Immortality
Take it. It's yours!

It was an utterly gory movie (for me it was), with the worst possible ending any movie can ever have. Troy had all the heros dying, and the women crying, and the whole Troy in flames in the end. And Brad Pitt died for love, after killing for glory and fame. I don't even remotely see any connection whatsoever. Archilles was this brutal killing machine, and in the end, he died without even lifting his sword. Sigh.

Troy made me think a lot on my way home. Especially on stuff that the king said, like whether one should treat their enemies with honour and respect although they fight for opposite causes, & whether killing made anything right. How many must die before something can resolve, and how much blood should be shed for a name written in our history books? Why must one reduce oneself to mass murder for 'glory'? Where does it ever end anyway..

I think I missed half of the show, because I spent all the killing portions of the movie holding the popcorn box in front of me, and sinking lower and lower in my seat. But it was really bloody. Men were lying everywhere in pools of blood! ): Carmen & pet were like, nothing was happening in front of them, & me and chay were cringing with every sword swish. But the sound effects were good, if not too good. :O I think (according to pet) during one of the fighting scenes, when I was holding some popcorn in my hand, I kind of threw the popcorn at pet and ate air or something. The scenes were just too mind-blowing! ;X But I had lots of fun watching it with them, although carmen did scare me a little when she took her book to write stuff down. I thought she was doing homework! :B

It's the june hols now! I'm going to seize every minute to have fun! I can't wait for tomorrow..

Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
