Horror show appropriate for Halloween, which is very popular in the US, and strange, although I was in a Mexican restaurant the other day where there were decorative human skull displays.

Halloween, and this scene, is scarier than usual because of Hamas.
This scene is a reminder of what they did, in case it gets forgotten in the pursuit of all the agendas.

Whiplash, Final Scene
(obviously a plot spoiler, so you and not God are responsible if you watch it).

In the movie, this kid is pushed deeply into psychological torment in an attempt to be all he can be. The man who inflicts the torment explains why brutality is his method, earlier on in the flick, so you need to watch that other scene not posted here or better yet the whole movie to see that explanation. This scene begins after the tormentor has tried his final, most deadly trick to either destroy the kid or release his full potential from the infinity of potentiality.

His justification for his method doesn’t account for all the broken people he leaves in his wake, and for what? Someday, perhaps already, someone can program a Robot to match that kid’s human perfection, at twice the speed of the kid’s human best, or half the speed, or a quarter, or samba samba.

It’s already been proven that a Democrat AI Robot can shamelessly stonewall the best human Turing Tactics designed to stop The Party Machine from blocking truth, so it’s reasonable to assume that machines have a whole other standard of perfection that humans are trying to match.

The inflictor of torment in this scene is trying to mold walking, talking, drumming anachronisms out of God’s creations, and they will have to function in a world where AI gives them tests of objective recognition to prove they are indeed human, perhaps even somday requiring a scan of a tattooed bar code, before allowing humans to check the current state of climate change and possess the knowledge of whether or not to wear a hat for the stroll down to the corner pub, thereby saving precious seconds required to actually physically look out the door.

The encore.

Did you observe how such a highly complex ordering of rhythm and frequency was found in silence (mental stillness)?

Amazing correlation with everyone's ordering of chaos from the emptiness of stillness, according to ability. Meditation allows for a more consistant tapping, so your energy buys less foam.

A great allegorical fantasy flick.
Good vs. Evil

Student: I hate you.
Teacher: Good. That is a perfect way to start

One of my all-time favorite movie scenes is from "The Shawshank Redemption" when Andy Dufresne escapes through the sewage tunnel, emerging into the rain with outstretched arms, symbolizing freedom and hope. The powerful juxtaposition of his perseverance against adversity and the liberating rain creates an unforgettable moment, evoking a profound sense of triumph and resilience. Truly iconic!

Gotta be the coin flipping scene from No Country for Old Men - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqMdQBo ... heTogoPogo
The intense and suspenseful nature, as well as its symbolic significance within the context of the film is why this is my favorite. Javier Bardem's calm yet menacing demeanor, the music that leaves the watcher as if suspended from thin air, simple yet effective camera work, and immaculate dialogues are simply magical.

Absolutely brilliant acting. Even the touch of humour at the end was menacing.

The best comedy is pursuit of the ridiculous with intensity, with only the so-called arbitrary directing of attention making the ridiculous into something important enough for mindfulness. In this scene the actor presents the paradox of an obvious clown, speaking with the intensity of drama, saying nothing, and giggling at the end as if an observer to it all. Playing three roles at once, a fragmented life stitched together.

The principle? Modern life is lived in fragments and folks play various roles throughout the day, just to get along. When the fragments come together, then more the mystery unfolds.
