Movie with deep meaning..

If you are intending to watch The Day That Earth Stood Still, please read this entry AFTER you have watched.. =)

Okie, today i spent my day eating and writing Chrsitmas cards for my working colleagues.. Oh my goodness, sriting the cards require so much brain juices and now my brain is so so fried!! Hahaz!!

Received a sms from my son Khairul in the late afternoon to watch a movie.. Decided to say yes since i am free and i would love to spend some time out with friends rather then be alone at home.. Since my brain was so fried, a movie would be great! Hahaz.. Went to catch the movie The Day That Earth Stood Still with Chang Yuan and Qi Zheng as well..We met up, had dinner, gossip here and there, watched the movie and headed home..

The movie has a deep meaning to it, at least to me.. It talks about how we humans have become, a specie that can be so hopeless at times.. We have become species that has been psycho-ed that alien invasion would only be evil.. The word INVASION says it all.. This would then resort to us using violence and weapons to counter attack this "invasion".. Even if they are here to save us or try to save us, we have become so wary of one another that we bring up our defence wall a little too soon..

Also, it talks about how we humans are only willing to change only when faced with great danger or the brink of death.. We tend to be so full of ourselves, thinking that we are the greatest and the smartest.. This will be a major factor for the downfall of us humans.. It is the same as only when someone is about to die, they say their whole life flashes through their eyes and they start to regret things that they did or did not do.. The irony of life, it is so full of regrets, yet it is so fulfiling!

It is like only when you have lost someone then you tend to treasure.. When you know a friend or family member is on the brink of death then you start to spend so much time with them.. This is what i call "crash course".. You combine the time you INTEND to spend with the person and spend the most amount of time possible.. Talking about this, i have not visited my nanny for ages man...Darn!

Now to think of it, i don't know what i am writing.. Like no link!! Hahaz.. Oh wells, my little thoughts floating around in my head.. I just want to have a great end to the year 2008, and a great beginning for year 2009 before i leave.. =)
