the movie, Stigmata. When I sat down this weekend to watch the movie, I wasn’t sure what I was in for. My friend told me it was a scary movie so I got my boyfriend to sit down with me as the movie began. (Extra Bonus cuddle time.) By the time the movie was over, I was completely intrigued with the whole notion of the stigmata, the Gospel of Thomas, and what the other religious books might be. The first scene that caught my attention was when the statue of Mary had blood running down it. I have learned of such phenomenon occurring from my religion classes in high school, but never seen one reenacted. The visual had a much greater impact on me then the readings in high school. (As the say a picture is worth a thousand words.) This first scene got me really intrigued in the movie. When Frankie, the main character, went into ‘fits’ while she received the signs of the stigmata also caught my attention.
