    When I saw this movie, the first time, it knocked me across the room.  It was the most powerful experience.

    • I have seen the entire Matrix series before and you are absolutely correct when you say you miss a crucial point with a blink of your eye.
      But such movies are not for everyone. Only a limited section of viewers will be able to correlate the events together.
      I loved watching it though it required loads of concentration and mental ability.

      • Less intelligent people can see a kind of ‘kung fu’ movie, and still enjoy it… but not as much as those who know what they are seeing.

        • there is a very big difference between seeing and understanding. The second ones stand far ahead of the first ones.

          • What made the movie so important to me was that I was a hacker, so I was already in Neo’s shoes, and had often had this sense of The Matrix. I’d read Alice, knew Plato’s analogy of the Cave. For those who only saw a Sci-Fi show, they missed so much. We used to debate the meaning of the Matrix, the names chosen for the characters, and watched all three of the Matrix more than once.

    • This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies, and I believe it is one of the best Sci-Fi movies made so far!

    Americans are sharply divided these days. The irony is that I actually thought we were seriously divided when Obama was in office.  But ever since Trump ran, won and took office I have heard nothing but yelling […]

    • I’m not American nor do I live in America so I probably shouldn’t be commenting here but I couldn’t resist because I saw the tweets of the people on my timeline and they were outraged. Everyday, Trump signs on something and it outrages people.

      I think Trump would be one of most hated Presidents of America in history if he continue to act rashly. He’s changing things too rapidly without consulting his public and the result is the outrage of his people.

      I mean, people even celebs who DON’T normally comments on politics are speaking out and those rallies at airports and on the streets are saying something. He should try to connect with his public humbly and discuss why he want these changes that he’s actively doing. All I see on his twitter is hate and continues blaming of all the wrongs he sees.

      It’s sad and scary to see America this way. Hopefully things will turn around for the better and all the hate and divide you’re all going through right now will turn into unity and peace.

      • Each say I don’t know what to expect. But I expect something!

        By the way, it’s perfectly fine for non-Americans to comment. Decisions made in this country’s Oval Office have far-reaching impact. Every citizen in every country has the right to be concerned and should have a voice. If you heard gunshots in your neighbor’s house, would you say nothing or would you call the police? If a leader of another country was or is making decisions that could reach wherever you are and have an adverse effect, should you not speak on the matter?

    My dad used to like eggplant so much. He used to have it cooked in meat dishes. He could even eat them without meat. For me i used to find them very yucky, i didn’t like them. I can stand the taste of cucumber but not the taste of egg plants. They taste soggy to me. I didn’t know however that they lower the blood pressure. Thanks cely for that thought.

    • There was no abuse. Jasmine’s psycho-therapist put those false memories in her mind. That is why even if her brother agreed/apologised there would be no closure. It is like you accusing me of kicking your dog after a psychologist tells you that the reason you feel so upset is because I kicked your dog.

      But it’s impossible, and although you might repeat the accusation, deep down you know it isn’t true. That is the same with Jasmine.

    • I believe we have a “memory vault” where the things that happen to us, and that contribute to who we are, are placed. Bad memories can get buried in self defense. Sadly they pop up when a person is triggered by new memories in their lives. We should use them as a teaching tool and then put them back. I don’t think you can clear the memory vault. I wish you could, but good or bad it is part of who you are.

    • It’s so sad that now, he will be on his own and I hope the mother will train him already to be independent before she also leaves this world.

      I am happy that we were able to raise our only child, now a 26-year-old ladydoctor, specializing in General Surgery, to be independent as early as when she went to high school.

      We didn’t pamper her with a lot of things, but we pamper her with good teachings necessary for equipping herself to be independent.

      She grew up so independent, that I cannot feel at times that my guidance isn’t needed anymore.

      • Exactly!! The reason she is successful is because of the independence. She knew she had to make it on her own, and she did. I know my children don’t ‘Need’ me. They can manage without me. And I am proud of that.

    • To raise a child who can leave home and be successful, that is the greatest parenting. You can’t raise a child who needs you, who will always need you… will always be a child.

    Just last Friday, January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump of the United States,  issued an executive order banning travel to the United States from seven majority Muslim countries.  These countries are; S […]

    • I don’t disagree with the list of countries. I only agree ~ scratch that ~ I am only not arguing about or even discussing the ban because the POTUS said it is just for 90 days.

      I don’t agree with your questions at all. Not saying they shouldn’t be asked. It’s just not questions I would ask. Actually, I don’t really have any questions because … Trump said 90 days! It’s his timetable or timeline. He set it.

      Evidently at the end of that period uuumm ________. What goes in that blank? Oh! I know! What’s everybody’s favorite words these days? “Wait and see!!”

      • Considering the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, why isn’t that country on the List? What about Pakistan? Afghanistan?

    • As far the Executive Order is concerned we have to observe that it has got a life of 90 days only ie., just 3 months. The list of countries with Muslim majority included in it are 7. Unfortunately or otherwise, the list excludes the names of Saudi Arabia and also Egypt. Why the names have been excluded whether it is deliberate or an act of ‘oversight’ can not be said basing on the fact that Mr. Trump is a business man. We can not say that he has got business interest in his hotels and does require the patronage of the Saudi king. Had it been so, the name of Egypt is also not on the list. Egypt is under a brutal dictator. The leader of 9/11 attackers was an Egyptian. Has he to learn anything from him? A big question. Does he require a warm relationship with the General Abdel Fattah? The chances are remote for conclusions to arrive at.
      But, we should not forget to observe that the names of the 7 countries included in the list were already flagged by Mr. Obama’s Administration titled under ‘COUNTRIES OF CONCERN’.
      Why has Mr.Obama not issued an Executive Order like Mr. Donald Trump is not known?
      Has he dodged the action?
      Was he not interested in furthering action?
      Didn’t Obama like to face a delicate situation by issuing an order like his successor?
      Is Mr. Obama really heartened by the Immigration Ban Order of Mr. Trump as expressed in his first statement after leaving the office?
      Is Mr. Donald overenthusiastic in passing the order?
      These are the mutable points before arriving at any decision as there are no conclusive evidence to attribute reasons for eliminating the names of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

      • Trump has interests in Saudi Arabia. He admitted such during the campaign. He has business connections in other places, so one can not shrug and assume an ‘oversight’. That these countries were ‘flagged’ ought have been examined as to why.

    That he is stupid, yes.  Short sighted, certainly.  That he doesn’t think of consequences, exactly.
