What is essential....
...is invisible to the naked eye
War of the worlds would easily be discounted to have the most horrible ending of the year, the most anti-climatic movie of the year and now i am making an understatement... of the year!!!
It also has the most... uhmmm... shall i say "chopsuey" of a plot.. fathering issue, traumatized kid issue, rebellous teenage issue.. that makes you forget that there are tripods annihilating the humans as the dominant specie of this planet.
But, then again, let's go beyond the movie and to reality. When a war does come up,a man-made war... the questions is - Where will you be? Who will you be with? Who will you protect? or will you just save yourself.
Have we earned the right to survive? in a natural way? same way the movie depicted, in a non-fiction visual medium, a scientific survival ending in a religious underlying plot. Can the smallest, microscopic organism save us... when were not going up against tripods firing beams of light disintegrating our bodies but not our clothes, plunging metal needle hoses in our body sucking our blood out and spraying it back on our land? when what we're up against is the same microscopic, odorless, colorless substance that are released in subways, train stations, densely populated areas. Invisble to the naked.. and its only half of what is essential!!!
Morgan Freeman was the narrator when the movie started, u'll hear his voice when the movie ends... He played God in a comedy film once... is it the movie effects, the cinematography or the lousy ending that makes War of the World worth watching...
