*SPOILER ALERT*
*******************


So I just watched "The Horsemen" with my family and Anthea, and I think it was really interesting, cause a while back I was thinking how it would be like if one day you found out that it was the Apocalypse, and you were appointed to be the Horseman Death and had to kill people you loved.

Here was some stuff I think came form the movie, which was really memorable:

"Death is a physicality; War is a mindset"

"Death is the end; War is everything else"

Heres how it went down, I'm only gonna talk about how each person died.

War's victim was her mother, whose lungs filled with blood due to a puncture, causing her to die, but she was on drugs when they hooked her onto a suspension rig with fish hooks.

Pestilence was killed by the other three, because he betrayed them.

Death was gay, and hooked his brother up to a suspension rig and used a weird metal device to keep his brother's eyes open. Then he took a surgical saw and sat down in front of his brother and cut open his chest, nearly reaching his heart.

Conquest somehow managed to hook himself to a rig, and I think was cut at the side of his torso. He lived.

I find it ironic that Death died.

I also found it strange that War revealed herself.

Both Dad and I found it meaningfull that each person killed the person who was closest to the heart of the person they wanted to punish.

(woah, a lot of "person"s in that sentance)

Death killed himself because his brother couldn't accept his homosexuality.

War killed her mother because she was adopted as it was thought her mother was barren, until her sisters were born, that, and her foster father sexually abused her.

Pestilence.. I think Pestilence was heartbroken or something, I don't know.

Conquest's father divorced his mother and was busy working when she died of cancer.

Dad thought it was really bad that they killed their victim's most beloved.

I won't say its BAD, but its the most inhumane thing to do to a person, which is why I think it was a very clever thing to do.

Death is too easy, its like letting people escape form pain. I think honestly, that if you should hurt a person, they should live to a ripe old age in suffering. They should.

Think Heathcliff, who ahd to suffer living, and you'll understand.

I think Dad didn't understand because he was looking at it from a parent's point of view, whilst I was looking at it through the eyes of a horseman.

I think I can fully understand the desire to hurt people you hate so badly that they have to beg to die every day of a long life.

I just haven't found a legal way around that yet.

And I think I understand why War gave herself up. She wanted to kill her mother and that was her ultimate goal, but she also killed an innocent, untainted, unborn child, and I think even a "monster" like her understood the severity of that.

Dad said that people back in his day were stronger physically and emotionally.

Thats true, but back then the world and people weren't so screwed up.
