X-Files – I Want To Believe
“Don’t Give Up”
The Moral of The Movie
I had just watched The X-Files, I Want To Believe. I am an X-Files fan and I used to watch the series on TV every episodes without fail. The reason why I want to watch this movie simply because I am a fan. I have read in IMDB and there is a review that says:
“this movie is for the fans. If you have never watched the series, don’t watch the movie.”
Yes, it is true indeed for if you have never watch X-Files before and find yourself watching the movie, you are likely to be confused at every scene and every little detail in the movie. Some say the movie is too boring, others say that the movie is just normal and predictable.
Yes, there is no actions, no excessive screaming, no slaughtering, no aliens, no ETs and definitely no ghosts. So, you must be wondering why bother to make such a movie? The reason is because among all the action-packed movies such as The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2 and the upcoming Mummy: The Tomb of Dragon, we need something more subtle, soft and low profile.
In this movie, there is no UFO kind of thing but something beyond our understanding about God and how God give us the ‘vision’. I am still thinking about what Father Joe said about “Don’t Give Up” and other things, trying to get a more understanding of it. I do believe that what we know are much more lesser than what we don’t know so there must be something that we cannot explain for we do not know about the thing yet.
Imagine you are a 5-year old kid that doesn’t know the wonders of the world yet and you asked,
“Why I cannot fly?”
Your mummy being the know-it-all (we all assume we know everything but we don’t) answered:
“You have no wings. Humans don’t have wings so we cannot fly.”
Would you have known that you cannot fly because you have no wings if no one tells you that?
Anyway, I must say that the Mulder-Scully relationship is very complex and it reflects the reality, human relationships are complex and unpredictable. One day you are married, then the next day you are divorced. That is life and so this is a movie about life, about the magic of life and about how life can changed in a single day without any warning at all.
Go watch the movie X-Files fans and non X-Files fans, you can start by watching the series…
