Ok, so a friend of mine posted this video on their feed earlier today, and I just LOVE it.

The story goes like this: "Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world." And this is repeated in every episode lol I bet those who have watched it hear katara's voice very clearly in their head This is the cartoon series that I used to improve my english with and I've watched it several times. I was obsessed lol What I most love about it is the characters and how they all teach you something. There are moments that I think this is more appropriate for adults then kids because of its deep lessons. Some characters appear to be old souls. Like General Iroh, King Bumi, the main character Aang. I might be wrong though, since he's 12 years old. I also love the whole Zuko arc. Zuko is the son of fire lord ozai. Who hurt and banished him. only when he captures the avatar could he return home. It was a complete "hero's journey" and he changed a lot throughout the show. Besides characters, one episode caught my attention "the swamp" Avatar and his friends are flying over the swamp and aang hears a calling that they should land there. The swamp is very mysterious to them and they see visions of dead people close to them when they land. There are some people living there, and they protect the swamp. A fight occures because of a misunderstanding. And after it settles they talk. Here's the dialogue: "the swamp is a mystical place all right. It's sacred. I reached enlightenment right here under the banyan-grove tree. I heard it calling me, just like you did." "See this whole swamp is actually just one tree spread out over miles. Branches spread and sink, take root, and spread some more. One big, living organism. Just like the entire world." [Cuts back to Aang, looking at Huu. He is still openly skeptical.] I get how the tree is one big thing, but the whole world? "Sure. You think you're any different from me or your friends or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We're all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots and we are all branches of the same tree." But what did our visions mean? "In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to them. Time is an illusion and so is death."

We streamed this movie recently and liked it. A feel good film that is about life and love through the metaphor of gardening as a barren, vine-choking lot turns into a magical world of hollyhocks, delphiniums, and dahlias.Recommend if you’re looking for a different type of film than the usual. Here are a few links: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4560008/

***no spoilers & general comments*** recently watched the iconic 80s movie "flashdance" and it really struck me as a warrior essence story. the main character alex (jennifer beals) had clear boundaries. her determination to overcome dance limitations had a warrior's flair. the sexuality was earthy and blunt as warriors aren't shy about sex. not a talkative script like sage style writing.... theme was at a soul age of 2nd level young. just my aesthetic opinion.... I can see why it was popular. also the movie had a great soundtrack.

It's themed on the French Revolutionary ideals. I loved the many layers, little details and paralelisms thorough the trilogy. The soundtrack is another masterpiece by itself. In “Blue”, a famous music composer dies in a car accident, before finishing a concert score for the Unification of Europe. But people suspect that his wife was the one who made music for him. The movie is about her internal process towards emotional freedom. Liberty. “White” : a humble hairdresser is left by his wife in terrible circumstances, and he loses everything. With the help of an enygmatic man, he tries to get even with her. Equality. And finally, “Red”. So beautiful! After an incident, a college student befriends an old man who spies his neighbors’s phone calls. Both begin to know each other and there is a progressive bleedtrough from the man’s past experiences, to the girl’s reality. This final chapter also shows how all the trilogy's characters are connected. Fraternity. Enjoy! Then, I suggest watching something bubbly and fast-paced ?

One of the most multi level and PROFOUND movies I've ever seen. It hits me on so many levels. I've seen it 1000 times and encourage everyone I meet to watch it and see what it does to (for) them. and the color purple - so so so so beautiful The scene where shug confronts her father, the preacher , in song; who has committed righteous indignation towards her and cast her out.- 7 replies
