Laura Joy Bedford facilitated this month’s movie discussion group.
The Adam Project is a 2022 American science fiction action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Jennifer Garner. Ryan plays Adam Reed, a fighter pilot from the future who uses technology from his world to go back in time and meet his younger self. His mission is to save his wife, Laura. Maya Sorian, the leader of the dystopian world wants total dominion over the time machine technology and wants Laura killed because she knows too much.
The younger Adam helps the older Adam and the adventure begins as they attempt to change the future by destroying the time machine. Along the way, both Adams meet with their father and old resentments surface that eventually lead down the path to forgiveness.
This film was chosen because it explores many awakening subjects such as forgiveness, seeing things differently, the magnetic attraction of ego, Divine Love, correcting error, how love finds itself (the Divine Field), the concept of time, the suffering involved with the desire to be right and the desire for control, and much more, all within a fun story.
You can find this movie on Netflix.
