Why Super 8?

Another family friendly movie from Steven Speilberg!!! A movie that should be watched with the whole family or friends. :)

I watched it last Sunday night in Event Cinema - Parramatta with my flatmates. Basically the movie was from the genius and imaginative mind of Speilber. The movie keep me thinking of unusual stuffs that was outside the earth. Is it possible that there are lives beyond us?.

The setting was dramatically cascaded in the late 70's. The story was all about the 6 teens - an amateur film makers, make up artist, actors/actress and special effect who were creating zombie movie. When they have the scene in train station, the was a massive explosion happened. Until there was a military invasion because the of the explosion and its like weird rubix cube have shattered all over the area. The Alien species doesnt want to hurt human being - he was doing it for his survival - although there were heaps of people being captured, the specie managed to express its feeling that he only wanted to leave earth and go back to his own planet.

It was so amazing how the alien spaceship was built and how the alien managed to leave the earth. He didnt mean no harm but it was his survival instinct. Honestly, it was the military's fault why it acted that way.

Lesson?. Yes, there is. I realised that family should always come first no matter how hard and miserable we are, like Alice's father who always get drunk and blame himself for those people he accidentaly hurt. He then realise and asked forgiveness. There are things and lives that we need to let go for everybody's benifit and freedom so we can go ahead and make our lives more productive and worthy. Joe's and his friend's bravery was remarkable, they risked their life to save their friend Alice... that is true friendship.

But, i still dont get it... why is the title "SUPER 8"?
