Devil Terminator: Judgment Day by Universal Studio

Our family frequented Universal Studio, Orlando last year with annual gold pass. My boys’ favorite show is Terminator 2 3-D: Battle across Time.

The main plot of Terminator 2 is that the machines who rule the future sent an unstoppable Terminator to assassinate the yet unborn John Connor who would lead the mankind to destroy the machines. A lone warrior is sent to protect John Connor and eventually the warrior terminates the devil machines and their world which is structurally perfect, destroyed by a single bomb.

Machines cannot control the world, however, some group of people behave like machines by framing the heroes up for failure, covering real history, spreading chain lies, killing and grabbing the righteous people’s achievement and properties. They are chain criminals, trying to use fake stories to cover the true history and meanwhile kill all the possible persons in the know. Public clamor can melt metals; accumulated defamation melts the bones. Nevertheless, the wrongdoers are prospering and pretending to be heroes.

Psalms 94: 21-23 says,
“They band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
But the Lord has become my fortress,
And my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
He will repay them for their sins
And destroy them for their wickedness;
The Lord our God will destroy them.”

The Lord will come to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and in his truth. He will pick the evildoers out and throw them into the eternal fire of the hell.

God will do this through the Universal Studio because patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

There is no accident

In the film Kung Fu Panda, the clumsy Po, a noodle peddler, is thrust into sky by firework, and then lands in front of the pointing finger of the tortoise Master Oogway with perfect timing. Oogway claims Po to be the Dragon Warrior. Everyone is surprised, but Oogway says firmly, “There is no accident.”

Po is fanatic with Kung Fu; he has passion and determination; his strong desire and secret dream send him into the public tournament. Even Po’s shortcomings are his strong points - his clumsiness can disarm any fighter, and he is brand new and not stereotyped, so no one knows how to deal him. Although berated and humiliated by the Furious Five – Tigress, Monkey , Mantis, Viper, and Crane, Po has learned the highest philosophy of Kung Fu and eventually defeats the evil Tai Lung.

Sometimes people can be deluded by the surface phenomenon. When bad thing happens to a seemingly honest and generous person, they think his honesty brings him bad luck, but they don’t know he may have destructive vices, which are real cause. When a seemingly low person is blessed, they think the cause-effect law is wrong, but they don’t know he may possess grand hidden virtues, which are pleasing to the heaven and earth.

There is no accident. Everything happens with a reason. We create our own fate; we harvest we sow. Something goes around, will come around. Everything that comes to our life is attracting into our life by our own thoughts and behaviors. We are not passive to our environment, either. How we react to a situation will bring about different results. Don’t complain, life never wrongs you.

Things I learned from "Kung Fu Panda"

This afternoon, I brought my elder son William to a movie theatre to watch “Kung Fu Panda”. It is an entertaining but deep movie, combining Chinese culture elements and Hollywood humor. It embodies wisdom from Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Martial Arts. I learned a lot of wisdom from this cartoon:
  1. There is no secret in any trade – feel free to be yourself.
  2. Your strength comes from focus.
  3. To reach focus, you have to find inner peace.
  4. Believe you can, you can.
  5. Dream big, achieve high.
  6. You can’t judge people by their appearance.
  7. A master can guide you; it takes you to figure out.
  8. Don’t allow what you can’t do to prevent what you can do.
  9. No one can learn things for you, only yourself.
  10. No one can use your ability, only yourself.
  11. Every master is an ordinary flawed person.
  12. The best style is no style.
  13. Emptiness is the ultimate form of anything.
  14. Humility is a basic virtue.
  15. Fight and war is for peace.
  16. However strong the evil is, the good will conquer the evil.
Finally, everyone can be a Kung Fu Panda!
If you wonder how I can get all above from an animated film, go to see it yourself. You should not miss this masterpiece!
