“White God” movie review (4/5 – Hit!)

WOW! Just like “Amores Perros” – gut-wrenching…

 

This is Foxy, my Hagen (‘Body’):-)

I have a Lili too 😉

Music, the transcendent language!

Note the slaughterhouse and the cows too. It’s not just about dogs…
I have completely stopped killing & eating goats, cows and pigs for the past 1 year or so. I think everyone should.

How do we make cities more safe and decent without destroying the urban flora and fauna?

Also compare with the crying need for human adoption, and the dangers of neglect/abuse (E.g. Terrorism)…

Another analogy could be the psychoanalytic relationship between the rational and the unconscious mind.

Why this title?? Maybe a reference to racism and the obsession with being ‘pure-bred’ (the answer is found in the review link)

“Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief” review (3.5/5)

LRH ~ Donald Trump!?
Rural white working class America ~ Church of Scientology

Compare with the movie “The Master” – check out the unforgettable & hyper-real Philip Seymour Hoffman!

Check out the New Yorker article on Paul Haggis Vs. Church of Scientology

John Travolta & Tom Cruise – isn’t it better to be real-life heroes than reel-life celebrities?

Compare with my relationship with the Christian church
What are the cultic qualities of the Spiritual Formation Group that I lead?

Cults & apostates – “To believe is human, to doubt divine”, “The fidelity of betrayal” – Peter Rollins

Look also at my previous blog post on price of certainty…

Check out the double meaning of the title!

Pay special attention to the special terminology and compare with the Christian theological/ecclesiastical glossary

How the experts & the elite got it DEAD WRONG!

(Referred by Solan Chelliah)

What an apocalyptic event!
An immense amount of shocked head-scratching & sober/penitent introspection is due…
Truly the birth of a new order of things.

Is this the harbinger of a global wave of anti-establishment anger?

But would this guy really be good for the rural White working class people who voted for him?? I guess we just have to wait & see……

Fuck all the so-called projections & predictions from now on. Period.

Donald Trump, the next POTUS!

Somebody explain to me how & why this has happened…!

Was the economic factor the key?

When even the Republican party was not fully supportive of him, & the media was against him, how did he manage to overcome all these odds??

Isn’t this the guy responsible for redrawing the electoral college map? If so, doesn’t that make him a great leader & a true genius?!

Is this an awful tragedy? Wasn’t this that clown-villain who was the underdog & wild-card at the beginning of this election campaign?

Surprise demonitisation!

– The middle class (which I am a part of) will also suffer along with the super-rich crooks. But it might be a worthy cause! – This move deserves support across all party lines…?
– Sometimes the human shield used by criminals must be destroyed (as collateral damage), in view of the long-term & common social gains.

– Hmmm. . . Is this (the beginning of) Judgment Day?!

– Is India equally responsible, as Pakistan, for the pathetic plight of this state?
– Why not just have a referendum? But that can only be a first step toward a complex solution.
– Should a third party mediator be brought in to facilitate the dialogue process?
