Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

"We've been through hell together! We spent four years, FOUR YEARS fighting that virus, and then another four fighting each other! It was chaos! But you all know what we're up against! And I want you to know, it's not just about power! It's about giving us the hope to rebuild, to reclaim the world we lost!"

--- Dreyfus

Merry Christmas !!!

It's not what's under the Christmas tree that matters, it's who's around it.

Edge Of Tomorrow

"Battle is the Great Redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in."

--Master Sergeant Farell

What's the way out ?

Sometimes, beautiful smiles can't conserve happiness and sorrowful tears can't take away the ache.

Pacific Rim

"Everyone, listen up! Today, at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we've chosen to not only to believe in ourselves but in each other. Today there's not a man or woman in here who will stand alone. Today we face the monsters that are at our door. Today we are canceling the apocalypse!"

Live Like That

  "Live Like That"

Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of us
Was my worship more than just a song

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change our heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have

So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that

Interstellar

A movie about time, gravity and love.
Great visual and sound effect.
A bit long, but TOTALLY worth watching ! 
Lots of questions will come to mind, have fun solving them XD

Love is the one thing that transcends time and space

“Love isn't something we invented. It’s observable, powerful, it has to mean something… Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.” 

                                            —  Dr. Amelia Brand (Interstellar)

A poetic response to "The Metaphor"

Memories 

Wasn't a piece of art,

But beautiful

Had a strong taste,

But sweet

Abandoned,

Yet loved

Saved many,

Yet died without dignity 

Mom what is it ?

A solider ?

No my dear,

It's just a cake

Being Cold

Cold

 Refreshment

Forces you to focus on one thing

Or better -- Nothing

 Gives you a clear mind

You know what to do

Before a second thought, done

Protects you from getting hurt

Because it already hurts too much 

Don't need to feel that pain again

 Keeps you from regretting

 And turning back to what you once call "warm"

Don't have to care

You won't need it

It is cold

Isn't it ?

Can't tell ?

Because I can't feel 

A poetic response to "The Sound of the Hollyhocks”

Voices

The sound of the hollyhocks
Still lingering at his ear
“Don’t go with her!”
Was their whisper

“She had you once,” 
“But she can’t have you again!”
“Listen to us,”
“For Sandra’s sake!”

“I know,” he said.
Speaking to the unknown,
Something that I can’t see
“I won’t go—never—never again!”

The man fell on the ground,
Spilling the juice jug
Kicking, running, sobbing
“I gave him a heavy dose.” Said the nurse.

Woke up
Empty bed
Screams
Again ?

Belt around his neck
Purple face
Too late
Gone

Dried and broken
Dead flowers
Their name?
“I forgot.”

A poetic response to "Gentlemen, your verdict"

Fifteen For Five

Boom ! We are hit ! We are hit !

Like Thor's hammer powerful and devastating

Four engines blown,

we went deeper and deeper

Steering gears jammed, propeller gone, bow tank can't be opened,

radio seems to be the only hope 

Bruises, broken ribs, stunned,

waiting for the captain to speak

Shore station is calling 

saved ?

Whispers, pale faces, desperation

Planes, ships, storms,

no help is coming

Get a drink and call the married men

Nordin, Speer, Jenvey and Preece, special mission

Check the radio one last time

no, hopeless 

Gathering,

 finest crew ever seen

toast

drink

Fifteen clatters with fifteen cold bodies

white faces,still holding the white mug

Last command 

"wait"

You sir ? 

join my crew 

Unemotional 

Fifteen for five

Last words

Last glance 

Black out

Gone

Six days

Saved

Glad

Guilty ?

Movie Review Assignment

Maybe it’s just a dream

Slow motion and dodging bullets – the two key features of this multi-award winning classic will surely attract your eyeballs.

         The Matrix tells the story of Thomas Anderson, a computer programmer, who maintains a double life as “Neo” the hacker. On an unexpected occasion, Neo meets a mysterious woman, Trinity. She tells Neo that he is in danger, and keeps saying a strange word -- “The Matrix”. Wanting to find out what “The Matrix” really means, and why his life is endangered, Neo meets Morpheus. This man in black cloak explains that in the 21st century, humans waged a war against intelligent machines they had created. Humans blocked the machines' access to solar energy, which forced them to use humans' bioelectricity as a substitute power source. The world Neo has been living in is a “dream world” created by machines to blind humans from the reality. Through intense training with Morpheus, Neo develops a deeper understanding of this simulated world. His skills convince Morpheus that he is the One, a man prophesied to end the war between humans and machines. With the help of other rebels, Neo fights against the machine's enslavement of humanity as he begins to believe and accept his role as "The One".

        The Matrix suggests many frightening ideas which we are not willing to accept. (Who can imagine that what we call “reality” is actually a “dream world” created by scary machines that suck out our life.) Besides being just a movie full of kinetic energy, The Matrix leaves us many unanswered philosophical questions as well. What is real? What is this life all about? Are you living in The Matrix? It calls us to think about life, and to search for its ungraspable meaning and purpose.

PS cool quote from Morpheus. "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"

Maybe it is a dream after all ......
