The story tells us that ...Just what I was thinking. The story tells us that creation fails because we try to be gods. The aliens played the biological engineering card, whereas we played the AI card. This explains why the universe is so quiet. We basically self-destruct. The film is based on Micheal R Burch's interpretation of Blake: "Blake did not see the Creator as being an all-wise God, but rather as Urizen, the demiurge, a "self-deluded and anxious" forger of pre-existent matter. In other words, Jehovah was Satan, the slavemaster of humans, a repressive father, and the "Accuser of the World." Blake shared with the Gnostics a belief that the "Fall" was not the fault of man, but of man's impetuous and incompetent Creator." <br />I do not like this because when I saw The Grey, which is also based on Blake, it blew me away. Blake was a devil worshipper. I felt equally numb, and I do not need the half-arsed ideas of this film helping me to recover from depression - something you get a lot of if you understand Blake. There is no beauty in this film. And I quote Shelly: Its calm – "to one who worships thee,<br />And every form containing thee,<br />Whom, Spirit fair, thy spells did bind<br />To fear himself, and love all human kind."Simon Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619521398965742646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674871730026898132.post-26807559298440781792017-05-29T13:09:23.540-07:002017-05-29T13:09:23.540-07:00Well said.

I have enjoyed a lot of flawed movies that have positive or great moments, but there really is nothing that stands out or to love in this film.Gabriel Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17238335475199118074noreply@blogger.com
