Trish and I were both captivated by a movie called 2:22 that came out in 2017 and was only a theatrical release for one week. It earned $422, the lowest of any movie in 2017. Sounds terrible, but it’s not. It’s a fantastic movie about synchronicity, the dark and the light.
Briefly, a review in IMDB calls it “a clever, rollercoaster thriller that centers on Dylan, an air-traffic controller who is given a jolt when he narrowly escapes being responsible for a mid-air collision between two passenger planes, caused by a mysterious blinding light that happened at 2:22. These strange occurrences continue and lead Dylan to meet Sarah, with whom he feels inexplicably linked. Together they discover uncanny similarities with their current predicament and a double murder committed a generation ago – implying a past life connection. With a grim fate looming, Dylan must solve the mystery of 2:22 to preserve a love whose second chance has finally come.”
This was one of those movies that really gripped us, that we felt as if we were inside it. Then at the end, as if to confirm our feelings about it, a real-life synchronicity unfolded. On the screen appeared the image above with the line: “the dying star Hamlin did finally disappear…but somewhere, somehow another star was born.” That line immediately caught my attention linking this 2017 movie to the real-life event of the on-field death and revival of Buffalo Bills football star Damar Hamlin on a Monday Night Football just weeks ago, an event that resonated around the world.
Finally, in a voice-over at the end, Dylan says: “In everyone’s life comes a time when the universe opens itself for just a few moments to show us what’s truly possible.”
Following his recovery, Damar Hamlin said: “God’s plan for me was to have a purpose greater than any game in this world.”
Profound synchro story.
We’ve been seeing a bunch of these biggies
I saw it nearly 5 years to the day back in 2018 on the big screen and wrote a post about it –

The boys at the ’42 Minutes’ podcast even interviewed the writer/director of the movie about what made him write it –

I’ll have to find that podcast! I loved the movie!
The podcast link is in the above comment.
That movie was mainly shot down here in Australia.
There is another synchronicity here Trish with the comment you left on that old post I wrote, as cherry is a key theme talked about by the writer/director in the 42 Minute podcast, and I wrote about Ed Sheeran being married to Cherry in that post.
Ed played a concert in my hometown of Brisbane last night and it was his 32nd birthday yesterday 🙂
I didn’t go though, as I’m not really into Ed’s music.
Brisbane seems to have a lot of cultural stuff going on, Daz,
