Probably a good idea for any news item remotely involving the Balkans. The comments are depressingly predictable. |

Good to read it. I've always liked Tom Hanks (especially because Forrest Gump), even when I didn't know he's an Orthodox, and now I like him even more. I think you have some courage to say something like that in the Hollywood's world.

When is Tom Hanks going to become the Orthodox Mel Gibson and make a movie about Jesus based on Orthodox beliefs?

Yeah, but Castaway was a profound allegory about the state of the soul outside communion with God, and it's eventual redemption in finding God through suffering and perseverance.

Lt. Dan: Gump, Have you found Jesus?
Forrest Gump: I didn’t know I was suppose to be looking for him, sir.
When you've found Jesus, you've got to stand up for justice and for the truth. I like Tom!
