McDull, Me & My Mum Trailer
Doctor Who Extra - Series 8 Episode 11 - Dark Water
Two unlikely movie / TV show being compared as they both share a theme on death.
First, I'm going to talk about McDull: Me & My Mum. McDull is not a bright kid but he eventually grows up as a brilliant detective "Bobby Mak". The story is about McDull telling his story of his childhood, his relationship with his mother and how he becomes Bobby Mak.
McDull has a close relationship with his mother. Even though they were very poor, his mother always tried to provide with hin the best and she always made good excuses to make McDull feel better about life. After his mother passed away, McDull ranaway until one day, he suddenly discovered his talents, after all these years being "dumb".
The theme of appreciating the love of our parents is very touching. I think McDull found it regretful that he didn't stay with his mother but ran away to be a sailor on her last few years. It also reminds us on how we should treasure our time with our parents.
The second material I want to talk about is the two-part finale of Doctor Who Series 8. It is surprising that Dark Waters starts with Danny Pink being dead. It makes Clara go crazy and she takes it out on the Twelve Doctor.
When Clara found Danny, he has already been turned to a half-zombie half-cyberman. It's a dilemma for her to decide whether to cut off his emotions by activating the cyberman emotions inhibitor. It's becasue Danny says that the emotions of remembering Clara hurts him so much.
The most disturbing part of the story is that the TV noise we heard is deciphered as "Don't cremate me! X3". So scary!!!!!!!!!!! There is afterlife and the soul is still connected with the body on earth and would feel the cold and pain and even the burning. That's horrible news about afterlife. Those with skeletons preserved will resurrect and rise again as cyberman.
So it is said that the egyptians preserved their bodies for resurrection. If the majority of Hong Kong people will most likely be cremated one day as tombs are in shortage in Hong Kong, will they not be able to resurrect?
