BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID....MOVIES

DISTURBING MOVIES.

I want to talk about movies today. In 1950s, 60s and 70s, we came across movies about:

--SPACE STATIONS.
--EXPLOLING THE UNIVERSE.
--HUMANS SETTLING ON OTHER PLANETS.
--BIG FLAT TV SCREENS.
--MOBLE PHONES.
--COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH COMPUTERS.
--SATELLITES.
--HIGH TECH WEAPONS AND HIGH TECH CARS.
--SUISIDE BOMBERS.

We have seen all that in JAMES BOND and other SCIENCE FICTION movies. We used to say, no! it’s just a movie, there is no way this can really happen.



Not any more, today, all above mentioned things are part of our lives now. Some of us, we can’t live without these things, take gadgets like SMART PHONES. To make things worse, some of these things has been integrated into our religions.

My concern today is, all the above is a REALITY except humans settling on other planets. It seems, what we see today in movies becomes a reality 10-15 years later. And now, NASA, wants to send people to MARS by 2023 or so, imagine one way ticket to MARS....no return. Wow! Can you believe that thousands of people have already applied for that one way ticket?

We need to be AFRAID, VERY AFRAID. And some of modern movies are very disturbing.


Let me just pick up few movies as an example:

(1) INDEPENDENCE DAY.
(2) I AM LEGEND.
(3) 2012.
(4) EAGLE EYE.
(5) THE MIST.
(6) THE INVASION.
(7) TRANSFORMERS.
(8) LIVING HELL.
(9) THE DAY EARTH STOOD STILL.
(10) BATTLESHIP
(11) SKYLINE
(12) THE 5TH WAVE


In the above mentioned movies and others not mentioned here, MOTHER NATURE or HUMANS contribute to the destruction of our planet.


The truth is, MODERN HISTORY in movies is telling us, what we see in the movies today will definitely become a REALITY tomorrow.



That’s all I wanted to say. I want to hear from you guys, your comments and opinions are welcome. Or just add to this list more disturbing movies.
