The Secret World of Dreams (1995)
I enjoy this one.
I was lucky to find this at ocean state job lot with a lot more questar videos. it gives examples from real life of people dealing with problems and how their dreams helped them resolve problems. each type of situation is different and the experts are interviewed also, i want to read a couple of the books that they have written sometime soon. as an example, one women learned how to eat in her dreams and as a result lost 20 pounds in real life. another a young man was having nightmares of being chased night after night but finally fought back in his dream and resolved the problem. another man was a veteran from Vietnam and was able to resolve his difficult dreams with a form of therapy.
worth mentioning is the set design on this program is very cool and the host does a nice job as well. i recommend questar video about miracles as well and any other from questar can most likely be worth while.
The Circle (2002)
could be my favorite
first i would like to debunk some of the negative reviews. people have written some of the following: the music was bad, the acting was bad, the story was confusing and hard to follow, and there are more. I thought the music was superb, and it really aided the movie. the acting was excellent and everyone was well cast. treat was flawless in his performance as Spencer runcie the headmaster of the school and reminded me of Michael Douglas. Robin Dunne stars as the main character, Alex who is sort of playing the role of a sherlock Holmes on campus trying to figure out all the loose ends of the tragic events taking place at runcie academy. he does an awesome job in this role and narrating throughout the movie.
the story for me was confusing when i first saw it only because i was not following it closely enough and paying attention to which character was which. this does not discredit the writing but is actually the fault of the viewer. now after seeing the film a couple more times i can understand what is happening and actually it is a positive aspect of the film that it takes a bit of your mind to understand what is happening. it is brilliantly written. i cant understand why people say it is a copy of this or that film, the only similarity is that it is in a prep school but it clearly is much different from dead poet's society or school ties and takes place many years later, it's a completely different film. i have to mention the actresses playing Tess and the female detective are both beautiful and add to the film this is the kind of movie that you can watch again and again like I do with other favorites eyes wide shut, the game, and what lies beneath. the setting is also interesting in the winter time. so all in all the different elements of this film come together to make it a masterpiece. i guess we all have different opinions and thats an interesting thing too.
