Heart of the Beast





Heart of the Beast


This past weekend I saw Heart of the Beast, the new Brad Pitt film.  This film analyzes the connection between man, dog, and/or pet.  Where does our relationship end with our pets?  When is the end?  Are they part of the family, or do they just hang around?  What do we know?  I don't really know what we know.  


This film shows that the relationship between man and dog can be a complicated and deep one.  How far are you willing to sacrifice your life for your pet? Our pets depend on us more than we know.  They are like our children.  How far would we go for our pets?


This film is full of emotion and survival instincts.  Mark Wahlberg plays an Iraqi vet who has come back with his dog after retirement.  They are in Alaska discovering nature on a seaplane when a storm is coming; they therefore decide to leave and fly through the weather to beat the storm.  Wahlberg's character has a heart attack, and the plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness.  This is an ultimate survival movie and what you would do for your pet.  


It gives us peace to know that we can get through any storm, especially with Christ, but how much do we do for others?  Are we putting others above ourselves?  Or do we just look at ourselves for comfort?  We are called to help others; are we doing that?  


I know pets aren't the same as family members, but I know many of you think that.  What would you do for your pet if you were stranded and only had your pet for survival?  

I would think many of us would try to survive and to take care of our pet like a child.  


I would recommend this film for anyone who is interested in finding the bond between man and pet.  This shows the ultimate survival instincts we have within ourselves and also in our pets.

Nuremberg review

   This is a new story that analyzes the relationship between Douglas Kelley and Hermann Göring.  The film deals with the other suspects, but in a very small way.  The performances are spectacular.  Russel Crowe gives humanity to this monster of a man, Hermann Göring.   I was fascinated of how this monster could have a relationship with a psychiatrist in Douglas Kelley, who is played by Remi Malik.  The film shows the relationship between these 2 men and how they were trying to represent their countries over all view at the time.   The only conflict I see with any of the characters is how Goring didn't have emotion for other families that died, but still loved his own family and cared about them so much.  That is what a narcissist does.   It shows that Goring had disdain for his own family; his uncle was Jewish, but Goring would never admit it.  How his uncle took advantage of the Goring family when they were poor....

Revisiting Facing the Giants

  Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7279051 Hello everyone,  I know this film has been analyzed and critiqued to death, but I thought I would give it a rewatch 19 years later.  Everyone commented on how the student at the beginning of the film transferred, and how it was a Christian School; the address doesn't matter, as it is a private school, so anyone can attend.  I think the filmmakers were trying to come up with a reason why or how they could have a student transfer to another school, and that is what they came up with.   Also, Coach Taylor is struggling with his finances, his car, the dryer doesn't work, and the house smells funny.  This is relatable to all of us, especially if we are going through a hard time.   When Coach Taylor is talking to his coaches in his office, the coaches comment that they will have another average season.  Then Coach Taylor says I am so sick of average seasons.  It brought up a t...

Hey everyone sorry it took me so long to get another one of these out but here is your category film collection series.  The top 5 Bill Murray films to date.  Yes there will be many that will be left out so please put your comments a the bottom of the blog.   1.  Meatballs  This film is my favorite because it has all the fun that we had at camp and Bill is a little outrageous, and it is also a fun movie all around.  It has a little language and adult situations for parents out there.   But it is a fun film. 2. Ghostbusters  2, Ghostbusters the film that started my interest Bill Murray.  This is probably the best Bill Murray film but I really like Meatballs.  When I saw this film I loved Bill Murray instantly.  It was the first film I saw with him.  I loved the "He slimed me" line from the film.  My friends and I at grade school always loved talking about Ghostbusters it just is fun and it was a phenomenon.  ...
