Frequency

Currently Playing: Over Our Heads by Zero7 from my NEW Zero7 CD!!! (Thanx guys...)

just watched the movie "Frequency" on TV... i watched it in the cinema before, and it left a very deep impression on me. still remember it up to now... at least 3-4 yrs liao. i came out of it probably even more affected than after i came out of saving private ryan... hahah

= synopsis:
in 1999, under an aurora filled sky, a 36 yr old policeman switches on his father's old ham radio set for his fren and manages to speak to his fireman father, who's been dead for 30 yrs. policeman convinces his dad to take another course of action while fighting the fire that would supposedly kill him.

then as the new set of events 30yrs ago unfold differently, the policeman gets added memories... he now remembers all he knew before, but with a conflicting memory of his father dying of lung cancer 10 yrs ago instead... which his frens agree to as well.

but then he also realises that his mum is now missing from his life... turns out in saving his dad, things changed and his mum got murdered by a serial killer instead. still in contact with his dad from 30 yrs ago when his mum was still alive, father and son work together; father stopping the murders before they happen, while son tries to establish the murderer's identity from past crime records.

= end of synopsis... dun wanna spoil the movie if u guys wanna watch it.

maybe it sounds a little far fetched, a little cheesy, or just a little too confusing (my father got a bit blur)... but i find its a great "family working together" story and abt the son getting back what he lost years ago... and gave me the revelation that wat u do now affects ur future in ways u may not know. and i was reminded of it again.

so that's y i am who i am... i am not willing to do some things coz i know in the long run, it's going to hurt me, like smoking, drinking, gambling. and y i am willing to take certain risks and unwilling to take some others. coz just like in the show survivor, wat u do will ultimately come back to haunt u.

cautious? well at least i wun mess up too badly ;-)
