Films I like

Hi, MK Scarlett and JayMark.

I'll have to see "MATRIX" 2 & 3 again, has long wanted to do. The message you say that is part of the movie and not perceived is what draws my attention.

I recommend it if you can.

The material presented here has opened my eyes a lot so far and I am astonished at how many 'new messages' I can find in those movies. And there is always more and more.

The PTB, manipulation, lizards (yes), hyperdimensional nature of reality, free will vs causality, balance, STS/STO, machines/computers/AI, programming, open future (can't see further than a choise that hasen't been made), matter as light (blind Neo), recycling zone (where programs go when they 'die') etc etc etc.

The Wachaowski brothers were once interviewed about the movie and they anwsered in a very clever way if you ask me. They said that there are more symbols/messages in that trilogy that we could ever immagine. Said that every name, number, colors etc. have been chosen for a purpose. They finally said that it is up to us to see those signs, to interpret all of this and that they weren't going to reveal anything they have in mind.

Anyhow, great stuff!

Thanks for the movie recommendations Caballero reyes. I was wondering what yourself or others think of the movies directed by Clint Eastwood lately? do you find these too mainstream? just curious?

ie. Million dollar babies, Mystic River, Changeling.......
 
Hi, hallowed.

Clint Eastwood is a film director who knows how to develop a script, always with the right rythm and make interesting when another director could do boring, example: "One million dollar baby". I have seen almost all his films except "Gran torino" and "Changeling". "Space Cowboys" is excellent.
 
cheers,

THE ART OF NEGATIVE THINKING (2006) - Bard Breien

The Art of Negative Thinking is a burlesque drama about Geirr (35), who is wheelchair bound after a traffic accident. In an attempt to show everyone how miserable his life is, he has reached a dead end. Isolation, a weapon fixation, self-medication, and endless bitterness result in his girlfriend Ingvild (33) being at an utter loss. In a final desperate attempt to save their relationship, she invites the local positivity group to their home. Through a solution-focused method, this group sees opportunity in the blackest of holes. They have simply become one extremely positive group of people. With the threat of losing his girlfriend hanging over him, Geir reluctantly agrees to meet with them.

Group leader Tori (40) attacks Geirr with all her positive professionalism, and the group does its best to assist her. Still, it does not take long for Geirr to discover that everyone in this smiling gang is at least as miserable as he is: Lillemor (65) is a lonely, bitter divorcee from the nice side of town who has ended up in a tiny apartment; Asbjørn (50) is a speechless stroke patient full of pent-up aggression; and Marte (28), paralyzed from the neck down, smiles from ear to ear to hide how she really feels about her boyfriend Gard (38). Because, after all, he was the one who forgot to secure the climbing rope.

It's time for an intense day at Geirr and Ingvild's, where Geirr refuses to look at anything in a positive light. Eventually he manages to bring the positivity members over to his side; first by neutralizing the group's leader. Totally free from having to think positively, they struggle through a night of despondency, bizarre confrontations and uncomfortable truths, until morning breaks and they again see the light. The positivity group has learned the art of negative thinking.
HILLARIOUS MOVIE!!! :D :D :D

" WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? " (U.S.A.) 1962 Dir. Robert Aldrich.


Session 23 December 1994

: (L) What could D__ have done for or to or with S__ in the lifetime that is most heavily affecting this lifetime, to have resolved the issue then?

Q: (L) Does it have something to do with the roller blades D__ bought S__ Tuesday?
A: Now you are learning, so we will help. Now you see?! She needs the childhood she never had.

Q: (L) Why did she never have a childhood?
(D) Because she was sexually abused by her father she always felt that she had to be the grown-up; she had to be between her father and myself; she had to pull everything together. She always felt that responsibility and she... oh! I see! Thank you! I took her shopping. We went to the mall. She saw things that she didn’t get when she was a kid and I explained to her that now she wasn’t a kid and she couldn’t really enjoy those things but she could enjoy the things that would be more her age level. She got down and saw little doo dads that she always wanted.
(L) Well, get them for her. Can you?
(D) Yes!
(L) Is that the answer? Give her the childhood things?
A: Continue...

Q: (D) I’ll go down and buy her those things tomorrow.
A: Okay. Childhood is stepping stone to spiritual growth in each lifetime.

Q: (D) I want to thank you!
A: We are helping you with this because you simply must resolve this issue
before you can properly progress to important work, see?



In a decaying Hollywood mansion, Jane Hudson, a former child star, and her sister Blanche, a movie queen forced into retirement after a crippling accident, live in virtual isolation.

As a child, Baby Jane Hudson was the toast of vaudeville. As an adult, however, Baby Jane was overshadowed by her more talented sister, Blanche, who became a top movie star. Then, one night in the early '30s, came the accident, which crippled Blanche for life and which was blamed on a drunken, jealous Jane. Flash-forward to 1962: Jane (Bette Davis), decked out in garish chalk-white makeup, still lives with the invalid Blanche (Joan Crawford) in their decaying L.A. mansion. When Jane isn't tormenting the helpless Blanche by serving her dead rats for breakfast, she is plotting and planning her showbiz comeback. Convinced that her days are numbered if she remains in the house with her addlepated sister, Blanche desperately tries to get away, but all avenues of escape are cut off by the deranged Jane. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? sparked a trend toward casting venerable Hollywood female stars in such grotesque Grand Guignol melodramas as Lady in a Cage (1964) and Hush...Hush Sweet Charlotte (1965). In addition to revitalizing the careers of Davis and Crawford, whose real-life mutual animosity came through loud and clear, the film made a star of sorts of 24-year-old character actor Victor Buono, cast as a porcine mama's-boy musical composer. Lukas Heller's screenplay was based on the novel by Henry Farrell.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In 2003, the character of Baby Jane Hudson was ranked #44 on the American Film Institute's list of the 50 Best Villains of American Cinema.

"MULHOLLAND DRIVE" (2001) U.S.A Dir. David Lynch. The master of Alternate Realities. A MASTERPIECE.


The film tells the story of an aspiring actress named Betty Elms, newly arrived in Los Angeles, California who meets and befriends an amnesiac hiding in her aunt's apartment. The story includes several other seemingly unrelated vignettes that eventually connect in various ways, as well as some surreal scenes and images that relate to the cryptic narrative. A. O. Scott of The New York Times writes that while some might consider the plot an "offense against narrative order [...] the film is an intoxicating liberation from sense, with moments of feeling all the more powerful for seeming to emerge from the murky night world of the unconscious."[2]

Agree. A true masterpiece.
 
"DARK CITY" Dir. Alex Proyas (USA) 1998. This film was released before "MATRIX"

Dark City is a 1998 neo-noir science fiction film directed by Alex Proyas. It was adapted from a screenplay written by Proyas, David S. Goyer and Lem Dobbs.

A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.

Following its screening in wide release, the film was nominated for the Hugo and Saturn Awards. With the help of Roger Ebert and home screenings, the film has since become a cult classic. In the years since its original theatrical release, critical and scholarly reviews have reevaluated the significance of the film. A director's cut was released in 2008, restoring and preserving Proyas's original artistic vision for the film.
