“Knowing” (2009) STORY & ENDING EXPLAINED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- “Knowing” (2009) was, in my opinion, a severely overlooked sci fi film/religious commentary which is one of my favorite performances from the great Nicholas Cage! I’ve liked this movie for a while and I decided to rewatch it and really didn’t realize just how much religious symbolism was in this film and I think this is one of the few films that tries to do this, and does it relatively successfully! So I hope you guys enjoy my in depth look into “Knowing”!

EE is eard end
100%. Totally underrated - and over analysed with regard things that don't matter after you have seen the movie. There is a lot packed into this running time. And NC, who can be very very funny, is very very real. Loved it! Thanks.
Video? It's not a video. It's nothing but a bunch of still shots, a slide show. Is that the best you can do?
Hey 4 nerds network guy did you have children when u made this vid here?
One thing i think you missed is i believe all children were taking from around the globe. If you look at the scenes toward the end of the movie during the chaos you dont see a single child in the streets of the city once caleb and the alien ships leave. So they saved hopfully all young children
People make fun of Nic Cage, but he gave a really good performance in this film.
He is a decent actor if given good material. Most of his movies where his acting has been meh, is because the script dialogue and movie direction have been mediocre.
He did well in this one. Leaving Las Vegas is obviously a high point.
It really just depends on the director and script even if you are an above average actor.
I always like to point to the prequel Star Wars movies as a good example of good actors being trashed by terrible dialogue and direction. Those movies had a number of good actors that have shined in almost everything else they have done, but were pretty sad in the Star Wars prequels. Natalie Portman and Ewen Macgregor come to mind.
@@Miskatonic1927 Gone in 60 secs was really good too!
In this movie, color out of space, mandy, and spiderman spiderverse he is pretty good tbh
Ever watched leaving Las Vegas 😆 great 🎥
Good performance?? He was a terrible father who separated himself from his family from an incident that had nuthin to do with them. And his acting for that character wad terrible
I met Nicholas Cage several times at the gym (in Las Vegas). He’s the only celebrity I’ve ever interacted with more than once. He was always cool, and very nice, right until people would start to realize who he was and start flocking. He would then retire into the private section. He always had scripts with him whilst working out. I always liked him as an actor.
It's like he seems like a cool friend, as though he is just a normal person, that's pretty cool.
I once met him at a resturaunt and he is a really nice guy
He has a natural presence, quite subtle.
I don’t blame him. I’m no one and don’t like attention. Can’t imagine not being able to go anywhere without being noticed and flocked to
Sucks he let Vince Neil make him look bad
The four alien guys are the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Raphael, who in the Book of Revelations are the ones charged with collecting the chosen ones from earth before the tribulations begin.
Bingo
Do you have scripture to back this up?
@@oxk6111 the Angel's are not named but it does say he will send his Angel's to gather the elect.
Matthew 24:31
[31]And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Not to save the world from solar flares though...that's Hollywood. Its linking to ancient aliens...but is vague enough to be Angel's too.
This could also reflect the horsemen of the apocalypse.
@Elmore The true believers are the Church. Once the Church, and the Holy Spirit are taken away in the rapture, those left will experience the great tribulation during which time, faith will be extremely difficult.

The “ sphere and mangled thing” are the biblical accurate descriptions of angles
Bethany Gass u mean angels*?
@@DragunTheOG whats even more interesting, is 13 people liked her comment but no one took a look at the misspelling
@Ivar the Boneless or they are bots..like literal robots
@@DragunTheOG Funny enough angles actually kinda works too.
The sphere angel is called ophanim while the mangled thing is probably a cherubim
at it seeming unfair to leave cages character behind: in christian religion in the old testament the prophet often is unable to reach the promise land but instead helps others to reach it.
That is a great point!
Nice man, nice
i guide others to a treasure i cannot posses
Old Testament god took no shit and gave no quarter
woow. great insight.
I like the fact that even in 2020 people still look behind to these great films and still want to explore deeper to the films and explain it at the best they could. Thanks for the video btw I was looking for this specific video.
Jason I’m glad you enjoyed it! I feel that just about any movie (not every one, but a lot) can have very interesting symbolism and details that can be found in multiple viewings.
I do too! its its REALLY strange to think about the fact that until the late 70s to the early 1980s once a movie came out that was that. The only time you were going to see it again was if it was played on TV - which meant that if it was a PG13 or R rated film it would either not be played, or if it WAS played it'd be a heavily censored and edited hachet job version of its original version. It's even more bizarre when you take into account the fact that there were (BY FAR) WAY more R rated movies being made back then too.
I too as well
We have to look back for good films, we have no choice, because today movies are nothing more than vehicles to use to push a bunch of "woke" politics and force them down everybody's throats. It's rare for a good movie to be made today.
thats no how solar flares work
New heaven and new earth. So many hints of what the bible talks about... the rock, the prophets, the fire, the calling, the ones left behind because they didn’t hear “the call”, the tree of life, the prophecy is inspired by the voices. I mean... so many things that point to the bible. When the boy said that his dad couldn’t go because only the chosen ones who heard the calling can I was like “ahhhh, there it is”. So, so good!
I think you are correct. I believe the movie reference the story of Ezekiel from the bible. The alien crafts represent what Ezekiel saw when the angels carried him off. Wheels within wheels. The solar flares also represent how some prophecies predict the world ending by fire. The tree at the end of the movie represents the tree of life in the garden of Eden, or a new beginning.
Robyn Robinson yes!! Absolutely, I agree. I loved it.
Represent revelations
But badly shown
Happy Quells indeed it does!
When Cage says "I Know" it's not a renewal of faith, but him acknowledging humanity will continue elsewhere.
It brings the title of the film full circle.
“As it is appointed once unto to man once to die but after this, the judgement”!
And because energy cannot be destroyed God has to put humanity somewhere after death! Those who received Christ Jesus into life everlasting and those who’ve rejected him into the everlasting fire! So truly man will exist somewhere forever, this u said in truth!
And because we only get one life to choose our eternal destination, choose life! This is only found in Jesus! 🤍
Love In Christ 🤍
Caleb and Abby were not the only ones who "heard the call". That's why there are mulitple ships taking off from the Earth and the new planet.
Exactly
Yes that had to be, for the sake of genetic diversity and to avoid incest, that apart from being wrong in any way possible, would make the whole exercise pointless.
Are you ?! If the aliens are that advanced I am sure inbreeding would not be a concern. Plus who knows what the aliens think of the human concept of incest
@@stischer47 lol true
I guess everyone else heared those same calls, except John....
In the Biblical image, that's not a pile of fictional creatures: it's a Cheribum. They're a type of angel described as having four heads (a lion, an eagle, an ox, and a man), being covered in wings, those wings being covered in eyes, and having two human hands. They guard the Throne of God.
LioConvoy's Reviews I remember what a cherubim was, I just wasn’t able to see that in the image. Thanks for filling that in
You cann see the in the hieroglyphics
Cherubs look intimidating too. They stand 18ft tall. What's funny is Satan is also described as a Cherub. I'd never wanna see Satan lol
Explain more please! 😢
@@TheGravityShifter I thought satan was supposed to be really attractive?
Lucinda means light, Caleb means faithful, Diana was both the goddess of the hunt and childbirth, John means graced by god, and Abby means “joy of the father” which could mean God’s joy. This movie has layers upon layers.
Ahhhhhh, very nice
wow wow, very nice
Could be coincidence, since a lot of names have religious origins. For instance, my name comes from the Archangel Michael, coming from the Hebrew question "Who is like God?" Does it mean anything about me? Not really. With Diana being the goddess of the hunt, does that have any relevance in this film? Not really. Does Abigail meaning "joy of the father" affect anything? No, not at all.
@@michaelweiske702 definitely not a coincidence when the entire movie is riddled with bible references.
@@michaelweiske702 yeah you’re also not in the movie, so your name is irrelevant,you fucking dumbass.
They've managed to merged religion, science fact and fiction in one movie.

2012 did it pretty well too, but I don’t think it did it as good as Knowing.

@@brysonmeeksproductions1801 I’ll admit that one scene was dumb. 😂😂😂😂
To the two above (I can not use the reply feature on here), that literally doesn’t happen at all. It is connected to what happens in the story, sure, but it’s hammed up way too much to be accurate, especially since the one guy above me acts like it was actually a real scene
It’s kinda sad that everyone is running at the end of the movie when really there is nowhere to run and hide from the sun, or rather from God’s wrath. Some know that their time has come, while most people show their true colors of crime before meeting their maker, and what do they have to show for? Nothing. Ultimately the best movie explanation done by you. I’m your new sub!
Thanks so much my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it and you make a very great point!
@Miguel Ortega technically, yes and no.
They potentially could’ve survived the blast, but the whole world would’ve been uninhabitable.
@@chiefzackery6651 also it requires 500 people to repopulate the earth. There probably won’t be 500 people left.
@Miguel Ortega underground bunker......Why, that's A SOLAR FLARE if you do survive THE ATMOSPHERE WOULD BE GONE AND YOU WOULD BE DEAD
It's literally explained in-movie that it is possible to survive the initial flare-if you go a mile underground, there are mineshafts even twice as big as that lol
WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN MASON
Underrated comment lmao bo1 is streets ahead
I watched the movie, and I think they
mean all off the dates of bad days where people die. Like in that plane sence
Lmao

I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY FUCKING NUMBERS
this gave me chills, imagine if this might would happen at the end too.
This movie always kinda creeped me out because being a religious person, it's not too far off of what many religions believe what the end of the world could look like...Kinda scary
Technically the sun will one day grow too big for us to handle and it will kill us
Every sun grows and one day explodes but we will be long dead before it explodes
It will happen tho.. But u r dead that time
Damn i just finished watching this!
Pink Rose or eventually people will destroy the earth to the point where we die
I just finished watching "Knowing" and the ending of the two children landing into a new world giving me a vibe of Adam and Eve with the tree of life....
Time to restart human life, alabama style
Yeah, some message better to live in ignorant bliss like a goddamn farm animal than to be educated about the evils of the world......in hindsight eating that apple was the best gift Eve ever gave the world.
@@spetsnatzlegion3366 there are other kids there so no worries
Orgies...
Thalassaer I can hear the sirens. Run everybody !!!
There are other children that were drop off in different locations.
This movie scared the living nights out of me. Thinking about how the world may end in that way was wow. Of course I have other favorite disaster movies like, 2012, San Andreas, Geo Storm, The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact and Volcano. But this one stays on top of my list.
@Troll uNeed and this one is thw only own that could actually happen if our sun ever got to that point its unlikely to ever happen but it could and we could do nothing but burn
@@velvetdarksoul8741 scary thing about it, is that a flare of that magnitude is not completely impossible. Granted we have never seen one, in recorded history, but the consensus can't rule out the probability.
I'm gonna be real with yall. If I knew the world was gonna end. I'm not gonna do shit but sit where I am and just let it happen while blasting henti really loud through my speakers.
Just kidding, i'm not that weird.....maybe.
I spent months researching about CMEs, lol
😂😂😂😂 I find it humorous when stuff like this scares people.
I loved this film! My son absolutely hated it. When I asked him why, he said that human’s loose all of their technology and he deeply hated that idea. His answer put the movie in a different light, to me. I felt that the reason the father was not allowed to go with the children is because he would bring the old ways of humanity with him and humans were to have a new start not continuing the same destructive path the humanity had been on. I think the biblical references in the movie shows that the destruction of earth by the sun may have been an act of God. Judgment Day.
I think you hit the nail right on the head! 🙌
I agree but kids can be just aggressive and without teaching where would they know what right and what wrong without having to go throw it them self the aliens where seeing leaving at the end mening it basicly adan and eve and have to re do everything but I don't get it like I said Kids won't know what a wrong thing what's a good thing without experience so they would have to do what ever they wanted and learn and then what would rules be laws they have who knows it obvious ment up to you to decide in your head but if you think outside the box and realistically what would that outcome be like?
Good reasoning but what makes the Aliens think these children will not repeat the same mistakes without the adults guidance.
@Haudi yo thats the beauty of it they have grow up and go through generations for all that to come to
I agree with everything you just said, I think the aliens where made by God specifically to save the human race and everything on the previous earth like animals and plants, that the angels/aliens are just sitting back learning the future ready to do there job again and start a new world with a different name different look and different way of life's and living and learning. That the people alive today are here to progress this world and technology and all, working its way to what we would think the end. It's never the end we just don't know it.
What a weird time to be reminded that this movie exists
Well we are now in the last few years
Yep especially since 2020 was such a sh*t year
2020 was a beautiful year!! Just less to do!! That’s simply all!! And the COVID restrictions. Please I beg you be optimistic. Maybe it’ll go away!

I Could argue that E.E. could also mean an Extinction Event (a widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth). But still, Great explanation and Video.
Much appreciated my friend!
I feel that way too, although when they went to Lucindas mobile home and looked under the bed, “EVERYONE ELSE” was scratched about 12 times. Technically, it could mean both. Suppose
we’ll never know.
@drewski west dude, it's one thing to go after how I made this video, but don't go after other users simply because you have this need to feel smarter than people. I'll say it again, if you don't like it you are more than welcome to leave. I don't tolerate this kinda behavior on my channel
Extinction Event goes against the number scheme of: date,# of ppl died and location (of disaster). Since everyone else on earth will die on that date, the location is redundant and left blank.
It could also mean Everyone Everywhere. Because all the rest were the number dead and the location.
I actually think the whisper people are Angels, Just because they seem to have wings. Maybe this is another version of Noah's ark. But this time only children will survive
I agree with the angel idea. Took me a couple of views to understand that's what they were going for but that seems to be the case
@@4NerdsNetwork same here nerdy imw and its just. Great bizarre film that keeps one thinking and the ending was very unpredictable and unlike typical apocalyptic films. Cheers!
You mean the aliens
They were actually Aliens.
Personally, I would like to think they are ET's from the Pleiadian star system as this was also mentioned by John.
NICOLAS SHOULDED WON AND OSCAR FOR THIS MOVIE..
ACTUALLY THIS MOVIE FREAK ME OUT FOR MONTHS AND STILL I THINK ABOUT THIS MOVIE
Wait till you find out the Bible is real
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt terrified by this movie and it's ending. Couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks as a teen
i saw this movie years ago and suddenly was like YOOO! I need answears now
something else I just realized about those 4 aliens is that they're basically the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse
Not likely. The four horsemen are a symbol of events that represent how the world will end. In the movie these beings are definitely meant to represent the four archangels; Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. They deliver messages from God and are the only angels who directly interact with humans.
Yeah the sphere that they came in was a dead giveaway.
@@Alice_Typhon the 4 living creatures more likely depicted in revelations of christ and Ezekiel vision
I agree because in the credits the spaceship was called “the chariot” and the four horsemen come in chariots
They're the 4 angels
To be honest.. after when I first watched it back in 2010... my eyes were in tears as I suddenly realise the real thing about this movie.... i realise that I felt how the end of the world feels like. Especially when John united with his family for the last time... Then his Dad says that this is not end...
The camera man is the only one who survives
*Always Has Been*
What always got me about the movie was it's sheer brilliance. It was also quite well acted. It has always struck me weird that this movie wasn't given more credit than it deserved. Why were some critics so harsh about the acting or directing? It has so many hidden meanings and levels to it.
That confuses me too. It's one that a lot of people forgot about even like you said, it's quite a brilliant story...perhaps there were a lot of people who didn't quite understand some of the very interesting symbolism...which I suppose is pretty common now as a lot viewers really don't care to think too much about what they're watching and when they're forced to do so, well, they don't like it...it's odd
The scary thing is if a Solar Flare that’s big enough did hit Earth this could actually happen ☹️
Chances are, the reason why the ratings are so low, is due to the sheer fact that religion plays a large role in the grand scheme of the story, and movies that are tied into religion always get lower scores no matter what.
Roger Ebert, who was one of the finest critics ever. Gave it a brilliant review. And also put it into his top 5 of 2009. I remember being so chuffed knowing that a well regarded cinephile shared my view! Some films become more appreciated as time goes on, and this deserves to!!!
This is why i refuse to believe in critics now. I just watch whatever seems interesting by the slightest first glance without ever reading into reviews or critic scores before i do. They’re just gatekeepers, taste makers, and sometimes give you a wrong impression of the movie because individual audiences’ views don’t necessarily match with them critics. It’s just entertainment by the end of the day so why be so serious.
I thought this was old until you mentioned coronavirus I swear I almost had a heart attack
😂😂 ya sorry, that's gotten a couple of people
@@4NerdsNetwork in what ways are you nerdy?
Same here....
This movie was so well made it still disturbs me to this day.
There was a theory I remember reading that the reason why this aliens saves humanity is because it happened to there world and they don't want it to happen to us.
That's definitely a fair theory!
I remember someone saying that aliens are people from the future and here on Earth to visit us, I personally think it’s a theory.
Could be that if they are an elder/more evolved species they have already mastered deciphering time and chronology or that they simply calculated the events after study to a very accurate degree
@@joshuacropper5041 Also possible but there has to be a reason for them to come all the way here just to save us. are we that important? or do they simply just treasure life?

This movie genuinely felt like those movies where the antagonist won. And while it was incredibly depressing I still enjoyed this movie
Rabbits are also a symbol of purity, often connected with the virgin Mary.
That's how they got involved with Easter, funnily enough.
Considering the religious overtones of the movie, I am not sure that this was incidental.
Rabbits are a symbol of fertility and were associated with Istar(Easter) long before Christianity.
@@FMykal Neat!
biblically speaking,,,rabbits are not a symbol of purity... they represent evil spirits. Easter is a pagan holiday based on the worship of Ishtar a pagan goddess...jesus died on Passover and never celebrated easter. Peace :)
@@67gittith I was not speaking Biblically, but in regards to Catholic symbolism in art.
I am aware of the Passover/Easter issue, but I did not think it relevant to the movie.
AnomalyINC well, actually rabbits were the totem animals of Esther/Hestia and symbolize fertility! Never had they anything to do with the Virgin Mary until, because I’m guessing you wouldn’t outright lie on here, recently but that’s just Mystery:Babylon attempting to cover her tail still calling The Day of the Resurrection after a heathen goddess complete with still coloring eggs and hosting Easter egg hunts. The rabbits symbolize FERTILITY AND REPOPULATION in the movie as well! Smh

I never understood all the negativity for this movie. I always thought it was phenomenal.
Probably because of panicky Rose Byrne. She plays the same role mostly and is bad at it
Interestingly enough Roger Ebert was one of the few critics who was more positive on the film (he gave it 4 stars).
He passed away a few years later, and at the time he viewed it, he was already pretty ill. Makes me wonder if that gave him more of a different perspective on viewing "end of the world" stories.
I am glad this move isn't forgotten!
I've seen a short clip of this movie and got me caught up so I search for a full movie but I can't find one online so this explanation made me understood everything about the movie without even watching it. Thanks.

It's on RUclips Movies.
This is one of my favorite movies and really worth the watch.
@@rickythehumanoid I was just bouta say that🤣🤣
I just watched this movie today and it reminded me of the event back in July, 2012, where a solar superstorm had a near miss to our planet. One of the people in NASA said that "If the eruption had occurred only one week earlier, Earth would have been in the line of fire." Although the damage of it if it hit Earth would not like be as crazy as in the movie, it can still trigger a worldwide blackout. It's crazy I know but picture that out, an Earth without electricity for months in this era would be most likely catastrophic enough.
I remember that.....would have knocked us back 150 years I remember according to one scientist.
You forgot to mention that there were hundreds of alien ships leaving the earth, suggesting that the two kids weren't the only ones they saved. After all two people are not realistically enough to preserve a species, my guess is each ship took its own pair of children from different parts of the world in order to create a diverse genetic base for re population. If the Tree of Knowledge thing is correct, the two children will likely grow into super intelligence before they reach maturity, after which point they will procreate and their descendants would too grow into intelligent more advanced humans and then procreate with the descendants of the others taken from earth and so on till after a dozen generations or so you have a larger human population with enough genetic diversity to prevent themselves from inbreeding into extinction.
I realized that. I simply only pointed out the main two due to the apparent symbolism behind it 👍
But if you look at it from the biblical standpoint then two people are enough. If of course you believe that claptrap.
The bible says we'll be like the angels, there's no reprocreation there
Caleb: "Looks like it's me and you to repopulate the world!"
Abbie: "Sorry- i don't like you in that way. Friends?"
🤣
Ngl Abbie won't have much choice
Plus they would have to be inbreeding thier children unless the angels saved other humans
@@KaiserStormTracking womt be the first to to that in history
@@samdacosta4676 Mhm
@@KaiserStormTracking You didn't see the movie or you'd know they did. Several religions, not just the Abrahamic ones spoke of their own versions and interpretations of a 'tree of life' and in the movie you see two children of many different races with their own trees and gardens.
That movie must of been mind blowing, I mean it checked almost literally everything off of my bucket list of conspiericy theories
This movie is ridiculously underrated. This indeed was an awesome & horrifying story with an amazing ending
This film creeped me out when I watched it.
Fr, I saw it with my family when I was 4 and had nightmares for months. One day I woke up thinking it was happening lol
This definitely messed me up as a kid . Idk what made my family think this was ok for us to watch together LOL.
Why would you watch it as a KID 😩🤧😞
I feel like I watched this as a kid but never got traumatized, maybe I didn't watch it and I'm thinking of another movie LOL
I find it so weird that I decided to watch this movie over again and this video was posted a couple months ago. It just has me wondering why is everybody coming back to this movie all of a sudden.
same lol
Jack Kelly thanks.
Because this scenario is inevitable. Whether it happens now or in two billion earth years as we know them. What keeps things interesting is that we just don’t know. So yes, I too just thought of “Knowing”, and maybe there’s a reason; the end of life here, very soon.
It's getting closer.
The end is closer than we think! To God be the glory either way ❤️🙏🏾
Imo the ending scene is the best. Not only were Caleb and Abby saved but you can see other "arks", implying other children made the voyage to this new world.
Hugely underrated movie. Went in blind with my wife as missed our planned movie, so knew nothing about it at all, and both loved it- talked about it all night after leaving the cinema.
I was trying to find this movie since i remember seeing it as a child but i only remeber the very beggining with the little girl and when John fogured out what the numbers mean, i thought this was a normal action movie where they tried to save people. I never couldve thought that this was how the movie went, im so confused haha

I really enjoyed this movie, I’ve watched it many times and I remember going to see it as a little kid when it first came out in 2009. Great movie and great video!
J and D Productions I really enjoyed it as well! And I’m glad you enjoyed the video :) got plenty more where that came from
Abigail’s life in the Bible serves as a role model for all of us. Her life teaches us that love can triumph over anger, that often we do not understand a particular event in our lives, but if we maintain our standards, ethics and dignity, blessings may well follow. Caleb in the Old Testament, one of the spies sent by Moses from Kadesh in southern Palestine to spy out the land of Canaan. Only Caleb and Joshua advised the Hebrews to proceed immediately to take the land; for his faith Caleb was rewarded with the promise that he and his descendants should possess it.
Diana means luminous and perfect, showing that Lucinda really loved her daughter.
These names were not chosen at random.
That flipping of the bed scene is honestly terrifying
Did my research of reflecting most of the past disasters. On Lucinda's paper: Stockport air disaster on 06/04/67, the Mexico City earthquake on 09/19/85, Chernobyl radioactive fallout on 4/26/86, crash of Pan Am Flight 103 on 12/21/88, the Kobe earthquake on 01/17/95, the Indian Ocean tsunami on 12/26/04, the Oklahoma City bombing on 04/19/95, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and of course the September 11 attacks.
In Lucinda's mobile home the news articles on her wall show the Mount Erebus disaster of the Air New Zealand Flight 901 on 11/28/79, Mount St. Helen's eruption on 05/18/1980, and the Blizzard of 1978 in the northeastern United states.
The scheduled Turkish Airlines Flight 981 that crashed into the Ermenonville Forest on 03/03/74, and the Mecca tunnel tragedy on 07/03/90 are possibly on it.
Damm. Your research played off
I agree with you that this movie was definitely overlooked and deserves more recognition. I also agree that the final scene with beethoven’s 7th 2nd movement fits in perfectly with the movie.
This movie gets better the deeper you think about it, I didn't really "get it" at first but the more I thought about the themes and realizing all the angel stuff I appreciated it more
Just watched the movie now and it made me appreciate life and everyone around who I loved and forgive those people who had wrong me.
I think Mr Cage does not get the credit he deserves as an artist. Thank you for bringing it to the forefront. Good movie, too.
I think another meaning for EE is “earth’s end”
Right I was just thinking that 🙂 great minds think alike
Or extinction event
As far as I remember, in the film it means "everyone else"
@@user-ce2ko6sp3m yes
This is one underrated gem. Also, Cage is such a great actor, when he wants to be... I fully recommend watching this, it's a good movie.
JOHNNY CAGE!
This movie in my opinion is a reminder to treat every day as if it might be the last. That nothing in life is a given, and we should treat every day and every thing as a gift. It serves to remind us that there are some things that we either aren't meant to know, or would be so horrible we wouldn't want to know it
I have 1 minor disagreement with you.. the ending tree is the, "tree of life," which is the representation of most beliefs including darwinism as the connection of all living things together and to their environment. So not only representing new life and a new opportunity but how science and belief can coexist together.
I want to say I really enjoyed your analysis, well done sir.
Thanks for sharing your review of this unusual film! (Nicholas Cage must have an interest in fantastic stories, since he stars in a few others.) There are a few additional items worth mentioning about this movie "Knowing." Perhaps the most important thing to note is that there is no good science to support the idea that a solar flare from our own sun could deliver such destruction, so the story is firmly rooted in the realm of fantasy from the start. Also, how could anybody, including an advanced race of angelic beings, know decades ahead of time about the event (unless they caused it, that is).
The scene where the children say their goodbyes is truly heart-wrenching. It may be that only children could be saved, if the plan was to allow humanity to regrow without carrying over too many old ideas that would corrupt the new world. Since several alien ships are seen leaving the Earth, we can infer that other children were also saved. In the new paradise where the children are deposited, wouldn't that large tree represent the "Tree of Life"? (Perhaps the Tree of Knowledge was waiting somewhere for the children to discover later.) In the sky behind the tree, we can see a number of the alien ships leaving. It would appear that they had spread the rescued children out across a large area. It will be a long time before they (or their descendants) ever discover the others.
I haven't seen this because my friends didn't have much to say about it when it came out. Definitely want to see it now. Great video man
John Lambert it’s definitely an interesting one! Not one without its flaws but I’ve always enjoyed it! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicholas Cages is good in this. His car journey at the end of the film is awesome.
its basically scp-001 scenarios. just altered quite a lot or just barely
Yes, but the slime is the fire and the humans are normal XD
Can someone describe what scp is like I don’t understand
@@supercharger101 imagine men in black but like the monsters are scarier creepier and more deadly and some of the scps are objects and other things, it's weird
@@jackcrawford4025 ohhhhhh ok now I get it thank you
@@supercharger101 ya no prob, I just gave you like barest minimum description, I would do some more research on the scp stuff because there is A LOT of stuff about it
This is one of those films that resonates and stays with you. Making you think and wonder after you finish watching it. That is what makes this a great film.
He spends the entire movie seeking knowledge and in the end, the final words are "I know." Perfect.
Loved this film... the way u narate the story is very detail and precise. All is good.
I loved it as well! I'm very glad you enjoyed the video! :)
@@4NerdsNetwork
This is no stopping this last disaster?
The picture/ drawing was Ezekiel, seeing God, the great wheel in the sky, and an angel...
"Any technology too advance for us to comprehend might as well be called magic'.
So the angel are just advanced alien lifeform which conduct experiment on other races, finding them a planet which is destined to be destroyed after an amount of time (or maybe they trigger the flare themselves to sterilise a planet before resetting it, the same as we do to lab equipment). So, yay, angel.
Excellent explanation recruit. When Gods fed up, we’ll be gone. For sure.

I never would have noticed the camera filter thing if you hadn't pointed it out. That little detail hinting at the ending creeped the hell out of me.
Well I suppose I'm....glad? That's creeped you out? 😂
Nerdy In Many Ways idk I think just the fact that the detail is somewhat subtle
It's also worth noting that when the children are left on the new planet, there are many spaceships ascending from the planet suggesting that these two children are not the only ones who have been brought to this new eden.
Nicholas Cage is in literally every franchise. 😂
Huh, never really noticed that but he kinda is 😂
@@4NerdsNetwork The same goes for Samuel L. Jackson

Wow i just discovered your channel. Your quality of work is amazing!
DanTheKiller Games I really appreciate it! :) I’m really glad you enjoy my content!
I watched this movie when it came out but this explanation video captured the details in the movie much better for me. Thanks for expanding on the themes that were easy to miss.
It was my pleasure! :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
The last scene broke my heart, where John tried to leave with Caleb but the Angel stopped him, and told John can’t come. And the scene easily reminded me of Jesus’ last parable “many are called, but few are chosen.”
...looked like 'weeping and gnashing of teeth" to me....very sad
You kinda complained about the unfairness of John not being able to go with them, but it is yet another biblical reference. Believe it or not Moses was not allowed into the promised land due to his fiery temper. God told Moses to both speak to and smite a rock to produce water. However Moses was so angry at an ever complaining Israel, that he smote the rock without speaking to it. God then banned Moses from the promised land and he was taken away on the top of a mountain, leaving Joshua to lead. Similarly, John had an attitude of violence and disbelief that disqualified him from going with them. Yes, he heeded the message, but attacked the messenger.
What do you meen with an ever complaining israel ?
You could say John’s reactions were understandable however. He took a gun to chase the strangers because he was defending his son
Wow I didn't have to watch the entire movie but just to listen to this video. Thank you for sharing. God bless you
No problem at all! :) God bless you as well!
This is a beautiful film, especially the main character's house🤔
I love the design of the house as well
What happened to Nic Cage?
And why people started hating him?
He's like an A+ actor before. Me and my father like most of his movies, and now he's doing small movies now, why?
mind telling me.
He has tons of debt so he has to take crappy jobs. However this movie is awesome.
Watch ‘Mandy’
I love how symbolic they made this movie. In the religious they found, the man is on his knees and at the end when John sees the angel he falls to his knees.
This movie legitimately gives me the biggest sense of fear and smallness, being that things like Solar Flairs and Extinction Size Meteors can wipe us out at literally any given moment and we are completely powerless to stop it. This should give humanity a very good reason to want to expand out into the universe as quickly as possible, in order to prevent extinction.
Christians For Pewdiepie I'm sure we have the tech but the peeps in charge won't let us have them...
Oh my God, I finally found out. 22:48. This scene right here. I remember seeing this scene in a movie when i was a kid, and only this scene, and I had no clue what movie it was from, I couldn't believe they actually ended a disaster movie with the world ending and the protagonists hugging and being engulfed in flame. It stuck with me solely for that aspect, because I'd never seen it done before, and I didn't know what disaster movie had the balls to end like that. This was like 10 years ago when I saw this scene. I can't believe I finally found the damn movie it was from, and the story behind it.
before watching this review: knowing;
after watching this review: knowing too much.
I stumbled onto this movie almost by accident, has never heard of it. I was blown away, it was a very good movie.
I think the Whisper people are what humans would call Angels.
I think the Angels did not take adults because adults are unpure and contaminated where the kids are innocent and pure.
I wondered at the end as to whether they were on a different planet or Earth after it was reborn after the "cleansing". IIRC the Book of Revelations talks about how the Kingdom of heaven will come down to earth.
EXACTLY
This movie is eerie in the beginning but when the revelations kicks in it became very sci-fi
Everytime , I watch this movie i always realize that everything we have now is temporary 💔
My all time favorite end of the world movie. I actually saw a few different images of the list of numbers and started to copy them down myself.
Fact about me: I was born a psychic, this movie really speaks to me, seeing how I have wierd predictions of things that I haven't done but when it happens, it's exactly how I saw it. Besides, I also have a big brain thirsty of facts, and every day, I watch videos on natural, man made, and interstellar disasters.
I know you might think I'm crazy, watching these videos even though they're very negative, but I continue watching them anyway.
This movie is an interesting one. It's not too bad... but it came out at a weird time: back in 2009, there was something called The Wedge Strategy, a Creationist movement pushing Intelligent Design in full strength, lobbying for the teaching of ID in public schools. ID argued that the universe was created by an "Intelligent Designer", which was supposed to be God, but the theory was presented in a way where the person arguing for ID had some "plausible deniability" and could state the ID theory did not make any claims as to the identity of the "Designer.
If you keep this in mind, it's easy to see how the final act of the movie kinda worked to undermine itself: the "whisper people" are clearly meant to be Angels by the author, but are presented in a way which you can leave room for interpretation and argue they are Aliens. Almost in a way of "plausible deniability", mirroring the ID strategy. So it came across as a somewhat dishonest religious movie that tried to mask itself as a scifi movie which, given the political context at the time, is understandable. I think it was mostly this that managed to piss a good chunk of the audience off.
IMHO, the movie could have been much better if they killed this ambiguity. Make it a 100% scifi movie or, alternatively, embrace the theme of prophecy and make it a 100% religious movie. Either alternative would likely have worked better. Or maybe it just came out at the wrong time, people wouldn't have cared these days.
2 cents...
While i agree to an extent, i think the idea of its ambiguity helped to draw people in and see a more "realistic" attempt at the spiritual/supernatural than the Left Behind series did. Upfront religion turns a lot of people off and they do a good job in this movie with a more secular viewpoint. However i think it would be interesting to have a full Christian version of this.
Hey wheres my 2 cents i read all of it :(
They weren't aliens, they were angels. The story would be equivalent to the rapture.
when i first watched this as a kid, the frantic scrawling on wood surfaces terrified me
Great video, man! I believe the tree in the last scene was the Tree of Life.
I can see that as well. I thought of the tree of knowledge simply because of the Adam and Eve symbolism but that makes sense too. Thanks for tuning in!
@@4NerdsNetwork I hear you. Both trees were in the garden though. Unfortunately they chose the wrong tree!
Wait but why did the boy keep writing numbers near the end? I don't think he was rewriting them, was he?
I think either he was writing numbers for disasters in the new world or in my opinion, and what I think is the more reasonable reason, was so that the whisper people could remind John about the numbers Lucinda scratched into the school door so that John could bring the kids to the place for the kids to leave with them
I remember this movie, I watched it at least 20 times lol I was one of those end of the world nut jobs.
It is a really fascinating apocolypse movies!
Yeah definitely nothing around that looks anything like it could be the end of the world.............right?
The writer of this movie has a great mind. He linked the end of time to a real accident that happened before 2009.
I do believe in the end of time (my time) that's why I'm enjoying my life.
When our time ends we don't know what's next but we know the future of our loved ones because we have faith in them.
I watched the day the earth stood still then googled movies like it....... I turned this on just becuase it was "similar" and was 2 hours long......... I fell asleep after 15 minutes and woke up around the 40 min mark and hoooo boy im glad i did, this is now in my all time favorites list
