2012

i just went home from watching 2012 and seriously.. this movie should be called die hard 5... or the luckiest family on earth... they defy science and cheat death.

i give this movie a 5.5/10, mainly to the good special effect, and i'm pretty sure 80% of the movie consists of CG, CG and more CG.

anyway, the main interest of this movie is the topic i discussed with a fren on my way home. I said, if i was there, i'm pretty sure i won't let the people in. It's either us or them.. and he said, i say that only because i'm not in that situation. if i let them die, i lost my humanity. i'll live but i'll be missing something and be reminded to that moment for the rest of my life.

maybe that's true. maybe not. but i really feel strongly that if i was in that ship.. i'll vote no. it's better to see the bigger picture. better safe few than none. sound selfish, sound arrogant, but that's life. if i was put on the other side and they decided not to save me, i'm okay with it. after all, i'm always curious what death is like.

i actually consider what might have happened during Noah's time. when he's finally in the ark, what did he feel about those people left out. maybe they jeered at him before, but soon when the rain doesn't stop, won't they realize they are now in danger? won't they scream at Noah that they are sorry?

Did Noah open the door? no.

in the movie, we now that they are all going to be okay, after all they are the main character. but in real life, there are chances it will go wrong. what would you feel if you let them in, but in the end you and i going to die? will you say "at least i have my humanity intact"?

you just postpone their death, be real! what humanity? sacrifice means something if there's a purpose, there's a goal. if you say you help them to preserve your humanity, aren't u the selfish one? if in the end everyone dies, that's not sacrifice, that's suicide. and suicide is a sin.

you see, Jesus sacrifice means something because he saves us from eternal damnation which is the main goal. that what i see as true "saving humanity"

if i sacrifice myself to let those people in, and i suppose we all saved like in the movie, they are still going to die, sooner or later. and who will save them?

that's why, if it comes down to the ultimate choice, us or them. i think i'll choose us. unless there's a more than likely chance that we can all be saved.
