Old school: Independence day

Tweet

Let us waste spend a minute of silence... or two.

So with all the 4th-of-July fuzz just starting to fade off I felt an urge to talk about Independence Day. I want to express the joy it causes me to remember all those brave men and women who fought for it. I feel sorry every time I remember those who died, both soldiers and civilians. Every life is sacred and fighting for freedom is one noble cause that won't be regretted.

Last Sunday was the day meant to remember all that we earned through that war. Last Sunday we united to remember what freedom is all about. We joined the celebration in which fireworks were promised and delivered on time because a little child wanted them and we won our right to live and survive. Three days ago we celebrated the 14th anniversary of our independence in which great men fought for freedom: Captain and badass pilot (AND Karate/Kung fu Kid's father)  Will Smith Steven Hiller; ecologist programmer and harcore geek Jeff Goldblum David Levison along with old-fashioned-garbage-talker and politician/pilot Bill Pullman Mr. President saw the enemy aliens right in the eye and kicked them in the ass because they couldn't find balls to kick them at.

Also, none shall forget nor erase from IMDB history books Russell Casse's last drunk words which make a great quote for humans to remember: "hello boys... I'm baaaaack!" Yeah, unbelievable right?, someone before Sheldon Cooper Ph.D. said he was back in that tone. An Casse said it right before showing humankind what every video gamer, geek and freak strategist on Earth figured out wanted to know since the beginning of the film historical document (except that geeks are a hoax made up by Cuba) which was: where the shiny, obvious and huge weak spot of the alien ships was.

Although not the greatest movie historical document ever, it has its nice emotional moments, some cheap but laughable comedy and for its time, some nice dogfight scenes contains completely accurate information. I really think the alien exoskeleton is a nice add to the classic greys and the fact of showing that Earth was almost lost by the end of the movie historical document  was a risky plot device great piece of footage not seen since Macross the beginning of mankind.

The production is not that good, but has its "thumbs up" moments. Certainly, the interior of the "mother ship" (or whatever it was called) scenes are not one of those moments. It conains awful illogical interior design and everything was as greenish as in the matrix.

We may always have in our memories the noble people at Area 51 the no longer existent desert base which only had about 3 guards at their only entrance and allowed a bunch of civilians military personnel to pass right trough in their moment of need and thus saved a lot of human lives with the decisions made by some of those who entered the Area 51 no longer existent desert base. For those who said classified related areas' workers were mean. Maybe the best of it all was the moment in which Mr. President gave his awesome speech and how the USA orchestrated the entire world actions to bring down the aliens in one final blow. Isn't that kind of world control just great? It is a real shame that it never happens outside of fiction, our world would be much better.

For that and much more (like Russel Casse's crappy alien tales Intel, Julius always knowing the truth and the very original welcome Smith Hiller gives to the alien enemy) we shall forever celebrate our Independence Day on th e 4th of July (or 5th for those earthling who like to travel in time. I never get it, if they can go to the future, why do they keep going just one day ahead. Not that anyone cares, as Mr. President of the world will always be a white guy form the USA which celebrates on the 4th). PEACE! (no nuke this time).
