Joseph Campbell - The Hero's Journey Review

Joseph Campbell - The Hero's Journey
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a reflective person by nature, I believe that most people are, I just think that for the most part, a lot of us have gotten sidetracked. Instead of facing our issues and our challenges we face the television and we escape our pain by watching the pains that others are going through...Anna Nicole...Brittney Spears...and I've heard a lot of people comment on these two women...they're "nuts", "freaks", they "have everything but don't even know it..." but I see these women as symbols for where we are as a culture; lost, sad, empty...
This documentary reminds me in such a brilliant way that we really are on a journey. That each one of us has a role to play out and that is to learn how to be the "star" of our own production. Most of us have not learned how to do this. Most of us think that life just happens and we have to deal with what life gives us. But nothing can happen to us, until it happens "through" us...through our own perceptions, our own attitudes, our own beliefs about it. Most of us profess to believing in some kind of Higher Power and yet we are afraid to admit that this Higher Power is within us...that we are, in Truth, expressions of this Higher Power.
Joseph Campbell would be the first to admit that for the most part, most of us are not afraid of our darkness, our shadows, our fears...what we are most afraid of is our brilliance, our light, our beauty. There is no devil outside of us waiting to "snatch" our souls, we steal from ourselves every time we think we are "miserable sinners" rather than extensions of the Divine.
We are literally in the dark about who we truly are. Anna Nicole was. Brittney Spears is. Most of us are. We are not our bodies. We are not these personalities or these behaviors or any of these things that we typically identify with in the physical world. We will not change anything in our life through hate. In fact, hating certain things will only bring these things about more frequently. We must instead yield to the Light, surrender to Love, be willing to use our Lives in way that serve, bless, and heal the whole world. We must learn to trust our own heart, be guided by our own soul, be lead by our own Light. Don't let yourself become hypnotized or seduced by power "out there"...the true power, the only power...is right where you are...you are your own savior, you are your own hero. Your human life is symbolic for something greater. The only reason why there are shadows in your life is because you are standing in your own Light.
I highly recommend anything by Campbell. His wisdom and his gentle humor can cut through years of accumulated "junk". Campbell truly followed his own advice, he lived his "bliss". His passion, his dedication to Truth, his willingness to shine all shows up in this DVD. He truly was a "godsend" just as you are...just as I am...just as we all are...
Let your Light shine today.
Peace & Blessings.

"And so Galahad decided that it would be a disgrace to set off on a quest with the other knights. Alone he would enter the dark forest where there was no path. This is the myth of the Hero’s Journey." -Joseph Campbell One of the greatest storytellers of our time, and arguably the greatest mythologist, Joseph Campbell spent most of his long, rich career explaining how ancient myths like the Hero’s Journey are relevant to modern life. In understanding the importance of myth as a vital, vibrant source of "mankind’s one great story," Campbell inspired others to embark on a quest for the meaning of myth in their own lives. This biographical portrait, filmed shortly before his death in 1987, follows Campbell’s personal quest-a pathless journey of questioning, discovery, and ultimately of delight and joy in a life to which he said, "Yes."

I like this film, the story will stay with you for a long time, very moving and the actors are very good. Jsu Garcia reminds me of Tyrone Power - (I am old generation!!!) The locations, Egypt, Syria, Israel and Jordan are exellent, you have the feeling you are there.

'Spiritual Warriors' DVD Spiritual Warriors is an exciting, suspenseful yet heartfelt film that delivers the message, 'Every life has a purpose'. These simple yet powerful words come from the book that inspired the film, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living, by John-Roger, DSS. Through a dynamic journey into the spiritual battlegrounds within ourselves, John-Roger, DSS's timely message for living a spiritual life comes brilliantly alive on the big screen. Co-written and co-produced by John-Roger, DSS and Jsu Garcia, Spiritual Warriors presents the truth of our spiritual nature in a dazzling, entertaining and deeply fulfilling epic drama. Directed by David Raynr and filmed on location in Egypt and throughout the United States, Spiritual Warriors takes us from a heart-pounding opening scene to a surprising, provocative ending. Along the way, we join Finn (Jsu Garcia) in his adventure discovering himself and his life's purpose as a Spiritual Warrior. We rally with Finn, an out-of-work actor, through his harrowing escape from a drug deal gone bad into his unexpected, intriguing friendship with Roger (Robert Easton), a compelling and patient spiritual teacher. Through his many challenges and the steady support of Roger, Finn comes face to face with the truth of his spiritual nature and the purpose of his life --- to love. In Spiritual Warriors, we learn that love is the source of our inspiration, motivation and success, that love overcomes all. We come to understand the dedication to living from our spiritual heart. A truly satisfying film, Spiritual Warriors inspires the Spiritual Warrior within us all as we discover that we are the ones we have been looking for. Spiritual Warriors is a masterful work of art and love, a glorious and timely journey of the Spirit. A unique, provocative film, Spiritual Warriors offers a profoundly beneficial message for healing and peace within ourselves and the world.

Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972) Review

Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a member of the Franciscan Third Order and fell in love with this movie back when I was only 13. (I'm now 34) This movie is definitely a product of the 60's - but the message is timeless. I feel badly that the review by Amazon was so discouraging. I would not want anyone to read that and make a judgement.
The movie represents, in my opinion, the true beauty of the Franciscan charism. The joy, simplicity and love that our Saint Francis embodied. I felt that Mr. Faulkner was an EXCELLENT choice for the lead role - he couldn't have been any closer to what I imagine Francis being. The director, Franco Zeffirelli, has done notable films ("Endless Love" NOT among his best). If you are a fan of the famous "Jesus of Nazareth", then I would suggest viewing this. In any case, this is a wonderful little film to get you acquainted with this timeless saint.
One bit of trivia - Sir Alec Guinness wanted to play the part of the Pope - as he had just converted to Catholicism not long before the making of this film. :-)
Hope this rudimentary review helped!

The Story of Silent Night Review

The Story of Silent Night
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like the way they present the story of "Silent Night" but this version was created prior to historians finding new information regarding the composing of the carol. If they would update the narration to reflect the fact that the words for "Stille Nacht" were written in 1816 and the music added in 1818, it would take away the fairytale aspect of the story. The segment called "Silent Night, World War II, 1944" is very well done - good story and very good actors. You may need some hankies before you get to the end of the story. "Holiday Fest in Austria" is a nice extra feature.

It is the most popular Christmas song ever written and has been translated into 120 different languages. And yet, Father Joseph Mohr, the man who wrote this beloved Christmas Carol in 1818, died in humble obscurity. This film dramatizes the life of Fr. Mohr - his fatherless upbringing, his tireless dedication to the people of his parish in Oberndorf, Austria, and the inspiration that moved him to pen this simple poem one late winter evening. A highlight of the program is performances of the carol in both German and English by the Vienna Boys Choir. Extra Features: * Holiday Fest in Austria * Silent Night, World War II, 1944

The information was facinating, but putting so much time and effort into psychedelics (as a time filler) got extreemly annoying. Being told about events and saying "I have video" several times, but being shown animations instead was also annoying. The subject matter was amazing and I actually do believe him, but I was hoping for an actual documentary.
