Cheating Death By Eternal Recurrence
Triangle deals with eternal recurrence where there is no death only the recurrence of the sames events eternally without change,the myth of Sisyphus also alludes to recurrence. In ancient Greece the belief was that at Death the deceased found themselves in the netherworld on a Riverbank of the River Styx awaiting Charon The Ferryman to appear to take them over the River Styx to the Land Of The Dead (No Return). In order to Take the Dead over to the Other Side the Dead Had To Pay The Ferryman with an Obelos(Coin) Which Was Placed in the Mouth Of The Dead At Death. Little known but believed by the Ancient Greeks and taught by the Stoics is that one could Return and Live Your Own Life Again From Birth to Death. In Order to Do this you had to Drink the Waters Of Another River Called The Lethe the River of Forgetting. The idea was that you would drink the Waters and you would Go Back and Live Your Life Again having forgotten that You Had Lived Your Life Before. Anthony Peake goes into the hard science and neurology of how this occurs in our lives or rather death. Similar themed films include Slaughterhouse 5, Groundhog Day and also some Twilight Zone episodes. Sparing repetition of other reviewers it is a well acted and directed film on a budget. I picked that it was Australia and not the USA where it was filmed ie the houses, sprinkler, streets, car (even though left hand drive and right side driving) so the location people could have done some more research to convince us that it really was the USA. Thoroughly Recommended Viewing
