Här får jag lägga in filmen
Neverwas med Aaron Eckhart, Ian McKellen, Brittany Murphy. Svårt att hitta en trailer som inte har dålig bild eller text, den här har text :

Det känns som att den här filmen inte får den uppmärksamhet den förtjänar, kanske för att den anses vara lite av "familjefilmstyp". Men den har ett djup som är beundransvärt och den tar upp många svåra frågor om livet. Ingen actionfilm, men väldigt mycket psykologiskt/relationsmässigt.
Dessutom går den väldigt bra in på vad som är verkligt/normalt och inte.
Som den hinduiske religionsforskaren Curwen Rolinson skriver om Myt :
"I suspect that the way to look at reality (and, for that matter, Capital R Reality) is that Myth , much like other elements of empowered Language or certain laws of physics – represents underlying structures , patterns inherent to reality.
We wind up participating in them, whether we know or not that we are doing so – whether we know that they even exist. And it is the genius of the Rsi to ‘see things clearly’ and to become aware of these patterns and consciously promulgate them so that others may follow.
In this, I would therefore come at what you have said from the other way around – namely, that the most fundamental ingredient is the Myth and its patterning itself ; it has existence a-priori to the ritualist – and shall continue to persist in some form long after he is gone.
Although having said that, this opens up the rather intriguing concept of there being multiple ‘grades’ of myth and pattern – with some of the more culturally specific and later reproductions of the pattern being more accessible but also more transient.
But precisely because these are more accessible, they may be more immediately useful for allowing easier participation by more people in direct consequence."
