La be`lla

(I hadn't have had the time to pen down this article, but the basic idea of this article has been haunting me for the past few weeks.)
Few weeks back, I was invited by some friends to go for a movie, my first in UK's theatre. So I went without caring to ask about the movie. When I reached I came to know it was for "NEW MOON". A movie that was completely & brilliantly successful in incinerating all my crazy ideologies, hypothesis & emotions attached to the "supernatural realm".
Although a complete "BLAST!!!!" of a storyline (according to the movie and not the book, you mad TWILIGHT series lovers!) and two hours of my precious time that I'm never getting back, there was just one thing I liked (apart from Jacob's stunning looks :DRROOOOLLLL! : ) . There was only one dialogue that thrilled me and kick started my satiated thirst back to its unquenchable state for knowledge about the supernatural, paranormal and downright unreal things. The lead female (Bella) goes through a solliloquy where she goes on to say,"What if everything we ever heard was true?". And truly a scintillating statement.
It got me thinking truly, What if E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G was true? What if there are Thumbelinas and unicorns to dragons & dragon slayers, to Gods, Devils and vampires, to Darth Vader to Yoda, to werevolves and vampire slayers. The fact that warp drive, teleportation, borg cubes, Klingon species...everything just waiting out there to be discovered and the high potentiality exhibited by them of their existence just makes the child in me quiver with ecstasy and happiness.
The idea that a mutant spider is going to bite a "Peter Parker" any time now is just what the comic reader in me would come alive to! Till then I'll keep shuffling through the pages of newspaper to find my own "Spiderman"! Now, isn't that news worth waking up to! ;)

Future:Here We Come!!!!

Us human beings are extremely curious creatures.
God gave us everything and asked us not to touch an apple tree and we couldn't resist, we knew it would lead to doom but still we risked it, and why? Cause we cant resist the slightest temptation.
We have excelled in every field or every cause which was created by God. But TIME remains untampered with and untouched like the purity of a saint maintaining sheer abstinence from all worldly pleasures.
Unable to conquer the one thing that keeps on eluding us, keeps us on our toes, keeps on making us ponder, cause if we knew the future whose going to work for today?!!!
Unable to win over the unconquered we use our own imagination..as in let it run wild to paint us a picture of what the future might look like...

It started with the novel called "TIME MACHINE" by H.G. Wells , where he describes for the first time how he travels through time to see the world change rapidly in front of his very own eyes, and how it changed into something where humans are no longer capable of taking charge of the situation.

Next came along STAR WARS, the movie that created history at BOX OFFICE. A movie which portrays humans and aliens co-exist in a world where good is still competing with the DARK FORCE..where Jedis are pioneers of good,in command of fighting against the Dark force and free from worldly pleasures,"the ONE" Jedi fails to follow the rules and turns into the PROTEGE of villains in Hollywood AKA DARTH VADER.

Then came along STAR TREK, where in the distant future a spaceship with unimaginable technologies (like-warp drive, teleportation and so on and so forth) ventures out of the solar system to locate alien life forms(like borg) and loses touch with Mother Earth. Only to trace back its way to earth through surprisingly strikingly variant events.

JUDGE DREDD portrays a dystopic future, where urban areas have grown into mega cities that cover entire coastal regions, the justice system has evolved to a single person invested with the power of police, judge, jury, and executioner: the Judge. Among the Judges of Mega-City One, Judge Dredd is one of the best, and a particular favorite of the Head of the Council, Judge Fargo. But there are evil forces at work in the Justice Dept: block riots and the escape of Rico, a homicidal maniac, are only steps in a plan that ultimately lead to the sentencing of Dredd for a murder he didn't commit. And Dredd must discover the secrets of his own past and survive to stop the evildoers .

Then we had TERMINATOR the series,It has been ten long years since a Terminator failed to kill Sarah Connor and her unborn son, John. Now, Skynet has sent back another Terminator. This one being more advanced than the last one. John Connor, who is now ten years old, is the target. The future John sends back a replica of the Terminator that tried to kill him back in time to 1995. It's Terminator vs. Terminator.A fight of good over the evil,where the good succeeds.

ROBOCOP,a movie where a very capable officer Alex Murphy gets killed on his first day of patrolling Detroit-now a crime ridden city by feared gang leader Clarence Boddicker.He is then replaced in a cybernetic soldier by OCP scientists where he serves of great use,but when his own life's memories star rt surfacing he gets obsessed for seeking revenge.

I,ROBOT..a movie where robots are made to help man..but then the robots lack self-conscience and draw a conclusion which involves human bloodshed in order to achieve PEACE AND PROSPERITY.The creator of these robots was successful in making a robot whom he used to call his son,this robot was a class apart as he was one with a conscience and he found the whole plan very inhumane.This robot along with the assistance of WILL SMITH, help in destroying the heartless plan of world peace.

I AM LEGEND..A movie where only one man survives when a massive virus outbreak occurs which turn humans and all other beings hostile and alienic and light intolerant,one man survives to make a difference.

Paycheck,a John Woo classic where Ben Affleck works as freelancing physicist for companies and after every job his brain is wiped clean of the time duration of his job,so that the company can patent his works without involving him in it.He develops a machine which gives him a peek in the future,but he realises if man sees the future then there will be no looking forward to it,the curiosity of knowing what the future has will no longer be a mystery and there will be no hope.He realises the blunder and devises a plan to destroy the machine and at the same time wriggle out of the loop he's put himself into.


All these movies have one thing in common..their heartfelt desire and attempt to unravel the future, to pretend information that is being witheld from us.The writers are trying their level best to give us some food to satisfy our curiosity but what they do not realise is that this is instead food for thought,and they are merely whetting our appetite. Appetizers are done with, we are hungry, we want the main course and we want it bad!!!
That's why they say:
Stay hungry,
Stay foolish....
