Does this Linkin Park music video looks similar to the movie 'Sunshine' ?

After watching the music clip, I can't help noticing how much similar it is with the movie, Sunshine. If you haven't watched it, go and watch it. And you'll know what I mean.

The spaceship, the blackness of space, the glowing sun and the technology inside the spaceship, all of it looks so similar with the movie. I don't know if the band knows it, but I got a feeling the director or even the producer of this music clip took some inspiration from the movie. But I feel, it looks way too similar. Somewhat like copying the whole concept of it.

Don't get me wrong, the music is great. I like the beat and the lyrics. A nice song to listen to in the car while you drive back home from work at night. My only wish is that the music would go on longer than 3 mins 24 seconds.

Anyway, here's the lyrics.

Lyrics:

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared


After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

This China girl is so heartless to say that!

I didn't know what she was talking about because it was in a Chinese language, Mandarin I think. I manage to find a fellow YouTuber who translated it into English. After listening to the translation, I am appalled that she said those things towards the earthquake victims in China. People are suffering and dying in YOUR country and this is what you do? You criticize them and belittle the efforts of those who are helping them.

She said "You know when the rocks and buildings are coming down, why don't you just stay inside obediently, why were you screaming and yelling for help?" Well how about I put a big rock on your puny chest and dare you not to scream.

And this girl is ranting, all because she wasn't able to play her online game! How selfish are you to think about playing your stupid game rather than contributing to help YOUR country people who are in need. I really despise this girl. The way she folds her arms and just keep talking with her eyes rolling and blaming those victims for the 'plight' she is in now, sighing in between sentences.

60,000 people dead and still counting, people are still suffering. There are those without sufficient food, water and medical supplies. They are homeless and have lost all their belongings.

Some comments I read about her video says that she has the right to "Freedom of Speech". Well personally, I think she is speaking IRRESPONSIBLY. Anyway, I read that she was detained.

Here's the English translation:

Singapore beaten by Uzbekistan 3:7 (World Cup qualifier)

The first 30 mins of the game was really exciting. Both sides showed showed great flair and spirit in going for goal. But sadly, after that, Singapore's defense just came crashing down.

Mohd Noor was excellent in the back, he went for the ball and worked hard in trying to keep the ball away from the net. Baihakki's performance, however, wasn't good. He made a number of misses that cost the game. He wasn't quick and not pressuring the Uzbek's forwards enough. Precious's usual dominance in defense was no where to be seen. We are talking about players who have experienced in European football, tall men like Precious isn't going to instill fear in their hearts. Precious has to work on his speed, agility and aggression. The Uzbek's forwards were fast and more experienced, so definitely the defense has to counter it with quick feet and strong pressure in the next match.

Singapore's midfield's was fairly good to me, saw some good skills from the midfielders even though I feel that they should have been more 'hard' in the game. For the first time, I am seeing players like Wilkinson showing good ball control and skill on the field. His tackling was right on and manages to win the ball for Singapore in many occasions during the match. Being in the right position, at the right time. Wilkinson has improved since I saw him in the last match. His scoring was excellent too.

Singapore's forwards were pretty good. They tried many options to score and never felt like holding back. They went forward and tried a few shots which were denied by the goalkeeper and defense. But still they manage to score 3 goals. Duric's score was an uplift for Singapore, and I hope to see more of him in the next match. Amri always gives his all in every match but I think he needs a little more support. The defense is always marking him and it is proving really difficult for him to even penetrate the line. If he had a partner that would compliment his skill, that would be great, much like how Fandi and Abbas used to play.

Overall, Singapore's defense has to improve a lot. There are weak players at the back which I am sure there will be some change in players. The midfield has to be more hard and keep controlling the game as much as possible to disallow any attacks by the Uzbek's to even try penetrating the defense. Their go for goals, to me, is essential in the next match. Because long shots from goal is always a surprise for the goalkeeper but it has to be with good accuracy and power if there are to beat the goalkeeper.

What I find lacking is set pieces. Singapore has to have to be creative upfront to beat the defense line of the Uzbek's. Today, we saw that the Uzbek's can be scored against. Even though Singapore has lost greatly in this match, we are the only country in the group who has scored against them. I think this reality shows that the Uzbek's can be beaten if we work hard enough.

I did saw the Uzbek's coach looking concern during the match. I think he underestimated Singapore's fighting spirit in the match and their ability to score. Frankly, I think both sides have to work on their defense strategies. Singapore being the one who has to do a lot of work on that aspect.

Looking at the height of this man. He is so tall and so fast! He is no doubt, the lightning bolt of the track!

His compatriot, Asafa Powell (the previous record holder at 9.74 seconds) congratulated him but says that he is re-claiming back the world record.
