Wow, I have to say that the responses I've gotten from people reading about my story have been very positive.  Thanks to every single one of you and I am honestly stunned by the effects my words can have...
I seem to get a lot of questions about my story so I'd like to take a moment and clarify my thoughts maybe.  I do want people to understand...
The biggest comment I seem to get, is "I wish we, as humans on this world, could see those movies, any and all, in this lifetime..."
And I see exactly what you mean, I really do.
But I also see other sides of the coin perhaps...

I think our religions (all of them) involve us dying and going to "someplace" good, and someplace bad.  And they involve, from one degree or another, rewards for the good people, and punishments for the bad.
And I can't think of any better reward than to be able to watch every other humans' movies like that.  With the fast forward and the pause and the rewind.
I mean you could watch your kids' lives, your parents, "everybody" you know.  And to me, well that's probably the best reward any human could ever ask for or imagine.
It also implies that everyone who has died before us, is "watching" us already.  Like they're watching you (and me) and they've never really "left" us, they just went to a different place to watch us from.
So in a sense, our "deceased" (I don't like to call them that) are more with us than ever before.

I think if we, as humans, were able to watch these lifetimes here on earth, well it would take away the great reward at the end.  Maybe people wouldn't feel the need to "earn" it...
Also, with the punishment, well I can't think of anything worse than having to relive your worst moments, forever.

So it's better than the Muslims with their afterlife of seventy virgins.  It's also worse than Dante and his seven layers of hell.
It's a very "personalized" version of things and I believe it makes perfect sense.

I also think, that if the whole world knew that this is how it really worked, well it would upset the balance.  People would no longer hurt each other, there would be no stealing, no murder, no rape, no "hurting" of any kind because you might get stuck reliving that horrible moment of someone else's life, for "the duration" you know.
So we can't all be good people, just like we can't all be a world full of bad.
There has to be a balance so I'm not too worried about people not believing my story.  Because there simply has to be some "negative" somewhere...

I do think, that we can write or type or talk about our movies now (in our lifetimes), we can make "actual" movies (the kind you see in a theater) and that's "close" to the big movies at the end.
We can share our experiences with others and that's a big gift I think.  To be able to share ourselves and learn from others.
And for now, well that's good enough for me.
