I saw it in New York in the 90s and was so blown away. I never did hear the Terry Gross interview and that's such a great quote. And Emma Thompson as the ANGEL--that was the PBS version, yes?--was also stunning. You help me make so many amazing connections, all the time, gal. Thank you so much.Natalia Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503578469055410701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449645734341845460.post-809490602811536722012-07-02T08:17:30.836-07:002012-07-02T08:17:30.836-07:00here is another bit you might like, from this sour...here is another bit you might like, from this source:<br />http://www.bluecoupe.com/DVD/angelsinamerica.html<br />"As Prior deals with the disease, he is visited by an Angel, played by Emma Thompson, and this visitation sends him into a spiritual tailspin that brings him face-to-face with God, faith, reality and his future."Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801858119721442559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449645734341845460.post-19935075264116338692012-07-02T08:14:54.573-07:002012-07-02T08:14:54.573-07:00When I read this I flashed on Tony Kuchner's &...When I read this I flashed on Tony Kuchner's "Angels in America"- there are so many loose metaphors between this story and his. It's a story about people who are fighting timeless battles. In his play he has created his own theology, which includes the Angels of America. This is from an interview Terry Gross did with him:<br />"Mr. KUSHNER: I mean, the angel is an aggregate entity. She's not just one<br />being; she's many beings in one. And one of her manifestations is a collection<br />of beings called--from the Cabala, they're called the Daughters of Light. And<br />there are four of them there: Fluor, Phosphor, Candle and Lumen. They each have<br />a color assigned to them. And so when she speaks, she articulates for each of<br />these four immensely powerful beings. They all assemble into one being, the<br />continental principality of America. When Prior arrives in heaven, there are<br />seven of these principalities; each one is sort of the gathered energy of the<br />entire sort of spirit matter and soul matter of all the people who live in each<br />of the--I sound like a complete crazy person when I talk about it."<br />I think he's talking about the spirit of the whole world, some of which is visiting you in so many forms.<br />xoSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801858119721442559noreply@blogger.com
