I dont know how to feel about this movie.

I dont know if it made me sad, or happy, or angry, or what, I'm feeling everything.

 

It seriously makes me rethink everything.

Human lives, have more value than anyone can imagine, even the most insignificant, even the unborn baby.

Every aspect of our lives, what we take for granted, emotion, kindness, love, It is very valuable.

 

I feel destroyed by this movie...

I haven't watched this, I will tomorrow. What I can take away from the trailer though is that it is absolutely vital that we maintain diversity and don't try to kill the minorities opinions.

 

You have no idea...

It's much more basic, much deeper than this.

I'll give a quick spoiler free plot of the book. Not sure how much changed in the movie. But the government took away anything that might be an inconvenience, race, color, hair color, pain, etc. Then a boy finds this out and some other things and he doesn't like it.

Haha, that sounds a lot like me and all that's going on with people trying to ban people smoking, people trying to ban cars that people actually have to drive... Well basically people trying to ban fucking everything. If you take all the risk, pain and inconvenience away from life there is nothing left to live for.

This has nothing to do with "better" this has to do with the message of the book & movie.

It is no movie review, this is a message to humanity.
