Unstoppable...!

U N S T O P P A B L E



My tag line would be 'Locomotive behind locomotive.'

But is it all about the chase ? It's more than that. Let me express the way I visualize it.



But first things first. What made me glue my attention to 'Unstoppable.' I must say the advertising but seems it only got to me and none else and therefore am the only audience talking about it, but i thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

It's been more than 24 hours I saw the movie, but it was on my mind over the last weekend and the download was already on.

The first looks were that of a giant size locomotive in the train yard thinking (me) what could be more powerful and devastating than those ton size vehicles despite moving at the pace of a tortoise. The view of still vehicle was a sight to watch.



You could compare the surroundings to that of an aerodrome and could see how much a varying difference existed in the working lives of a pilot or an engine driver. None worked any less (hours of work) nor was the risk any less comparable, cause both carried behind them lives which could be at stake if anything went wrong. The thought scared me for a moment, since if a cab/bus/truck/auto driver thought the same, they would have never come to this job...cause gawd knows whose live could be at stake. More people die on road than in air...so why would someone eye not flying in air than on road (here locomotives included).

But that was just one part of it. Ran together the story of people mastering the locomotive and the efforts to stop it. Behind those efforts were the stakes of the train co. which would seek organisational benefit or avoid any loss first, just like a profit earning body seeks it's interest (at the lives of others). Calculations made and decisions done in the boardroom, while the efforts of those 2 men along with several others are on. Now this becomes more than a chase...a chase to 'Bring down the Bitch...this is your conductor speaking as says the young guy'
