  1. I've liked the movie so far because... I don't know, it's hard to explain. It makes you think about your life, what you've done and what you will do. Things will happen at the right time, but you have to be open for it.
    I expect that the Shift will happen to everyone that's at the hotel, the businessman will 'live' more than work, his wife will find something to live for, the film director to stop worrying so much so his best movie will come and the family will realize what the mom does for everybody and the dad will take a bigger role in the family.

  2. It just set my thinking about my way of behaving towards difficult moments. Maybe if I stopped worrying a little bit more about my problems and started acting, things would be the way I wanted them to be. From all the characters, I'm really concerned about the mom. I'm really close to mine; and seeing how overwhelming she felt carrying the family on her shoulders made me reflect on how important my mom is to me and how greatly she copes with the whole family-issue-thing.

  3. Hey, friends
    Unfortunately, I got very sick last Friday and couldn't see the first part of the movie.
    I'm willing to read your comments, so that I might be able to understand what it is about before we watch its second part.
    Regards,

  4. I really agree with the idea that we were created by God and that He made us in His own image. He loves us and wants to have a deep relationship with each of us. However, as we have seen in the movie so far, we have decided to live our lives apart from God. He respects our decisions, but He keeps close waiting for us to change our minds. The only way to return to God is through Jesus (God who became a man, died for us and ressurected) because He gave his own life so that we could live. When we meet Jesus personally, there is a shift in our lives. This is what I expect to see in the movie.

  5. I've also enjoyed the movie so far. It's really inspiring. I think it is like a spiritual journey and it can help us to think of what is really important in our lives. Maybe that is what will happen to the characters of the three little stories. They'll have a big change in their lives and, eventually, will find the balance, bringing more peace, happiness and thruth to themselves.

    It's said in the movie and I liked it a lot:

    "But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning, for what was great in the morning will be little at evening and what in the morning was true, at evening will have become a lie.”

  6. It takes us into an inner spiritual journey, one which I am really looking forward to. It shows how simple life could and should be, and how we suffer for something that is not our purpose in life, and even knowing that we still fight against it. Reminds us about a Superior Being and a divine particle that lies inside every human being and it’s been forgotten and hidden. And I believe that this is the reason why we have so many different names for physiological disturbs that in the end are only a lack of faith in God and in ourselves. Of course is not that simple, but... it is. I don’t know if I am too confusing??!!
    What I hope and wish, not only concerning the plot but especially for each one of us, is that we can start and step toward these great and deep SHIFT!!!
    I just regret missing the last TDP, but I hope to share your comments and impressions on that!

  7. I do enjoy it! We need to stop complaining about life and start to turn our bad moments in great moments, but how? Enjoying it! Enjoying the laughs and also the tears. Enjoying the success and enjoying the failures, and learning with both, not only with the failures, not only with the success. And make sure that we are living our lessons day by day. I would like to see the movie over over again.
