Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi (2022)
One of the few good Star Wars products under the Disney name.
First episode was a bore, but the rest are much better!
Most episodes have to do with Count Dooku and do well in establishing his view while a Jedi These were the best episodes, imo. The last couple have to do with Ahsoka. One being a training experience and the final being some aftermath from the takeover of the Empire.
I only discovered this short series after watching season one of the live action Ahsoka which was tremendously disappointing and a disgrace to her character. Utter trash. Garbage!
While I can only discourage others from tainting their memory of Ahsoka and further damaging the legacy of Lucasfilm, overall, I must say Tales of the Jedi season one is a definite watch!
Apostasy (2017)
But the New System!
Very accurate portrayal of the culture! I don't sense a strong bias in the film. The only discrepancy I would point out is the elders in the film may not be as tactful or empathetic as some should be. A consistent mention of "the rules" comes to mind. However, I do realize this is likely the experience most.
My own research still leads me to favor avoiding blood transfusion and organ transplants. They're also big business and bring big money! As far as I know, organ transplants are a 'matter of personal conscience' to JWs.
Condemnation devoid of investigation is the height of IGNORance. This is practiced by so many, not just JWs.
"Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man." This is a quote of Aristotle greatly favored by the Jesuits regarding conditioning. Interestingly, we observe a few of the characters as being raised as JWs.
Isolation, repetition, trauma. These are aspects of mind-control. They are utilized by government, education, religion and many industries.
We all have our traumas (programming) to work through. Doing so takes love for ourselves, appreciation for true knowledge and what is right. Thereby we also grow in real empathy for our fellow people.
I do as I wish while forsaking the violation of others.
If one's action violates none, it is their right.
If one's action violates another, it is not their right. It is wrong.
This is true morality.
No one stands between myself and the Divine!
'Judge a tree by its fruits!'
I wonder if it's any clue the daughter's flat is numbered 33.
Mark Passio (demystifying the occult) and Santos Bonacci (syncretism) are some researchers I'd recommend.
Research and gift orgonite!
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
A masturbatory exercise in self-hatred.
'No one is special.'
Hollywood shows how much contempt it has for moviegoers. Some good acting, but shallow, unlikeable characters and no plot. Kept waiting for it to get better. It accuses the audience of preferring visual effect, action and poopy plot while giving you visual effect, some good acting and a poopy plot.
It does this for 2 hours.
No real character development. No real moral lesson. No real inspiration to a better individual or society.
A very selfish film.
Something was said in the latest Walking Dead episode about living in a world where people judge you by what they can take away from you. A highly selfish, survival-at-all-costs, satanic mindset, rife without love of goodness. While I never saw the trailers, I read these were constructed to trick the viewers' expectations. While I saw Birdman only after discovering it on IMDb, I'm glad I didn't pay to see it. I did lose out on my time, though. And so elitist professionals/experts/critics of our society prop up this circle jerk of a work to show how much they hate themselves and everyone while providing no hope, insight or solution. This is what they worship and its what they want you to worship. This is what they are and they want you to be. Empty. Devoid of any real value or merit. A soulless instrument.
I'll show you hope. I'll show you inspiration. I'll show you real value and merit. Truly love yourself and others. whatonearthishappening.com
