Movies and settings

Saving Private Ryan stirred some strange feelings in me when it came out. At that time, I was only a teenager, and it wasn't until my twenties that I started feeling a strong connection to the WWII period. But I remember watching that movie in the theater, and it felt so familiar to me. It felt like watching a memory. And I guess a lot of people got that sensation of having been there because of the realism of the movie, but for me it was more like touching on something I'd forgotten. It triggered something in me. I do remember being absorbed in the short scene with the family in France, and it was many years later that I discovered I was a French woman at that time.
Any WWII movie set in Europe will give me that PL feeling. Also movies set in 18th and 19th century Europe.

Me too.


I haven't watched the film because I wasn't sure about the battle scenes but may give it a go now.
 
As far as Movies go, the only movie that tends to glue me to my seat is horror genre and Robinhood Prince of Thieves.
 
Any movie concerning ww2 in Europe is bound to make a big impression on me. It can't go too many weeks before I feel like watching one. It's like a familiar feel to it and that time, almost like a comfort zone, even if it's tragic. People and families hiding and being sent to concentration camps are the ones that have the most impact.


Asian movies, especially Chinese have a big impact too. I watched Raise the red lantern like 10 years ago and I was like in a trance when seeing it, it felt so real and familiar. But then I watched it again last year I think and I didnt get the same reaction at all, so not sure what that means.


Irish/Scottish movies can also have this effect sometimes.

I recognize everything you say here, and used to watch them a lot, but lately could not finish watching "Last train to Auschwitz" (2004). The characters were so likable and all that crap happening to them had me turn it off.
 
Now thought I would say something that happened the other night while I was watching the current Viking show on the TV.


Now I have always been attracted to this Viking era of time and have long suspected a past life with the Vikings during this time. But have never had really any memories surface although the energy for a past life with the Vikings was there.


Yes in the show there could have been some minor triggers here and there. But the other night, there was a major trigger and which provoked it seemed a flashback into a past life. It was where the women were on the hillside / mountainside above the fiord watching the ships leave. This struck me to the most inner core of my being. When I saw this, I soooo deeply felt like I was one of those women on the hillside above the village watching their men and the ships leave. Since then have meditated on this and this seems to more a inkling to a past life where indeed I was a woman in this Viking era instead of a male who was involved in so much of the fighting. I seem to have always in this life sooooo detested anykind of fighting with being quite nurturing in my inner self.


Thought I would share this for whatever it is worth and Wishing Everyone the Best!
 
Its amazing where things come from when you don't expect it kmat.


I've managed to find a life as a mexican man just from seeing a clip of seville and cordoba. Yet i'd always had a feeling i'd been there.


Same with india under british rule, always imagined i'd been there when i saw anything about it.


How great tv can be. Good luck with getting more:D
 
kmatjhwy,


That was stirring for me, as well. I sure wish I could hone in on the Scandinavian/Viking past life. When I watch Vikings, things will pop into my head, but so far, not a person, or actual surroundings, events. However, the homes/village shots feel very familiar to me. How about you?
 
Now that is the way with me also Beth it seems. I have always been attracted to the Viking era with also having a fondness for Scandinavia (espicelly Norway) also. And it seems as for myself, there is energy there for myself having a past life during this Viking era. But no actually memories have arisen. It is like you have said with no memories of a person or events but the general familiar surroundings. And also it seems as if the clothing styles more fit for myself also. But when they showed that scene of those women on the hillside / mountainside watching as their men and the ships left, this struck to the very core of my being. And I saw myself as one of those women watching as their men and ships left. I have always wondered on this as how am attracted to the Viking era but I do not like war or fighting whatsoever. So being a woman during this Viking era makes quite abit of sense to me.


Wishing You the Best!

Interesting about the viking past life and possible Norway connection. :) I live here in this life, but I think I might have had former lives in Norway, too.
