United 93
I was born into society that is desensitized, ever generation has that much more thick skin than the previous one. It is very hard now for me to be moved or struck by a film, song, or video game. I saw Silent Hill last weekend and kids in the row ahead of me laughed at the scene when a girl gets her skin ripped off and her fleshless body thrown into collapsing doors only to squirt blood over the people inside. That scene didn't even hit me but today I went and saw the movie United 93, I'm not ashamed to admit this but a couple of times that movie had me a little teared up, it's been so long since I've been grasped by a movie like that. A few times I just wanted to jump into the screen and beat the piss out of those people who were highjacking the plane. It really was an eye opening movie as well, so many aspects of how horribly wrong that day went for the United States were shown and just watching the real footage of the second plane crashing into the building; it was hard to watch. Hearing the live recordings of the last phone calls from flight 93 gave me chills because those people knew they were going to die. I can't even imagine the feeling of knowing you are about to die and worst of all die for something you really have no part of; those people weren't milatary or anything, they were just ordinary people who didn't deserve to die like that. I have a feeling that movie will open more eyes about that day than the people who made it predicted.
Another aspect of that movie that just scared me was the idea of the muslum world and their blind faith, how they can be so absolutly manipulated into believing things. I have no problem with faith, I like to think I have some faith in something but that blind complete surrender to something just scares me. I don't mean for this to offend anybody and more power to you for having a strong faith; you have less fear than I do. I guess maybe the idea of not being in control of your own life scares me.
Aside from this movie life lately has been really really good, things are falling into place just like I hope. I've been reading alot and just enjoying the days.
You are my sancutary, corner stone, foundation, dreams, and soul.
