KNOWING (FILM)

Well, honestly I just watched the movie and it is not bad. It really leaves you thinking, especially with the current events that are really happening.

First of all the movie was very much a contemporary way to illustrate that non believers should keep an open mind. If you paid any attention at all to the film, you would have seen that as the aliens flew back to their “spaceship”, they had wings.There were MANY scenes that held symbolism. The filmmakers clearly are trying to use the sci fi method of filmmaking to open peoples eyes. The truth it, you dont have to be a believer to enjoy the film. It should open your eyes to the fact that everything we have in life is impermanent and just like in the final scenes when the flames engulf everything, we can all be gone within moments.




















Expand your mind and imagination and think of the possibilities. The film was great in doing that and all fo you who have nothing but negative reviews should really re evaluate the message of the film.

The whole semi-Scientology theme kind of threw off me; as a scientist, and a believer in a higher power, but a disbeliever in the possibility there are conditions that can sustain intelligent life anywhere else, I wasn’t too fond of that (even with that said, the Matrix bothered me in the same way but I still enjoy it). The movie, in my opinion, was disturbing, surprising, clever, and amazing all at once. The shaking camera gave me a feeling of vertigo, but also a sense that I was RIGHT THERE with every event.

I thought this movie was FANTASTIC!! I LOVED IT! I thought every aspect of it was just so realistic- i love theoretical movies that challenge your beliefs- it really makes you double take on the things that are normally simple but more complex. I thought That the movie was really creepy, but not scary enough that i had to look away and it was just great acting . i didnt like the end though. everything was so realistic- and then like- FTW Aliens abductthe kids and he dies? what? and the planet they go to-so fake it just ruined.

As a christian I kept asking myself many, many questions.


a) Why do these “evil looking beings” later turn out to be “Celestial Angels or gods” that disguise themselves as dark, evil, looking persons that reveal the future to the little boy of what is going to happen on earth turn out to be the Saviours of the chosen ones? If God is the Father, Son and Holy spirit are three in One…why at the end of the Film the movie reveals Four? Don’t u think this is Satan, wanting to imitate God’s purpouse, His plan of Salvation, distorting the truth? If God’s Divinity is composed of three, why does the movie represent 4 beings?

b) And why this ending? The tree of Knowledge? Of the good and evil? Or Just the tree of Knowledge? Why end the movie like this?

c) I Ask myself if the aliens were from Niburu or if they were angels?

whatever, it's just a movie but i had this question, but, i recommend it very much.

here's the sinopsis:



A time capsule containing a cryptic message about the coming apocalypse sends a concerned father on a race to prevent the horrific events from unfolding as predicted in this sci-fi thriller directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City) and starring Nicolas Cage. 1958: As the dedication ceremony for a newly constructed elementary school gets under way, a time capsule containing student drawings of the future is buried on the grounds and scheduled to be unearthed on the school's 50th anniversary. Instead of submitting a drawing, however, one little girl scribbles a series of seemingly random numbers on her paper before it is buried. Fifty years later, the time capsule is unearthed for a new generation of students to examine. Young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is one of those students. The mysterious sequence of numbers falling into his possession, Caleb takes the paper to his father, Professor John Koestler (Cage), for examination. Studying the numbers, Professor Koestler soon discovers that they aren't random at all, but an encoded message containing the precise dates, death tolls, and coordinates of every major disaster since the time capsule was buried. Not only that, but the document also indicates that there will be three more such events, the last of which indicates a doomsday scenario that appears directly tied to Professor Koestler and Caleb. His desperate plea to authorities falling on deaf ears, Professor Koestler realizes that his only hope for preventing more lives from being lost is to take personal action. Though the author of the prophecies is no longer living, Professor Koestler is eventually able to track down her daughter Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne), and granddaughter Abby, who reluctantly agree to aid in the investigation. As the final date on the list draws near, Professor Koestler enters into a frantic race against time to prevent destruction on a global scale, in the process realizing that in order to save millions of lives, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
