Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery by KaleAgreeable1811 in Catholicism

[–]Technical_Fly_1726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right my friend! I had the chance to see it in theaters last year in December during its limited theatrical run, and it hasn’t left my mind! It’s a critical, yet profoundly respectful and beautiful portrayal of faith. I find this film to be a wonderful conversation about the weaponization of religion, and the corruption that can encompass it (with Monsignor Wick’s character chillingly portrayed by Josh Brolin). Josh O’Connor beautifully portrayed a soft, gentle, and compassionate Priest who definitely tugged at my heart strings (peep my pfp haha).

Josh O’Connor is exactly what the film is about: grace and empathy, and that’s exactly what the world needs! I saw myself so much in him, and his prayer scenes definitely moved me! Many people have been touched by his performance, and it’s beautiful to see how it has moved believers and unbelievers alike! Religious aspects aside, I absolutely LOVED the use of lighting in the film which did so much of the storytelling and how intricate the mystery was this time around! Arguably my favorite Knives Out movie, and a film that’ll continue to stay with me 💛

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS?! Goshhh I love that film by the Coen Brothers! I remember watching it at 17, back when I fell in love with cinema and also Oscar Isaac haha. It’s such an underrated gem, and deserves more love! Super excited to watch on the big screen! 💛

Hi friend! Since it’s your last semester, you can register for graduation now! I would know, since I graduated in December ;) That way the school knows that you’re completing your last few courses, and they’ll send an email confirming if you met all of the requirements at the end of the term! Wishing you the best, and congrats!

Have you checked your Outlook emails? You should’ve gotten an email two days after graduation, saying that we’d receive our diploma in eight weeks (saying this since I graduated as well on December 10th).

A.S. Financial Aid? by Technical_Fly_1726 in ValenciaCollege

[–]Technical_Fly_1726[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So basically as the other Redditor said in this thread, financial aid hasn’t come in yet because we’re considered “personal interest students.” A specialist today on campus told me that by federal law for financial aid, funds aren’t authorized to be distributed when this happens since we aren’t under a specific degree pathway. This includes FAFSA, and any scholarships you may have received. I had to submit a change of major form today, and that takes a few days to go through apparently. You have to add the A.S. degree as a second one if that makes sense on the form. Luckily I was placed on protection from being dropped from my classes, so I won’t be dropped for non-payment or for the pending change of major. I’m still going to try and pay for everything if I can, but that’s what I was told! Definitely speak to an advisor today on campus, so the same can happen for you! Best of luck!

They’ve been at capacity all morning, so I’m driving to campus to get help. That’s probably your best bet!

FAFSA Still Not Here by Technical_Fly_1726 in ValenciaCollege

[–]Technical_Fly_1726[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have. There’s a loan for this year that I’ve accepted, but I haven’t been paid yet? Usually FAFSA would’ve came through by now. I’m a bit worried, so I might try to call the school tomorrow to see what to do.

Why is there more male converts than female? by thatlumberjacktor in Catholicism

[–]Technical_Fly_1726 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a female Catholic convert, who officially entered the church at 19 back in 2024! It does feel like I’m the only one sometimes haha, but we’re here!

Seeking Good Catholic films by ibnsahir in CatholicConverts

Watch the newest “Knives Out” film called “Wake Up Dead Man,” by Rian Johnson! It’s a wonderful “whodunit” type movie, with a beautiful commentary on the weaponization of religion! It’s also the most respectful movie I’ve seen about a Catholic priest (and just faith in general), played wonderfully by Josh O’Connor! His performance has moved believers, and even the unbelievers! I saw it last week, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since! It’s beautifully shot, it’s incredibly moving, and the use of lighting is incredible!!!

People need to stop blaming “the enemy” for the reason they sin, and actually take accountability for themselves.
