I learned that long ago in the business world, always a reason why someone buys you lunch. It still tastes better!

I think what the Tree of Life represented in that scene was the next evolutionary stage of humanity. In the Bible, when Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, they gain the knowledge of good and evil. In other words, they receive the conscious ability to choose between two diametrically opposite states of being. Prior to Original Sin, Human kind was a clueless child with no free will. Eating the fruit gave humans awareness.

In a way it reminds me of the old Muppet movie "the dark crystal". In that movie a crystal basically holds all civilization in harmony. Until one day the Crystal Breaks, and a single shard goes missing. As a result, the Ruling race of that world splits in two. One side becomes sadistic and evil, the other gentle and good. The world begins to basically fall apart until the crystal and the missing shard are reunited, at which point the 2 races become one again, and display the image of a being of light. Implying that the perfect being is one that is both, evil and good. Diametric opposites at peace.

So what happens when the kids eat the fruit? Who knows.

hi dude....2012 is crap....cheap, cheap, cheap! Knowing is OK but spoilt (imo) by having Nicolas Cage in it.
I just wish Hollywood would make something REALLY original once in a while. Give people something unique to think about.
Screw the profit projections, the marketing spin-offs and the pre-release market research screenings. They lead to MEDIOCRATY big time. That's why we rarely see anything original, fresh and truly thought provoking.


Very true... cage sucks in most things he does.

I saw "knowing" today.

Was definitely disappointed.... it's almost so bad it's good.
The story and ideas in the film are good... but the acting, direction and some effects really let it down.

It started off with real promise but just got steadily more and more ridiculous and unbelievable.... coming from an ATS member... that's saying something

Haven't heard or seen much of 2012.... but you're right.
They put out rubbish because rubbish sells....same with music.

Good on ya mate ;up:

Blup

Blurp, coming from an ATS member that means jack all... sorry. The movie was good and it made you think, which is what good movies are supposed to. Nic cage wasn't bad at all.. i'd go see it again.

Q.1

Why did they (Angels/Aliens) wait 50 years to reveal the big end and so dam cryptic. Why not give the planet 50 yrs to build some ships etc to save as many as possible.


The Angels waited that long because it all was part of a plan. When you are not truly aware you follow the predestined path your spirit made before starting this life, and you will choose whether knowingly or not to follow that predestined path. This is also shown by what happens to the two adults in the movie.

The woman was told by her mother when she will die, she did not want to believe it and continued trying to escape the inescapable. At the end she died and she realized the truth which is why she held the stone as a message to the man.

Then the man is told that only the children are supposed to be saved, and he realizes he wasn't meant to survive, then goes home to die with the rest of his family.

The Angels choose only "some" children because only a few people are prepared to start a new different world. In the movie they only save children, but in reality many of those who have the innocence of a child's heart will be saved. It really has nothing to do with any particular religion.

Q.2

Would a solar flare really be that big?


Could be smaller and still have a large impact on Earth, or it could be much bigger and obliterate the Earth.

However, the real event which will occur will be disastruous, but not as big as in the movie. Many people both good and evil will survive. Many people who once were good will switch and become evil, and only a few will remain relatively "human".

Just my thoughts.


Should then we say that those books you read are a rip off of the messages given to people about this?

People have been given messages similar to what is seen in this movie.

I must agree! I saw this movie last night, and it was great. But, most intresting... is its almost taken from some members GFL and current Sun issues posts at ATS!

I find it most intresting that many have recently become obsessed with the Sun, monitoring and posting up to the min updates. I guess they watched this movie.
