Scary movies, rollercoasters and everything what makes us feel scared under controll


The first fragment of "Blair witch project" the movie tells a story of a group young people making a documentary about a witch from Blair. Everyone knows the picture, so the further description is unnecessary, just take a look...  


Another fragment ("Death Proof") shows a pretty risky but somehow attractive sort of entertainment, what is considered to be a great (scary!) fun by lot of us...   



Why sometimes do we undertake a task to get in a roof of a high building? Just to check out the distance between the ground and the point where we are? Or maybe take a look over the area around us? Or might be that we'd like to find a satisfaction in beeing scared and having controll under it? ("Stranger than Fiction")


...and something nasty, unjust, intolerable, unethical and still fun for some people => short fragment of "Funny Games" (parallel to "The Strangers", where the only conversation between victims and murderers looks so:

V.: Why are you doing this to us?
M.: ...because you were home...) 



ENGLISH SUBTITLES FOR THIS FRAGMENT:


-Would you sit down?

Can you give me your gloves?

...only it's all inverted. But of course all these predictions are wrong so as to avoid a panic. But now Kelvin knows how it really is... and wants to warn his wife and daughter in time. But the problem is not only getting from the world of antimatter to reality, but also to regain communication -

- Look! Now that's a sporting attitude!

Hey, look out, fatso! I thought you were a non-swimmer. Go and get the widow. She'll feel lonely otherwise.

- Would you mind cooperating?

- It's not easy. Otherwise I might hurt you.

- So. Where was I?

- The communication problems between matter and antimatter.

- Exactly. As if you were in a black hole! Gravitation is so strong that nothing can escape it: absolute silence.

- By the way, what's the time?

- What?

- What's the time?

- Just after eight.

- Already?

- Why? The deadline was at 9:00. She had almost an hour left!

- Firstly, it was too hard to sail like that, and secondly, I'm starting to get hungry.

- That's true.

- ...when Kelvin overcomes gravitation, it turns out that one universe is real, but the other is just a fiction.

- How does that happen?

- What do I know! It was a kind of model projection in cyberspace.

- And where is your hero now? In reality or fiction?

- His family is in reality and he's in fiction.

- But the fiction is real, isn't it?

- How do you mean?

- Well, you see it in the film, right?

- Of course.

- so, it's just as real as the reality which you see likewise, right?

- Crap.

- Why?

- Is anyone awake yet?

- Who is it?

- Good morning to you. Sorry to disturb you so early, but I've come from Anna's.

- And?

- Don't you remember me? Yesterday afternoon, on the jetty. I'm Paul.

- Oh, yes.

- Good morning.

- Morning. Anna sent me. We had guests arrive unexpectedly this morning... and she wonders if you could spare her a few eggs?

- I think so.

- Come in. Wait a minute.

And the last fragment ("Fight Club") which goes without saying.
