Can One Actually Tell?


"The theory of randomness says it's all simply coincidence. There is no grand meaning."

Went to watch the movie, Knowing-starring Nicolas Cage. Must say for me, I thought it's a really good movie to go and watch it yourself. Several scenes felt so real, I could hear myself going, "Oh my God!Oh my God, no!"

Not enough with what I've already had in the cinema, I came home wiki-ing about it. Apparently most scenes were shot in Melbourne. Here is part of the info I read on film's wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowing_(film) - the link contain spoilers, you've been warned.

The film is set in Boston, and to represent the city, filmmakers used Australian locations such as Geelong Ring Road, the Melbourne Museum, Mount Macedon, and Collins Street.[1] Filming also took place at Camberwell High School, which was converted into William Dawes Elementary, set in Boston circa 1959.[6] Interior shots took place at the Australian Synchrotron to represent an observatory.[7][8] Filming also took place at the Haystack Observatory in Westford, Massachusetts.[9] In addition to practical locations, filming also took place at the Melbourne Central City Studios in Docklands.[10]

Funnily weird, cos while I was in the cinema, I told Paul "Shit these tragedies could all happen when I'm in Melbourne when I go in June." Now after reading its wiki and finding out about the location of the movie, hmm I wish I can pull back whatever I've told him earlier on. Me and my mouth, as always.
