In War of the Worlds staring Tom Curise, the main characters steal a mini van that a mechanic has recently fixed. The Aliens shutdown down all power and modern Vehicles just before invading. As such working Cars are rare, the characters find themselves driving through a large crowd of survivors. The survivors quickly take note of the working car, and want to get inside. As it becomes obvious the main characters aren’t going to stop, they try and take the car by any means necessary. After being Pulled out, The characters are forced to give up the car. We see people literally killing each other for the car. The crowd is unfazed by the killing, and continue to fight over the car as an unseen person drives it away. I actually have two questions. What do you think happened to the car, after it was driven off screen? Was it destroyed by aliens, or did people keep fighting over it until it just stopped working all together? Also why is Tom Cruises character crying over the loss of the vehicle? Does he feel like he’s failed his family, or was it because they came super close to dying? 🤔
