White Knight Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) I agree with everyone who said the Ending to War of the Worlds is pretty disappointing, because it is. I think they sould have made two solid different endings. They would have worked better anyway, [b]Ethier one where the Humans Won and everyone has Celebrations or One where its a Tradegy. [/b]The one used for this film was like not a tradegy nor was it a Happy Ending in a way. What [b]"was" "good"[/b] about this ending used in the film is, it left basically no room for sequals, so its a [b]Stand alone Movie, No sequals, aleast from what I know it.[/b] Granted this film could have been so much more if it lived up to its title. ya know, so more International Things, not just USA, When you have A title like [b]War of the Worlds[/b], its gotta live up to its name.

son_of_angels Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Perhaps, regarding violent scenes, Western Christians NEED to be hardened to the violence and immorality around them, so when they, living their pure lives, encounter such things, Satan won't be able to surprise them. We should not underestimate the evil one, nor be surprised at what he and his pawns are capable of. I remember reading on another forum once, a poster said that they thought Satan was "one of the stupidest beings ever." Yet he is not. He is a being a thousand times older and smarter than every Christian alive today. In these days of persecution, Christians cannot simply think that the world outside, with all its violence and immorality, should be left alone, but be able to stare it in the face without regret in our own lives. In other words, don't try to reason through the movies, just deal.

sarcasmguy126 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 yeah, Paladin D. sorry i cant quote for some reason... but Star Wars Episode III is rated PG-13 for "Sci-Fi and Some Intense Images".... yet! parents still took younger Star Wars fans to the movie anyway on opening day, there must have been a 3-year-old dressed as Darth Vader watching the movie why wouldn't parents take kids to WOTW then??
Melchisedec Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) [quote name='cyndy9w' date='Jul 8 2005, 11:05 PM'] This movie was another step towards the immuninization of America to death.

[right][snapback]642141[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Well for one, there is ah uge differance in the graphicly volient images in WOTW than in Ep3. WOTW was alot blooder than ROTS, ROTS had no blood, Just bodies, and a guy who caught on fire. WOTW had Blood and Guts and it was much more visually volient than Episode III. Episode III had some dead kids, and a guy catching on fire, ya thats pretty volient, but its no where near as volient as WOTW Display of Blood and Guts, and intestanes, Brains, Arms, Legs, etc etc. WOTW had all that, it was just limited. People are more grossed out by blood and guts and brains everywhere, than just seeing a body lying on the ground dead. WOTW had these scenes and you'd have to really make them out, but i remember the scene toward the end of the film, where Tom Cruise's character sees "dead bodies, blood everywhere in the fields" while looking for his daughter. WOTW is more volient than Ep3 ever was.
infinitelord1 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 just saw it last night.........very diappointing yet it was still a good movie. Now my next focus is batman.
Melchisedec Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 If you thought war of the worlds represented the descent of humanity. Then DON"T SEE THE WEDDING CRASHERS!!!

DeeDee Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I saw War of the Worlds recently and there were a lot of things that troubled me, but overall I thought it was a good film. For one thing it portrayed that we are not alone in the universe -surprise?! And I was reminded of our situation in the world right now where different "worlds" are trying to kill each other daily. We don't have to have "aliens", earthings will bring an end to things on their own, or at least do incredible damage.
Carnanc Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 [quote name='Cathurian' date='Jul 9 2005, 02:27 PM'] I got a profound reminder of my own mortality. Like when Rachel showed her 3rd place ribbon; didn't that seem incredibly pointless? In the end none of that is going to matter. [/quote] me to, this was the major message and experience I took from this movie.
