Signs
Comment
My young daughter was ill and pointed at the TV, "want this Daddy". Oh You want a film I asked and she replied yes. She is 21 months old and rarely watches the Box but guided me to a ToyStory short film called The Toy Story that Time Forgot. With her curled in my lap I watched enthralled at the story of humanity nested within a 20 min cartoon. When the Reptillian General suddenly understood his true nature and surrendered to his child, I almost stop breathing.
I am reminded of a Mel Gibson film called Signs. At a crucial point Mel turns to his on-stage brother and tells him that there are 2 groups of people: the first, who think they are alone in the world, would, when threatened with their existence, feel so much fear; the second, who know they are part of the world and could never be alone, see miracles. This group, believe that everything happens for a reason, that all life has purpose.
Ironically Mel is an ex-preacher who has lost his faith and affirms his position in Group One. But the profundity of these messages is lost on group one... and it is such a huge group, that being in group two is like being an outcast.
Just felt the need to share with other people in group two...<3
