Before continuing this post, this post will contain a thorough storyline of the movie so whoever is not interested about spoilers, etc should not read this post.
I suppose to be a crazy movie lover, I had a chance to watch the movie “Chronicles”. This is a sci-fi movie, where teenagers accidently gets exposed to extraterrestrial subject and earn a super power. As the movie progresses, these kids’ powers grow stronger and stronger. As most super power movies try to address is that, power comes with a responsibility. This is actually a quote from an infamous movie “Spiderman”. This so called “power” interested me in many ways, because in the real world, power doesn’t necesserily mean super powers. It can be either political power, economical power or the power to influence people. As reading many works during this semester, many of the writers exercise these “power” by their work, which we all read couple of hundred years later in current time. Their power of influencing people is a significant one, which can be compared to the so called super powers that are expressed in these movies. This just amazed me how a piece of literature can be influential. Also their is an old saying that a pen is stronger than a sword.
The reason i brought this up is that, as we are living in technology based world, it is easy to influence many people in both positive and negative way, by a single post in their blog, facebook etc. That is why, I believe we should think of certain consequences before posting anything on the internet, because a simple thing can change a person’s live.
