Review #2459 - Dated: 23rd of April, 2008
Author: testbot |
Ironically this movie had some real appeal for me. After being laid up in hospital after getting hit by a car while on my pushbike and being told I am lucky my spine stayed intact I have the joy of a few months of rehab to look forward to. Because of that I found the movie quite worth watching, and I am really glad I did. It has given me hope that I might be able to walk normally and get back to my cycling and put these last 8 weeks behind me. The movie itself it pretty strange, with the 'Socrates' character doing some pretty trippy stuff, and no real evidence he existed at all by the end of it. Certainly the only other character in the movie to interact with him, Joy, doesn't mention him much and we don't see her after Dan's big show, just the closing credits. If this movie is in some way supposed to be accurate, I am not sure what to make of it, because it reminds me far more of a story played out in line with the concepts behind the What the Bleep?! movie(s). I loved the way Dan fought for what he loved and valued, and it carried many good messages, for those willing to watch with an open mind and apply a bit of thought. I found this far more enjoyable and easy to get involved in than the 'Bleep?!' movie(s) and I think anyone who thinks they have a handle on life should watch it, just to wake them up a bit. "There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary moments." It's a great thing to keep running in your head on loop play. Live for your life, but focus on the moment.
