Spiritual Movie Review - How Did This Hit Man Movie Make the List of Best Spiritual Movies?

50 Spiritual Movies: "Spiritual Movie Review - Collateral
How Did This HitMan Movie Make the List of Best Spiritual Movies??
by Bob Kish of wealthvibes.com


How does a movie about a hitman make a spiritual movie list? Like a good hit man it sort of creeps up on you and takes you by surprise. There have been other hitman movies that could contend for a place on a spritual movie list - Road to Perdition and Leon the Professional come to mind. In this case, Collateral is not only a slick typical Michael Mann production with a fast pace, hypnotic soundtrack and crisp acting but it is at the same time a moving story about dreams deferred. A story that will make you ponder your own life. And that ability to make you look at where you are at in your own life is what contributes to making it a spiritual film.
Tom Cruise is the silver-fox hitman Vincent that hops in Max's (Jamie Foxx) cab and proceeds to use him as the driver in an overnight L.A. killing spree. But he also pushes Max to start thinking about his own life and why he hasn't pursued the dreams that he's had.
What is spiritual about this movie? Though steeped in violence there is a cutting undercurrent of hope that beats throughout. The metaphorical long dark night of the soul becomes a literal one for Max. By the same token it becomes the catalyst that he needs to reexamine his own life and by transference a catalyst that we can use to reexamine our lives as well. Are we where we want to be? Are we following our own dreams? If not, what are we waiting for - someone to put a gun to our heads? :)
Memorable Lines:
Max: First time in L.A.?
Vincent: No. Tell you the truth, whenever I'm here I can't wait to leave. It's too sprawled out, disconnected. You know? That's me. You like it?
Max: It's my home.
Vincent: 17 million people. This is go"

What Two Secrets Can You Apply to Turn Every Movie You Watch into a Spiritual Experience?
by Bob Kish of WealthVibes.com


There are two things you can do to transform Every movie you watch into an opportunity for spiritual growth and learning. What are they?

Before revealing the secrets of turning simple cinema into spiritual cinema you might want to examine your movie watching tendencies. What are your favorite movies? Do you prefer romance, comedy, sci-fi, adventure, westerns, etc.?

While these movie watching secrets can be applied to any movie, it is important to remember that what you put into your mind helps to shape your reality and view of the world. With that in mind, why not choose movies that will motivate and inspire you?

Though a steady diet of horror or crime films might excite you, they might also leave you with a view of the world that is less than stellar. A negative outlook on life will not help you in your interactions with others or in your quest for achieving what you truly desire in life.

On the other hand, watching motivational and inspirational movies can help spur you to improve your own life and the lives of others. So, the next time you go to watch a movie, why not make it a film that will uplift or inspire you - or at the least bring you some joy?

Your choice of movie will make applying the following secrets easier to implement. (Remember, though they can work with any movie).

THE FIRST SECRET

What is the first secret to turning any movie you watch into a spiritual experience?

It is simple but powerful. Before the movie begins close your eyes and ask your mind or subconscious to pick out and remember any aspects of the film that you can use and apply in your own life to make yo"

Retreat and Surrender?

: "Everyone needs a spiritual retreat now and then. A spiritual retreat is more than just a vacation.

A typical vacation may leave you feeling more burned out than when you left - often from rushing back and forth while trying to squeeze as many sites as possible into a short timeframe.

A true spiritual vacation on the other hand is a retreat from all the hustle and bustle. A time for renewal and regeneration of spirit, mind and body.

With the goal in mind of renewal there are a number of spiritual retreats that you can do - from two hours to two weeks or longer depending on how much time you choose to make. (notice I didn't say depending on how much time you can spare - with the hectic schedules these days many folks don't have any spare time. So, make the time...) :)

What is Your Idea of the Ultimate Spiritual Retreat?

Part of the fun of a spiritual retreat is the planning stage. Think about what would relax and regenerate You. Incorporate things or events into the plan that will accomplish this.

A spiritual retreat might be something that you want to do alone. Alone you'll find more time for contemplation and far less distractions.

On the other hand, there are groups that get together to make spiritual pilgrimages, attend motivational functions and the like. These too are beneficial.

Here are some suggestions for a spiritual vacation that can be a time of healing and renewal.

1) Go to a place that represents spiritual power for you

2) Immerse yourself in a place of natural beauty - i.e., Sedona, Chaco Canyon, Yellowstone, any wilderness area, or beach area, etc. You can swim with the dolphins in many parts of the world, including Hawaii, where you can even lodge with other group members.

3) Take along meditation, relaxation, motivat"

The Best Gift to Give Yourself and Others

The Best Gift to Give Yourself and Others

by Jim Rohn

I'm often asked the question, "How can I best help my children, spouse, family member, staff member, friend etc. improve/change?" In fact that might be the most frequently asked question I receive, "How can I help change someone else?"

My answer often comes as a surprise and here it is. The key to helping others is to help yourself first. In other words, the best contribution I can make to someone else is my own personal development. If I become 10 times wiser, 10 times stronger, think of what that will do for my adventure as a father... as a grandfather... as a business colleague.

The best gift I can give to you, really, is my ongoing personal development. Getting better, getting stronger, becoming wiser. I think parents should pick this valuable philosophy up. If the parents are okay, the kids have an excellent chance of being okay. Work on your personal development as parents; that's the best gift you can give to your children.

If you have ever ridden in an airplane, then you might have noticed the oxygen compartment located above every seat. There are explicit instructions that say "In case of an emergency, first secure your own oxygen mask and then if you have children with you then secure their masks." Take care of yourself first... then assist your children. If we use that same philosophy throughout our whole parental life, it would be so valuable.

If I learn to create happiness for myself, my children now have an excellent chance to be happy. If I create a unique lifestyle for myself and my spouse, that will be a great example to serve my children.

Self-development enables you to serve, to be more valuable to those around you; for your child... your business... your colleague... your community... your church.

That's why I teach development skills. If you keep refining all the parts of your character, yourself, your health, etc. so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace - you'll attract opportunity. Opportunity will then begin to seek you out. Your reputation will begin to precede you and people will want to do business with you. All of that possibility is created by working on the philosophy that success is something you attract by continually working on your own personal development.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

What Happened to Jeff Bridges Hair? An Out of This World Tale...

What Happened to Jeff Bridges Hair? An Out of This World Tale...

by Bob Kish of http://www.50SpiritualMovies.com
and http://www.spiritual-experience.com


John Carpenter's 1984 film Starman earned an Oscar nomination for Jeff Bridges as best actor. And, deservedly so. Bridges plays an alien who comes to earth and takes form as a widow's (Karen Allen) dead husband. When he first comes to life you think he might be one of those rare breed of mentally-challenged aliens. Alas, it's just a case of the alien adapting to his new body and environment.

The love relationship between Allen and Bridges blossoms as he attempts to evade government agents via car enroute to Arizona. One of the reasons it does develop is that Karen Allen's character gets to see just what a loving creature this alien is. A powerful scene that encapsulates the alien's reverence for all life involves a deer that some hunters have killed and left in the back of their truck while stopped at a diner.

What is uplifting about this movie? Jeff Bridges hair.

Okay, okay, let me explain. At one point Bridges' character releases one of his "power spheres." After doing so his hair stands on end and his face has this other worldly glow. The picture is ridiculous and bizarre at the same time and in an ironic aside reminded me of his dear old dad Lloyd in that legendary spiritual experience called "Airplane" striking a similar pose accompanied with the immortal quip, "It's a bad day to give up sniffing glue..."

A bad day to give up sniffin' glue indeed!

What is spiritual about this movie?

The gentle loving spirit of the alien lifts this sci-fi story into the spiritual category. Although the alien story is overshadowed by the love-story both work well. Starman is a must have addition to any spiritual cinema collection. Check out Starman today.

Stuck in the Rat-Race Without any Cheese? Then you might need...

by Bob Kish of http://www.wealthvibes.com
and http://www.spiritual-experience.com

Do you ever feel stuck in life? Like you're just going through the motions? Stuck in the rat race without any cheese? Is Life getting a little too serious? Maybe you need The Game to wake you up.Nicholas Van Orten did.

Michael Douglas is wealthy investment banker Nicholas Van Orten. Nicholas is like one of those zombies from Dawn of the Dead wandering around in his expensive suits stuck in the drab routine of a dreary life.

His younger brother played by Sean Penn gives him the gift of the Game to inject some "life" into him. The game is touted as an experiential game where you'll never know what happens next. And despite the havoc it causes it does inject some much needed excitement into his "life."

As Douglas gets embroiled in the game he begins to suspect that it may be a grand con designed to milk his wealth dry. Which in turn makes the game even more dangerous and entertaining.
Is it all a deception or a con or a little of both? For that answer play The Game in a dvd unit near you.

What is spiritual about this movie?

The Game is the kick in the pants that Nicholas Van Orton needed to get about actually living his life.

Our lives our often compared to a game. Are you playing it or are you just the little gamepiece being manipulated on the board by someone or something else? What is the kick in the pants you need to start turning it into a game you want to play every minute?

A Little Magic in the Middle of the Desert - Spiritual Cinema Review of Bagdad Cafe

A Little Magic in the Middle of the Desert

by Bob Kish of http://www.wealthvibes.com and
http://www.spiritual-experience.com

Bagdad Cafe is an oasis in the desert. That is if you like your oasis's in the mold of run down gas stations/cafes/motels where it's tough to find a real cup of joe. What you will find it stocked with is a ready band of eccentric characters willing to make you not only forget the desolate surroundings but even appreciate it.

One of those characters is a German tourist named Jasmin (Marianne Sägebrecht). She had ambled away from her husband in the middle of the Mojave and found refuge at the Bagdad. Initially there was a bit of friction with Brenda (CCH Pounder) who runs the Bagdad Gas and Oil Cafe. But gradually Brenda begins to appreciate her.

In fact, Jasmin's exotic spirit infuses magic into the dusty lifeless Bagdad both literally and figuratively. She begins to perform magic that brings in truckers from miles around and she forms solid relationships with the Bagdad regulars including a laid back artist played by Jack Palance.

What is spiritual about this movie? Jasmin was fearless. She was like an alien on another planet who in short order not only learned to blend in and live with the inhabitants but became indispensable to them. In a sense she became the heart and soul of Bagdad. Her easy manner of bonding with others may cause you to reflect about the friendships in your life. Is there a group of people who consider you indispensable? If not, what might you do to create one?
