A bedtime tale from the director/writer who gave us “The Sixth Sense”. A rather special bedtime story in that he actually made it up, telling it to his children. A quirky little movie, not quite horror but a bit of suspense. It develops quite an inclusive feeling as you watch and become more involved. Canned by the critics for not being another “Sixth Sense”, a missed opportunity for those who listened to them.
Of course no film will directly represent Course principles. They can however reflect them or aspirations towards them. This is a story that touches on many themes familiar with a student of the Course. Once such theme being faith or the willingness to believe in what, by all “rational” thinking would be ludicrous. This is also a story of purpose, or more specifically, finding your purpose. Everyone has a purpose! A story of healing and letting go of the past rather than being consumed by it. A story of redemption, for all involved. Really quite nice.
