双目化石

Every 3 years, directors of Final Destination would present us some Final Destination, starting from the year of 2000 with Death Trip 2009 performed this year-2009.  The stories are the same: Start with a spectacular death-defying escape from certain demise, and because Death cannot accept those who cheated on him, hence begins that hunter-prey game where the Death’s invisible hand starts to design some elaborate life-ending sequence for its victims, sometimes with some wickedly black humour thrown in. Therefore the point of this series is the bloody ways of which those victims died.

Death Trip 2009 still put the story on the background of the traffic, due to its highest accident death rate. The leading character, also the prophetic messenger, happens to foresee the coming tragedy and leads a select group of survivors. After googling similar circumstances, the survivors figures out that there might exist one solution to stop the due death, which might also be the only solution that is to break the order of the survivors’ death. A miserable thing is that when the negro decides to  give up and take suicide, he just find that however he tries, he just cannot die. At this point, the three survivors come to the conclusion that they have break the order and they now deserve a second life. However, they just don’t realise that it is simply not the negro’s turn to die.  You won’t know how he or she will die. But one thing for sure, all the survivors dies by the end of the movie. Nobody stands till the end of the movie.

The highlight of the movie is the unthinkable, sick, wicked and bloody ways of death. The film is nice but somehow anti-climax: at the end of the movie, the last three survivors just get hit by the trunk with no sparkling point at all.

Hey, what do you get from the movie? Fatalism. If you foresee your future, a bright one, you surely won’t take any action to modify the way things go on. What if  not? We surely will do something to prevent things from going that way. Thus, if your fate is good, you will just take that for granted and take it happily. What if not?

Whatever will happen will happen. Bullshit.

Freddy Vs. Jason? This is awesome.

Freddy Krueger, the disfigured dream stalker, uses a glove armed with razors to kill children and teenagers in their dream, which ultimately results in their death in the real world. However, whenever Freddy is dragged out into the real world, he becomes as normal as any of us. Freddy is undead, and can attack his victims from within their own dreams. Freddy is really ugly, especially his burned, disfigured face.

Jason Voorhees, man behind the mask, has primarily been an antagonist in the films, whether by stalking and killing the characters, or acting as a psychological threat to the lead character. With new series performed, filmmakers have given Jason superhuman strength, regenerative powers, and near invulnerability. Also, Jason’s appearance has gone through many transformations. However, one thing that always reminds us of who the man is: Jason’s trademark- the hockey mask. Never did I hear Jason say a single word!!

So what will it be if we put Freddy and Jason together in one film?

The film itself is alright. It delivers what it promises, the battle between titans. And you cannot tell which one is having an edge over the other one. Anyway, both of them survive at the end of the film, which means they will come back together in future. Near or far, you tell me. The movie is a nice teen horror movie, with two of the most recognised horror characters out there!

It’s been years that I watched a horror movie last time. Due to my good memory, I have been saying no to horror movies. So, let say, the movie is not horrorible enough. ‘Cause I am not really scared! Haha! Life needs fresh stuff, and horror movies is a good option. You can try.

电影里的主角与她老婆的片段，短短的几分钟，没有对白。结识，相知，结婚，生活。一辈子的缩影。一辈子原来不长。这电影还是很适合情侣们去看的，岁月如此短暂，牵了手就不应轻易放手，好好珍惜彼此。

篇外：Russel看着像中国人呀，ABC么~
老Carl的鼻子好大，大头，标准的国字脸，哈哈。
Ellie一看以为是个男的，看名字才知道是女的，小时候的发型超酷。
我总记得那些无聊的小事情。（平平淡淡才是真实的。）
感谢你给了我精彩的一生。 

片中，Carl与Ellie为出行儿准备的储钱罐的那段镜头，感触啊。

最无聊的事情，却是我最怀念的。
