Deaf Tranquil Life

A Short Movie Review--"Brotherhood of the Wolf"

                                                     

One commenter suggested in my recent blog posting about vampires and zombies that I checked the movie "Brotherhood of the Wolf" out.  I found and put it on the top of my Netflix queue.  I got it yesterday morning and after raking leaves, I settled down to watch it before heading out to the Nightmare Manor.  It was not what I expected; I actually thought it would be a gory, scary, fast-paced monster foreign flix.  It was produced in France and the story took place there, as well, during the pre-French Revolution (in which many aristocrats met their fates with the guillotine.)  Let me say that I am not very familiar with French Revolution...I do know that Napoleon Bonaparte came into power after the war.

I am not going to give out spoilers, so let's say it's a political, psychological, religious, sad, scary, frustrating, thought-provoking movie.  It gives a meaning to the beast... that we have beasts within ourselves and we have a choice to make friends or enemies with them.  The story focuses on chasing after the beast to stop it killing people...

Anyway, at the end, I felt sorry for the beast.  It happened to be existing in a wrong place at a wrong time, against its will.  At least it got a degree of respect and sympathy at the end.  That's all I can say for now... check it out ;-)

Update... here's a trailer:

Stephen Hawkins and God

I just read an article about his stance on God's involvement in the creation of the universe:

So, I take that in his point of view, it is impossible to create anything from the gravity.  He did state that the Big Bang theory was just a theory, not a fact... I am not going into the debate whether God exists or not; for now, I will wait for Stephen's book The Grand Design to come out so that I will read it and be judge of it.

Still I look outside, and see the tree's leaves gently trembling against the soft humid breeze and there is a orange cat lazily watching me watching her.  There are the interactions going on, displays of causes and effects.  Such as the burning bushes outside is starting to "burn" more, changing from green leaves to red leaves, especially at the top.

Seems there's a need for interrelationships, which are created by causes and effects...  If there's no God or whatever being man likes to call, there'd be no rules... no rules means no life cycles.  Hmmm... you noticed from the photos of fractal art depicting chaos, one would see cleverly repeated designs, there's an order in the mess.
