Know1ng

So if you haven't seen the movie and want to see it. I saw the movie last night and it was good, but also freaked me out.

*****DON'T READ BELOW THIS LINE*****

That movie to me was depressing to me.

In 1959, at an elementary school in Lexington, Massachusetts, a time capsule containing the students' drawings of their ideas of the future is buried and set to be ceremoniously opened 50 years later. A girl named Lucinda contributes a page full of random numbers. That night, Lucinda is found in a school closet, where her fingers are bloodied and she complains about hearing voices. Like she was interrupted by the teacher and she dug those numbers into the door with her fingernails. It was pretty gorey.

In present time 2009, the time capsule is opened and the drawings are given to the current students. A boy named Caleb receives Lucinda's envelope. His father (Nicolas Caige), a widower and professor of astrophysics at MIT takes notice in the paper, and he soon realizes that part of these digits form dates and death tolls of every major disaster over the past fifty years, and suggests three disasters yet to come. I guessed this part, the first date he noticed was 9/11/01 and after that it had 2000 something. Meanwhile, Caleb begins receiving visits from mysterious figures in overcoats, he called them the Whispers, and during his encounters he hears their whispers in his head.

I'm not goin to get much detail after that in case you are reading this and havent seen the movie. Nicolas Caige tries to stop the next events and isn't able to. He tries to find Lucinda's daughter which he does and later on they team up to figure out a way to stop the timeline from coming true. Well the whispers were bad people, they were warning Earth of what was coming. When the numbers ran out. Everyone else was goin to die. And the way everyone die was because of the sun. The sun was having crazy flares and one shout out and destroyed everything on Earth. Except for Caleb and a bunch of other children. The whispers took them to a new planet and on the new planet there was this big white tree. A biblical refrence to the garden of eden I'm guessing and Caleb and Lucinda's grand daughter are the new Adam and Eve.

The funniest thing I noticed which my friends didn't catch was the bunnies. Caleb and Lucinda's granddaughter were allowed to take bunnies with them. Well bunnies are known for their population growth. Which caleb and the girl need to do to start over.
