Movement as the Core of Being: Watching Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups Through David Bentley Hart’s Theology

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart proposed a theology of beauty that places movement and act at the core of existence. Following Gregory of Nyssa, he applies the importance of beauty and desire as the moving power of being. Gregory&apos;s concepts of epektasis and perichoresis are applied to the theology of beauty that combines longing and movement as core features of reality and its perception by rational beings. In a short analysis of the role of epektasis and perichoresis in Knight of Cups (2015) by Terrence Malick the spiritual and theological applications of Hart&apos;s ideas to the film, phenomena are addressed. Knight of Cups is viewed as a setting of the experience of beauty and as a cinematic school of desire. Hart&apos;s ideas allow us to view the film as a space of continuous redefinition of desire and emphasize the vitality of movement for the being itself. Hence, the topics of beauty, desire, wonder, and suffering shape the lenses for theological analysis of Malick&apos;s cinematic work and allow us to see the theology of beauty as an applicable cinematic perspective which not only gives a tool for analysis but also invites viewer participation and co-creation of being in &quot;love, desire, curiosity&quot;.
