what are ur WTF moments and creepy moments?


My WTF moments:

When Simon asked Joan to marry him after knowing her only like, what, four hours in total.

Did that gang leader seriously just criticize the sculptor for her supposed lack of morals?

My creepy moment:

The children have pictures depicting their parents, but the pictures are actually magazine cut-outs.

"If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!"
If you really love Jesus Christ, how can you use the the acronym; "WTF"?

For me, the creepiest moment was... your signature !

If you love being an atheist and are 100% proud of it, don't bother to copy it and make it your signature because we don't need any proselytism in movies comments.

Oh and, by the way, I love this picture.

>all of those sculptures

After having the sculptures referenced in the titles with a special font to be done by Elisabeth Frink, I checked it out.

I found out that Frink had a long, celebrated career in sculpture, esp in the UK.

I believe that's her "Harbinger Bird", featured in the cafe scene, which is in the Tate Museum.

IMO, not at all my taste.

The black helicopter trailing them in the end, looming in the background in spite their bright hopes for the future.

King and that kid racing away in the end, the first shot - of the kid being so happy and exhilarated with life, unknowing of the end soon to come - the end of King, the end of that feeling of exhilaration, the end of civilization.

The sculpture chick refusing to go along with the doctor, and her saying something to the effect of "Talking to you is wasting what little time I have left", as she turns to work on that incomplete/imperfect portrait of a man - standing proudly with hand on hip and chest out to sea.

The biggest plot hole in this movie is the idea that 11-year-olds can be so incredibly well-behaved without any in-situ adults present. There is no way you can discipline (or threaten to discipline) kids from long-distance (via a television screen).

Yes, we know that the kids eventually rebel, but I can't get my mind past the impossibility that they'd have been so good & proper for their first eleven years by themselves. Didn't the filmmakers read "Lord of the Flies"?

The movie plainly showed that one of the staff would fairly regularly visit the children in a hazmat suit.
