Babylon A.D.
Recently, I have watched a movie, Babylon AD with my friends. This movie is about refugees attempting to escape from the chaos, death and poverty. However, there is this particular person, Vin Diesel who didn’t run away. He was hired to escort a nun and a girl from a convent. This movie is about the process of escorting the two ladies.
There is one scene which I think can illustrate perception. In this scene Vin Diesel is about to hand over a package. However when he realise that the package is about to be use for an underlying motive, he refused to hand over the package and a fight broke out between the two sides escorts. The main characters were outnumbered. There was this weapon that fired a missile which could log on to Vin Diesel because of a chip in him. We thought and that he was going to die. It seemed impossible to escape. He walked to the injured girl. She turned around and told him that he needed to die causing her to shot him. The next thing was an explosion and the screen went black. We all thought the movie had ended but it did not. Vin Diesel was revived and realised that the girl had not died because she found a way to survive that catastrophic event. I personally think that it is due to our experience we had for movies. Usually, in such situations, we would think that the movie would have ended with a tragedy. Viewers interpreted that the explosion means death because no one could survive an explosion at such close range in real life. It was a twist.
At the start of the movie there was a scene with narration by Vin Diesel. It said that in life, people make mistakes and the day he made the mistake was the day he died. Hence viewers had thought from the start that he will die in the end. Vin Diesel found out that the package had a six sense and was able to predict the future. She told them that they are going to die in America. The organisation of the information has misled the audience. However, i think this should be the way in movies as i prefer unexpected ending. This helps to creates interest in viewers.
After watching this movie, some of my friends thought that this movie is not as nice as they have expected. I realised that such comments are actually based on their own experiences. Furthermore, they thought that it was illogical. It's their own perception of the movie.
Overall, I think that it is only an 'OK' movie. I don't really like the ending of the movie.
So, do you have the same thought as me?

well, indeed it's a kind of perception; or rather the first impression. It's the first impression which produces perception.
actually when you type this blog entry, you are creating perception. you used "we would think", "Hence viewers had thought" in your entry, you concluded that the viewers "MUST" have feel that way, but how are you so sure?
So, this's a kind of perception too.
Can I say that the package has predicted wrongly? And I am marveled by the courage of Vin Diesel since even though he had predicted his own death, he still went ahead(by not giving the package to whoever) and bide by justice(if I got the story right).
