Time magazine's Richard Corliss also gave Damon a positive notice in his review: "Damon is terrific in the role-all-knowing, never overtly expressing a feeling. Indeed, so is everyone else in this intricate, understated but ultimately devastating account of how secrets, when they are left to fester, can become an illness, dangerous to those who keep them, more so to nations that base their policies on them". [18] In his review for The New York Observer, Andrew Sarris wrote, "Still, no previous American film has ventured into this still largely unknown territory with such authority and emotional detachment. For this reason alone, The Good Shepherd is must-see viewing". [19] USA Today gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "What makes the story work so powerfully is his focus on a multidimensional individual—Wilson—thereby creating a stirring personal tale about the inner workings of the clandestine government agency". [20] Entertainment Weekly gave the film a "B" rating and Lisa Schwarzbaum praised De Niro's direction and Damon's performance, noting the latter's maturation as an actor. [21] Forester also does a really good job of breaking up the various submarine confrontations, so that they all unfold in unique ways. Along the way, you learn a lot about antisubmarine warfare in the 1940s. Edward Jr. follows his father's footsteps in attending Yale and joining Skull and Bones. He then expresses interest in working for the CIA, to Edward's surprise. During an argument about this, Edward admits that he does not love Margaret and only married her because she became pregnant. Margaret begs him to protect their son, which he promises to do. In September 2012, it was announced that Showtime is developing the sequel as a television series, with Roth as executive producer and writer and De Niro directing the pilot. [30] As of July 2021, it has not come to fruition. In an October 2020 interview De Niro stated that he worked with Eric Roth on a sequel, but that it 'never happened'. However, if someone gave him the money to make a sequel, he would. [31] See also [ edit ]

What Comfort Can Christians Draw from God being Their Shepherd?

I still felt that two collections of Forester's WW2 short stories ("The Nightmare" and "The Man in the Yellow Raft") were superior to this book because they were more successfully character driven. The Man in the Yellow Raft also describes the exploits of a destroyer's crew, except this time in the Pacific theater of war.

This is one of my favorite WWII naval action novels, but it is an exhausting read, precisely because of how well I identify with the commander of the convoy, who goes without sleep for two or three days, and is so pressed with emergency after emergency that he hardly has time to go to the head.

The Good Shepherd was used as the basis for Tom Hank’s CGI extravaganza Greyhound. While entertaining, the movie is simply over-the-top in its depiction of German U-boats slugging it out on the surface with an American destroyer in broad daylight. This is the captain.” Long training and long-practiced self-control kept his voice even; no one could guess from that flat voice the excitement which boiled inside him, which could master him if he relaxed that self-control for an instant. “We’re running down a U-boat. Every man must be ready for instant action.”

I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11) is the fourth of seven “I am” declarations of Jesus recorded only in John’s Gospel. These “I am” proclamations point to His unique, divine identity and purpose. Immediately after declaring that He is “the door” in John 10:7, Jesus declares “I am the good shepherd.” He describes Himself as not only “the shepherd” but the “good shepherd.” What does this mean? Marcelo Zarvos and Bruce Fowler replace James Horner on The Good Shepherd". Los Angeles Times. October 31, 2006. Forester captures the tension of sea battles, the hard, cold logic of deciding when to chase, when to leave off, when to use the precious depth charges, when to go to the rescue of a sinking ship and when that would mean leaving many more unprotected. The invisible German U-boat commander is never seen, but one can easily imagine his crew suffering the same tension as Krause's — each one knows that the first to make a mistake or guess wrong dies. Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” t 34 * Jesus answered them, u “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?
