(PODCAST) Most Reluctant Convert Movie (Max McLean)

William OFlaherty All About Jack

Fellowship for Performing Arts (FPA) has produced its first movie (in conjunction with 1A Productions). Hear Max McLean talk with William O’Flaherty about the motion picture in this podcast interview. The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis, stars Max and is an adaption of his popular stage play. The Movie debuts in the US on November 3, 2021.

Max addresses the question of why only one night and when it will be shown in other places, as well as talking about the process of making the film in Oxford and how Norman Stone (the Director) helped make The Most Reluctant Convert a reality.

    1. Max is quoting (with a little minor editing) from an essay Lewis wrote later entitled THE WEIGHT OF GLORY.
      Again, while using words from Lewis, it is not exactly what he wrote; but around 95% of the words you will find in the essay.
      Max mostly quotes from the end of the essay, but then he ends the thought with something from an earlier part of the essay. For BOTH, I am sharing the EXACT words from Lewis, so it will include a few things not in the movie:

      “It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations-these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit-immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously-no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner-no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbour, he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ vere latitat-the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden.”

      “The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbour’s glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken.”

      Again, the above is NOT from the movie, but directly from the essay that everyone should read if they haven’t.

      FINALLY, I’ve done a podcast reflecting on this essay.
