I wrote out my thoughts after I got back from the movies - watching "Serenity"; here they are:
A view on culture of humanity
The new film Serenity contains, mixed in with excellent fight scenes and some humor, an amazing thought process that should be considered by everyoneon Earth. There are actually a few themes that run throughout this movie, which add to its impact.
1. Humans are fallen and, without some outside influence, would fall into a deep current of selfishness and a lust for control, so strong that they would destroy themselves in a quest for more.
2. When in a leadership role it is important to know the reasons for a misssion or project, in order to know whether it is morally wrong or not, rather than blind obedience.
I don't care if you agree that there was some sort of moral to this film or not, but I found this to be one of the most amazing films I have ever seen.
This film broke it's way to my number 1 on the first viewing (tonight 45 minutes ago) because of an amazing story line, a deep message and some awesome fight scenes. This movie smashed StarwarsIII (though not one of my favorites, it was big this year) and it respectfully wins out over Batman Begins.
