<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Like a quarter of the theater starting laughing during the Trinity death scene. Yeah, it was done a bit hokey, but at least try to keep your suspension of disbelief. Maybe that scene wasn't executed well, but I honestly can't judge after having people ruin my ability to.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I agree you shouldn't laugh out loud, but the fact that something like that even happened (in multiple theatres, nonetheless) goes to show how poorly done the ending sequences of the film were</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Because that's just so fucking obvious. Everything has opposites. To say that Taoism has it trademarked is absurd. It is a stable part of every religion, every belief, every form of magic, and even extends to the scientific world.</div>
