Serenity/Fridge: Difference between revisions

** All of this ultimately validates Mal's warning: "...sure as I know anything, I know this: they will try again." The experiments on River as well as Miranda are proof that they will continue to try to make people better. They will not stop.

*** Yes, yes, YES! And to that, let me add this other beautiful piece: the climax rolls around and the Operative confronts Mal. This exchange follows:

'''Mal''': "You have no idea how true that is." }}

*** In other words, the Reavers themselves are innocents, victims of {{spoiler|the Alliance's experiments who can't help what they became}}. If that line is any indication, Mal is not placing any blame on them for what they're doing even though {{spoiler|Wash was killed barely half-an-hour ago, if that}}. The only people to blame for the events of the movie - events which include a chain that seems to be leading to {{spoiler|their inevitable ''destruction''}} are [[Hoist by His Own Petard|the Alliance themselves]]. - [[Caellach Tiger Eye]]

* In a deleted scene at the end of the movie, the Operative makes the parallels between him and Mal obvious by asking Mal how he was able to keep living after the battle of Serenity Valley. Mal's response is "If you're still standing there when that engine starts, you never will figure it out." This sounds like a simple threat, but it's actually the answer to his question - the only way to go on is to "keep flying," not to let yourself get stuck.

* The last line during the death scene of {{spoiler|Shepherd Book}}. I just realized that I misheard this one every time I've watched the movie, and have frequently seen it misquoted. I heard something on this time through that I'd never heard before. The subtitles don't include the word 'her' but are otherwise word for word reproduced here.

{{spoiler|Book}} (''Continuing'')I don't care what you believe, just believe in... her.. Whatever sh... }}

::I'd always heard it (and seen it quoted elsewhere) as "I don't care what you believe in, just believe it" and missed the fact that this changes the meaning of the entire quote. Possibly because there was [[Sand in My Eyes|a lot of dust]] in every single room that I've watched the movie in before.
