Awhile back I posted a film clip featuring a wonderful wedding sermon. Today, I thought I’d post my favorite funeral sermon. This scene is from the movie Schizopolis, one of Soderbergh’s lesser known films. If you’re feeling a little left of your own mind, let me assure you the rest of the film is no closer to normal than this scene.
* By ‘Honest’ I might mean ‘cynical’ in which case I think we can dispense with the ‘Overly’ part of the title.

Right up my alley!

Now I want to see the rest of the movie!!!!
It’s a great movie.
Brilliant ! I’ve always thought it would be interesting to ‘hear’ peoples thoughts at times like that … or maybe not 🙂
Heh, …it fits the story well too. Later the same scene is replayed with a different sermon. It’s not as interesting, but it’s neat to see the story take on new variations as the main character changes his life, so to speak.
Met Soderbergh’s ex- wife a few years ago and I am sure she would agree…
Really? Very cool. Did you get to talk to her for long?
We attempted friendship for a few months, then she could not hold her weight…
