| Well,
doesn't this movie give fodder to every con-artist who
want to profess to being legitimately psychic. After watching
this every Tom, Dick and Beatrice is running around saying,
"oh that was the story of my life". Yeah? Well, hey, take
a pill and get over it. Any psychic who really had to
grow up being a psychiatrist to the dead had that life.
The realities of being a kid who talks to dead things
are that it's tough, it's rough, it's scary, it's sad
sometimes, and yes - very exciting! But, most legitimate
psychics who did grow up like this don't talk about it;
particularly to loved one's much less on a public platform.
Like War Vets not talking about the horrible details of
gore splattered fields. It's also important to know that
not all psychics are able to actually talk to entities
of other dimensions-the dead- it is an ability of it's
own. Such as clairvoyance is a separate ability than precognition.
Psychics are usually gifted with one or two abilities
not all of them. |
The degree to which the child in the movie displayed and utilized
his abilities are actually more involved and called "Astral
Rescue Responsibilities" which is the ability to communicate
with entities and to counsel them in their spiritual educational
pursuits including interactions with entities of dimensions
other than their own (like us). Being a little kid counseling
the deceased is not easy-particularly when most other little
kids are only involved in Barbie clothes, kissing Ken, and ice-cream?
Psychic children who talk to dead things don't have anyone to
download their stress on - there isn't any professional debriefing
sessions going on at the park around the slide. This shouldn't
be trivialized, and it shouldn't be utilized as a means by which
con-artists and poseurs can use the story line to create mock
situations for their promotions to bag your bucks! But it is.
Anyhow, the movie made me physically ill. I had to leave the
theatre 3 times. Why - because it was an accurate depiction
of childhood psychism rolled up into a few hours of fairly well
written film. Did I like it? Did I love it? Actually I'm not
sure. It did scare me. I knew immediately that Bruce Willis
was a spiritual entity reaching out to the kid. Unfortunately,
I blurted this bit of info out - too loudly - and the other
members of the audience told me to hush it while others groaned.
It didn't help that the majority of the audience knew who I
was (yeah yeah I'm a celebrity) and were studiously watching
for my reaction to the movie. I recommend this movie to all.
It was well done. It shook me up and dumped my life on a table
for all to see. I'd perhaps rather have had my loved ones not
know - I'd rather have protected them from this peek into the
life of. Can't keep it all in the closet forever. |
