I know on the other board we discussed this quite a bit, what it was, were some of us indigo children...
Well I saw this movie in movie gallery...so I picked it up. I liked the movie just fine, after a few moments(think tv movie).
What the bleep do we know was also in this Spiritual Cinema Circle thing, even though I wasn't fond of it(I wouldn't say I necessarily hated it or anything, just wasn't moved) I think maybe I will subscribe to the Spiritual Cinema Circle( I think I have a subject on it in this entertainment section) eventually..but I don't buy into the indigo thing anymore. Not that children with psychic abilities don't exist, I truly believe that they do-but so do adults, they either acknowledge it or they do not. I grew up in a family that sort of did acknowledge intuition.
This movie was directed by Stephen Simon, the same man who directed What Dreams May Come, and Somewhere in Time. I love both of those movies(and the books, though I've only read What Dreams May Come).
Well if anyone rents this one, I'll be happy to know what they think.

To be truthful, when I saw a synopsis, my first response was: Huh? Isn't this supposed to be a documentary? ....which shows that first impressions can be quite shallow. Still, I have little interest in seeing it, not exactly buying the whole indigo thing.

I know what you mean. I think now we're in a time where we see a child's potential and intuitiveness and encourage it. Maybe in time's past they just didn't. I even at one time believed that I was one of these children, but I think that's just not so anymore. For one thing my grandfather was intuitive, knew sometimes when things were going to happen..could tell someone was pregnant before they were.. I've picked that up. My dad has that, my aunt as well. It's quirky and odd. I think to insinuate that these are the only beings that have psychic ability..that's just a bit far..there's too many people who have came before that have exhibited like behavior.
I resented the lady who was on the extras..she bothered me-mainly because she said that children who are diagnosed with autism or adhd are instead indigos. No offense, mind you-but lets leave that to the professionals, not to a psychic. I'm not saying that there aren't psychics, I'm saying there's a ton of fakes in that community. I don't know how to explain it-it's just she came off as a fake. That was the only part of it I resented, was her..
Again, I'm not saying children with psychic abilities do not exist, they obviously do.
They said on the video that they're making movies for the indigo children just for them.
At least the movies int he spiritual cinema have been really interesting and thought provoking, so I'll keep renting them I suppose.

I no longer buy the Indigo thing either, but I don't prevent people who email me about it from going out to learn about it. If it weren't for learning about the Indigo and the Crystal Children, I wouldn't have explored more into learning about spiritual gifts.
You mentioned how some gifts have been present in your family, well, same here.
But what's pissing me off is that there is this cultic sense about making these movies just for them. Well, coming from one who has the charactersticis to be an Indigo, I think that's wrong. Especially when it's coming from the same people that say that anyone can develop their psychic/spiritual abilities.

You know, Indigo beliefs seem to be one of those that is mostly picked up to "feel special." Its the same phenomena which brings a number of individuals (superficially) to Wicca or Witchcraft. In Witchcraft, there is the promise of power. In Indigo beliefs, there is the belief that you are special, or chosen, from among the masses. In other words, a superiority appeal. I've noticed that a number of people originally warm up to the idea, or say they are an indigo, but, as their wisdom progresses, they tend to move away from it.

I dont' know if it was a power thing more than it was a need to belong that drew me to it. Within our family it's comfortable a commonplace thing. Take this wedding I went to a few weeks ago, I saw a cousin I hadn't seen in , well I want to think I was just a little girl. I knew she was pregnant just by being around her that 30 minutes or so we were watching the wedding take place. My family and I got out to the car and I finally said "is so and so pregnant" and I got a definate answer.
I think the problem is that it's real cute to give these indigo' children the idea that they're special now, but watchout in their teens..that's all I'm saying there. If the whole thing is necessarily true, that they're special somehow, well then they need to be taught to be humble with it as well or it will backfire.
I agree, the just for them concept made me angry as well, but it was coming from that "psychic". She said to be paitient with adults. I don't mind children being taught that their abilities are special and important, but I do mind giving them the idea that they have some authority.
I dunno during the movie this little girl was healing people, it was odd. I'm not saying they can't, it just got to the point where it was unbelievable that the child had these abilities. During this movie nothing she said announced a bad event. It was all good stuff. *shrugs*
I kinda agree Amalcas-if it had been a documentary I would have enjoyed that a whole lot more! But perhaps they wouldn't have got enough sensational material out of it, who knows.

Well, I think when such movies come out, not only are they looking for the hype and positive feedback, but I also think that perhaps the writer was also looking to get a message across. I think a lot of writers, despite the profession, want to convey a message to their audience. And I think that if that is true, then I think they just want to give people a sense of hope. I think a lot of religions are trying to win people over, but in the end, it seems we are all looking for the same thing.
