who is the star?

In the last post we left Harvey as he was laying behind Jim Caviezel in a stable clinging to life.



That scene ends, and we cut to find Harvey in a field with dozens of other villagers ‘gathering wood’, and ‘making himself look busy’. There is an unquestionable repetitive nature to this activity since each, and every time he completes his pile, he must ‘reset’ and do the whole thing all over- always ‘locking it down’, ‘rolling sound’, and starting on ‘action’.

This is moment is in the past since there is considerable effort on the parts of Kainin (Jim Caviezel), and ‘the guy who had nothing’ (Jack Huston) to build a trap for the alien monster.



While carrying a log on his shoulder, and walking a ‘slippery banana’, Harvey catches the eye of a beautiful red haired villager (Sophia Myles). Harvey was really only looking at her, and he was told by a viking friend that talking to the 'stars' was frowned upon.

But, the sun was out, the air was warm, and the three pairs of long underwares Harvey had on seemed heat him down below without the thoughts of the red haired villager.



Later that day, the scene jumped to night, and Harvey is standing amidst two torches some thirty feet in the air on the ‘parapets’. He is wearing a helmet adorned by silver chainmail. He is holding a flaming arrow, and he is aiming down into the trap. A command is given, which makes him jump back to the first time havey can remember. A voice yells: ‘The morween’ (alien monster) runs into the trap’, and the gate thunders shut. Harvey pulls back ready to fire, and remembers a moment when he was on the ground holding a spear, then another moment when he was lying dead on the ground, and then an instance when he was running as an old man with a limp from sheild hall. Could these all be the same moment in time? how is it possible?



It is at this moment that I must stop you the reader, to ask you to consider what is happening. Is there still a missing piece to harvey's puzzle?



Time seems to be no friend of ours in piecing together this story.

The next scene we cut to the alien is running around the village. There is ‘mass chaos’, ‘everybody is running about’, and some characters are ‘looking for their lost children.’ Harvey is given a ‘route’ to run. With broadsword and shield in hand he takes of running through the village- First to the armory, then to the church, and over to the tannery where he meets up with another villager to ‘run in a team’ across the open square to the well. Although he is uncertain what he is running from, harvey is told, 'it will look great in post'.



At the instant Harvey takes of with his partner Kainin and the little boy are running down the same square. There is a collision. Bodies go flying and land in the mud covered ground. Harvey is instantly aware that this was not supposed to happen. People rush in from all direction to provide help. but it's not to harvey's friend who is lying in the mud. it is for kanin. after harvey is told kahin is also one of these 'stars'. harvey wished he was one too.



This week there is a call for ‘an aerial shot’. Let’s hope it can gives us some perspective on the current situation.
