We've come a long way baby...
Cloverfield disturbed me.
Maybe it's because since childhood I've had an unhealthy obsession with Godzilla and Godzilla vs. movies.
It was so realistic, even though the monster wasn't a Godzilla, it was more like some creature I would have conjured up in a dream...
I think also the sickening scene where the helicopter was taken down from the sky by the monster, it was just too real for me.
I've felt how it feels to fall from the sky.
Only for a few seconds, that stomach dropping feeling as I fell to my knees while we dropped in elevation, and here i thought the airplane was making a sharp turn. Turns out it was dropping in feet. Hundreds of feet then recovered.
But the footage of the camera from the inside of the helicopter as it crashed, it made a lump in my throat.
Also, I know I don't live in Manhattan but I have become incredibly familiar with its sights and sounds since I am there usually a couple of times a week for work...the way everything smells, sounds, the people and traffic, the subway system, everything has become a second home to me without even trying and I just want to live there someday soon, after school...and I just kept thinking, wow, it really is an island. You access it by bridges and tunnels..so strange.
I guess I just want to know if native New Yorkers ever thing about these things. Zombies invading (Resident Evil 2), or Kurt Russel wearing leather chaps and holding a gun(Escape from New York), or Cloverfield...cause well, where would we be in life if people like myself and other imaginatives didn't think about these things transpiring to real life?!
