Inception

Fantastic movie, highly recommend it!

The movie is somewhat lengthy (around 2.5 hrs long) but it's original and keeps you on your toes.  :)

Good to hear. Hubby wants to see it and we read a review that wasn't too favorable which we were going to ignore anyway! I like thinking movies and the stars in this one.

Hey Marques
In your view, do you think this movie attempted to explore any spiritual themes? I'm going to see it this weekend also.

Yep, it was a great flick; my son and I went to see it tonight. We were wondering how this movie may have turned out in 3D  :P
I am curious to read what Marques' opinion is about

... Presently, I am still trying to digest it.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend it; the movie is well worth the trip and money.

Hey Marques,

                    My Daughter and I saw Inception on Monday, thought it was very good, but you have to pay close attention to follow it. It didn't help that it was after one of my long drives to Altoona, Pa, was very tired while viewing it. Will have to see it again, when more well rested. My Wife wants to see it too.

                           Good Movie, Samson.

I haven't been to a movie theater in so long; the last movie I can remember seeing is "We Were Soldiers" in 02'.

I heard Ramona and Beezus is really good---family values and all that---maybe a better venue for "thinking about good things" as Paul said.

I'm just saying....

NAICE ;D

My friend and I waited 3 hours to watch Inception... Full house for two screenings! But it was well worth it. An ambitious, complex concept, but it was sufficiently coherent for an awesome thrilling ride (at least, for those who pay attention). Anyone else think that the whole thing was a dream?

I liked that Inception graphically presented how the mind “projects” its defense AGAINST an idea that is not accepted. This plays out everywhere. For instance, Christendom, projects doom on those who know God, understand that God will not fail but Who’s Will, will be done and all shall be corrected, repented and no one shall be subject to unending torment, suffering and diabolical pain. That most of the world does not believe God is Love, I believe, manifests the absence of love in the pain driven power ridden ruthless apostate world we live in. Only few know the Truth and not the many. It is not the majority that have the power of change but the one that makes the difference, steps out of the mold, separates from popular opinions, disengages from the restraints of approval and stands, albeit alone, but united to every soul that desires the same standard of iconic achievements against all the odds. Christ showed the way.  8) :)

We are what we think. I believe we manifest what we believe and God controls everything causing our experience of evil that initiates, cultivates and grows our appreciation of what is good sustained in the Mercy and Grace in our loving God’s Plan and Purpose for each of us. We will all wake up one day yet as etched in the troubled “unknowing” of Shakespeare, we the living know that God is not a mystery but a certainty, not a failure but shall achieve above and beyond our highest hopes and prayers not snared or doubted as once did Shakespeare gving poetic licence to such films as Inception, or Matrix ~ Keanu Reeves or What Dreams May Come ~ Robin Williams.

Shakespeare’s questions are not our questions. Shakespeare’s doubts are not our doubts. We know the Truth and in our Hope rests our Faith and certainty unlike any popular poet or silver screen box office hit. Compare notes…We know we shall BE because Christ IS and as He IS so are we in this world of doubts, contrasts, shadows and many winds of futile doctrines.
 
[i]A monologue from the play by William Shakespeare

HAMLET: To be, or not to be--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep--
No more--and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. -- Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia! -- Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.[/i]


Poor chap! :D ;D

So it is not only the Church that wants to be the architect of our lives and God over our souls! :D God's Plan and Purpose for each of us in our circumstances appointed to our experiences are inescapable! :)

Hey
I finally saw it - loved it - thoroughly enjoyable! It had me totally engrossed.
Great acting. I'm still reflecting on whether there were any spiritual lessons or undertones that could be derived.
