Puss in Boots: The Last Wish(2022)

This film is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Ecclesiastes 9:11-12","theme":"Death comes for all","description":"The Wolf's relentless pursuit of Puss embodies Qohelet's observation that time and chance happen to all: death is not a punishment for the wicked but the universal condition that gives life its urgency and its weight."}, {"reference":"Psalm 90:12","theme":"Numbering our days","description":"The film's central transformation is Puss learning to number his days — to take seriously the finitude of the life he has been given rather than squandering it. The Psalmist's prayer for a heart of wisdom is answered through the fear of the Wolf."}, {"reference":"Philippians 2:6-8","theme":"Choosing limitation over immortality","description":"Puss's refusal of the wish that would restore his nine lives — choosing mortal presence with friends over supernatural self-perpetuation — mirrors the kenotic choice of the one who did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited."}, {"reference":"Matthew 10:39","theme":"Losing life to find it","description":"Puss loses what he thought he wanted (immortality) in order to find what he actually needed (genuine relationship, presence, love). The one who clings to his life loses it; the one who surrenders it discovers a richer form of existence."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
