	PRINT Life is a Miracle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Life is a Miracle is a taut, relevant, and convincing essay that argues life must be revered, not reduced.
		The result is “to give up on life, to carry it beyond change and redemption, and to increase the proximity of despair.” If this conclusion seems unclear or illogical, you can usually depend on Berry to deliver a lucid explanation or example to support his argument.
		Life is a Miracle refreshes ideals—local adaptation, elegance, thrift—equally conducive to human and ecological health in Kentucky as in the rest of the world.

	Life Is a Miracle
		CANNES -- Emir Kusturica's "Life Is a Miracle" comes roaring at you with all the noisy exuberance and crazy frivolity of a Balkan festival.
		"Life" is the Serbian writer-director's attempt to put his feelings on film about the conflicts that tore apart the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
		Like the villagers, Kusturica refuses to yield to life's tragedies; he prefers to cling to its miracles.

	DVD Times - Life Is A Miracle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Emir Kusturica’s Life Is A Miracle is set in a small Bosnian town where the inhabitants — crazy, every last one of them — see their lives changed by the opening of a new railway line and the outbreak of the Bosnian war in 1992.
		Life Is A Miracle is released in the UK by Artificial Eye as a special 2-disc set.
		Life Is A Miracle has all the charm, invention and magnificently bizarre characterisation of A Very Long Engagement, but crucially with all the warmth, heart and humanism that Jeunet’s films lack.

	USCCB - Life is a Miracle! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Even before birth, human life is miraculous: the differentiation of cells, the development of organs with highly specialized functions, the maturing of the brain, the memory and the five senses.
		Life is a gift, ours to take care of – but not to throw away, and never to take from another.
		We should rededicate ourselves to upholding the sanctity of human life, and hold those elected to represent us to the same standard.

	Pilot Stories -10/3/2003 - Life is a miracle
		This year’s theme, “Life is a Miracle,” is a simple yet powerful reminder of an obvious truth.
		The more science reveals about the first stages of human life, the more we are transported in awe to a microuniverse filled with a meticulous order and perfection that speaks volumes about the One who created it and put it in motion.
		New human life is conceived when a male sexual cell — or sperm cell — with 23 chromosomes, unites with a female sexual cell — the egg cell— with the other 23 chromosomes and creates a new, unique DNA sequence.

	Life is a Miracle review - movie review of the Emir Kusturica film starring Slavko Stimac
		Constructed in three distinct parts, Life Is A Miracle tells a love story with the turmoil of the Balkans in 1992 in the background.
		For all this, the celebration of life, to which he invites the spectators, hostages brought by force to this deafening brass band of feelings, has a nauseating ideological stench.
		In Life Is a Miracle, he does not give to see the confrontations, tending towards a universal demonstration of the nonsense of war.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Life Is a Miracle
		Life Is a Miracle is Kusturica’s ninth film, his second about the war in the former Yugoslavia.
		Kusturica continues to explore life in turbulent times, historical misconceptions, revolutionary passion, and ideological blindness, accentuating one of the most neglected and least examined poetic motifs in the films of the Black Wave, the alienation of his characters from the world of Nature.
		Life Is a Miracle has made the film festival rounds and had some European release; no announcement at this time on when it will come to the pathology known as the United States..

	Love@Home --The Miracle of Life — and Death
		As hard an experience as it was for our kids, dealing with the disappointment of the stillborn goat kids, they had the joy of witnessing the miracle of the birth of the living "kids" to balance out the experience.
		The kind of opposition we face on the farm has been very manageable, so far, especially when compared to some that inner city children have to face, but it is opposition nonetheless.
		I hope that my children will grow up knowing what a miraculous and wonderful thing life is, that they will gain a respect for life and learn to grow from the opposition that they will face.

	Fragments From Floyd: Life is a Miracle
		Berry expresses his concerns over the terms of this discussion in a long essay called "Life is a Miracle".
		Berry argues that religion and art are not subject to the reductionist and materialistic assumptions of modern science, and cannot be contained within its boundaries or explained by its explanations.
		He says the aims of science have become hard to distinguish from those of industry and commerce, and he advocates a new Emancipation Proclamation to free life itself from enslavement by the corporations and their scientific underlings.

		But recently, the Lord has been reminding me of who it was that plucked me out of that quicksand and breathed life back into me and made me useful and worthwhile and desirable and full of purpose and joy.
		It's truly a miracle that my life is what it is today, because the formula of my life should never have worked out to make me into this seemingly normal, well-adjusted, successful adult woman.

		For this reason, Life Is a Miracle wears its title well.
		Certainly not any of the scenes with Sabaha (Natasa Solak), the adorable Muslim nurse whom Luka falls for even though he’s supposed to be holding her hostage.
		I’ve heard some hardcore Kusturica fans complain that Life Is a Miracle is a little too much like his 1998 hit Black Cat, White Cat.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts \| \| Life Is a Miracle
		Life is a Miracle (2004, Zivot Je Cudo), directed by Emil Kusturica
		Life Is a Miracle is the Romeo-and-Juliet tale of a Serb railwayman Luka (Slavko Stimac); he falls for Sabaha (Natasa Solak), a Muslim woman, who turns out to be a submissive fun-loving blonde babe, not averse to a topless roll in the hay.
		For those who remember the Bosnian war in terms of ethnic cleansing and mass graves, this romantic solution might look glib or naive - but as far as Kusturica is concerned, naivety is the prerogative of the international media in the form of a clueless and flak-jacketed American TV reporter.

	David Wright--Review of Wendell Berry's Life is a Miracle <link>
		Life Is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition, Wendell Berry (Counterpoint, 2000),
		To read Wendell Berry's work is to join a conversation with the land, in particular with the Kentucky landscape that has been both backdrop and foreground to his career as a poet, essayist, and novelist.
		Berry's Life is a Miracle extends this lifelong argument into territory both familiar and new to his readers.

	Miracle Of Life
		In the last 30 years a number of prominent scientists have attempted to calculate the odds that a free-living, single-celled organism, such as a bacterium, might result by the chance combining of pre-existent building blocks.
		If we were to wait, we would truly be waiting for a miracle.
		An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.

		With Life is a Miracle, production house Media Evangelism Ltd return to Hong Kong cinema screens with another tale based on the personal hardships and triumphs of real-life characters.
		Whereas the earlier shot-on-video production appeared to foremost preach to the converted, Life is a Miracle's ultimately upbeat theme and common concepts offer more interest beyond the evangelist moments.
		Production standards throughout Life is a Miracle are pleasing, helped by the use of 35 mm instead of digital video.

	BOOKS: 'LIFE IS A MIRACLE: An Essay Against Modern Superstition', by Wendell Berry - 7 April 2001
		He is, like most good poets, gifted with particular insights which seem almost to remind us of some forgotten truths rather than to introduce new ones.
		Wendell Berry's latest book, Life is a Miracle, ranges over a vast field - the use and misuse of technology, scientific reductionism, the value of small communities, the ethical use of natural resources, and the place of humans in the general scheme of things.
		Life is a Miracle covers a huge range - the environment, the modern university, knowledge and power, attitudes to death, tradition, the importance of a local sense of place, and so on.

		For a long time the originators and innovators have made extravagant use of freedom, and in the process have built up a large debt to responsibility, little of which has been paid, and for most of which there is not even a promissory note.
		The debt can be paid only by thought, work, deference, and affection given to the integrity of our ecological and cultural life.
		The condition which that integrity (or that one-time integrity) imposes on human work and human freedom is that everything we do has an effect or an influence.

		When the conflict erupts, Luka's life is turned inside out.
		Kusturica in fact came in for a lot of flak when Life is a Miracle was released in 2004, with many critics quick to question his contention that no one was really to blame for the Bosnian conflict and that the media was culpable of misreporting events to the detriment of the Serbs.
		He certainly goes out of his way to portray his fellow countrymen as peaceable rogues in this typical blend of dark provocation and absurdist realism.
