Silver Screen: Do you Know what I Know?
March 31, 2009What if all you thought you know isn’t enough to save you? What if all you thought you know would vanish because it was meant to be useless when the time comes?
What if someone knew exactly when and where that very knowing would end?
Knowing will answer all of that.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about exhausting your every brain cells to try to decipher this complex and enigmatic predicament.
I’m talking about the movie Knowing, starred by Nicolas Cage.
The movie is about a little girl who somewhat acts as a prophet of some divine or supernatural, even an extraterrestrial being. Nameless voices whisper to her in a chorus with one point to make.
To tell her every major tragedy on planet earth.
And it does not end there.
It comes with the exact date and exact GPS location. Latitude and longitude. And what’s more bizarre to that is that it also comes with the precise figure of casualties in those disasters.
She tries to list them all in a paper and just as she was about to finish listing, the teacher grabs it from her and puts it in the school’s time capsule, only to be opened after five long decades on the school’s anniversary.
She grew old watching the world crumble to what seemed like a worthless roster of numerical lunacy.
After 50 long years, the time has come. The moment has finally come to unearth the mystery that toyed with the earth. For fifty years, this buried piece of paper played puppet master to the unfortunate humans-made-puppets. With tragedies ranging from plane crashes, boat wrecks, gut-flying car collisions and the likes.
And Nicolas Cage’s son is the one who gets the paper written by Lucinda Embry [Lara Robinson] half a century ago. It wasn’t a coincidence. It was pre-determined.
Nicolas Cage is skeptical at first. But out of nothing, he tries to decipher what this insane roster of useless numerals meant. And he found out just what he wanted to find out.
Nicolas Cage plays with each excruciating truth the number conceals within its numerology. And as he tries to save people from the seemingly concluded, sealed and sold-out heartrending front seat ticket to Hades, he tries to break the limit.
Save the world from its end.
But how about the last numbers unwritten on the paper? Those indicated where the end of the world would occur? And what about the last EE written on the part where the number of people who will die?
Who will be saved? Who are the chosen ones?
The end of the world as the piece of paper indicated: 10/19/09.
Would you believe it just like Nicolas Cage? Or are you to be categorized to those who did not believe the Old Prophets like Ezekiel? [Included in the movie. Read the Scriptures regarding this point.]
I was silenced by the movie.
Hint: The world, according to the movie would end by means of burning. A solar explosion wiped out humans from the face of the world. Does that make sense? Reading the apocalypse can be of great help.
Are the current signs a silent witness to the impending doom the earth is going to suffer? Is it too end to change God’s mind? Or is it already written in God’s mind?
But my stand remains. I am silenced. Both in mind and spirit. And I am petrified.
Moral Lessons: Repentance. Global Warming Awareness. Preparing for the End of the World.
Now, Do you know?
