Just now at 2.30 am, I just finish watching 2012. To be honest, I seriously don’t know how I feel right now. I’m like, feeling-less. I can’t identify whether I’m shocked, scared or just calm. Maybe I’m just devastated that in the end, they survived. Well, perhaps it ends that way because everybody likes a happy ending to a story. In real apocalypse, the doomsday, nobody survives. Nobody will be able to predict exactly when it’s gonna happen. Not even our fancy machines, our brightest scientists, or even the historical Mayan culture that has predicted it before. And, looking at the building visualized during the Mayan culture, I think it was not in Mayan culture. It was ziggurat – a temple during Mesopotamian era. And does the monk Dalai Lama live alone on a hill? Dalai Lama actually travels the world. Well I don’t know, some facts or people portrayed in the movie were kind of incorrect.
I'm afraid to say that the movie can actually mess up with our minds and faith. We as Muslims believe that the doomsday cannot be predicted, there are only signs. And we know how it's gonna happen. It happens on a Friday. There would be blow from sangkakala, one-eyed dajal, the huge scorpions, everything will be destroyed. And we know the signs are here now. The gay-lesbians, natural disasters like tsunami, earthquakes, etc. The effects portrayed in the movie were more like buildings destroyed by huge tsunami, or 'asteroids' coming from the inside of the earth. The real doomsday is much much more and more and more horrifying than that.
Well, even though the movie didn’t actually leave a big impact inside me, there is certainly one thing that has been carved into my head. That is, a human certainly should push boundaries of his or her mind. I mean, in times like these, a scientist would definitely be more useful than say, a cashier right? No offense here, but I guess we humans can’t settle for less. Everyone makes the world go round, yes, but a person full of knowledge is a better person, no?
Thanks for lending me your attention hahaha and I hope my thoughts give something for your perspective. Never stop thinking!!!
