The Papillon


Papillon: I am innocent, I didn't kill the Pimp, You couldn't get on me and fear me.
God: That is quiet true, but your real crime is as nothing to do with Pimp's death.
Papillon: Well then, what is it?
God: Your is the most terrible crime by human being can commit, I will kill you of a wasted life.
Papillon: Guilty.
Why does the counter viewpoint push my apparent sketch?

Fight Club

Fight Club (1999)

One of the greatest movies I have ever watched. You can tell after watching the movie it's not about fight kind of thing. I can proudly say I invest more than 50 hours for it. The dialogues attract and the way it is been direct impress you. It's a movie about fighting for rights, rights that some of those not even exist and been created by a non exciting Alter-ego. A unique Alter-ego that everybody would love. Yes, I am talking about Tyler Durden (Brad Pit) a guy who can be and do anything but under one condition, fight for it, more you get heat more you get your lovely life. 
As I mentioned above the dialogues in movie is extremely attractive and impressive. One of the best quests ever in this movie is when Tyler is telling Edward Norton ''Without pain and without sacrifice you would have nothing'', like space monkey, monkeys that are ready to be shut into space.
I don't want to write about the whole concept of the movie because everybody has different point of view but I recommend you watch this movie and try to understand it before you watch it. Remember Fight Club has eight RULES:
1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.
3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.
4th RULE: Only two guys to a fight.
5th RULE: One fight at a time.
6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as they have to.
8th RULE: If this is your first night at FIGHT CLUB, you HAVE to fight.

Most religions believe into the life after death, heaven, hell, finding a place of bliss and wonder after you die, but Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism says; The true path of life lies in the affairs of this world and to have a profound knowledge of this world is itself Buddhism. Further the Daishonin writes "All Scripture or teachings, from whatever source, are ultimately the revelation of Buddhist truth."
According to Hindu philosophy, every person incarnates many times on Earth in different bodies and different places, in order to acquire knowledge and wisdom through the process of reincarnation. This process exists to help humans evolve and become better beings. Mission is accomplished after many different lives, when the soul is purified after having surpassed the obstacles of the physical world. This is when the soul rests in the seventh heaven, or nirvana, as Buddhists say. However, some evolved beings will not rest until the whole humanity has evolved too, so they come back to the physical world one more time, in a new body, conscious of their wisdom, to teach humanity the path to evolution, and therefore, help them reach heaven. These people are called Avatars.
In Buddhism there is a word called Kyo Chi Myogo or fusion of subject and object that James Cameron achieved in his work and this is why we say he reached enlightenment in the world of Filmmaking. The Gosho reads; "The true entity of all phenomena can only be understood and shared between Buddhas. This reality consists of the appearance, nature... and their consistency from beginning to end." It means that all beings and their environments in any of the Ten Worlds, from Hell at the lowest to Buddhahood at the highest, are, without exception, the manifestations of Myoho-renge-kyo. Where there is an environment, there is life within it.
While to the dualists, Buddhists or Scholastics these arguments may seem logical, to the materialists and existentialists, the argument may possess several inconsistencies. One question, asked from the materialist point of view, could be, Why, if a higher conscious created everything with a universally participating conscious, do rocks exist, as they are inanimate objects without purpose or the ability of metaphysical existence.” The answer to this would be that since all creation, including plants, people and animals derived from the same source, then the reason that rocks exist is because these objects hold with themselves an essence of the greater being. Without this essence, they would not exist. Another question might be, “If we all derive from the same source, then why we aren’t all the same?” The answer to this question would be through the environments which each individual is raised in. The same argument could be used for identical twins. Just because the two look the same does not mean that they will react the same to all experiences. The reason for this is because, despite the same DNA and physical attributes, and despite however minor their environments may differ from one another, that minor difference will act upon them to shape their own specific personalities. The soul clearly is, as demonstrated through the counters and examples given, an independent, yet metaphysically bound entity, it is evident that while humans may exist within the same reality, their differences are vast, physical attributes unique to themselves and personalities independent of all others.

The Artist

The Artist


Winner of five Academy award and seven Bafta Award in 2012 including best film, best picture and best actor.  This movie showed that making movies is more based on idea and screenplay and not on the equipment.  In fact, this film is not a silent movie. There are lots of music on the soundtrack and also noises that are surprising and wildly illogical. The dirctor uses black and white and mute form to shows the atmosphere of the film more reality and near to the time of story.  The director uses this form to show the spirit of early French cinema than of the old Hollywood where the action takes place.  I recommend watching this movie to all of you

The Matrix

The Matrix 

What is matrix? Is it a movie? Is it a philosophy? Or something else? Thomas Anderson is a computer hacker. One day Morpheus enters in his life and he has to choose between two options. Reality which is Matrix or illusion life and never find out what reality is by taking red pill instead of blue in order to discover the truth. Do we exist or we are living in a illusion world? think about it: If we are not real, if nothing is real so what is real?
In fact The matrix is the 6th generation of computer programs which is created by Architect. The previous five generation had been destroyed due to technical issues and bugs. The time in the movie is year 2199 and not 1999. Thomas Anderson (Neo) is the final saver of the world. At first he is a lonely computer hacker with depression signs, then he transforms to the Neo. There are lots of religious references in movies. Xion, Last saver, and fight between good and bad. Even Neo's cloths is based on priests uniforms. There is also the Tao's philosophy that the more I try to understand the less I know. Hiduism: The world recycling itself, stopping and starting again. Then there are the seven that will repopulate Xion (Which makes me think of the Zionist movement) and the seven that repopulated the world after the flood. Seven is just a religious number anyway. Then there are science related quesitons, parallel universes, multiverses.
Neo saves the Zion, which is the the last place of all human being. Remember that it's year 2199 and robats destroyed all cities and humans. They use fetus as batteries in human farms for their factories. In the movie it's called "Machine City". Agent smith and his group are the viruses of the Matrix. They are the people who try to stop the Matrix and prevent the truth being found. This level of interest is not primarily due to The Matrix’s visual innovations, such as its use of bullet-time photography. Nor is it, for example, Keanu Reeves’s acting that cries out for more critical discussion. Rather, it’s the philosophical, spiritual, and moral implications of this phenomenally popular action pic that are responsible for all the attention.
Interpretations of The Matrix differ widely. There are some who see the film as a neo-gnostic fable, an allegory of Eastern world-denying thought, in which the known world is perceived by an elite few as an illusory dream-prison from which we must escape. There are also some who watch it as a veritable Christian parable, in which mankind is born into slavery until the arrival of the promised One who will bring liberation to all. However, it still seems to me to make sense to begin discussion with the first film considered on its own. As useful as the sequels are for understanding how the Wachowski brothers today see the storyline of the first film developing, represents a separate creative act, and its indeterminacy is an important part of its widespread appeal and diverse interpretations.
"Welcome to the real world." First and foremost, although The Matrix depicts a world very much like our world as an illusion and a prison, it does notdepict liberation or freedom from that illusion as escape from physicality into a state of disembodied happiness. On the contrary, the "real world" depicted in the film is even more intractably physical, and far more disturbing, than the illusions of the Matrix.
In fact, it’s precisely in the Matrix, not outside of it, that Neo and Morpheus and the others leave behind their real physical bodies and escape, at least partially, the constraints of gravity and other physical laws. Yet the film is quite clear that it’s the quasi-disembodied state of the Matrix that’s the prison, and the real, physical, bodily world, frightening as it is, that represents freedom.
The film also establishes that, even while in the Matrix, the heroes remain inseparably dependent upon their physical bodies in the physical world. The importance of the body is graphically illustrated in a scene in which a character in the Matrix is prevented from returning to the real world when her body is forcibly unplugged from the Matrix. From a gnostic perspective, we might expect this to be the character’s moment of liberation from the prison of the body. Instead, she dies. This is hardly a gnostic repudiation of the body.The Matrix trilogy made a revolution in cinema's history based on it's idea and techniques. After that we saw lots of movie with Matrixy techniques. The Matrix trilogy introduces lots of ideas about philosophy, computer, education and the other field of science. I really recommend you to watch this movie if you like to see a diffrent point of view in movies.
