2012

Last night, I went to watch 2012. Apart from the usual fantastic special effects, I actually didn't really enjoy the movie. If anything, it was depressing... Watching people died and seeing the end of the world is not really my kind of movie. Oh well..


Interestingly, however... The movies point out several everyday political and economics issues:

* The US president who knew about the end of the world actually went on to a meeting with the G8 leaders to discuss how to tackle the issue. In our world, the economy and politics are often dominated by G8. They dictate how the world should be... Even at the end of the world, they seem to be only trying to save their own asses.

* The arc ships were built in China. Why do they built it there? That's because China has strong control over media and the state. Not to mention, it's much cheaper too. If they try to build such gigantic ships in US, the media would easily get access to them and they would easily leak it to the public.

* The seats in the arc ships are sold to the people who can afford them. They are actually sold at €1 billion per seat. Who would be able to afford them really? Yes we have plenty of billionaires in the world, but at €1 billion per seat, I don't think there would be many who will buy it... If it's €100 or €50 millions per seat.. it's probably much more reasonable..

Oh.. Watch out for Sasha (Johann Urb), the Russian pilot.. He's so hot.. Rawr.... LOL... This is my fav scene in the movie, the Bentley is kinda funny.. You can see Sasha at the beginning too..
