A Spiritual Insight from Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning

A Spiritual Insight from Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning

What if Ethan Hunt wasn’t just running from explosions—but from illusion itself?

In this new video essay, I take on a different kind of impossible mission—seeing Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning through the eyes of a spiritual seeker.

This isn’t about what the filmmakers intended. It’s about what we can see when we look at a mass action blockbuster as something deeper: a space where myth, death, and the soul all collide. I explore the idea of Ethan Hunt as an Arhat—a Buddhist figure who has faced death and returned free of attachment, now confronting The Entity, a force that eerily resembles the dark collective unconscious.

Yes, it sounds bizarre. But that’s kind of the point.

This video plays with the edges of genre, spirituality, and symbolism. It's a look at how meaning can emerge from even the loudest, most commercial corners of cinema.

🎥 Watch the video above and let me know—can a Hollywood action hero be a spiritual archetype?
