Just watched this movie yesterday.
If you think that life is just a simple journey, Final Destination 3 somehow makes you think about those unfortunate people who died from tsunamis, 911 incident and many other natural calamities. The actual story is not about natural calamities but it's about death. How much it could mean to you.
The story started from the high school girl who had premonitions about something evil and scary that was going to happen next. From the pictures which she had taken from her digital camera, she found clues that everybody who were in the pictures died mysteriously starting from a roller coaster ride. The rest died in a gruesome way.
The pictures were gruesome and scary. I covered my eyes a few times watching it. I seldom do that, this was my second time. The first time was while watching Sin City. I'm not really terrified watching ghost stories but I'm scared of gruesome scenes. What made my heart pumped was all about what was going to happen next. Horror and Suspense index I would give: 5/5. That's what I feel.
At the same time, it reminded me of many things in life. Death seemed so far but you never know what's going to happen when it comes. It's about cherishing the people whom you love around you. Have we ever cared for them when they are alive? How about treating them as though you will never see them tomorrow? Starting from feeling scared about my dad's operation when I was young. I remembered that I cried hard. Damn worried. Then came my grandmother's stroke and she became paralysed, I watched her with my own eyes unable to move from the bed. I tried to support her to come up but I didn't have the energy to do so, I sent her to the hospital myself. It was my first time calling 995. I can only drop tears when I see her on the bed. No one will know how sad I felt, much more than anybody. She's the one who took care of me most, although she was naggy but I loved her. I played with her most of the time. I took her to movies even though she could not understand, but she was overjoyed that time. *Dropping tears right now* Whenever I think about this, I get very sad. Anyway, it's over. When death came for her, I felt that it was a relief for her. It pained me to see her living life on the wheelchair and bed. At least she lived to see her grandchildrens and grand-grand children. Sorry, I got carried away talking about her. That's how I started to cherish health, my life and the people around me. Then follow-up was everything that follows which makes me feel that I should be nice to everyone.
While watching the movie, I had the exact same feeling. That's why I could feel my heart racing each time they try to save someone. Well, I guess what each of us derive from the story is based on each of our personal experience. It probably takes a journey to realise some of them sometimes.
Well, life goes on! People say success is a journey. I believed truly. Moral of my story: Live with our heart more than our mind. Aza aza fighting!
