I watch lots of Movies & Series mainly to learn. The thing which I can say I learned is
Various ways of BEING.
The following are some Insightful Captures (think of a electric bulb suddenly glowing
) from various movies that stick in mind and which changed my way of seeing things and being.
I provide it in dialogue form (imaging A & B talking):
From the movie 'Grace is Gone':
Code:
B:
I mean, do you agree with him about everything?
You shouldn't.
A:
Why not?
B:
Because it's important that people have their own views based on an understanding of facts.
But it's also important not to trust the facts because most of them are lies.
A:
I don't understand.
B:
Well, it basically comes down to a...
gut thing.
..pause..
B:
You just have to be open to allowing for a truth which differs from your own opinions,
or else you'll never actually see the truth at all.
From 'Into the Wild':
Code:
A:
I'm gonna miss you when you go.
B:
I'll miss you, too, Ron.But you're wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from human relationships.God's placed it all around us.It's in everything.
It's in anything we can experience.
People just need to change the way they look at those things.
A:
Yeah, I'm gonna take stock of that.
But I wanted to tell you something.
..pause..
From the bits and pieces I put together, you know, from what you told me about your family, your mother and your dad.And I know you've got your problems with the church, too.
But there's some kind of bigger thing we can all appreciate, and it sounds like
you don't mind calling it God.
But when you forgive, you love.
And when you love,
God's light shines on you.
From movie 'Platoon':
at the end there is a dialogue:
"
Code:
Sergeant O'Neill!
- How are you doing? - Just fine, sir.
That's good, cos you got second platoon.
Yes, sir.
- Ready? - You bet.
I think now, looking back,we did not fight the enemy,
we fought ourselves, and the enemy... was in us.
The war is over for me now,but it will always be there,
for the rest ofmy days,as I'm sure Elias will be,
fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called possession ofmy soul.
There are times since...
I've felt like the child born ofthose two fathers.
But be that as it may, those ofus who did make it...
have an obligation to build again,
to teach to others what we know,
and to try with what's left ofour lives...
to find a goodness, and meaning, to this life.
"
From 'The Secret' ( not a movie, though):
Code:
You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it to be, you are here to create the world around you that you choose,while you allow the world as others choose it to be to exist also.
will be updating more later!
