We should probably just delete this thread. I heard someone say it's "not even a real movie," so maybe we shouldn't waste our time here...

Just saw this! ❤️

Oh, and the fact that people who haven't even seen the film are the ones "reviewing" it? Yeah, that just screams pure intelligence.

It’s not senseless at all! To me, it's about love and accepting yourself exactly where you are, without all that wandering through "metaverses" of what-if destinies.
I think it's a genijalan film, though I guess it's definitely not for everyone—you can tell just by reading the comments.

One thing that's pretty clear from our comments here is that everyone experiences movies in such different ways... which is totally fine, I guess. 🙂

btw. But when it comes to dropping labels like "užasan film" or "Trešin na kvadrat" or "genijalan film".... you should probably at least watch the movie first.

My movie reviews after watching barely half a film are always totally realistic.

northerncrane4 said:It’s just amateurish posturing—trying to compare things that aren't comparable. You might as well say a film = a bowl of stew. 😵

Got it! I'm ready to go. Just send over the posts whenever you're set!

northerncrane4 said:Total nonsense. A film is a film—an image lacks any sense of temporal narrative.

It’s about how complete everything feels, not about comparing structures. (I guess your comment was pretty unnecessary anyway)

Watched it yesterday, and man, it’s honestly one of the best and most original movies ever made.
It isn't about the metaverse or any of those other nonsense topics people keep bringing up in the comments here. It isn't even an action movie, despite how much action it seems to have on the surface; it's really just about love and acceptance.

You really need to sit down and watch the whole thing from start to finish without distractions, because that first hour is total chaos... but there's a reason for that. Trying to watch it in bits and pieces (which I guess has become a huge thing lately) is totally pointless. A film is like a painting—you can't just look at half a painting and claim you've seen it. 🙂
My advice: just dive in headfirst. It's such a miracle of a film.

Did you even bother reading the forum guidelines?

Of course I did, but I tried anyway. (I guess I'm probably gonna get a penalty now since I confessed!) 🙂
Rules change over time, you know? Maybe loosen things up a bit—there's no reason to be so strict. One day you're a daisy, the next you're a rose... maybe you just want a change!

Hey, could you change my username to: EverythingIsFine

Alright, let's just keep it simple and skip the unsolvable puzzles for a second.
I honestly think there’s just one single cause for depression, much like how humanity has one root problem at its core.
Sure, the phrase "human nature" doesn't really mean anything all by itself.
To actually talk about it, you kind of have to roll up your sleeves and tackle it head-on. I guess just denying it exists is really just showing how little we actually know about it. 🙂

So, if depression is just a physiological thing, then what's the big deal?
Standard medicine would just fix it... and boom, depression's gone.
And who's even talking about "mystical" experiences? I mean, we're talking about the actual nature of being human here, not some mystical stuff.

Do people with certain mental illnesses have an inflated ego?

That sounds easy enough to say, maybe even a bit too simple. 🙂
Is that just your own experience speaking, or is it faith? I mean, if we’re all His children, where is He actually located? I guess maybe He’s just existing in some other dimension while we live our lives parallel to Him? But then... wouldn't that basically be polytheism? Can anything really exist alongside Him or outside of Him? Is He the object or the subject? Honestly, I have hundreds of questions swirling around...
Just show me the way. That’s really all that matters.

What’s even the point of correcting someone when they're just sharing their own version of things? Everyone's got their own take, I guess. So, I'm just sending out some love instead! 🙂

So why does it even matter if we wrap this up here? Is it really that vital to decide if there are people on this forum who have actually seen the truth? Who is this even for—is it just about someone's ego? I don't get it.
Copy-pasting isn't a crime, I guess, especially if it comes from actual experience. For what it's worth, I'd say there is one person here living in the truth, and we know exactly who that is. You.
Because honestly, trying to act like the judge of who's real and who isn't... maybe only He can do that, since He's the one who pulled back the veil. 🙂

Praise be to God, whose unity was there before anything else—except that what came before was actually Him—and after whose unity nothing follows, except that what follows is Him. He just is. For Him, there’s no before or after, no above or below, no near or far. There isn't even merging or splitting, or how, where, when, or any sense of time, space, or existence. He simply is, just as He always was. He is one without needing a concept of unity, and unique without needing a definition. You can't separate Him from a name or a description because His name is just Himself, and the thing being described is just Him. So, really, there is no name or object outside of Him, because He is both the name and the thing itself. He is the beginning without being "first," and the end without being "last." He is the exterior without being "outside" and the interior without being "inside." I guess what I mean is that He is the very essence of the first, the last, the outer, and the inner. In a way, there is no first, last, inside, or outside except Him, but those things don't become Him, nor does He become them.

So, please, try to understand this so you don't get tripped up: He isn't "in" things, and things aren't "in" Him. It's not about things coming in or going out. To truly know Him, you can't rely on knowledge, logic, thinking, mental images, or even your senses—not through your physical eyes or your intuition or any kind of observation. Nothing sees Him except Himself; nothing perceives Him except Himself. Only through himself does He see himself, and only through himself does He know himself. No one sees Him but Him, and no one perceives Him but Him. His veil is just a tiny sliver of his unity; nothing covers Him except Himself. That veil is basically just His existence hiding within His own featureless unity. No one sees Him but Him—not some messenger or prophet, not a perfect saint, not even an angel close to Him. No one knows Him. His prophet is Himself, His message is Himself, and His word is Himself. He sent Himself, through Himself, from Himself, to Himself. There wasn't any middleman or any cause other than Him. There's no real difference between the sender and the sent, or the sent and the receiver.
That's why the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever knows himself, knows his Lord." And he also said (peace be upon him): "I know my Lord through my Lord." The Prophet (peace be upon him) is pointing out that you aren't really "you." You are Him, without the "you" part. It's not like He enters you or you enter Him, or that He flows out of you or you flow out of Him. What I'm trying to say is that you aren't some existing entity or a collection of traits. Actually, it's more like you never were, and you never will be—not through yourself, not through Him, not in Him, and not with Him. It's not that you stop existing or stay existing. You are Him, without any of those limits. So, if you know your existence this way, then you know God; if you don't, you just don't.

Most people who claim to "know God" make a huge mistake. They think they have to negate existence or negate that negation to reach God, but that's just a total delusion. Knowing God isn't about negating existence, nor is it about stopping that negation. See, things don't actually have an existence of their own, and something that doesn't exist can't exactly "stop" existing. If you try to negate something, you're assuming that "existence" is its own thing, which is basically just idolatry. I guess if you know himself without needing to negate existence, then you know God. Otherwise, you don't.
Ibn Arabi

Just chew on that for a bit. 🙂

Look, Jack, you're making this way more complicated than it needs to be. Sorry, I just have to say it.
Let's just set aside the universe, the Creator's dream, and even that ultimate concept we call the Creator.
The biggest headache of all is that whole "dream within a dream" idea. But honestly, let's just drop it—it’s just a drain on your energy and focus.
Maybe we should just ask ourselves, "Who am I? Am I just the person aware of my thoughts, feelings, and senses? Does my 'Self' actually depend on them?"
And what about those old sayings, like how "the kingdom of heaven is within you," or the idea that "what we're searching for is the very place we're searching from"?
Or even that line from the prophet: "He who does not know himself, does not know God."
Are these just deep metaphysical metaphors meant only for a chosen few?
No need to overthink it, though. Let's just lay all the cards on the table.
It's just us. Love. 🙂

Jack, no... the universe isn't that dream, and there's no bigger "issue" than this.
Actually, I guess there isn't even another problem besides this one. It's just waking up and realizing that you are the only "problem."
Everyone is searching for it, whether they realize it or just feel it instinctively.
