Minister: We may feel that our lives are not our own. That death controls.. frames our lives. Our births nothing but death begun. Yet whether it is with this tragic loss of young lives, which we have suffered much of lately, or with the soft passing of the elderly in the night, we are all equal in deaths eyes.
McKinley: Equal? In deaths eyes? All of us? How can you say that? Dude, think it through. Charlie Manson made it to 70. Osama- still kicking. Pimps, vice presidents walking around, all the atrocities they've commited, they're alive and well. These two girls, who never did shit to anybody, didn't even make it to 18? Where's the fucking equality in that? c]
Who is right and who is wrong? Ian McKinley objects to the fact that death takes its victims equaly- pointing out that Charles Manson made it to the age of 70, Osama Bin Laden is still alive, etc... Whereas these two deceased girls never made it to 18. Yet death takes the young and old, the innocent and guilty. Death does not judge us, or play favourites. Thus are we all "equal in the eyes of death." So who is right and who is wrong? Ian may well be the one spouting nonsense, but he does make a good point. In the words of Erin Ulmer, death is fucking complicated. (Ian would just object again and say that it's simple).[/
Death is a confusing thing. This movie has got me wondering if we really can determine our fate. The slightest thing can kill or save us from our own final destination. When people say that you never know which day will be your last, I finally realise what they mean.
