I'm kind of new to the Ah! My Godess Series and I just saw the movie a few days ago. I'm confused about something within the movie though.

Celistien wants everyone to be equals. Although he has to overthrow heaven's system I don't see much harm in what he wants. If everyone were treated as equals wouldn't things be better?

Anyway, thanks for helping. ^^

The thing is, would everybody hav ebeen equal or would everybody not be any different from anybody else.
i'm tired today and probably not rmemebering what i should bout the movie but just froma philosophical frame of mind. if everyone were equal.
That is they could do everything just as well as everybody else. The world would be a dull noring and kinda pointless palce to be.
no one to look up to or admire for their work/skill, dedication etc. it'd be like an ice cream shop with 99 differnt flavors of vanilla. LOL
Actually, that wouldn't bug me, cause my favorite flavor is vanilla. LOl
Okay I'm rambling and I thinkmy reply is a lil bit too vague for even me to follow at eh moment. lol

Well thanks! ^^ I like Vanilla ice cream as well. *hands ice cream to everyone* I guess I should have thought about that a bit more before posting. *licks ice cream*

It's a good question, so don't think about it. :yumms: and thanks for the icecream.

Anywho....Most people hang on to their individuality. Not only would the world be a boring place, but people would all be the same. No individuality, no own mind, ...People wouldn't stand up for themselves, wouldn't show character, strength, courage,....And if they would, it would be seen as something as normal as rain falling from a cloud. Being unique is what's it all about. Would you be happy if you knew that there were other people in the world who would be exactly like you? Think like you, talk like you, act like you, look like you, ... Be like you, really. I'd have to die before giving up my individuality. It's both my greatest strength as my greatest weakness. As it is with most people. I don't think life as we know it today would be possible without individuality.

If everbody looked and acted xactly the same then there would be no uniqueness in our world. Oh sure everyone would be treated the same, but not for the right reasons. We'd all be like robots just waiting for the commands from our masters. Eventually the world would become devoid of human emotions. We wouldn't be able to feel anything and have our own opinions, and that's what I think makes this world so special.

To really grasp this concept, you should watch the movie "Equilibrium". It's a pretty harsh on, so if you're pretty emotional, keep a box of tissues next to you. It's also very long and you really need to think about it. But seriously, in "Equilibrium", like the name already says, everyone is equal. It's an evil world, trust me.

:bg: Peace

WOW. I should go check that movie out.

Anyways IF Celestin accomplished his plan then no one would have to do anything and be boring just the same because they wouldn't be able to shoot for a goal or anything above everyone else because they had already completed it with thousands of other people. It would be a dull world..

A very dull world indeed. Things, I admit, would be so much easier. But what's the point in trying to accomplish something when everyone else has already accomplished that? You know?

Sounds like a cool movie I might need to check into that!

Yeah, come to think about it, it has been quite a while since I last saw it....ooooh, and the main character is soooooooo hot! :) He's gonna play in the new Batman movie too. Lemme see....
His name's Christian Bale, and I think he's the absolute best. But that's naturaly my opinion.
He's just so....hanyaan!:love:

Seemed to me as if he wanted to end the suffering of the world. Through a forced evolution isn't that what the tree was for? He wanted to rid the world of seperation and all the vile actions men commit right? Either way I didn't like him...haha

I think that Celestine wanted to make the world a better place, by letting it evolve into something like the Heavens. He basically wanted to make everything and everyone perfect. It's a shame that he didn't realize that most people on earth are pretty happy with life the way it is. Plus, I think perfection is so overrated. It'd get boring after a while.

I agree. it's fun with a few flaws here and there

Its fun being not perfect at all like if you've done something wrong you'll just say"I'm not perfect, only human":)
But i'm not saying its good to commit wrong doings, we should prevent them at least :sheep:

I can think of some things that several of the characters did that weren't perfect. Well intented yes, but hardly perfect. Not to metion names but, *cough* Urd *cough, cough* LOL
