rambo


I'm watching Rambo right now, I started to think of the other man films, Rocky, die hard, deer hunter. films I love. Do I and so many others like these films because they are so manly, or is there more to it. If these films were just manly, I could understand, but the famous films would just be emotionless kill em alls.
The good films show man where he is, vulnerable, lost. Think about it, Rocky, Rambo, John Mclane, vulnerable, lost individuals, not knowing how to fit into society, not knowing when to back down, give up, surrender, wanting to give something, be someone, but the world not understanding.
Why are the biggest man films stories of vulnerability, that's easy isn't it. It is like Madonna said 'yourself express ', But men can't. I can, why?
Feel free to ask.
In a couple of weeks.
I'm going to visit my brother tomorrow, in Ibiza, where he works, to show people how they can be what God wants them to be. He does not do that by first telling them they are sinners, but they are. He does not do that by judging them, because that is not what we are here for. He shows them God's love, he is a good samaritan, he appeals to the good that God through his creation, which has been distorted by sin, but is in each of us, and calls that out , challenges it, and brings people to the real place where they need to be, realising what we are, and being saved through His love, His sacrifice and our own acceptance of who we are and who He is.
God bless, see you in a week or 2.

Just look at that body, is that the real reason why men watch manly films, so they can compare themselves? lol
