The Story:

Everyone loves a good movie! The problem is, everyone has a different opinion of which movies should be termed “good!” But one thing we’ve learned is this: Regardless of the movie, there is always a deeper message to be found. We love to look at movies from a deeper, more spiritual level, interpreting them MetaSpiritually to see what we can discover about ourselves and our soul growth.


From a highly spiritual perspective, a MetaSpiritual interpretation of ANYTHING means seeing people, places, things, and events that happen ‘out there’ as human and spiritual qualities, talents, and abilities, beliefs, habits, etc. within us. So any movie can be interpreted as symbolizing what is going on inside of us. The people, animals, events, set, costumes, locations, etc. can be seen as qualities and traits within us.


How to Interpret Any Movie From a MetaSpiritual Perspective:

The Process

Step 1: Watch the movie!

That's it! Just watch the movie! Enjoy it thoroughly. Have fun! 

And don't even think about interpreting it during this step!

Step 2: Create a Synopsis

This doesn't need to be anything major. Simply write a brief synopsis of what you feel the overall theme of the movie was, from a literal point of view.


It's important that you keep this step from a literal point of view. Imagine you are writing a brief review for an online social media page. You are simply summarizing what the movie was about.

Step 3: Create a List of Key Elements

Now think back over the movie, and make a list of all the key elements that stood out for you. This could include (but is not limited to):

  • Characters
  • Locations
  • Scenes
  • Set and costume
  • Props 

Your goal is not to list every possible thing from the movie. Instead, simply identify those elements that remain vividly in your mind.

Step 4: Ask the Key Question

Look back over your list of key things, and ask yourself the following question for each item on your list:

What might this person, place, or thing represent within me?


Ask this same question for each element you identified in Step 3. Stretch yourself and see what kinds of comparisons and metaphors you can create.

Look back over your list of key things, and ask yourself the following question for each item on your list:

What might this person, place, or thing represent within me?
