Fun Friday Film - November

Here is the film we watched this past Fun Friday:



While simple and short, there is a variety of questions and themes to consider:
- Is that the dude from E.T.?
- What's with the children and merry-go-round?
- What's the significance of color? B&W?
- Why don't the children have doors in their stomachs?
- Can we "get happy"? Yet don't we try?
- How is the flashing light in the end a beacon? Or is it a distraction? Nostalgia?
- Productivity v. Coming Alive
- Creativity v. Living Dead
- Are we to become more like children? (and inherit the Kingdom of God?)
- Yet how can we rule the world... and lose our soul in the process?
- How can we sell-out our lives, our creativity?
- Within creativity there is destruction... and destruction, creativity?

What are your thoughts/comments/questions? Feel free to post them in the comments section below.
