In “Fateless,” prisoners at Buchenwald line up in rows and are forced to stand in the cold without moving for hours. As some drop from exhaustion and others find the courage and strength to keep going, we hear the beautiful voice of Lisa Gerrard singing Ennio Morricone’s song “Return to Life.” in a moment that reaffirms the beauty that is everywhere and in all circumstances.
In the 1951 version of “Scrooge” (A Christmas Carol), a transformed Ebeneezer Scrooge (Alstair Sim) pays a surprise visit at Christmas to his nephew after ignoring him and his family for many years. As the folk song “Barbara Allen” is played in the background, we feel the spirit of redemption and forgiveness and the joy of Christmas.
