Taken 2 was a pretty exciting action film. I didn't watch the first installment, Taken, but can follow up with the storyline just fine. I even googled for the synopsis of Taken in the cinema secretly haha.
the conflict is mostly centred around revenge, and perhaps about love too, how love can be so great you'd risk your lives for others?
Isn't it how ironic people can be? We were taught to treasure lives but in movies they depict killings so simply, killing people were like killing ants. Were those people who died really that insignificant? They were in the context of the film, but I can't help just thinking about life in general? What/Who gives you the right to kill? Even if you're doing it to protect your love ones/for revenge/for your job as a cop etc, is killing ever justified? Sure, when we justify anything, we're judging them with values of our own. Is that okay, or maybe it doesn't matter anyway. It happened, will happen and will continue happening anyway. People die and there's nothing that we can do about it.
Which brings me to another movie that i watched the same weekend-looper. It was awesome, albeit a bit mind boggling with all the time travel stuffs, leaving you brain fried at times trying to figure out the plot. That again, I was appalled at how people were killed so insignificantly again. Like their lives don't matter. It's probably true but it still hurts.
I know I'm thinking too much, it's just a movie(s). GET OVER IT.
