final shock

In fact, it was really normal before. Feeling a little creepy. Look down with suspense.
by boat. Go up the stairs. to the conference room. to the mountains.
What made me truly unforgettable was seeing the sacred city passed down from generation to generation through the cracks in the earth. The bright hometown they are familiar with.
But so small. Deeply curled up in the corner under the magnificent scenery.
Flickering faintly.

Are we also deeply stuffed in that corner.
Waiting for others to look at us.

    An English unsubtitled version watched in a movie theater. The original intention was just to pass the time with a cup of giant coke. Then it turns out that Coke is worth more than movie tickets.

    I really like the closed and dark feeling in the movie, which makes me want to read the original novel.

City of Ember quotes

  • Loris Harrow: [narrating] On the day the world ended, the fate of mankind was carried in a small metal box. In a secret location, architects, scientists and engineers met and concluded that there was only one hope for our future: to build an underground city designed to keep its citizens protected for generations to come. The box was entrusted to the first mayor, who was to pass it on to her successor. As the years counted down, the box passed from mayor to mayor. None knew what secrets it held, only that it would open when it was needed most. But fate ran another course, and the chain was broken. The box was tucked away and forgotten, and as the city grew old and began to crumble, the box quietly clicked open.

  • Loris Harrow: [narrating] Lina and Doon tied their hope to a rock and tossed it down toward the city. The rock could've ended up on a roof. Or kicked into a gutter. But fate ran another course. And the message found its way. Now the path was clear for all. All of us who kept the flame of Ember burning, through the darkness, so that we could live again on the earth, in the air and the light.
