Life is Movie

Knowing was advertised as a science fiction film, but turned out to be horrifying when I was watching it. When the 911 number combinations were appearing in front of me I realized this was a disaster film.

When the more and more disaster films come out, they cannot help the lack of new ideas, but this film was well developed, to puzzle the audience with a sci-fi one. Nicholas Cage played the leading man, MIT’s teacher. Having visited Boston, I’m very familiar with the background, where the disaster happened, terrifying. The film predicted that on October 19 this year, the Earth would be destroyed. Unlike in the day after tomorrow, in Knowing, the sun would swallow the earth, so no one could flee. Then the film can play to its strengths of being imaginative, doing whatever is wanted, and the day dreams that cannot be realized are now able to realistically show to the audience, and everyone feels like the real thing; it really feels better doesn’t it? Without taking any responsibility, a dream comes true. Sometimes dreaming has the same purpose, but the dream is done passively, while the film is actively making, and to create the box office value doubles the benefits.

The dream in the film was that, Everyone else was doomed, but a boy and a girl were rescued by aliens to another planet to begin another round of Adam and Eve. The planet looked like paradise. Perhaps this was the origin of human beings? Only Adam and Eve were allowed to start a new life? Life is hard since beginning.

Why was it like science fiction? It played a game of numbers. In a primary school 50 years ago, the teacher asked students to paint a picture and put in a Time Capsule in order to give the future students 50 years later. Instead of painting, a girl filled numbers in the entire page. 50 years later, Nicholas Cage’s son received this piece of paper. Nicholas was looking at these figures, suddenly noticing 0911, aware of the rules of these figures, the disaster of 50 years, the date and the number of deaths. Of course, disasters occurred on time, and inevitably. He saw the tricks of the figures in the other unknown number, and they were longitude and latitude, indicating the location.

Then there was his ultimate concern, and the final prediction would be October 19, reversed two of number three; it was not 3, but E. What did E mean? Adam and Eve? When the little girl drew a picture, pointing to the painting of the sun, Nicholas suddenly thought of the sun, end of the world. Then no one could flee, but why was it EE? This time aliens stole the children. When Nicholas caught up with them, and realized the true meaning. Except for EE Everyone Else could not escape, then the aliens were to rescue the children – the human. When the aliens indicated that only the kids could go, Nicholas resolutely goodbyed his son, since his son carried the hope of all humanity.

It would be marvelous if the first disaster film was like this.

Cherish every day, nothing else.
