Maroon Bells

Cameron parked his car with his jacket and long paints since the winter was starting to freeze him, just as his difficult brother freezes him from the family dinner, he recently had a fight with. As Cameron is walking by the edge of the lake as the sun starts to set down, dimming the lights soon to be dark, where it is being set by a beautiful view of Maroon Bells. Cameron sits down slow and quietly on the dome of a big rock and ponders the view to be fantasized. Cameron is seeing the view of Maroon Bells that looked like the reflection of the water being shaped as a bridge, because the shape of the view is like a bowl filled with stars of the Milky Way, shining along with the mountains in the center middle. As Cameron sees the water, he sees that the Maroon Bell is slightly disappearing. He looks down on the lake and only see a version of himself with the stars above him. He feels the sound is being too quiet because the sound was clean with several night bugs cricketing quietly, and the nighttime is giving a night ambience at which Cameron is starting to get into the feels. As he feels that’s he’s watching someone sing on Broadway as a solo. The smell that Cameron senses is the outside bells being uncertain to him. The cold of the night covers all the senses around its nature that makes Cameron feel ok with it. The only sense of smell he can sense is the water that spews up the invisible air. Though Cameron wishes it was a smell of fresh mashed potatoes with ham for thanksgiving. He tastes the aesthetic sampling of nature that is mixed with pure green grass and flowers blooming around the scenic view of the night. But the taste Cameron has is like melted ice in his mouth breathing. And for the color that Cameron sees on the Maroon Bell’s mountains that’s misty white with ridges of grey shaped like a wedding cake along with layers of green and yellow trees surrounding the side of two identical hills. Cameron can feel some goodness from it, as well as the sky full of stars that lights up white and shining bright, spacing the darkness into pieces. On the right side of the Bells making the milky way brighter pink and purple makes Cameron feel like he’s about to be sucked into a wormhole, but he would rather not let the wormhole take him away from this view. Overall, for Cameron, he feels that he is at peace from the incident. He may be alone, but at this point it doesn’t look bad for him.

Out of the Hospital

10:30am in the morning of Korea, Hansol was tirelessly opening his eyes like dried clams. Looking out of his room with all the post-morning sun shining on him along with the traffic getting busy on the side of his apartment, waking him up slowly.As Hansol started to wake up in is white undies, Hansol started to change quickly without a chance of taking care of his mouth for mouth wash or brushing his teeth. He didn’t even eat at least a Korean breakfast or made Korean pancake. The only nutrient he can afford to take on this rush of day is an energy drink.

Hansol takes the elevator down from his apartment to the garage with his drink wearing a formal winter coat that is grey for Hansol’s favorite color. He arrived at his red sedan, entered his automobile with his gold keys, opens a can of energy drink to take one sip of its cold artificial flavors and then starts the engine and drives up on the highway.

Hansol driven on the highway of Seoul, the traffic was extremely bad due to the accident near by the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Hansol was listening to some K-drama music over sad K-pop music instead. By the time he started to drive very calmy and still, he then arrived by the hospital, which is the second time he went to since his first blood test.

As he entered the building with his ID, he went up the floor and walked in the patient room of room 17, where he met to great his father along with the family members, and his close sister Iroha. Hansol was worried sick about his father health due to the blood pressure of his Septic shock. His mom had to stay at the hospital all day to check up on his treatment with antibiotics that would help him with the cure. They release him on Monday if the process goes well. As they wait in the results, Hansol wants to take a break from the hospital but also brings Iroha along.

They head to the coffee store, buy some holiday lattes and sat down to reflect on yesterday at the restaurant. “I should have at least ordered some sushi at the restaurant, I just couldn’t stop thinking about the situation with dad, I was so stressed out since he left the restaurant that wasn’t feeling too good”. Iroha replied gently, “I had the same thing too, we were all stressed about him of what happened”. Hansol replied in a regretful way, “I should have come to the hospital with you guys. I don’t know why I couldn’t, maybe because last night was so stressful that I had to walk out of the restaurant and head home after dad was taken to ER”. Iroha replied in in a responsible way “we all have to learn how to grow from these issues, that is why he have our mentality. These things happen, and we learn to take control of our life from the unexpected”.

Rango Mid-Credit Scene

This scene includes an extra scene from the extended version of Rango that was not featured in the theatrical version. When I watched this scene, I thought having it as a mid-credit would flow the story better after the end of the main film since I thought the ending of Rango with an extended ending felt a little abrupt. So here is my version as a mid-credit scene.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World Opening Titles

This scene includes an opening version of How To Train Your Dragon 3 with titles. I made this because something was out of place from the second film where a villain (Drago Bludvist) was defeated but was left alive afterwards, making it feel like it might have been a set-up for the third film. However, that villain does not show up but was acknowledged off-screen, making it feel anticlimactic, even if it may not have overshadow the ending. These opening titles doesn't make up what happens to the villain, it only addresses his absence in order to respect the storyline of the third film.
