I was a little skeptical about watching this film at first, as it didn't seem to hold much interest for me. In the end I am glad that I did watch it, because behind the spooky veneer of the Moth Man mythology there is definately deeper meaning to this story. It's quite easy to mistake some of the characters (including Gere's wife in the film) as ultimately inconsequential but each of these characters do indeed have an involvement with the plot.
While the Moth Man plot is rich and somewhat open ended, it relaxes towards the end of the film, and Gere's struggle to let go of his past anguish in favour of ensuring his future becomes the main focus of the film. In essence, it is impossible to understand an enigma such as the Moth Man, but if we take this simple theory and apply it to every character involved in the film, or every person who has ever received insight into disasters of the future, I think you'll find that it isn't far wrong.
Of course we only see what we want to see. This is true of both us as the audience, and any person receiving such precognition, but I suggest you give this film some of your own time and I'm sure you'll garner more than just a spooky evening of entertainment.
