Filme de 1930 de Fred Niblo e Lionel Barrymore
Redemption é um filme de drama pré-Código americano de 1930 dirigido por Fred Niblo, produzido e distribuído pela Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, e estrelado por John Gilbert. Esta produção é o primeiro filme falado de Gilbert, mas não foi lançado até meses após a estreia de His Glorious Night, seu segundo "talkie". Redemption é baseado na peça da Broadway de 1918 de mesmo título de Arthur Hopkins, que por sua vez baseou seu trabalho na peça The Living Corpse de Leo Tolstoy e encenada pela primeira vez em Moscou em 1911.
“REDEMPTION, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin, through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religion, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it.”
“Now, the redemption which we as yet await (continued Imlac), will be that of Kalki, who will come as a Silver Stallion: all evils and every sort of folly will perish at the coming of this Kalki: true righteousness will be restored, and the minds of men will be made as clear as crystal.”
“Feeling the unity of himself and the universe, the man who lives in spirit is no more a separate and self-centered individual but a vehicle of the universal spirit. … He throws himself on the world and lives for its redemption, possessed as he is with an unshakable sense of optimism and an unlimited faith in the powers of the soul.”
“O, if there be any kind of life most sad, and deepest in the scale of pity, it is the dry, cold impotence of one, who has honestly set to the work of his own self-redemption.”
“Christ is redemption only as He actually redeems and delivers our nature from sin. If He is not the law and spring of a new spirit of life, He is nothing. "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God," — as many, no more.”
“Look, therefore, which way we will, whether at the direct Scriptural statements of death as the penalty of sin, or at the agony of the cross as a means of rescue, or at the joy of the angels of God over a rescue; we see from either that it must be a work of infinite and eternal consequence — the work of redemption.”
