Knowing (2009)

*Spoiler Alert*

I just saw the movie. Yes, it will hold your attention to the end. You will have to wait to know the ending. And I have a question...

At the height of the story, when Caleb started writing numbers the way Lucinda did, what were the numbers for? Dates and coordinates of a disaster too? If yes, what would be the purpose of those numbers when the end of the world had already been predicted by Lucinda's numbers? There can't be another accident / disaster after the end of the world, it just sound pointless.

There are other things as well like the several space ships that launched from earth. They contained what? Other kids perhaps? Or animals like rabbits or moose? But didn't Caleb said that they were the chosen ones? So there can't be other kids, right? Or probably not... That would be best left to the viewers imagination.

And why... why is it that when something GRAND will happen, extra terrestrials are almost always involved, especially during the destruction of the earth? Or were they angels in different forms?

LATEST
this word inflicts confusion the way the word NEW does

TOMORROW
this is a never ending word, a favorite of those who do not want to lend money/items

PRESENT

I
a word that is common to all who are using English language, also an identifier

A WHILE AGO (aka KANINA in Filipino)
a phrase / word that is never clear as to how much time has passed since the event in question took place, needs a specific identifier called TIME

RIGHTS

LAWYER

Ending

i thought i was someone special
i believed i was the only one
until my worlds began to collide
i snapped but never died

creeping through the shadows
i explored the outer minds
i sought to touch my limits
there was nothing to find

a bit of flashes, a bit of acts
i raised my finger for a clap
my story began from an ending
the finale was never seen
