 Absentia movie and Philosophical talk 


I Just watched 'Absentia' yesterday. And, I can see a parable to Platonic works of philosophy and many others. The viewer (you) sees reality using their naturally evolved senses, or created, depending on your beliefs, to form their reality. So, the Viewer has a past event that effects them negatively, and when it effects them in that way, that is when  their brain is trying to processes the memories and emotions attached to that event. This might be real to the Viewer, but is it really what happens? Memory is not, truly, factual past information of events as they occurred, it is what the Viewer took in through there senses and nervous system, and it is being re developed in their mind over and over. Say 3 people saw this event that effected the Viewer. They see it 3 different ways, and the event never happened the way it seemed to the Viewer. In fact, it happens 4 different ways, now. And not how the Viewer "pictured" it, at all.  Four different past realities, which is the real one? So, to make this short. People are effected by events in their past. That might not have even happened in "reality", but their mind processed it as fact. Mistaking, say, a smile, as a grin. Causing pain and strife in that persons life for years, because they misinterpreted the event, or "reality". Reality, is what you get when the brain strains to place, in an order, understandable to our brains architecture, the inputs from the senses, or nervous system. It can and does glitch. So, move past the skeletons in the closet or past events that make you feel at odds with yourself. REBIRTH is needed. You cannot solidify past events, as you do current ones, both are not "accurate", but one is accurate enough to get us through the day. Memories will always differ from the true source material that was initially taken in to the mind. Go watch!


OOOO- 4/5
