It wasn't until this year that I really admired and watched out for good quotes. Therefor, beware what you say, because either 1: I'll hear it, or 2: It'll end up on the internet and I'll read it. In all to say, I've begun to really listen hard to what people are saying in order to find a valuable quote that will inspire me throughout my life.
The same goes for when I watch movies, you'll find that in most movies there is a specific line or quote that is repeated throughout the film to re-state a point or to reinforce one. So why not look out for that??? I mean, that one word or line could be the reason for the making of the film in the first place, that's a major thing to look out for.
So this blog is about The Source Code, and therefor, will blow your mind. No but really, I saw this about a week after it came out, and was led to believe it would be somewhat like the trailer depicts it, but as I was watching, I was happily surprised it wasn't. While it looked interesting and it had a new concept, it has an unbelievably unique plot that would impress the pants off of any movie goer looking for something fresh and fad. Excuse my attempt to demonstrate enthusiasm through blog, if you haven't notice it's not really my thing.
Anyway, a couple blogs ago I touched on the fact that Inception is referenced in many of my blogs, partly because it was an idol I struggled with for awhile, and partly because it has raw material worth referencing. And what do you know, I've got another little reference here for you.
So in Inception, the script and visual images show and tell us that this little machine with a button in the center puts people out cold in a heartbeat. This along with a couple of other things, are the flaws to the movie. The script just didn't have the time it needed to fully develop and give the info most watchers wanted.
Now with The Source Code, it starts out similarly. The watcher is given signs that this machine in the film takes someone back in time for only 8 minutes and then time is up and they die. The difference is with this one is that instead of just giving the watcher that fact, that have a character come to the rescue and explain how it works and operates. A conversation not for the faint hearted unfortunately as it is some pretty advanced and technical stuff. But if I could follow it, who couldn't?
Now there's not actually that much that I can tell you about the film without spoiling it (background computer choir) "Awwwwwwwww" But I can tell you if you've found that you agree with 75% of the crap posted here, then you have a 67.39% chance of agreeing with me about this film.
The film shows the characteristics of a hard and persevering worker with a task that at first seems unmanageable. Let me just say that I would gladly pay 10.50 or even more to see this film again. So next time you're at a theater do me a favor and be a good steward with your money: see THIS movie.
P.S. Quick shout out to the poor, needy people and families of Japan as they suffer through even more earthquakes recently. Keep them in your prayers. Hopefully they'll find the courage to persevere.
