    Outstanding Mini-Series

    I first saw Brides of Christ when A&E aired it 1991 and it remains the best mini series I have ever seen. Brides is a testament to the incredible amount of undiscovered acting talent that exist in Australia. The film has a bit of a left of center political slant but is still an outstanding production. To its credit Brides does a credible job explaining the turmoil in the Catholic Church that resulted from Vatican 2. This mini series should be shown throughout the Islamic world as there are many parallels. You must have this Mini Series. I bought the 3 tape VHS collection and just bought the DVD because the VHS have become worn out due to being watched over and over. I loan them out to everyone I know.

    Landmark Production

    This mini series was shown in the U.S. on the A&E Television network and it was landmark miniseries that correctly showed the turmoil effecting the catholic church after Vatican II. The story is a very Australian one in terms of how the changes going on in the church effected Catholics in Australia in the 1960s. This miniseries launched the careers of many young actors such as Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe. There is a huge amount of acting talent in Australia and they shine in this production. BOC was the performance of Brenda Flicker's career and is the one actress that stands out in the miniseries. The irony is almost half a century after Vatican II real reform seems to elude so much of the catholic church but it has reversed it's positions on so many issues since the 1960s.

    ten star series

    This is a beautiful miniseries that had us weeping many, many time. If you love this show, you will also love Ballykissangel, and An American Rhapsody.You'll see a very young Naomi Watts, the wonderful Brenda Fricker and a young Russel Crowe. I am a Catholic, so I know a lot about priests and nuns, but if you are a non-Catholic you will find this to be very revealing about the mores of the Catholic Church and life in a convent. Even my most stoic friend-an atheist -was sobbing during the last show. My wife and I cry easily, but this baby will make any sensitive soul reach for the Kleenex. I might add that another great movie for lovers of shows about religion is Babette's Feast.

    My favorite mini series of the 90's.

    This is my first on-line comment and this work is right for the effort. I originally read about the series because it popped up under Russell Crowe's work. The description intriqued me, but the quality of the characters and performers is what brings me to write. I grew up in the 60's and the issues, music and philosophical questions were especially poignant. My women friends and even my Mom have agreed that the work is excellent and definitely worth seeing.

    You don't have to be Catholic...

    Incredible account of the sweeping changes that occurred during the Vatican-inspired mini-revolution during the 1960s, focusing on one convent of nuns in Australia. I must admit, not being Christian myself, I was a little skeptical before seeing this series; as it happens, I was so hooked, I watched all six episodes back-to-back (I had it on video), and woke up tired the next morning!! Like the brilliant CHANGI a decade later, each episode revolves around one particular character; unlike CHANGI, each episode is primarily concerned with keeping the plot moving, rather than going back and looking at the character's past, although this comes into it. What we see is a group of women who, for whatever reason, have all chosen to live a celibate life following the teachings of Christ (from the Catholic viewpoint) and of the various religious philosophers of the past millenium. Like any group of people, there are, of course, differences: many of the older women are happy to let the church guide their decision processes, and accept whatever their superiors say. The more educated among the group tend to question the values of the church and, in the opinion of the seniors, threaten to undermine the very substance of what the religious is all about. It was an interesting time for the Catholic church: still regarded as one of the more stringent Christian sects, the western world was undergoing a major cultural revolution, as scientific developments, introductions to new cultures, and different ways of thinking were being encouraged by youth leaders. In an attempt to remain relevant, the Vatican, led by the Pope of the time, recognised that change was inevitable and thus tried to instigate it themselves. A wide number of issues are dealt with here: birth control, abortion, divorce, sex before marriage, interchurch marriages, etc...: many of these issues are, of course, distinct NON-issues among non-Catholics and non-Christians today - birth control, via pills, condoms and surgery, is seen as necessary and, indeed, healthy practice; 50% of marriages in the USA and Australia now end in divorce or separation; most people have sex before marriage. But to Catholics of the time these things were mortal sins, and led to eternal damnation (I can hear non-believers either chuckle or, indeed, gasp with horror, as I did, that all these people were and are wasting their lives, living in fear of something that wouldn't - couldn't ever happen...but it made sense to them, and that's the main thing, it gave their lives purpose...). Every single performance within this miniseries - even down to Russell Crowe's small role as a young man destined to become a conchie - is first-rate, and, when the 330-minute production came to an end, I felt like I had really gotten to know the characters - and indeed that I had seen longer movies with 80 minute runtimes! This is an absolutely top-quality miniseries, comparable with CHANGI, and everyone should see it. 9/10.

      Diane: For various reasons I did not keep a journal while I was in the convent, so I have to piece this one together from memory. The result is probably more balanced and forgiving than I knew how to be at the time, so I have decided to dedicate it to Saint Anselm, all of the philosophers, and a few other beginning with "A." I doubt if Sister Patti would have had much time for me leaving the convent. She used to say, "You can peel the skin off of an onion but what difference did it make? Inside of each layer was a smaller, shinier onion." So, here I am today, a smaller shinier onion, but still an onion. If this book shows anything it shows, at last, how I finally found out how to live the life I dreamed for myself as a little girl. Learned to accept that trying to become yourself needn't be selfish, and that the props in this play might just as easily be a pen and paper, as the habit and veil. And yet, when the time came to finally say goodbye, I have few words to describe the grief. Perhaps you just had to be there and feel the layers coming off.
