Tomorrowland

Superstition Springs Mall has a small movie  theatre where one can see movies cheap.

For $1.00 I decided to see Tomorrowland, a silly science fiction fantasy tale starring George Clooney,

The plot essentially is simple.  A small boy, Frank Walker,  whose invention was rejected in a contest held at the World's Fair has grown into an adult grumpy old man who lives in a secluded house built to ward off visitors.  HIs house is equipped with security devices to protect him from real or imagined enemies.  When at the World's Fair he has met with a small girl who has given him a pin to wear on his shirt. This pin gives him special powers in which he encounters robots who are trying to kill him.  His house is designed to protect him from these robots which seem to be trying to thwart his every move.  He has become a recluse hidden away in this two story home hidden in the woods.

Meantime, a young girl,Casey, whose father works at the Space Industry is spying on the offices at the launch pad, using a  drone to get inside to sabotage a planned launch.  On her second attempt, she is caught and thrown in jail,  so that when released, she finds a pin amongst her belongings, which has an effect on her when she touches it.  It instantly transports her into a wheat field looking at a distant Disneyland castle of Tomorrowland.  Really farfetched at this point, since only she is affected by the touch of this pin, but soon enough she finds herself in Tomorrowland, investigating all the future rides and events of the imaginary place.

Now the real reason that I am discussing this in a blog is because some of the insights and theories in this strange film are basically for real and not so fanciful after all.  For some reason, this film and I were able to make contact in such a way that I could see exactly where this plot of some imbedded device impacting one's life can be very real.

What often seems like imagination and fantasy is not so far-fetched at all, and can and does take place.

In the case of the robots, there is no doubt that these are all preprogrammed and designed to perform deeds by some outer source.  But the concept of an outer force being able to invade one's own mind, or one's own solar plexus is not far-fetched at all, but is little realized or understood, or for that matter, discussed.

Two successive blogs related to this follow now.
