Thoughts at the movies
Two movies i have recently been to watch have deeper meanings, that is if one dives deeper than, possibly, was intended by the Director.
Just Like Heaven - I saw this movie with Steve Jaegar, and afterwards Steve talked about how it related to him how a main theme was destiny. And He believed that one could not live without believing in Destiny because destiny gives purpose to life, it gives a sense of direction, something to aim to achieve. To live their Destiny. And whilst talking to steve about such things i naturally started thinking about the subject at hand and, indisputably, agree with him. The movie, though it did contain a little witchcraft/trying to abolish what he believed was a ghost, very nicely portrayed the theme of Destiny. It was not either of their choices to fall in love with each other but of a higher power. And though both of them tried to abandon each other they were unable to be seperated. I know that God has a destiny placed on each of our lives. But one thing i disagree with is the fact (or what i believe to be fact) that we do have the choice. We can follow that destiny when we know what we must do and do it, or we can say no, i'm not doing that, i want to do it my way, i'm sacred of stepping out. However it isn't so simple sometimes. Sometimes we don't know what to do, and in Just Like Heaven in the beginning both the woman and the man didn't know what to do and for that reason tried to depart each other's company. But as it is with destiny it is not so easy to toss aside and eventually you do realise that you don't find it so easy to leave someone, or something and when you do you feel like you are incomplete, unfulfilled. That is when you have to turn back to the road in which your destiny will be fulfilled from, that is when you have the choice, because it is then that you know what choice you have. To give your destiny a chance to play the cards or to take away the only thing that ever fulfill you. God has a place in every destiny, and that is why following Him is the right road to acomplish that destiny.
Fun With Dick And Jane - Is about the cruel nature of Humans that can cause others to do extreme things. For people that have so much then suddenly have so little, less infact than what was necessary to survive. From Prosperity to Poverty. It spoke to me in that, Dick invested his life on worldy riches, something he believed was so secure, but in a heartbeat he realised that his security was not quite so secure. But by then it was too late. The story ended happily but what it failed to mention is what those victors would then do with their gain. Because it would be inevitably thrown away, stolen, wasted, laundered. Years of their lives could again be used for no useful accomplishment. The reason for this is because they still invested in worldy riches, rather than kind deeds, compassionate hearts, and pious living. You see if they lived like that then they would be truly satisfied, overly contented, richly joyous.
None of those really had a particular moral, i don't even know why i started writing about them. I only wrote what can into my head, so possibly a lot of constructive feedback would be good if nothing makes sense. That way i can straighten out what i'm thinking right now, because to be honest, i don't really know what i'm thinking

Two movie I've been meanign to see.
At the movies that seem to lack the "at the end" moral, well, you make your own moral to fit the story, you let the story tag you along and in the end, draw a moral conclusion, wich is what you did with FWDAJ (what an acronym that is!)
Destiny is a great thing to talk about because there is only one way to see destiny, hindsight.
As humans we can't see the future because we live in the moment.
We are like dogs led by the master we don't exactly know where we are going but we trust enough to be led there by a higher power.
We can only grow and see how our destiny pans out by looking backwards at the mistakes we have made and learning from them.
Destiny is something only God knows because we let him control ours, ther are so many 'free-willed' people in the world who still have a destiny but understand the meaning of it differently.
