The Post Haven: Thor

Yesterday April 29, 2011 together with my sister we went to watch the movie "Thor" at SM San Lazaru, Manila. Thor is a 2011 American superhero film that is based on the comic book charater of the same name and was published by Marvel Comics, This is the fourth film release in the Marvel cinematic unive Marvel Cinematic Universe and was developed by Marvel Studios, , The first Film release is the movie "Iron Man" and The Incredible Hulk in 2008 and in 2010 the "Iron Man 2' and now 2011 Thor and the upcoming film Captain America: The First Avenger and finally by 2012 The Avengers.

The movie is about Thor played by Chris Hemsworth which will about to ascend to the throne as king of Asgard but his reign was interrupted when on his pronouncement as a king by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) the Frost Giants attempted to retrieve the Casket, The casket is the source of all the power of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and was seize by Odin when he wages war against them to prevent them in conquering the Nine Realms which will start on earth. Thor was in rage when his ascension as a king was stop in the middle of the ceremony and against Odin's order, his hunger for

war, his arrogance and his will to prove his worth to his father, Thor went to Jotunheim and confronts the Frost Giants and their leader Laufey (Colm Feore) accompanied by his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston),, a childhood friend Sif (Jaimie Alexander), and the Warriors Three:Volstagg (Ray Stevenson), Fandral (Joshua Dallas) and Hogun (Tadanobu Asano), battle ensues that fans the flames of an ancient conflict and destroying the fragile truce between the two races, Odin as present King of Asgard force to intervene and save his son's lives and his friends. Thor then was strips of all his powers and was exiled to Earth accompanied by his hammer and source of his power Mjolnir, that is now protected by a spell by Odin to allow only the worthy to wield it. He then arrive at New Mexico and was found by Jane Foster ((Natalie Portman)). On earth he learned the meaning of humility and that his key to wield the hammer and restore all his power and allow him to go back to to his world and save his father in the hand of his adopted brother Loki who all this time was the one who set everything up and reveled his true plan and that is to destroy Jotunheim by the bifrost bridge and prove himself worthy to wield the hammer Mjolnir.

The movie is distributed by Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment and the film stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Colm Feore, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins and directed by Kenneth Branagh the director of the movies like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Wild Wild West and Valkyrie among others.

What would be my take away in this movie is simply the meaning of humility. According to a quotation from Blesses Giles of Assisi which says "No man can attain to the knowledge of God but by humility, The way to mount high is to descend" we all have path to take and most of the time along this road are the hindrances in reaching our goals in life, these are the hindrances that slow us, anger us and worst that destroy us because what we always to thought is to get even, to get ahead, and to win and when other hurt us we want seek for revenge and we ler our arrogance and pride eat us into one piece of tools that will destroy others and that will destroy us. Jesus in all the pain he suffered when he was scourge at the pillar, with the mocking hre receive he never feel any certain hate but rather he prayed to the father to forgive us and we know that it will takes alot of humility to do and we know also that we can say that we are not God but question is do we really have to be God in order to learn what humility means, is it should we say to ourselves that we should always practice humility every time and every chance there is because eve the Lord our God was able to lower himself to mankind how much more to us? as for me I know it could be harder because I am a person whose pride is bigger than my head but it is not impossible to do and I hope I can do it.
