Jane,

It is a long story. I'm thinking of posting it in parts. Hang tight and we'll see what we can do.

Dreamy adventure Steven. Thanks for sharing. Should be part of the script for Avatar II.

Green Zone is a nice description of Borgsville on fire. You got the politicians, CIA, Special Forces and regular troops all working against each other...and behind the scenes is the capitalist fascist illuminati corps.

Awesome movie, real life tho is not that grainy...strange how they take the edge of tension with grain, while pumping up the action. I would almost like the thing done again in normal Hollywood crystal vision and smooth camera.

Matt Damon oozes presence and goodness. He doesn't miss a beat in following the tread of truth and justice, blasts through corruption without second guessing and has no remorse or confusion over his higher command having sold him a crock of shit. Movie signs off with views of the oil facilities in Iraq.

Anyone add to this...there was one around 1984 that covered the light and dark of life but can't remember what it was called...the dark side of all utopias kind of thing.

Movies to study the more psychological aspects of Dystopias and Utopias:
Lost Horizon (of Shangri-La)
Gattaca
Logan’s Run
1984
Brave New World
THX 1138
Equilibrium
Blade Runner
I Robot
Surrogate
Lawnmower Man
They Live
Æon Flux
The Island
Matrix
Idiocracy
The Man Who Fell to Earth
Legend
V for Vendetta
Planet of the Apes
Serenity
Twelve Monkeys
The Trial
Minority Report
Clockwork Orange
Brazil
Metropolis (1927)
Pi
Avalon (2001)
The Beach 
Architettura
Bioshock
Das Haus der Regierung
Foxtrot
Future By Design
Goliath Awaits 
Landmarks of Faith: The Shakers
Light Years
Mile Zero
The Lathe of Heaven
Coast of Utopia

I was trying to stick with movies that weren't too dark, and were more than just action flicks.
I just watched Serenity...it must surely be the best Anti-Imperialist, antiborg movie there is.

 Control the food and you control the people.
Charter of the Forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ridley Scott's Robinhood is a brilliantly crafted allegory of the abuses of law and rule that are still occurring today...in more underhanded ways than ever before. Considering that Codex Alimentarus and Monsanto's rape of nature will change the face of the nutrient supply on the planet...soon there will also be greater restrictions on gaming, wildcrafting and even the growing of food. The sad fact is that the majority of people caught in "industralization syndrome" are afraid to gather freely from nature's bounty...and feel it unethical, like..."there should be a law against it." Well contrary to that diseased outlook which leads nowhere but to a certifiable Borg planet...I believe it is cosmically unlawful to actually have to pay for food at all. We should set up the permaculture foundations of "civilization" such that the highest conscious food is freely available to all. After all, that is what Nature...the ultimate authority, intended.

if you havn't seen this movie before, it's worth checking out. from 1990.. Mindwalk. with Liv Ulman and others. the review on this page sums it up pretty good.

Jim, Mindwalk brings to mind "my dinner with Andre"(1981) which among other things extols the virtues of Findhorn . Does anyone download(? ) independent interesting movies on their computer?

[jimtzu]

henry, i figured someone here had seen it. i must have missed it somehow.  i download some movies when i can find a good one or two.

I don't know if the Twilight series is actually healthy.
I left the latest Eclipse movie today and felt anemic, oxygen deprived, immune depressed, heart deflated with a billious liver.

The entire excuse for the series is the sick drive of Bella Swan to become a blood sucking vampire supposedly to be for eternity with her blood sucking Edward. This dark and precipitous addiction is veiled in a false virtue of a bland chastity and the sick temptation of superpowers...with little regard for the fact that vampires are parasites and reliant on the life they suck out of others. I think this movie and its author are as blood sucking as the characters they portray.
Conceptually and energetically Twilight is not a healthy light to expose young kids to. But society is too sick to even know it.

[Jana]

The sensitivity, viseral communication and psi were good to see, but in the context of such pathology...this made it all the more sick and sickening.

Perhaps humanity is in a love crisis in general. We are having to move away from the romantic, codependent, addictive, possessive, nuclear models of relationship...but we have no examples, models or seriously focused description of what a higher-creative male-female relationship would be. This is what the movie industry should be focused on...after all the fuckers are supposed to be goddam artists...not parasites!
Zero Care.

Stephenie Meyer---Second oldest of 6 children, lives in AZ (heatstroke) and  graduated from Brigham Young University with a bach. She was obviously depressed at being a stay at home mum with 3 children and stayed in bed all day fantasizing about being a teenager again with no responsibilities. Her christian upbringing having repressed her most carnal desires which turned morbid and vampirous. Then she packaged her fantasies into some books and fed them to an equally repressed, depressed and purposeless christian population. Instead of presenting the cure to the vampirous christian church, she offers more of the sickness. But presented in such style and fashion, along with the promise of Native American wisdom/integrity it captures the interest of naive youth...who have no idea that church and state utilize their sexual frustration and energy in order to fight their wars of plunder.

Ok, well I did cry through the last 4  or 5 parts of the Tudor series. I always wondered what seething mess created the reign of Elizabeth the first. Now I know...and I am fricking pissed. Now I am off to rewatch Elizabeth on netflicks.
I am not sure we are much further along. I see the exact same forces of church and monarchy in place...yet monarchy has now shifted to he who is the most diabolical and has the most money.

But hey...the gulf rigged slip spill is tapped.

The Living Matrix discusses energy and information fields determining human health, physiology and biochemistry. Contributors include  Bruce Lipton, Greg Bradon, Lynn Mctaggart. It emphasizes the role of consciousness and belief. This is presenting more evidence of the inextricable connection between our awareness and experience.

In 8 parts here

The movie Inception is pretty important as it gives us a sense of the multilayered nature of consciousness. Not only can we dream through various layers of lucidity...and feel the shocked awake jump between the layers as we become lucid to the dream. We can also move through levels or diamensions of consciousness in the waking state and view reality differently at each layer as a result. This brilliant movie produces a viseral demostration of this multiplexity of consciousness, which may help people to actually ascend in consciousness to become somewhat more awake to the waking dream. A movie like this could be done using the layering system of Bigmind. www.bigmind.org/

Lucid waking is a good thing and much more difficult than lucid dreaming.
