Boiling Point: Twilight
I think it is trying to discuss the subject of determinism and randomness as he talked in the beginning of the movie.. It doesnt matter if the people turned out to be aliens or whatever, I think the message is: the universe is not random and everything is done in a determined way and you KNOWING the future changes nothing because everything is already pre-determined..
It was only when Nicolas Cage submitted to this faith, that he was able to give up his son (he believed he would be with him in another world forever and ever) although in the beginning of the movie he didnt believe in God or heaven or anything..
I did not read any reviews yet but I think in a nut shell this is my take out from the movie.
The little girl writing and prediction paper is nothing, just a tool to give you the future on a piece of paper, it could have been anything else (a paper falling from the sky or him dreaming of dates), I believe the girl writing is not important to the message, she is just the tool the director/author used to give the future on a paper (because of you think about it, there is no purpose for the aliens for humans to know the dates..it is not like they believed humans can stop disasters from happening - So, the alien thing is totally irrelevant to the story. In fact, you can think of the aliens and space ship as God sending angels to save the children, but again it is irrelevant and does not serve the main message at all).
