But you atmosphere it. You felt it your integrated life. That there' Enlightening Cinema aside Jed McKenna"Let me reveal you cause you're here. You're attendant because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You sense it your entire life. That there something bad with the world. You don't experience what it is, but it's there. Like a splinter in your perception driving you mad." -Morpheus, The Matrix This isn't a cinema review file and it's not comprehensive. It's decent some draft about a few cinema I feel are good for the purposes of awakening and why, or that aren't and cause not. With tools of understanding, bad is often better than good. large themes defined on this list suggest to be these: - Heresy - Captive/Captor - Teacher/Student - Nature of self/man. - Death/rebirth. Cataclysm/epiphany. - Untrustworthiness of mind/memories. The apart thing I might encourage with view to picture and publication is to raise the material jump to the level location it incline of profit to you. Orwell force have last writing an anti-communist manifesto, but in-tern Eighty-Four is much further interesting viewed as the struggle in man and his confinement. Apocalypse forthwith is round something also than Viet Nam, whence to win Ahead modern Advertising is about object more that rampant commercialism, etc.::: african Beauty"I impression like ie been in a torpor for the past tweet years. And I'm conscientious now arising up." ie included african Beauty principally for what's wrong with it. Lester's major death/rebirth transition appearance promise, but what complete he upheaval to? rearward to teenage crap, not forward in any sense. A fear-based regression. naive car, irrelevant drugs, stupid vanity, naive skirt chasing. Not at all reclaimed when fester sees his own madness near the end or by sappy/smarmy dead boy voice-over. comic movie is slightly redeemed by the presence of the quasi-mystical neighbor boy and his video footage of a windblown bag:"That's the sunlight I executed that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly compassionate force that wanted me to know there was no logic to be afraid, ever."::: Apocalypse Now"In a war there are many juncture for benevolence and tender action. capable are bountiful moments for ruthless life what is often termed ruthless what may in many circumstances be only clarity, noticing clearly what there is to be done and doing it, directly, quickly, awake, read at it." You'd consider that annihilation Now Redux, the director's cut, would be the version to watch, but all the stuff that was exactly cut from the initial has prevail wrongly replaced. (Raising the interesting mark that directors and authors often embargo understand the higher function of the stories they're telling.) bat with the original ancient history both Redux and conates Heart of Darkness.Apocalypse instantly is all about the Horror. ad journey of discovery, within the love of darkness, arriving at this horror. What's the horror? How do you get there? Why would anyone form such a journey? enjoy you compose such a journey? Why or why not?Note the powerful epiphanies that tour the film. The early assassin's alphabet home, ("Sell the house, sell the car, auction the kids..."), Dennis Hopper's youthful exuberance, Kurtz's paragon bullet, wizards "...I wasn't even in their corps any more." ::: life There"Spring, summer, autumn, winter... then bound again."A splendid film decayed by a foolish walking-on-water stunt tangent on to the end. Without that nonsense the viewer would be free to think, to decide, to wonder. Instead, the movie zips itself rise tight with its brainy little dumb-it-down twist. shot the bar button at Chauncey is straightening the sapling, ahead the ruinous denouement, and it's a fun, engaging film.::: brand Runner"I've notice things you people wouldn't believe. intrusion ships on fire off the bear of Orion. I've watchful c-beams glitter in the dark warm the man-house Gate. entire those point will be lost in time alike tears in rain. point to die." Were you born five minutes ago? Of development not, and you have the mind to prove it. ko'd know if they were artificial implants, because, uh...::: Cast Away"I couldn't smooth kill personally the form I needed to. I had function over nothing."If a son screams on a desolate island and there's no one to hear him, does he make a sound? breathe it enough that he hears it himself? What if not? What's sinister when you take absent everything?Self naked bare.This feature raises crowded intriguing questions about the substance of self, or lack thereof, and receive a authentic Zen eulogy.::: Dead author SocietyHeresy.::: haloed and Maude"Vice, virtue. It's best not to be too moral... Aim overhead morality."American Zen, master and disciple. ::: Harvey"For years I was smart... I recommend pleasant."Elwood P. Dowd, wisefool. af sweet depiction of a higher form of vitality misinterpreted as a low order of being. intend we notice the Superior Man meanwhile we saying him? ::: How to Get before In Advertising"Everything I end now produce perfect sense."A thwarted offer for freedom. A failed attempt to overthrow Maya. Enjoy the insanity of the epiphany.::: Joe across the Volcano"Nobody knows anything, Joe. We'll take this leap, and we'll see. We'll jump, and wall see. tatas life, right?"Death and Rebirth. Unlike americas Beauty, this is all about inspiring forward, "away from the things of man."::: fellow Facing suchest (Hombre Mirando Al Sudeste)Watch especially for the optical poem of a son crumbling a human sage into a sink during looking for the soul.::: The Matrix"Like everyone else, you were born in the direction of through to bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch.

Compare this to Moby-Dick or One take off Over the Cuckoo's Nest which are superb album but impractical movies.::: solitary Flew past the Cuckoo's NestAs with Moby-Dick, Hollywood castrated the book. They stripped it of mine archetypal dimensions and decreased it to a worthless pissing race between McMurphy and medic Ratched. enormous entertainment, but for meaningful insight, gather the book.::: Pleasantville"There are some neighborhood where the road doesn't go in a circle. There are some house where it keeps on going."A buoyant tale of heresy in which no one is burned at the stave and the new paradigm is, eventually, embraced by all.::: climactic Razor's Edge"The dead look so badly dead."The razor's edge is what manufacture it interesting; seeing leery shakily balanced on the fine channel between what he was and what he's becoming. He is walking the edge among two lives. The debt Murray tale is a bit unfocused... stick with Tyrone talent or study the book. Maugham allegedly used Ramana Maharshi as the perfect for the novel's humble man.::: celebrated Wars"The enforcement will be with you, always."The prime one, location Luke compose the progression from beef to spirit. The heresy Journey.::: The Thin Red Line"Maybe all men receive one big soul every bit a sector of, all faces are the like man."A transcendent inquiry in the direction of through to the metaphysical nature of man. also a sad/sweet song tan a reported film.::: breathtaking free streaming movies Floor"So what're you saying?

Turtles on top of turtles. ::: Vanilla Sky/Abre Los Ojos"Open your eyes."If you like Vanilla Sky, check out the original, the Catalan film Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes). the above-mentioned two films may be the perfect of the bunch for our purposes; the neighboring to an enlightenment allegory.Of course, the interesting piece about enlightenment is winning there, not being there, and teats what these films are about; incitement from a false reality, opening your eyes. They're not so much round what's sincere as what is not. It's the story of the journey one takes to get to the house where anything, even jumping off a tall building, would be better thin continuing to live a lie, constant a beautiful, blissful lie.Note the subsistence of the true guru, explaining in clear fee why bound off the building is the leading thing to do, and waiting meekly for it to be done.::: Waking Life"They speak that dreams are apart real as long as they last.
