T2 - B52 - Super Blog

Another day, another yesterday. It seems like time is something that a person just can't get enough of. And there's me being all philosophical again, trying to seem like I'm actually mature enough to comprehend such big topics. Then again, maybe I am.

Anyways, this is how my day flowed:

Applied Skills - Eyes were really hurting. 2001: A Space Odyssey. This movie is quite something. I'll talk about it later in my super blog.

Socials - Recognition Assembly and then a SS quiz. Fun.

Lunch - Was alright. Had to buy lunch though. :/ First time in a while.

PE - Gymnastics. Did alright on my vaults. So happy. <3

Foods - Egg Foo Yung wasn't that bad. :)

Onto my super blog since I'm short of time to elaborate anymore on my day.

2001: a space odyssey

Even though we are only halfway through the movie, I can tell why it's won so many awards and is the favourite of many. It's silent at first. Even as the movie is just beginning, you are captured by a sense of suspense and fear. You feel like something will pop out at you. But nothing does. That's the thing. The director has us under this impression and then leaves us with nothing but interest, but at the same time...we aren't displeased that it's a false impression.

It's strange really. The part where Hal kills everyone except Dave was anticipated by everyone in the whole room, but yet when it actually happened, we were all a little shocked. I guess the fact that technology killing humans is scary, no matter how used the idea is. Which is why I guess Terminator was so popular.

Fear, suspense, and interest is wrapped up. The director is patient and confident, the audience impatient and eager to know more, to see more.

Oh how cruel directors are.
