About the book
"Discovering World Religions at 24 Frames per Second is unique in the area of religion and film studies because it isn't just a collection of essays - instead, it acts as a primer, providing the introductory student with the necessary background information on the various religions before looking at concepts, not through texts but through the cinematic medium. To keep the conversation fresh, most of the films used in the book were made within the last decade; several, most notably The Brave One, The Lookout, and Water, were made within the last few years. Furthermore, examples range from popular, mainstream fare, such as Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to lesser-known foreign films, such as The Wooden Man's Bride and The Great Yokai War. Several films with a "cult-like" following are also discussed, such as Fight Club, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Jacob's Ladder. This book is unique in that instead of drawing upon the Judeo-Christian tradition, it draws from Eastern traditions."--BOOK JACKET.
