There are more of course. Q talks about some specific movies, or how certain events are like a movie, but I have been pondering the question, what makes a good movie? I have been thinking about the events currently unfolding, and movies.
Movies contain many elements. Heroes, villains, action, tension, suspense, character arcs, gadgetry, symbolism, story, overcoming great odds, journeys, special effects, dialog, schemes.... etc. Why would we be told to, think movie? One thought I've had is we were being primed to expect a movie level of absurdity to manifest in reality. Like the absurdity of the old Bond villains, set on world destruction. I always found those characters so extreme as to be absurd, but now it seems reality contains more than Bond villian levels of absurdity. We were being told, yes, such evil is real. Such plans are on motion. Believe that you are in mortal danger, and the future of humanity is in question.
I struggle with this. When I’m praying about it, I acknowledge that they will all face God’s judgment in the end, but I want them to face man’s justice as well. I want entire classes taught on how this was allowed to happen and how the evil almost won. I want future generations to be taught how easy it is to be corrupted, and the price that was paid. I want this lesson spread to every corner of the globe.
100%. We're a day closer at least.
