Sunshine (2007)
well, here we have a film that is an homage to our Logos. The majesty, might, and brilliance of our Logos is held in stark contrast to the humans that are on a mission to ostensibly 'save it'; and restart it. What, of course, is needed is that the humans themselves need to address their various distortions (distortions that are exposed in the film as various character flaws and emotional imbalances).
this quote came to mind about 30 min into the film:
until the light becomes too 'glaring' indeed. And this is depicted by various members of the crew visiting the observation deck, and seeing our Logos at a fraction of its full intensity, and having a 'spiritual experience'.
this is one interchange between crew members early on:
it's a very unusual sci-fi film, and one that mucks around with visuals and music and sound like another famous sci-fi flick - 2001 - to convey the high strangeness that happens when you start leaving the boundaries of consensus reality, and get closer to the godhead (our Logos).
the theme of positive service and negative service are apparent in the film; and yet all end up as one by plummeting back into the One Infinite One; the Creator of us all, and the sustainer of the experience through the Light (love) which is offerered freely to all as part of the self chosen free-willed experience.
Majestic.

Quote:6.14 Thus, the illusion is created of light, or more properly but less understandably, light/love. This is in varying degrees of intensity.
The spirit complex of each harvested entity moves along the line of light until the light grows too glaring, at which time the entity stops.
until the light becomes too 'glaring' indeed. And this is depicted by various members of the crew visiting the observation deck, and seeing our Logos at a fraction of its full intensity, and having a 'spiritual experience'.

Quote:Searle: It's invigorating. It's like... taking a shower in light. You lose yourself in it.
Corazon: Like a floatation tank?
Searle: Actually, no. More like... In psych tests on deep space, I ran a number of sensory deprivation trials, tested in total darkness, on floatation tanks - and the point about darkness is, you float in it.
You and the darkness are distinct from each other because darkness is an absence of something, it's a vacuum.
But total light envelops you. It becomes you. It's very strange... I recommend it.
Mace: What's strange, Searle, is that you're the psych officer on this ship and I'm clearly a lot saner than you are.
