Well, what can I say??!!
Open your eyes wide open, let your jaw drop down,
And just ogle……….
Eerie and awesome ambience, created by the play of light, shadow, perspective and color.

Theology and Contemporary Critical Theory

“Theory For Religious Studies” is a must read. But this one is more focused & deep.
I didn’t get a lot of what is being said, but it nonetheless stimulated & stretched me. Well worth reading fully!
Some writers need to be paraphrased & explained twice or thrice before they can be understood by the common man……!
E.g. Foucault >> Ward >> Joseph >> others
Today, the boundaries between theology, religious studies & philosophy have completely broken down, & that’s a very good thing. What an exciting time to be alive!

Beautifying by beholding!
Why is a painting more beautiful than a photograph?
Which is more realistic and which is more romantic? Or is that a stupid question?

Take a break, have a picnic/retreat!
Sleep, Sabbath, vacation
Gaze, reflect, wonder
Soak in the atmosphere and carry it back within you

I am…… the pointing finger!
“When the wise man points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger.”
My job is to point (myself & others) to the great wisdom available, through the diverse sources all around & within us.
I’m preparing for a seminar on death!
Don’t miss watching the extras in the Six Feet Under torrent download!
Hmmm…. who’s your favorite character? Mine is Nate. Father Fisher is a close contender.
It’s as much about family as it’s about anything else.
All the hot-button issues of life, like homosexuality, family dysfunction, grief, mid-life crisis, adultery, mental illness, religion, morality, etc. are handled better when seen in the severe and unsparing light of death, which brings a cruel simplicity to our common perplexities……
My ratings are +/- 0.5
Anger as virtue.
“Ideals are peaceful. History is violent.”
“Best job I ever had!” (a la “Hurt Locker”)
“Do what you’re here for!”
Another model movie on leadership/mentoring? Like “Captain & Commander”, “Saving Private Ryan”, “The Last Station”, etc.
How did the director of this movie also make shit like “Suicide Squad”?!
I was more like Norman, then like Swan, but now I have become more like Collier…… So, what’s next??
If I like a movie, I should read a review that trashes it, and vice versa!
First of all, I was late for the movie and missed the first half hour! So, I watched it a second time – the very next show. This roundabout way was a great experience of the mysterious (& circuitous) nature of time explored in the movie…
What happens when the temporal (Man) meets the eternal (GOD)?! BOTH are transformed forever……
Based on “Story of Your (Hanna’s) Life,” a Ted Chiang short story
Awesome!
Profound and mind-blowing
Watching it on a huge cinema screen definitely helped…
Great music too.
This director is truly versatile!
Compare (Amy Adams) with (Jodie Foster in) “Contact”. Also compare with “Interstellar”
Metalanguage and metacommunication
“In the beginning was the word……”
Are we ready yet to eat the fruit of knowledge that would give us control over time, space and gravity??
Revelation & apocalypse ~ encounter & metamorphosis
Ultimately, wasn’t it all about love, marriage and family?!
“Why are they here?”
Mystical experience/spirituality –> theology/language –> science/culture
