a perfect moment Please forgive this back-and-forth between fiction and science..

There are some movies where a moment so perfect, so beautiful, allows us to glimpse heaven through music and film in a way not easily described by words. A good example is in the movie Wall-E at 58:48 minutes into the film. Eve receives a plant from Wall-e which represents the future restoration of the race on Earth. The music is so perfectly synchronized and choreographed with the action we're left in tears. i'm sure i'm not the only one to perceive this ergo this particular article. Of course, you should watch the entire movie not skip to the aforementioned moment ;) The tension builds appropriately so that when the moment occurs, tears and emotional upheaval are unavoidable ;) The flight of the couple between firing engines of the spacecraft becomes nothing less than magical .. As i write these words .. It's impossible for me to write without tears in my eyes.. So magical.. So wonderful.. And there are many movies with such moments .. More in detail, the plant represents hope; the firing engines the technology we can develop through cooperation ;) ^^ Which relates to previous articles.. ;) Atlantis: at 1:20:54, Milo releases his Atlantean girlfriend to save her civilization in confirmation of positive prophecy. Again, music is perfectly choreographed with action so that we're left in tears and awe of the realizable possibility: with will, patience, and consistent effort we can protect the ones we love. :) What better message to give our youth? ^^ Forbidden Kingdom: at 1:19:17, our hero is given the bo-staff the only thing which can release the Monkey King, the quintessential Asian symbol of innocence, from his prison of stone. When the Monkey King is restored, his faithful servant recognized for his sacrifice and worthy devotion, we are brought to fervent tears praying for a real earthly version of this archetype. This is where fiction encroaches on reality. We cannot escape it. i firmly believe fiction can reflect into reality not just in our wishes and desires.. But in tangible reality. The best we dream can become reality .. if our faith is strong enough. Charlie's Angels: at 57:03, Drew realizes Sam is not the man she imagined. This is a kind of 'counter positive' example ;) In this moment, her love shines olympian :) She cannot believe Sam's a 'bad guy' [he] Repeatedly, she's confronted with the truth; repeatedly, she clings to her noble image of Sam. ^^ How often do we repeat her attitude/behavior? It's both sad and wonderful: our faith in good .. Sam deserves kudos for his versatility :) Contact: there are too many wonderful moments in the film. My choice here is at 1:29:11 where Jodie is in flight surveying the completed machine the device which will bring us into 'first contact'. Probably the most important moment in the future history of human civilization, appropriately choreographed with music.. Words fail if this event ever actually takes place. Cyborg Girl: at 29:56 of part two (my version is in two parts), our heroine is racing through an earthquake zone attempting to protect the man she loves. How can a machine feel so much? How can we not? It kills me the idea a machine could feel more than a human but the idea is there. And unfortunately, i believe it will come true. If only we can appreciate that fact. Princess Blade: there's a moment near the end where she cries (she rarely expresses any emotion in the film).. i don't want to ruin the plot.. Watch the whole thing from beginning to end; you'll catch my drift.

Galaxy Quest: too many beautiful moments to choose from ;) But here i choose 1:20:39 where 'fish head' [he] (he's absolutely wonderful in Love Actually) changes from disbeliever to fervent advocate and defender of Thermia, the quintessential race of innocence. Whether you're a sci-fi fan or not, the moment is Moving :) as the Thermians are Adorable. :) Return of the Jedi: 1:50:32, you know ;) Vader defends his son from the most powerful force in the galaxy.. It took six movies to get to this point in the plot. Six movies and 24 years of production. The message? There's nothing more powerful than familial love. Never Cry Wolf: at 1:38:42, our 'hero' watches a Native American leave his hut and life.. Just previously, he found the truth: our society values things over lives (wolf pelts over wolf lives). The symbolic loss in the film should never be lost the message on our collective consciousness. ^^ Nuf said. Spirited Away: Haku remembers his name with the help of Chihiro, his best friend. With his name, he receives his freedom from tyrant witch/boss. Too many roles and archetypes presented in this movie.. :) Please watch these 11+5 movies. Pay attention to the critical moments. Your life can only be enriched by watching, absorbing, appreciating, and pondering in your heart.. Protect, cherish, and cultivate innocence and meaning everywhere everywhen. ..for Bee, Arthur, and Russell..
