wowie movie = CRASH

gang!
it's hard to find good movies these days, isn't it? most are so grossly negative/depraved even. we watched this fantastic dvd tonight called crash by lionsgate. it is a very provocative film, well-acted by top stars. i realized tonight that crash graphically shows how loo works in this world of humans. the film came out in 2005, and i watched it back then, but it's one of those films you have to watch several times to "get it", or at least now that i understand more of why we are here and what is going on i can see the underlying truths in the movie more than when i saw it the 1st time. there's lots of violence, but there is humor and pathos as well. crash got 3 academy awards. [if you are interested, please email jax for the site url] if you watch crash or remember it, let us know what you think/thought of it. i particularly like the part about the "invincible cloak". ;) l&l, jax

i really enjoyed "fight club" when it came out - it shook me loose of my materialism...

"donnie darko" is another great movie...

i've heard great things about crash, but still haven't rented it. for some sad reason, i just don't enjoy movies like i used to (probably because i pissed away so much money on dvd's that sit and gather dust)...

thanks for reminding me jax, i'll have to check it out and get back to you.

yeah, it's a really amazing film, i've seen it.

i've noticed you can find a lot of loo themes in movies that become super popular. from transformers to crash! perhaps people haven't forgotten as much as we may think.

i never saw crash but i saw the new movie called "stardust" which i thought was very entertaining and well done. i highly recommend that and i will check out crash on your recommendation. take it easy.

i'm sorry to be the voice of descent but i saw crash and found it extremely disturbing. to me, it went against everything i was told it was purported to stand for...more or less. i can't bear to bring myself to watch it again, the prospect is painful. :(

thanks for your comments. the first time i saw the movie (crash) i found it disturbing, too. i feel the movie showed how we are all one and our lives intertwine in subtle ways that help us grow and learn. i feel it showed that even in death we can grow and learn. i must admit i didn't understand the way they did the ending. the young white cop (who had earlier saved the black film director after the car chase) then killed the young black hitchhiking punk he picked up because he laughed at the sight of the st. christopher statue on the cop's dashboard. i think it would have ended better if the cop and punk had laughed together at having the same statue they believed would protect them from harm. what do you think? l&l, jax

hi jax!

i watched this movie yesterday at your suggestion. it was very thought provoking and had many very deep innuendos. it was quite a rollercoaster ride emotionally and i enjoyed that immensely. it also underscored the oneness of us all and how the law of attraction plays out in our lives daily. an excellent piece of work. thank you.

to be perfectly honest, that was one of the few moments in the film that i truly appreciated. it was one of the only parts of the movie that, imo, spoke real truth about racism from an unbiased viewpoint. it showed racism, prejudice, hate, fear, and seperateness as the destructive infections they are and how easy it is to contract them. imo, with the kind of world we live in today, i think people need significant spiritual fortitude to stand up to that barrage of diseases on a daily basis. like any other infection, the seeds are always, always there ready to plant themselves but the body must constantly fight them off. i believe the spirit must do that, too.

i've been reading much in the ra/q'uo/aaron transcripts and other channeled information (email jax for the name of a website) about problems, pain, judgment, and prejudice lately, so that's perhaps the reason the movie affected me enough to comment on it publicly after watching it a second time. i see these prejudices and hatreds in myself and they're not pretty. however, to judge my own harshness just produces feelings of unworthiness. it's futile. we can't avoid our dark sides, or fight them, because they're part of us in this density. love is the only thing that changes things for the better, but even love can't make a perfect 3rd density world. the love the character of matt dillon showed for his ailing father, the love the black woman had for her husband, the love shown for the sandra bullock character by her maid after falling down the stairs, the love shown by the locksmith father to his frightened child and her trust that the "magic cape" would protect them no matter what. i feel love brought balance to the violence and hatred shown in the movie. life for us earthizens is never easy, but we trust it's surely worthwhile in the long run. peace. jax
