@@Blayaz you are more right than you may know. Yes we create our reality, but on the other side of the coin we have been set up to fail and it started with the fall from Grace, but it was not for the reasons that we've been told. Were we to follow the real teachings of Yeshua (or Buddha) we could override what has been done, but we have not because most of us neither seek nor find, nor knock, so the door cannot be opened. Having said that however, we cannot be blamed, because it was never actually intended to be this way.

It's such a beautiful environment for the film to unfold, so open and natural. It was filmed in 1998, so 25 years ago. I wonder if there are still places like this to be appreciated.

Just a note to "Cinema cinemas": The Isle of Man is NOT Ireland. It is approximately equidistant from Ireland, Scotland and England, in the Irish Sea. It has it's own Parliament, and Great Britain is responsible for its defense. So, the Isle of Man is an autonomous protectorate of Great Britain.

They can then take credit for what's right about their community, society, country, and world at large.

Came upon the movie by chance. Brought up happy memories of watching the sheep dog trials at the Scott county fair each summer in Minnesota. The trial course here ran a poor second to Scott Counties. There was a natual deep dip midcourse where the dog and sheep could not be seen from the handler or spectators what a thrill to see the dog drive them over the hillside right on target and carry on to finish. Herding dogs are amazing.

The Parliament is the oldest continuous Parliament in the World having first been held in 979AD. Lovely film and even the opening credits state it is filmed in the Island and produced by them.
