  • A scene in the movie "The Edge", where Anthony Hopkins explains a wisdom, that brilliantly sets the premise to the movie. The historical reference to the methaphor of the Rabbit and the Jaguar, (Cree Indians bit.ly/yWAq9V ) explain a deeper context of meanings which can be applied in life.

      Yep. He gave Mickey Rourke SIX CHANCES to make the same choice.and when he refused to, (on the set of "Desperate Hours") he LITERALLY beat him so bad six STUNTMEN had to pull him off of him. Next time, LISTEN to warnings from the stunt coordinator.

    I love the reference in this movie as it's the key as what's going to come. Charles is like the rabbit as he's unafraid and smarter than Bob (Steve also) which is the main reason he survived, with Bob being the panther as Charles is his prey as he wants to kill him to get his wife and money. I also love how kind and modest his character is (Charles), especially the line at the end of the movie, "They died, saving my life" even though Bob tried to kill him whereas Charles did his upmost best to save his life.

    Epic, classic movie!
    Love how Anthony Hopkins character Charles in the end asks the same metaphoric question the lodge owner had previously challenged him with...
    Charles: "Why is the rabbit unafraid?"
    Lodge Owner: " Because he's smarter than the panther."
    I could be wrong, but it's as if he's suggesting that he may have outsmarted Baldwin's character Bob who wasn't smart enough to kill him or survive himself.

    Wisdom brings strength, and knowledge gives power. Battles are won by listening to advice and making a lot of plans. Wisdom is too much for fools! Their advice is no good. No one but troublemakers think up trouble. Everyone hates senseless fools who think up ways to sin. Don't give up and be helpless in times of trouble. Don't fail to rescue those who are doomed to die. Don't say, “I didn't know it!” God can read your mind. He watches each of us and knows our thoughts. And God will pay us back for what we do. Honey is good for you, my children, and it tastes sweet. Wisdom is like honey for your life- if you find it, your future is bright.

    Just watched this movie yesterday. It was pretty good. The acting, script, and locations were all good. Was able to care about the characters easily. Tried watching a north Canadian wilderness crash movie after this one. I hated the lead character, who we are supposed to like, so I dumped that other movie after watching just a bit of it. The female lead seemed nice though, but that wasn't enough to overcome my dislike of the male lead. Besides she only spoke in either Eskimo or Inuit, so I couldn't understand what she was saying, and her character was sick for a while, so she wasn't talking much anyway.
    The Hopkins/Baldwin movie is much better. I really liked the character that Hopkins was playing. He nailed the role.📽️🎞️🎬🎭🎟️
