没了,才知道什么叫没了。

"The shock of this movie lies not in the buildings but rather in each person’s heart."

Aftershock -- An aftershock is a smaller earthquake that occurs after a previous large earthquake in the same area (the main shock). If an aftershock is larger than the main shock, the aftershock is redesignated as the main shock and the original main shock is redesignated as a foreshock. - source: wikipedia

This time, the aftershock occurred in my heart. Much tearing through the show but in the end, I was more disturbed after I left the theatres than looking at those scenes of pain. The buildings gave way, folded into half just like how it happened in the dreams in Inception, but of a different nature. The bodies left hanging on poles and by the edges of buildings. Under the debris, we are faced with a tough decision. Decided to amputate because she cant afford to put other's life at risk but in the end, she was so heartbroken that her daughter lost her leg. She witnessed all that, only to find forgiveness at that moment in time.

1976. 240,000. 23 seconds, 32 years. the numbers aren't enough.

How can we ever set ourselves in one location when everyone else moved on? In hoping that somebody might come back just looking for you in the old place. sounds very much like "the man who cant be moved" song. but its different. pining for a return, is a hell lot of pain. But the waiting continues.

I kept asking myself, what would my decision be? (and i wanted to ask her) "两个都得救!" but what if really have to choose 1? dammit. i really dont know. the heart ached when she kneeled down and apologised. the heart ached when she cried. the heart ached when he scolded her. the heart ached when she apologised profusely. the heart ached throughout.

The tears flowed freely and the heart is ruptured.
