RE: Movies that might inspire us

A 13yo witch coming of age exploring the world, facing challenges, making mistakes, fixing common problems, and, like most young witches, trying to find a vacant village or town to exercise her skill.

 

Kiki's delivery service is a movie that reminds us of what really matters.

 

For instance, at one point she starts obsessing about boys and bothering with girls gossip, giving importance to fancy dresses and wishing for shiny shoes and is soon surprised by seeing her witch skills fading and has to embark on an inspiring journey of friendship and self-discovery to find what truely motivates her spirit and eventually regains her abilities when they're needed to save the life of one of her friends during an accident.

 

Modest movie with no hallucinating ridiculous made up effects but plenty of useful everyday life lessons that shouldn't be forgotten, independently of whether you're a witch, a baker, an artist or an overall creative person.

Doctor Sleep, sequel to The Shining, portrays OBEs, psi skills, & psi combat quite accurately:)

Woah, indeed.

Definitely need to watch it once it becomes available on my Netflix or something.

Though, imho it's a bit unfortunate that it's a horror.
I think it might serve as a better source of motivation for people if it were more of an action & adventure.

After watching, I would say it's more psychological thriller than horror. It's about how people of divergent ethics make use of their psychic gifts. It's also the hero's journey & overcoming trauma.

Watching The Shining, first is useful for context because it explains how psi works in that universe, but the two movies are nothing alike:)

P.S. I found The Shining, to be super boring. I found Doctor Sleep, to be amazing; it's now one of my favorite moviesbiggrin

Also, nice to hear from you Sussch; hope all is well.

Nice, sounds like it might make it into my favorites as well aww.

Yeah, I also found The Shining to be somewhat boring.

It seems that things are considerably better than the past few years.

Happy you enjoyed the movie. It definitely felt accurate to my own experiences of astral & telepathic interactions:)

Here is a good show. Very entertaining and with good character development. Don't watch if you're sensitive to sexual stuff.

I somehow missed your comment about Doctor Sleep so I'm going to watch that in the coming week or so. The preview looks intense.

Watched Dr Sleep with my wife last night. We were hesitant since we don't typically watch horror films but wow. This one was done so well. Awesome recommendation. I would have never tried watching since I didn't care much for the shinning. So glad I did.

I thought Dr Sleep was really interesting. I just watched a new film called Grey Matter and enjoyed it as well. The opening of the movie defines the term psion and is about different psionic abilities.

YouTube mobile app is formatting the links weird. Sigh. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is excellent story telling and actually gives good advice for training psi.

I should add it is on Netflix currently.
