OK, so I saw the movie Transformers last night. I was opening the mail and noticed that it had come in from Netflix. After hearing from everyone and I mean everyone, that it was the greatest movie ever, I figured I would watch it. Though I knew after seeing the run time of the movie, 2 hours and 20 minutes (I never watch a movie without first looking at how much time I will have to sit still) that this was going to be difficult. So it took me two nights to get through it, but I did . . . barely. All I have to say is that if it wasn't for this hot chick I don't know if I would have made it through. I found it to be a very boring movie overall.
This gets me to thinking. Am I out of touch with the movie culture? Should I be impressed with a bunch of cartoon like machines changing back and forth? Am I missing out because I saw it on my 32" TV and not at the movies? Is this a sign that I am getting old? Is it gay that I actually like movies with a story, dialogue, and character development?
Thankfully, not all was lost. The ending credits were awesome!!! The song "What I've Done" by
Maybe after listening to this song I was starting to understand the message of the whole movie. Maybe it is time to stop blaming others, stop the cycle of violence against each other, and accept the consequences of our actions. It is time for me not only to forgive others but once and for all to forgive myself for the mistakes I have made.
This song is about redemption and about asking forgiveness and forgiving ourselves and others for mistakes that have been made. We all are imperfect and make mistakes and that is how we are suppose to learn, but the world is unforgiving and we cannot erase ourselves from the world. It is only after we show God's love and forgiveness to the world and ask for forgiveness ourselves that we can be saved.
