The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

GOLDEN GATE BLOWN OFF AGAIN!

Obviously it is not about the strait but the bridge that covers it – and obviously it is again going to be on the ‘celluloid screen’. 

I may be wrong here in judging the prop in the scene but I would like to think I am right - that another movie scene has written the iconic 'Golden Gate Bridge' off - blowing it again - in fact annihilating it. 

And it happens time and again - be it an apocalyptic script or a theme or a simple larger than life thrilling adventure.

The thought came to my mind while watching trailer of 'X Men: Apocalypse'.

I think it was the Golden Gate Bridge that was shown to go down in the trailer and here we need to keep this in mind that in another 'X Men' film, i.e., 'X-Men: The Last Stand', we had seen some similar treatment with the bridge, though, with a moderate spectacle.

I have seen it so many times - and so have others - the 1937 bridge coming down with a big, thunderous blast, huge clouds of dust and smoke and lots of chutzpah in movies with apocalyptic times or movies that show the Golden Gate Bridge facing critical destruction of climactic scenes as it was in Godzilla.

And after this trailer, continuing this random thought, I think I will write a larger piece on the subject (:)) with some proper research. :)
