Upside Down

Upside Down is first and foremost a love story. 

The protagonist Adam lives in a planet that has dual gravity. 

Two planets live next to one another. 

The gravity has 3 rules:

• All matter is pulled by the gravity of the world that it comes from, and not the other.
• An object's weight can be offset by matter from the opposite world (inverse matter).
• After some time in contact, matter in contact with inverse matter burns.

The two worlds are separated. 

While Up is rich and prosperous, Down is poor.

But I am not going to center into the love story bit. 

What I learned from this film is that no matter how you change the course of life, the Earth, even if we change planets, there will always be a society that comes up superior to others. People will always be competing with one another. It's always a battle of supremacy. People who are lucky enough to be superior will always condescend those who are far less lucky. Even if we are mere robots and we charge ourselves to electricity in order to survive, there will always be a minute set of individual robots who don't have access to electricity, thus draining their power and afterwards becoming junk or be taken to a salvage yard, where homeless robots gather round to get spare parts. 

This is our universe. We are doomed I guess to be this way.

Office Space

I learned from Office Space that slackers are usually the ones who stay in the company long and even get promoted.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

This is one helluva geek fest and I learned a lot from this movie. Not because I am (secretly) a fan of hipsters, but I love the whole design thing going in this movie. A lot of business ideas popped in my head. Like selling t-shirts that Scott Pilgrim wore throughout the movie. The tank-girl inspired outfit of Ramona Flowers. The other characters make up a very coherent look altogether.

Some random things I learned:
Vintage Phone Handset is still the-bomb
It's cool to have a gay friend who conspires with your sister
No matter how geek you are, if you're in a band, you're instantly hot!

 I also learned what geek out meant, and am so surprised that I do this A LOT!
