Sh*t Happens

What would you do if you knew exactly when all life on Earth will end? Will you do whatever you can to prevent it? Will you do everything to save yourself and your loved ones? Or will you accept your fate and believe that death is not the end?

These questions were answered in the movie Knowing, starring Nicholas Cage and directed by Alex Proyas, who also directed the movies, Dark City and I, Robot.

Knowing is a great movie. I recommend that you watch it in any means possible. (I downloaded it and watched it on my PC.) I liked the ending when Caleb and Abby were "implanted" in to a new planet. Like Adam and Eve in to the Garden of Eden.

One interesting note. The aliens in the movie resemble angels; and their ships are remarkably like the throne described in the Book of Ezekiel. So the question haunts us again: Are the gods described in the world's ancient religious writings actually aliens from another planet? But who can tell? We can debate all day long and we wouldn't arrive anywhere. For now it will be a matter of one's belief, of one's Faith. And that is what the movie is all about: "knowing" that somehow there is a better place for us after we left this sad, unforgiving world.
