Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01194)

The hard part is appealing to everyone.

I would go from a "Life is not what it appears to be/There is more to
reality than this" kind-of angle. Similar to the matrix, I suppose,
but without too many similarities as to make people say, "this is SUCH
a matrix rip-off".

There's a few other angles I can think of, such as a documentary of
Theosophy. Documentaries are not as entertaining, however, so they'll
appeal to less people. You can also do a narrative in the life of a
Master, seeing their selfless character build up throughout the story
line, and embed theosophical ideals throughout the movie.

Or possibly the life of the Theosophist, their encounters with the masters,etc.

Now I would pay $10 to see that. Don't spare a few curse words &
violence, either. Believe me, little kids see R rated movies too. I
should know know, I used to be one. :)
