It is obvious that the film critics locally
here are not aware of this film's theme, based upon Lucid Dreaming.
While they say that the plot is scattered and hard to catch onto because
of fragmented scenes, this is precisely what dreams do. The normal
dreams have scattered plots, while Lucid Dreams have complete control,
but may change in an instant scene-wise. The character played by Tom
Cruise is actually frozen at an Institute, awaiting a cure to his
physical body's condition. While "under", he receives
scientifically induced Lucid Dreams to give him an almost real
alternative "dream" life, that is until there emerges a
problem when there are deaths and hints of murder to the internal
characters. This brings on a memory problem associated to the real past,
and the subsequent decision asked for by the Institute's "Technical
Help" division to continue on or to terminate the Lucid Dreaming.
The ending is very much indicative of a sequel.................It must
be noted that unless a person has actually experienced Lucid Dreaming,
they would be hard pressed to comment on such a film with validity.

Jet Li's movie "The One" has a theme of a "Multiverse" in which all people have themselves playing slightly different roles. This can be seen in the various universes he arrives at. One of these had Al Gore as President of the USA, an obvious alternative result to elections. He gains illegal access to travel between the universes to kill off his "others" and gain more power. In the real spiritual world, there is just the One universal conscious awareness, to which all life in matter embraces. The Jet Li character acts out from an ego point of reference, whereas real spiritual power is the reverse of this, to relinquish all form, and "kill" the mind ego, transcending to being, awareness, and bliss. All forms are illusory Dreams. |

The Mothman Prophecies is a movie based on true events in America. It is not the only country to have had sightings, the myth going across several apparently, but the theme is the same, as a precognitive warning of disaster, altered dream-like states in waking consciousness turning the recipients on edge, and physical abnormalities and burns to the eyes. In this movie, the warning is about a certain bridge collapsing and the lives which will be lost. Some hear and grasp the significance, avoiding death. "Wake up number 37". |
 Directed by Steven Spielberg, this sci-fi thriller depicts a future in which crimes are detected before they are committed. Tom Cruise stars as an officer in the Pre-Crimes division who is suddenly targeted as the suspect in a murder that has not happened – yet.

Minority Report is a movie about using
precognitives for crime control. Three people are kept in a bio-tank who
"see" murders before they occur, their brain waves transferred
to visual information data for the police to use.
In reality, such scenarios using recognised psychics have been used in past decades by Britain and America to try to warn of major disasters. Unfortunately, both institutes were disbanded because the results were not forthcoming and were unspecific to the psychics, so that no locations were pinpointed.

They are engulfed by a wild blizzard and encounter a lost and delirious stranger who brings something horrific into their midst – an alien presence that intends to control them. Reports of lights in the sky and a sighted unknown aircraft have also brought the military, led by Col. Abraham Curtiss (Morgan Freeman), an officer whose actions could result in the slaughter of innocent people. |
This movie keep you
spellbound. It's an odd mixture of Science Fiction and psychic ESP
telepathy, possession, inner psyche control, and more. The climax of the movie spells out the total underlying pre-cognitive aspects from the unknown alien which was in human form. "I Duditz" is the focus of the four friends who have used his gift in normal life for human concerns, while the former knew of the forthcoming final event which was to unfold to incur the real reason for the gift. The Duditz role was perfect for the alien, probably in the role (which was never spelled out but implied at the ending) of cosmic policeman? SARS disease in reality gives over to the infection in this movie of humans as hosts, to their deaths, giving vent to a "Gould" invader akin to SG-1 and Stargate. |
 Set in the fascinating native New Zealand culture of the Maori, this the contemporary story of the attempt by a 12-year-old, Pai (Castle-Hughes), to become a Whale Rider, a tribal distinction and position traditionally reserved for males only. Pai is the only only living child of the son of her tribe's chief, after her mother and brother die in a horrible accident, with her father fleeing New Zealand altogether. It is a belief of the Whangara people that their entire culture descends from a single ancestor a thousand years ago, Paikea, who escaped death when his canoe capsized in the ocean by riding back home on the back of a whale. |
A wonderful story of the
Maori Myth ancestral leader of a tribe uniting the fragmentation of its
people with a new leader. This leader has the struggle of bringing the feminine matriachal into prominent position and acceptance, away from the past and the typical male dominated logical approach. The patriachal gives way in loving acceptance to what is a heroic achievement against all odds. |

Donnie Darko |
I had the thought that he was
pre-determined to his death, and that his higher self (transcending time of
course) allowed him to have carte blanche as to what he wanted to do before
this time. Therefore, all we witnessed until the final scenes were a dream,
a compensational grace dream where he could fight his demons, love his
loves, destroy his falsehoods and lies, stand up to the bullies, etc. At the
end, as opposed to the opening dream, the aircraft engine takes him. He was
given however, a gift of an extra 28 days, etc, etc..
To me (all versions are appropriate), he never left his bed. The
events were all in the dream, and this was a gift of extra time to
re-arrange his world in order to become more in balance. When we are in
balance, there is less karmic consequences, so it was all going on in his
head. It starts at the hill-top, where he bicycles home, and ends at the
hilltop, before he gets back into bed, at peace with himself, just before
the aircraft engine does actually kill him. The family wept, the
"girl-friend" obviously didn't know them while biking past.
Want some more "time" to get it better before you passing? I am sure
it would be beneficial. Oh and don't forget that there was a "fast rewind" of all that happened before he was back in bed before the aircraft engine hit the bedroom proper. His mother, supposed to be on the aircraft withthe younger daughter, were obviously not in real time, as they were mourning Donnie after the accident. His therapist awoke in bed, perhaps part of the dream too...., as well as Frank with the mask. |
 By allowing Neo to be assimilated into Smith, the program imploded (darkness meets light, positive meets negative shadow) and balance is restored. The Oracle is pleasantly surprised with her helped outcome, albeit with human un-predictable elements, as the Matrix reformulates to a more conducive environment, and an optional future to the humans still in its embrace. "Of course you can trust me, I am not human". |
The final of the trilogy has now been consumed by the
masses.
The machine world concedes that it needs human input to survive and gives Neo the chance to eliminate the Smith program, a shadow aspect of Neo himself. The Smith was introduced by the Architect to protect the Matrix, but had gotten out of control. |
 Ashton Kutcher plays a young man with a dark and troubled past, who discovers that he has the ability to travel back in time and occupy his childhood body. He soon finds that with every trip back in time, it alters his future, leading him to keep traveling back to repair the damage, with disastrous results. |
This movie has some affiliations with lucid dreaming, where the person is in control of the dream. While in such states, changing the dream will result in changing the waking life too. This goes back to Jungian comment where what happens in waking life, is at first dreamed. The Unconscious interfaced through the subconscious, & then manifests through the conscious. |

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK A great movie featuring an army from the "Underverse", their leader beaten in the end by the Riddick character who is beyond fear and lives out his destiny as seen by the Etherians. The good side I supposed must be the normal Universe or perhaps an "Oververse?" |

This is the spiritual film of 2005 for me, a paradigm shift in the presentation of the dynamics graphically of what goes on beneath the visual. For too long, the film industry has ignored its talents, opting for science fiction and ego based power stories for representation of the "spiritual" in the dual world view. When this film was released, it heralded a new frontier leading to the truth of what is important on the planet at this time, so that the Kali Yuga winds up its hold on consciousness, and we heal the Earth Mother as well as ourselves. Separateness is gone, as we realise that, just like the wireless networking of computers and peripherals eases the physical copper connections, human beings are similarly connected "invisibly". It is no longer valid to see each person as a separate being, but to realise that we are always connected to each other by the network of the Force, to coin the popular Star Wars terminology, and that we are the result of our thinking. Our thoughts create reality, but because of our prior notion of separateness, we believed that they affected only ourself. The saying that each action produces a re-action, albeit global and beyond this three dimensional reality, is of paramount importance to be taught in the home by parents, as well as in the education system, as basic human values, and has to be role modelled. Perhaps then, will the responsibility and respect come back into the younger generations to come, and with meditation and silent sitting being mandatory in teaching, allow all humanity to reclaim their birthright in the blissful serenity that is available always? |
