As we have gone through the semester and viewed several films, the theme from Groundhog Day keeps coming to my mind. This is the idea of the separation of the Sacred and the Profane. Of course this is a very broad idea and topic so it can be applicable to most films or real life occurrences. However, I have wondered, it seems that in most causes the sacred and profane and solidly divided, they are black and white the separation of good and evil. But is this always the case? People can do good things (sacred) for all the wrong reasons (profane). In addition, someone could have a good heart and be forced to do something terrible to save another, or a small evil to help the greater good? These areas seem more gray than black and white when it comes to the sacred and the profane. Can the sacred and profane become mixed or gray? Or is this not possible?
