14 Jul 08 Vantage point

Emm… how to write about this movie… This movie shows about terrorism, it took place at Spain when US President gives speech at Salamanca, Spain. The US President (Substitute/Shadow of president) been shot by someone and the movie began~ The incident took place at 12noon and there are many people at that place. The movie like repeated 6 times from six different perspective. When you see the same incident from six difference prospective, you will have more clearer picture.

The 1st prospective view was from the GNN television news producer Rex Brooks. From her eyes, she see the whole things happens in split second. The movie keep on return to 12noon and start over again from difference person’s prospective.

For Vantage point, the whole ideas of US President assassination (actually they plan to kidnap the US President which located at Hotel Room) was from the Terrorist prospective. From there, we can understand the whole plot.

I think most people in this world will/can only see the 1st prospective, that is from what been recorded by reporter. That’s why we always do not have the clearer picture of the whole story~ I like this movie because it shows people about the important of looking at problem in differ points of view~

eg.

U.S. Secret Service agents Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) will never know that his partner Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) was one of the gang who behind the Bombing if he never see the whole incident from the GNN’s Van-control room.

I always told my friend that it is important to see some problem in few difference ways. Looks at the problem in just one direction, you will never solve it easily, cause you never know the actual ideas of the whole thing.

how ppl perceives things determine where their opinion n beliefs lie, sometimes inspite of the truth. so, perception is pretty big in many ways in our life. one ez example i can think of right at this moment is politics. another is love. or survivors.

it seems that perecption is like a veil while the truth is the face. the truth most often not easily discovered (at least not easily to prove certain elusive facts) hence perceptions plays most part of our life.

and how u play that to ur advantage, u may have the upper hand in situation and whether or not u have the substance to sustain it, unless u r the master of manipulation lol

kthx for my blabbering
