I watched three “Final Destination” movies because my friend told me that this series was what a horror movie fan must not miss. I am a horror movie fan who always watch horror movies with a really cool head, because I am clear that there must be some explanations for those horrifying things, maybe the girl is undead or that guy can see ghosts, some “reasonable” reasons like that. But in this movie, couples of people die because they survived in a traffic accident. Isn’t it the strangest reason of being killed in the world? 

This movie gave me a totally new understanding of survival. In real life, there are plenty of examples in which people foresee or just feel the coming danger and survive because of that. Those people are looked at as incredibly lucky guys. It is the most natural thing to consider survival from a deadly accident as lucky. But why? Those survivors died or will die one day. We can escape from death at this time does not mean that we will survive the next second. Then why do we feel lucky? Because of the extra second? That’s silly! So how should we treat survival? A delay of death? Maybe. So that, death comes sooner or later, should we just give up fighting for survival? 

When facing death, the young adults tried their best to escape from the shadow of the death. Though they have never won one game, they stuck to figuring out the signs before death’s arrival. At last, the heroine drove into the lake to commit suicide, being driving crazy by the pressure of friends’ death and her self’s coming death. She did not die, because the hero saved her. At that time, I believe that a strong will to protect somebody can beat death. But in the last act of the movie, a guy got killed in an accidental explosion when he was having picnic with the hero and heroine. Does the shadow of death come back again? Or it is purely an accident? We do not know the answer, but I believe that everyone has an answer in his or her mind. Just like that, everyone has his or her own choice of whether we should fight hard for survival or not.
