what movie did you last watch?

Hello Dear APeacefulWarrior,

Thanks for the recommendation!  I love digging up old weird cult movies like this.  So I went and watched it.

If You like older movies, I can also recommend You movie that was mentioned in The Law of One: Battle Beyond The Stars (1980). It is most likely that You’ve already seen this one, but if not, give it a try.

I'm honestly not sure why people said it was incomprehensible.  The plot laid out everything that was happening.   I think it may be that the scenario was so weird that people just couldn't take the movie's own internal mythology at face value.  It did leave a lot of unanswered questions, tho, like who the council was that backed Lance Henricksen (has he ever NOT looked creepy?) or what exact relationship the housekeeper had with John Huston.  

Same here. For me storyline was clear and I’ve followed the plot effortlessly.

Regarding Lance Henricksen – yep, this guy gave me shivers It is true it is not clearly stated in the movie, but in the review it is said, that this Gentleman was a Leader of a group of wealthy and powerful Beings, whom were making sure, that in each generation there would be descendant of an “ancient, evil force” (Being named Zatteen) that arrived on Earth many, many years ago (hundreds I presume, if not more).
Housekeeper was a “Protector” or ‘Guardian” if You will, but of Earth origins. She was portrait as – I permit my-Self for comparison to the Law of One – Being strongly polarized toward Service-to-Others. She also was able to experience reality on deeper level (i.e. She “saw” what the girl really was).

I thought that visuals were often amazing, especially for what was clearly a pretty low-budget affair.  That opening shot of the two figures and the sandstorm rolling in was absolutely stunning, and I was impressed at how well the director worked with light.  Like you, I definitely saw bits of that (especially the light ships at the end) to feel a lot like the LOO cosmology.

I’m Glad You had similar experiences with this movie as I did. Opening scene with “meeting of two Beings” is quite memorable and as I wrote before, it reminds me (or I interpreted it as) “an attempt to portrait meeting of two fifth-density Beings”.

In a topic of “light work”, for me most “successful” scene in that regard was moment, when Barbara were took from Her car and abused (impregnated). It was amazing, how first You could see regular street with all “regular” surroundings, and than everything changed drastically when Her abusers appear next to the truck – at this point You could hear the steps of those People and You felt like an entire action was moved to totally different place (reality even).

Regarding the ending – when Visitor was “calling for His “People”” and waiting for the craft(s), at first He made two or three unsuccessful attempts. I remember thinking at that time that there are some things yet to be done, before They could arrive/manifest at/within “regular reality”.
You can connect it to a Work of a Seeker – for example Seeker is patiently and systematically working, seeking and being honest/faithful with His/Her Understanding and Feelings for a long time.At some point He/She thinks that an “adepthood” was already achieved and He/She is expecting “something” – i.e. communication, unnatural sign, manifestation itself, etc. But for some reason His/Her expectations are not met and at time/situation like that it is crucial for Seeker to stand by His/Her Understanding/Feelings/Beliefs, despite of “disappointed expectations”/frustration – exactly how “Visitor” done, although He “knew”, and most Seekers are “seeking such Knowing”.

Mostly, I wish they had spent more time dealing with the sci-fi stuff and less time rehashing The Exorcist, The Omen, and Rosemary's Baby.  The main thing that held the movie back, I thought, was too much obvious borrowing from films of the last few years.

That’s true, but I’ve watched “Omen” so long ago, I almost totally forget it, so it wasn’t an issue for me
But I agree, that there’s so few “ambitious Sci-Fi” :/

On a related note, have you ever seen the Sun Ra movie "Space is the Place"?  It's got quite a bit in common with this thematically, even if they go off in two different directions.  It's another low-budget 70s scifi that more fans of weird films should see.   Plus, the cosmology is VERY LOO-esque. Just as a mild warning, however, it's very deep in black nationalist politics from that time, which might be off-putting to some viewers.  I don't think that should distract too much from the messages Sun Ra is putting forward, though, even if he hadn't yet entirely worked through his younger, more militant race theory days.

Thank You for recommending Sun Ra movie – I’ll definitely watch it, although based on the IMDB description, it seems to be sort of a satire. Is it correct?


All I have Best in me for You
