3.0 out of 5 stars Future Fears, Sep 21 2001
By Rebecca Johnson "The Rebecca Review" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Apocalypse (VHS Tape)
Myths about the end of time are found all over the world. But, are all of them myths? Will the world end one day?

All of the world's religions believe the destruction of the world will come from the downward spiral of man's morality. There is also the idea that time must at some point, end. In modern history many have prophesied doomsday, yet Freud once said that the only thing certain about the next century is that we should all die in it.

Our fears of "The Apocalypse" may stem from our search for the meaning of life, a belief in prophecy, a fear of death or a fear of change. No matter how we look at this subject, most religions in the world believe that one day the earth will be filled with destruction.

The Ragnarok myth was featured extensively and tells the story of a wolf that is released from bondage and destroys the earth. However, the Tree of Life survives and the earth is reborn. This seems similar to the Christian story of how the earth is to be destroyed and a new heaven and a new earth will bring peace and happiness to all.

Various Myths are explored in detail, the final scene is of a man planting a palm tree and the narration explains that if you are planting a tree and the world is about to end, still plant the tree, because they end is the beginning of change and not the end at all.

This movie does not really explain the details of any religion. For that, you might want to look up: The Seven Signs of Christ's Return. In this particular video, an evolutionary perspective is more prevalent, but really only mentioned twice.

I felt this gave some insight into why we fear the end of the world.
