Oblivion. The title of the movie that brought about some questions which was buried since the movie Inception. What if it was all a lie? What if we were created one second ago, along with all the memories that we have of life as we know it? What if we are working towards a goal that was never there? What if?
Enough of mind boggling thoughts, it is bad enough knowing tomorrow is Monday, lie or not. The thing about movies though, it was always about a person that did not go with the flow, did not abide by the rules. It is always that person who did not follow the regulations that realize that the paradise was an illusion and saves the day and wins the girl. Is it that rewarding to step out of line? Many tried it, only to end up getting 'what they deserved'. Rules are put there for a reason, and not following will result in death, as inspired by The Croods. But is this what we truly deserve? Will going against the social norm really result in imminent catastrophe? We are trained since young to abide by it, but why then are movies telling otherwise? Does the rebel really gain more than the average Joe?
In the end, can we all report through the intercom, saying that we were 'an effective team'?
