'Now You See Me' Should Be ''a Book of the Bible!'' - SPOILER ALERT for Now You See Me 1 & 2

Not exactly because any of the stories it tells "actually happened In Real Life," but because it tells you something about reality. http://nowyouseeme.wikia.com/wiki/Now_You_See_Me_Wiki "... the more you think you see, the easier it'll be to fool you." Or "The Closer You Look, the Less You See." Reminds me of how Lord Jesus was always answering questions-about-little-matters with wide-perspective-conclusions---giving His 'audience' a message of (in summary) "Don't worry about small things you feel you have control-over; you're being allowed to believe you have a degree of control over some things, but ... that stays true about "as far as you can throw them."' The thing that constantly struck me in NOW YOU SEE ME (and a little bit in NOW YOU SEE ME 2) was that we never know 'who is planning what'---so much so that--when 'the people who are The Eye' finally reveal themselves--it seems a whole lot like when you meet Santa Claus at the mall (i.e. you're pretty sure he's not THE Santa Claus, but is rather one of his representatives). (E.g. There's the 'reveal' that Rhodes/Shrike was 'shepherding' The Four Horseman into serving The Eye through the whole first movie, the 'reveal' that The Four Horsemen were setting Tressler up through the whole first movie and -setting he and his "son" up through the whole second movie, the 'reveal' that Thaddeus was actually Shrike's PARTNER, etc.) So NYSM is not so much 'a book of The Bible' as it is 'a key to The Bible Code.' It reveals that--though The Bible may seem to say that 'God is The Person In Control Of Everything'--the truth is that (tho 'your picture of some robey, beardy guy living in the clouds' may be a good "placeholder" for the seat-of-power ... something to let you rest your mind in the knowledge that "everything is under control") 'thinking you're looking at "the whole picture" blinds you to the existence of any picture beyond what you can see!'
