Knowing, the Movie

Though many reviewers and movie goers are labeling Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage, science fiction, I think they are dead wrong.

The hero is a widower raising a young son alone. He's also a scientist. His scientific views on life and death have alienated him from his father who is a preacher. Clue #1.

When a time capsule is dug up, one of the letters from a student of long ago is retrieved by the hero's son and contains a series of numbers. When the hero starts to figure out the message--things begin to happen--and more clues are revealed. One of these clues is a reference to Ezekiel. This is a big time clue as Ezekiel is the book in the Bible with all sorts of prophecy including how the world will end. It also has descriptions of angels in it--not the commercial image of angels.

I really can't say anymore without spoiling the movie. But if you watch with those two things in mind, you'll find more clues and realize this is really a religious movie, a fiction movie, but it has religious and spiritual subtle attributes.

Hubby and I loved the movie, it's exciting, it makes you think, and if you pay attention, you realize there are some extremely interesting clues.
