An interesting philosophical movie

There's an interesting movie that's been around for years, but few people have seen it. It's Last Night, a movie about the end of the world. It starts out on the last day, but people have known the world was ending for a few months. The movie covers the last 4 hours or so until the end, and it shows quite a few different ways people decide to spend their last days/hours.

If you knew the world was going to end at a certain hour, what would you spend your last days and hours doing?

If I only had hours I'd gather up my family head to the barn and spend it with the people and animals I love.

In the movie it was interesting to see the differences in how people prepared and spent their last hours. Some planned everything(even though the plans didn't always work out the way they expected) while others just gathered together in groups and waited for the end.

I would throw the biggest, grandest, wildest neighbourhood party imaginable, and everyone would be welcome, no holds barred no matter who they were or what their character was. Eating tons of food, drinking, passing around joints, music, dancing around a huge bonfire, drumming, games, a celebration of life and death and God, and a spiritual love fest such as has never been seen on this earth before.

And let me tell you, when I throw a party I REALLY know how to throw a PARTY.

I'd go to Naturelovers house!
- but first I think I would go on some kind of retreat into the woods to meditate and just breathe for a few hours.
