This is a reason why I really enjoy the Church's Bible videos. I'm assuming they are much more quiet than the real life events. But its intentional, and allows us to feel the spiritual message conveyed by the book. Current film tastes push for that "real/gritty" factor, but I'm not sure it works when telling spiritual messages. They need to drop the grit and just get real to the purpose of the book.
The following video is of Peter and John healing a crippled man outside the temple. But the focus is ultimately not on the healing, but the quiet moments after the healing as the man realizes what his new legs can do.

I remember when the Passion of the Christ came out. That movie reminds me of what you are talking about. Hollywood wants to focus on the brutality and misses the mark in terms of spirituality. It seems as though our society has lost its ability to feel as you have said.
Nice.
"and he hath spoken unto you in a still small voice, but ye were past feeling, that ye could not feel his words."
I got an Esther video, up front, and failed to locate the Peter video. Is it the biblevideos.org version?
Wonder how that happened. Thanks for pointing it out.
Sure. I'm here to help.
