so my son and i went to see p.o.t.a and it was incredible. it is amazing how the spirit can be provoked to change. one of the main characters "ceaser" (andy serkis) was placed in an enviornment that was out of his control. ceaser attempted to "fit in" and eventually did such a wonderful job at it that it became a reality for him.
are there times when you know that something is "not right" but you attempt to go along with it anyway for what you think may be the greater good or fear of the unknown?
will rodman (james franco) attempted to love ceaser and to care for him as best as he could but his selfishness got in the way. will thought he knew what was best for ceaser, and thus it led to him keeping ceaser when ceasar should of been freed, let go, released. do you know of any folks that won't let YOU BE YOU, FREE? have you gotten the short end of the stick, well we could all benefit from watching p.o.t.a. when watching i learned that if i am not FREE it is simply because i chose not to be.
there was a pivotal scene where ceaser was left in the zoo and thought that he was with beasts but then realized that they were one in the same. have you ever looked down on people? well we all are all the same, just different situations. once ceaser sat with his own, ate with his own, suffered with his own; the bonding began to take place. i wonder if you took the time to listen to a man's heart would you really hear or feel what that heart is saying. life is about respecting our GOD GIVEN FREE WILL.
i had a challenge with letting people be free, because in doing so i usually wound up; out of relationships, and into my EMPTYNESS (yes with a y). had to be around bruised folks because it validated my worth and kept me from seeing my faults, flaws, imperfections. i LOVE BEING HONEST with me. it is quite a battle at times but i and all my counter parts benefit.
ceasar fought for his freedom, the one that was stolen from him. he by no certain means wanted to hurt anyone but there were fatalities, there always is. those fatalities can be lost friendships, jobs, domiscles, anything but at the end if you do it with care and most certain concern for others...YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITHOUT GUILT.
