When sophomore Ryan Favour walked out of “Jerusalem”, a movie at the St. Paul Omnitheater, he found the way Christianity, Judaism and Islam intersect to be fascinating.

According to Kevin McCrea, a Science Museum employee, the movie impacts the community because it showcases different perspectives of Jerusalem and exposes people to a unique place or city they would not normally see.

“They have different types of people share their thoughts of the same place. Plus, it broadens your horizons to a different place, other than what you usually see on a normal day,” McCrea said.

According to Favour, the movie was about Jerusalem’s cultural history and connects to Park students because of the religious history present.

“There are many aspects that connect the students to this movie. It relates to people at Park because it is an important city for the three major religions; Christianity, Islam and Judaism, which are all large student populations at our school,” Favour said.

Favour said the movie touches heavily on the relationships between different people existing in the holy city.

“It talks about how the history of Jerusalem is very complex, and its people are very diverse,” Favour said.

According to Favour, the movie discusses how people of different religions can coexist and are connected by Jerusalem.

“This connects to Park, since there are people of different religions who are coexisting in our school,” Favour said

According to McCrea, the movie is a good learning opportunity.

“This is a great way for students to learn more about the history of a city that’s currently being fought over,” McCrea said.

Favour said he thinks it is important to see “Jerusalem” because it has so much important history.

“I just thought it was interesting because there is so much happening and so much importance in such a small place,” Favour said.

“Jerusalem” will be showing through Labor Day at the Omnitheater. Showtimes and ticket prices can be found on the Science Museum’s website.
