If you're reading this, you probably already saw the movie. If you haven't seen it, don't read this.
I really enjoyed the movie even though I'm not quite sure what its about. I have some ideas but they don't make any sense all put together.
Most people complain about not understanding and lack of explanation, but no one seems to mention the fact that the "Diary Entry" by Jim is not being read out loud exactly as written in the movie. I had to pause at the diary entry close up and typed it up to try to analyze it but cant make any sense of it, maybe someone else can.
The "Spoken" version of the letter goes as follows:
Last night I dreamt I was laid to slumber on the hands of children They whispered in my ear and the words were familiar The kingdom of heaven is near And if anyone should offer their soul to one of these children He will deliver those who through fear were subject to slavery all their lives
The "Written" version goes as follows:
Last night I dreamt I was laid to slumber on the hands of children They whispered in my ear and the words were familiar; "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death and as you go, preach this message" "The kingdom of heaven is near And if anyone should offer their soul to one of these children He, through death, will deliver those who through fear were subject to slavery all their lives"
The whispered words are from the bible passage mark 13:12 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death." The other passage is Hebrews 2:15 "might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives" (i found this at a website and it explains about slavery "If we think we have to earn our way to heaven by our good works, we will live in fear of death wondering if we were good enough. If we think that we get to heaven by faith alone, then our good works are done out of a heart of gratitude rather than fear")
In the movie "Dawson" tells his wife that its not only who we are or what we do, that the children feed off of our thoughts so maybe the fact that she found that safe place where she would devote herself entirely to her children helped prove that there was still hope, hence the book in the child's pocket "there is still hope"
Well, I'm not a writer by no means, my grammar, spelling and punctuation are horrible so I hope that what I've typed makes sense.
Any input or ideas as to what exactly went on in this movie would be greatly appreciated.
