[quote:Michael Lee Hill:MV8xMDA2NDkyXzE1ODQwNzIwXzc4NTNEODg0] [quote:ll eViL bUddHa ll] Tim Burton must be somewone high from the Spitual realms because his films are designed to raise consiousness. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is mind blowing in it's spiritual wisdom. I have not seen Alice yet, I can't wait. EXACTLY. Haven't seen Nightmare Before Christmas since I was a kid, I should check it out again. This movie raises conscious, definitely. [/quote] Oh Man, Get the Remasterd version. check this out. Jack is the king of Halloween town who's spiritual job it is to provide the "Scare" for humanity? from the film... This is Halloween Boys and girls of every age wouldn't you like to see something strange Come with us and you will see, this our town of Halloween This is Halloween, this is Halloween, pumpkins scream in the dead of night This is Halloween, everybody make a scene, trick or treat till the neighbours come and die of fright It's our town, everybody scream, in this town of Halloween I am the one hiding under your bed, teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red I am the one hiding under your stairs, fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song In this town, don't we love it now, everybody's waiting for the next surprise Round that corner, then, hiding in the trash cans, something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll.. Scream, this is Halloween, red and black and slimy green, Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fine, say it once, say it twice, take a chance and roll the dice, ride with the moon in the dead of night Everybody scream, everybody scream, in our town or Halloween I am the clown with the tear-away face, here in a flash and gone without a trace I am the who when you call "Who's there?", I am the wind blowing through your hair I am the shadow on the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween Tender lumplings everywhere, life's no fun without a good scare, that's our job but we're not mean in our town of Halloween In this town, don't we love it now, everyone's waiting for the next surprise Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee, make you jump out of your skin! This is Halloween, everybody scream, won't you please make way for a very special guy Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch, everyone hail to the pumpkin king Now, this is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song La la la la la, etc, etc… Even though Jack is King of this realm, He has grown tired of all the FEAR and doubt and scaring people Jack’s Lament Sung by Jack There are few who deny, At what I do I am the best, For my talents are renowned far and wide When it comes to surprises In the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying With the slightest little effort Of my ghost-like charms, I have seen grown men give out a shriek With a wave of my hand And a well-placed moan, I have swept the very bravest off their feet! Yet year after year, It’s the same routine And I grow so weary Of the sound of screams And I Jack, the pumpkin king, Have grown so tired of the same old thing… Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones An emptiness began to grow, There’s something out there far from my home, A longing that I’ve never known [i][b]I’m the master of fright , and a demon of light[/b][/i] And I’ll scare you right out of your pants To a guy in Kentucky I’m Mister Unlucky And I’m known throughout England and France And since I am dead, I can take off my head To recite Shakespearean quotations. No animal nor man can SCREAM like I can With the fury of my recitations But who here would ever understand That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Would tire of his crown, if they only understood He’d give it all up if he only could… Oh, there’s an empty place in my bones, That calls out for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears So Jack takes a walk and finds a undiscovered area with "Portals" into other Realms, The lights of the Christmas tree catch Jacks eye and he goes through this portal "Ascends" into the 5th Dimention of Love. Jack is floored... Whats This? What’s this? What’s this? There’s colour everywhere. What’s this? There’s white things in the air. What’s this? I can’t believe my eyes, I must be dreaming, Wake up Jack, this isn’t fair. What’s this? What’s this? What’s this? There’s something very wrong. What’s this? There’s people singing songs. What’s this? The streets are lined with little creatures, Everybody seems so happy Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this? What’s this? There’s children throwing snowballs, instead of throwing heads They’re busy building toys and absolutely no one’s dead. There’s frost on every window Oh, I can’t believe my eyes! And in my bones I feel the warmth that’s coming from inside Oh, look! What’s this? They’re hanging mistletoe They kiss? Why that looks so unique. Inspired! They’re gathering around to hear a story Roasting chestnuts on a fire. What’s this? What’s this, in here? They’ve got a little tree. How queer. And who would ever think? And why? They’re covering it with tiny little things, They’ve got electric lights on strings And there’s a smile on everyone, so now correct me if I’m wrong This looks like fun, this looks like fun! Oh, could it be I got my wish? What’s this? Oh, my. What now? The children are asleep But look. There’s nothing underneath. No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them Only little cozy things secure inside their dreamland… Aaah… What’s this?! The monsters are all missing and the nightmares can’t be found And in their place there seems to be good feeling all around. Instead of scream I swear I can hear music in the air, The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere. The sights! The sounds! They’re everywhere and all around I’ve never felt so good before, this empty place inside of me is filling up, I simply cannot get enough I want it, oh, I want it, oh, I want it for my own. I’ve got to know, I’ve got to know, what is this place that I have found. WHAT IS THIS? …Christmas town..? Hmmmm… Jack is so taken with what he has found in the 5-th D, Chistmastown that he tries to go back to his realm and explain to them the Love he had found... Town Meeting Song Listen everyone! There were objects so peculiar, the were not to be believed All around things to tantalize my brain. It’s a world unlike anything I’ve ever seen And as hard as I try I can’t seem to describe, Like the most improbable dream. But you must believe when I tell you this It’s as real as my skull and it does exist. Here, let me show you… This is a thing called a present, The whole thing starts with a box. A box? Is it steel? Are there locks? Is it filled with a pox? A pox? How delightful, a pox! If you please! Just a box with bright-coloured paper, And the whole thing is topped with a box. A bow? But why? How ugly! What’s in it? What’s in it? That’s the point, not to know. It’s a bat! Will it bend? It’s a rat! Will it break? Perhaps it’s the head that I found in the lake. Listen now, you don’t understand That’s not the point of Christmas land. Now, pay attention. We pick up an over-sized sock and hang it like this on the wall. Oh, yes. Does it still have a foot? Let me see, let me look. Is it rotted and covered with gook? Uh, let me explain. There’s no foot inside, but there’s candy! Or sometimes it’s filled with small toys. Small toys? Do they bite? Do they snap? Or explode in the sack? Perhaps they just spring out and scare girls and boys. What a splendid idea This Christmas sounds fun I fully endorse it Let’s try it at once! Everyone, please! Now, not so fast. There’s something here that you don’t quite grasp. (Well, I may as well give them what they want…) And the best, I must confess I have saved for the last. For the ruler of this Christmas land Is a fearsome king with a deep might voice Least that’s what I’ve come to understand. And I’ve also hear it told that he’s something to behold Like a lobster, huge and red. When he sets out his sleigh with his rain gear on Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms. That is, so I’ve hear it said. And on a dark, cold night, under the full moonlight He flies into a fog like a vulture in the sky And they call him Sandy Claws (evil laugh) Well, at least they’re excited, but they don’t understand That special kind of feeling in Christmas land Oh, well. All the Halloweeen townspeople think Jack has lost his mind Jack’s Obsession Something's up with Jack, something's up with Jack. Don't know if we're ever going to get him back. He's all alone up there, locked away inside. Never says a word. Hope hasn't died. Something's up with Jack, something's up with Jack. Christmastime is buzzing in my skull. Will it let me be? I cannot tell. There's so many things I cannot grasp. When I think I've got it and then at last. Through my bony fingers it does slip, like a snowflake in a fiery grip. Something here I'm not quite getting, though I try I keep forgetting, like a memory long since past. Here in an instant, gone in a flash. What does it mean? What does it mean? In these little bric-a-brac, a secrets waiting to be cracked. These dolls and toys confuse me so, confound it all, I love it though. Simple objects, nothing more, but something's hidden through a door, though I do not have the key. Something's here I cannot see. What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? Hmm.. I've read these Christmas books so many times. I know the stories and I know the rhymes. I know the Christmas carols all by heart. My skull's so full it's tearing me apart. As often as I've read them, something's wrong. So hard to put my bony finger on. Or perhaps it's really not as deep as I've been led to think. Am I trying much too hard? Of course. I've been too close to see. The answer's right in front of me. Right in front of me. It's simple really, very clear, like music drifting in the air. Invisible, but everywhere. Just because I cannot see it doesn't mean I can't believe it. You know, I think this Christmas thing is not as tricky as it seems. And why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone. Not anyone, in fact, but me. Why, I could make a Christmas tree. And there's no reason I can find I couldn't handle Christmastime. I bet I could improve it, too, and that's exactly what I'll do. I will leave the reast for you to discover again Peace, Michael [/quote]

Go see it, it's incredible.

Well it starts out in old fashioned England. Alice and her Mom in a carriage. At one point, Alice's Mom tells her she is not properly dressed, she doesn't have her corset on. Alice asks her Mom, "If proper were wearing a codfish on your head, would you do it?" I knew I was going to love the movie from that point on.
Basically the queen represents TPTB, but also represents the Queen of England, herself. She has a Castle full of slaves, and walks all over them all. Her knight, has a very reptilian like scale armor that is worth thinking about, if you're familiar with the reptilian legends. She is portrayed with a BIG head, literally. She's considered "the bloody red queen." She's pretty funny actually. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" she never hesitates to shout. I remember one "off with his head!" victim was represnting whistle blowers who the government have taken out for taking the people's side. But she uses all of her slaves, until they eventually all stop listening to her. No one is happy but the Queen.
There are many lines throughout the movie that have TPTB meanings in between them.
At the end the Dragon is slayed. The dragon means so much more than a dragon.
Also, they make it a point to Alice, that this is Underland, not Wonderland. This metaphor is huge, to me. I won't influence your thoughts but that part stuck out to me. Remember Underland is where the queen has rule over her slaves, it's not Wonderland.
Also, what really stuck out is Alice's 6 things that she believed in that seemed to be impossible.
1. A drink that makes you smaller.
2. A cake that makes you grow.
3. Animals can talk.
4. A cat that can disappear.
5. There's a place called Wonderland.
6. She can slay the dragon.
The movie is incredible, the meaning and beauty is something no one should miss out on.
