the butterfly effect

i really liked that show. watched it yesterday on vcd thanks to my off.

it's very though provoking and nicely done (thou could have been more deeply developed to become a true psychological thriller)

the premise and plot is good.. but i felt the ending was very.. sad...

and it really set me thinking.. if i had such a chance.. where would i go back and change the precise moment in my life?

seconday school during the CCA day where I should have chosen something like badminton and tennis and clung on desperately for it?

primary school where I should have ditched mugging during recess time and go play some sports? or dared to speak up during track and field and ask for a second chance?

or is it the choice of JC? should i have done what i did not do, and break away from my notoriety in secondary school and start afresh somewhere else?

but what would have been the repercussions? i would never know...

another show that set me off thinking was the recent charmed episode "styx feet under", where Piper literally became the Angel of Death herself, and had to claim the lives of the people according to her "list"

thou the acting and plot was terrible, but the premise was yet again, very thought-provoking..

imagine a person having to face the mutlitudes of death of others and having to repeatedly do such things..

and then imagine having to claim your own relatives' lives?

your enemy's life?

hmm... think it could become a new blockbuster... i should start writing a script... =)
