Anyways, how does a lion make sense in the apocalypse story?[/quote]The point is that there is no reason to point out that it is an animate object as opposed to an animate object. For example, if I pointed at my computer and said, "IT'S NOT ALIVE!", that would be stupid. There has to be some reason that a person would say "It's alive" or else it is just poor filmmaking. A good reason to say, "It's alive" would be if something is normally inanimate or dead, but is brought to life, like in Frankenstein. I see no reason that that someone would look up at a creature and say, "It's alive." At least "It's a lion" points out the fact that it is a specific animal.[quote name='BluffCityBlue' post='419419' date='Jul 19 2007, 12:54 AM']When the person says "its alive!", they are making it obvious that it isnt a bomb or something...its some type of living, breathing creature....its not saying "its a lion!"..[/quote]So you're saying that it's possible to mistake a bomb for a living creature? Please elaborate.[quote name='SBoyd415' post='419433' date='Jul 19 2007, 01:17 AM']Because Justice didn't know what he was talking about?
[/quote]I don't know what I'm talking about? Heh.Anyway, after looking at the trailer again, they are all standing around a tv and the reporter says that there is a creature f*cking sh*t up. The camera kinda messes up, then this guy looks up and it
sounds like he could be saying it's a lion. I'm not sure where anyone got it's alive from. I only read multiple places that someone says, "It's a lion." If they say otherwise, it seems to be pretty poor writing to me. It would be pretty retarded to watch a news report that tells you that something living is roaming the streets, then go outside and note that said living thing is alive. That's just me though; I don't write screenplays.Then there's the Biblical side of it...
Revelation 4:7 (New International Version) In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.
Revelation 5:5 (New International Version)5Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."
^ Basically that is saying that a "lion" begins the apocalypse. Many Biblical scholars have thought that this could be England, as they have been known for that symbol. Note above that another one of the living creatures is a flying eagle. I'll let your mind wander with that.But I digress. My point was, that if a filmmaker decided to take the above passages literally, it would make sense to have a lion as the beginning of the apocalypse. Apparently, I don't know what I'm talking about though. I'll bow out here and let the geniuses go to work unraveling whatever "It's alive!" means.
