Maybe being in the ICU beats watching Jessica Yu win an Oscar for making a movie about me. That sort of thinking appeals to my brooding, Irish Catholic side. But my Catholicism involves more than thoughts of Hell and guilt. We do this through the lives we lead and the art we create. Fox takes a broad view of art, and refuses to confine the term to music, literature and dance.
Conversation can be an art.
So can gardening, massage, cooking, telling jokes, raising children. Every constructive, enjoyable act can be seen as an effort that helps God make the universe more beautiful. That was certainly a part of it. But I could also see artists celebrating their art, celebrating their creativity as actors, directors, singers, and so forth. Hollywood has produced the most powerful art of this century.
