Thank you for joining us on yet another issue of your favorite movie review blog. In this issue we examine the subliminal messages and social inferences that give transformative life lessons from the movie 'The Running Man'. Like the previous reviews on this blog, this movie provides clarity and guidance for social development and the realignment of our human race journey. Enjoy reading as you join in contributing your quota to the development of a better world.  

  • The Imbalance 
    Ben's (Glen Powell) social status and poor finances put him on the receiving end of injustice in the social system, and the movie further showcases the exploitation of low social status individuals in death match games for amusement and financial benefit of the system.
    Is the use of individuals for fatally harmful sport really only a thing of fantasy movies? How about sex trafficking rings, underage slave labor camps, fraternity ritual killings, and snuff films which are available on the 'dark web' in our world (see review of American Sweatshop).

The injustice in our social system is a result of the imbalances in our social development and these imbalances are deeply rooted in the problem of true love. After the mistake that spoilt the sequences to ensure true love among men, and the subsequent enslavement and entrapment of the angelics, men deprived of love failed to establish themselves in society and became marginalized. Over time this marginalization and discrimination became deeply rooted in society and created a perpetual imbalance in the system that is easily exploited by the powerful.
To cure our world of social imbalances that lead to the type of problems showcased in this movie, we would first need to correct the distribution of love. All men must be realigned with a right to get their cross-matched true love without exceptions. Please read our eBook titled 'To Right A Wrong', to gain more understanding of the cross-matching of true love. We also mentioned the importance of correcting social imbalances by the proper distribution of love in our review of 'Euphoria'.

  • The Wrong Advisors 
    Ben is wrongly advised by Dan (Josh Brolin) to sign up for the running man death game as a way out of his financial situation. Dan had no interest in seeing Ben free, he was only interested in improving the ratings of his show and making more money.
    It the real world, it is important to see beyond an initial offer and understand the true value of what's at stake when you encounter people who offer to help or support you in return for something. It might be a contract agreement or a simple exchange of favor but do you really see beyond the fine print and understand the transaction that's really taking place. Sometimes a simple verbal agreement can imply a deeper spiritual bond and there are numerous instances in reality where the 'spiritually conscious' have taken advantage of meek or 'sleeping' individuals.
    There are people who out of the goodness of their heart have become victims of bond entrapment and spiritual enslavement. For example, did you know that cleaning up after someone else as a show of love, could imply that you are responsible for the person's wrongness and make you subject to the transferred blame of the person's wrongs. This means that if the person is spiritually punished for his wrongs, you can become the recipient of such spiritual punishment under an indirect spiritual pact of being a helper who looks after the person's wrongs. Weird as it may sound, but the personality and essence of Archangel Michael wrongly accused of being responsible for the failure of man to achieve true love, has been victimized even killed in several cultures due to this indirect transfer of blame of wrongness. So be careful how you choose to express your love, kindness, or caring abilities. There are fraternities with an underlying motto of 'not caring', because such fraternities are ruled by individuals with an understanding that caring can sometimes be used against a person wrongly. This is just an example, not a justification of the wrongness of fraternities which usually have wrong ulterior motives.
    If you do not care, you won't clean-up after someone else and you won't be a victim of transferred blame. Nonetheless, be good anyway, just like the legendary catholic nun Mother Theresa used to say. Just be careful that you understand the direct or indirect implications of your actions both spiritually and physically.
    Be careful who you seek help from, or even divulge information on your predicaments to, because some people are only interested in exploiting the weak. Wrong advisors come in different shapes and sizes in various situations and we have examined some of such situations in the reviews of 'Apex', 'A Scanner Darkly', and 'Wayward'.
  • Generated Images 
    This movie vividly depicts generated or altered images that can't be distinguished from real images as one of the many problems of Ai. It presents the problem of altering the truth or shielding lies under the claim of Ai generated images.
    With the advent of generative Ai, there has been an influx of generated images over the internet. There are images of world leaders like Donald Trump, Putin, and Kim Jong Un in compromising or scandalous positions. There are countless generated audio and video music of renowned celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rihanna on music streaming platforms like YouTube, compromising the intellectual properties of many artists. Even music legends from the past, like Etta James, have been recreated with their voice over Ai generated lyrics. There are even countless videos of Ai generated movies using the images and intellectual rights of actual actors and actresses.
    Beyond these basic issues, there is also the problem of transparency of information. A problem of altering or denying incriminating data or images which served as concrete evidence in the past. The possibility of Ai generated images creates a loophole in social justice that can be exploited by the powerful. It creates the problem of incriminating someone wrongly, or a loophole for guilty persons to gain exoneration.
    It is important that generative Ai content is clearly distinguishable for actual facts and it is also important that the intellectual property rights of individuals who have trained and acquired the rights to stardom, celebrity status, or financial success are not exploited and infringed by Ai generated content. It is important that we control things that threaten to further worsen the imbalances in our world because correcting our social balance also corrects the natural balance of things. We have mentioned before that man is one with the cosmic bodies and systems. We are one unified whole, no one would enjoy a dystopia, post-apocalyptic or slum-future world.

We hope you enjoyed reading through our review of this exciting action packed sci-fi movie, with lessons for our social growth and development. Enjoy the rest of your week.
