Doesn’t look ‘fallen’ to me! 😉

Maybe Fallen doesn’t mean ‘corrupted’, but just ‘descended’…! 

Is all that glitters always not-gold??

“Art for art’s sake” – what does ethics have to do with aesthetics? The answer comes from metaphysics!

What does the background contribute in this image?

What great wisdom from a child!

Childhood needs to be prolonged by rescuing it from early onset adolescence. This culture is fucking up the future in a hurry!

Children’s Day is primarily for the parents/elders!

A decent & stylish action movie

There is some deep shit even here! What is “the management”, “continental
“, “house rules”, “contract”, etc.?? Even assassins/mafia have a moral code, they must, in order to survive.

Sorrow can very quickly turn into rage, if provoked in the right direction & degree.

Notice – this is what made this movie worth watching for me – how Wick actually ‘stabs himself’ during the final fight with the villain! He wants to end his life after this last war, because he has nothing left to live for.
He intends to die bleeding, as he watches the video of his wife, but his steel will doesn’t allow his body to just give up and succumb, so……….

The spiritual man is the one who can turn into a demon if necessary, and whose training has made him so tough that suicide becomes impossible.

Wick-ed 😉

Even the boogeyman needs a friend. Who was Jesus’ Marcus? Peter or Judas?

“It’s personal (this time)” – isn’t it always?!

Review

Trailer

WOW! I loved this movie even more than “Captain Fantastic”. Watched it in the cinema.
The blend of visual effects, plot, dialogue, action, characters and spirituality/philosophy was just perfect. The 3D was superb too. It never became boring or dragging at any point.

East meets West

I am a doctor and I am strange (medical –> spiritual). So……!?

Christian theology:
Agamotto – Christ
Ancient One, Strange, Mordo, etc. – the Church
Dormammu/dark dimension – Father GOD
Kaecilius – Lucifer/Satan
The bargain – the Cross/atonement
Kamar-Taj/Sanctum – churches
Guardians – clergy/theologians/ministers

The Garden of Eden, the temptation & the Fall

Compare with “The Matrix”, “Inception” & “Tron: Legacy”

Immensely enjoyable AND deeply edifying!

“Forget everything you think you know”
“There are other ways to save lives”
Expand your mind –> change your world

Breaking the rules in order to keep the Law.
Bending nature without breaking it.

Review & Trailer

It’s preachy, but still immensely enjoyable!

The hero carries the entire story on his shoulders.

Maybe education should function like a Christian monastery which trains people and then sends them into the world as missionaries.

I suspect that the wife must have strongly disagreed with his vision whenever she was in the depressive pole of her psychosis, and highly praise him when in mania…

The joyous funeral is, according to me, (one of) the most crucial part(s) of the movie.

Should I check out Noam Chomsky a little more in depth? I had seen the documentary video “The Manufacture of Consent”

In the end, the Captain does pass the test given for him by his wife/kids – he accepts his fallibility and imperfection both in character and knowledge!

Compare with the movie “Partisan” – the dark side of isolationism!

For the church today, what does it mean to be “in the world, but not of it”? Is it possible or preferable to be outside the system while still living within mainstream society?

City on a hill
Vs.
Salt of the earth

So, what is “the real world”?

So, Judas is Jesus’ (best) friend after all!
