Could that be the symbol involved?think about it? . . .\n\n( Please only those who have watched the movie may answer, and kindly give reasons for your answer if you may. Thank you. )

No, its about a family (Walker) that when their father/grandfather died got the idea of creating their own community of peace and prosperity with all of the money he left them.  Where nobody would have to feel sorrow or pain.  After all of that, the same things that happen in the outside world happen to their village.  Death/Murder etc.

Because it is such a nationally connected symbol, one that everyone in the US recognizes...because of its meaning and isgnificance...its destruction in cinema is for drawing a particular emotional response...

To me, it signifies racism. It signifies ongoing support of the Southern Confederacy and the way of life for which they chose to fight, that of plantations living off the backs of slaves. It feels to me like the person flying it is sending the message that they still support the south (in reference to the Civil War, not just fond feelings of home...)and wish that the south would have won the war so that slavery could continue.  It signifies a smoldering resentment that AfroAmericans are now free to mingle in society. I'm sure plenty others will disagree, but that's what it signifies to me. By the way, I am white, if that affects how you interpret my response.

First off...I say no.\n\nSecond of all, perhaps there's more to consider.  \n\nAsk yourself WHY satan appeared as a serpent in the garden?  (hit...satan always tries to decieve).\n\nIn Exodus, when the children of Israel are being afflicted by the "flying serpents" moses puts a serpent on a cross (um...symbolic) and says "look to the serpent to live".\n\nThis is not doctrine of my faith, however I sincerly believe that at one point the serpent was a symbol of christ rather than of satan.  Satan appeared in a manner trying to mimick christ and therefore decieve eve.  Moses knew this symbology but it's since been forgotten.\n\nI believe the snake was originally a symbol of Christ.

Well, the movie was most definately unique in its special effects, characters and story.  I, like you, loved the first one and thought the other two trailed off.  As for a deeper philosophical meaning it is interesting to consider the fact that we may not be in control of our lives.  The world around is just an illusion and that we must have our eyes open to know real truth.

SORRY BUT PANDERING TO THE HYPE, WRONG WORD PERHAPS!! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IT WAS A FILM MADE WITH AN EYE ON THE BOX OFFICE. WELL SHOT PRESENTED BUT PURELY HYPOTHETICAL, AND IT STILL LEFT ME WONDERING \n\nTOO MUCH EMPHAISE ON THE WHOLE SCENARIO OF THAT HORRIBLE DAY AND DARE I SAY IT PERHAPS THE FILM COMPANY WAS CASHING IN!!!!

I don't think so.  I believe that one of the biggest components to making the movie so great was the controversial tone of it.  The movie had great cinematography; but without the edge of the characters interplay, it wouldn't have had a whole lot of substance.

I'm a big A Perfect Circle fan, those lyrics are full of symbolism.  I would pick something that you personally enjoy and have found meaning to, instead of trying to read symbolism into other's ideas (in other words, turn off yahoo answers and do your homework :)

I think that the whole thing was a dream the guy had while he was dying.  The movie you saw was what was goingon in his head, a dream world he had made up..  At the very end he realized it.  The dream had people in it that were surrounding him as the accident took place.  The poeple who were the most prominent in the movie were those who were around him the most after the accident.\n\nIt was a bit confusing though - I just watched it last night.

I completely feel you on this...I've seen that movie myself, and a few others.  There are so many questions, I don't understand how people can just ignore it...and in fact get mad at you for questioning it!  Isn't that the point of democracy, being allowed to examine what's going on and make an educated decision?  Don't let the mean remarks that you will inevitably get bring you down...you are a thinker, and that is to be commended!\n\nEDIT: Nikki, here is the link:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7218920724339766288&q=loose+change

Do you really think that this kind of movies can effect a whole religion . You see movies on mermaids , ghosts , supermens , but do you believe them ? So why to believe a mere movie which is just made for the purpose of entertainment . All the movies are frictional and no one can claim of any movie being a true thing . So just dont allow such stuff to effect your line of thinking . A single movie or a novel can not effect the thousands of years of religion and purity .

The book is a work of fiction...but it brings up some interesting points.\n\nThe movie helps visualize the painting, and it really looks like her head would rest on Jesus' shoulder.  Even the colors of their clothing match.\n\nEnjoyed the book and the movie.

Annie, the issue really doesn't appear to be if global changes are happening but why. The movie has some truths to it but the alarmist nature of the movie is a bit over the top in my view and that of many others who have seen it. No doubt we must do what we can within reason to stop adding to a problem, but we also have to be able to reasonably show that us making a change would have an effect and not make decisions in haste that will negatively affect other unless they will make a difference. Not good to go off running and shouting about the sky falling unless it really is falling.\n\n\nedit: I applaud you thinking for yourself in this matter. Gather all the information you can find, check it out and make up your own mind rather than just fall in line.

Well, to me the comparison is clear, not saying it's valid or that I agree. When you watch the original movie, and listen to Marlen Brando's monologue about sending his "only son" so save the human race and that all we need is the "light" to show us the way. \n\nSpecifically, what they are referring to is that monologue. A supernatural being coming to earth to save us, really.  Supposedly, they are using old footage of Brando from the original in this new film, and the words are stunningly biblical. \n\nCheck it out!
