Question

little beings inside the locker at the station in Men in Black? they don't look any further than their own boundries set for them by their leader

whomever gave kallan a thumbs down - your god will take revenge on you!!!!

Answer 1

Indeed so! My relatives are much like that. They all fear to question their dubious beliefs or explore others. I saw errors in the Bible when I was age 7, and I had the courage to doubt the family religion even then. I attended services of Buddhism. My sister learned of this, and her preacher prayed to have the "Devil of Buddhism' removed from me. Buddhist priests did not care if I attended Christian churches. The whole thing is a sad waste of time and money. Sis gives her church $50 per month.

Answer 2

Yes! Well some of them anyway. That movie had a lot in it that showed how we see things. The locker scene is one of my favorite parts. They took an object (the watch) an worshipped it. It ruled their lives and they panicked when it was taken away. They easily replaced it though with something similar.

Those little beings were stuck inside their little world and couldn't see anything beyond that. It is like the last scene when they open the door to a much larger scene.

Good movie.

It comforts them to make their universe no further than the reach of their arms.

Not really, but some do act as if they surrendered their brains to their minister.
