Coming Soon ( 2008 ) is a movie about a young projectionist named Shane, who works at a cinema in Thailand and had promised to bootleg an upcoming Thai horror movie that has not been released yet to his friend , Chen . The horror film that he were to let his friend , Chen illegally record is about a crazy village woman who was hanged after she had been discovered for abducting and blinding children violently. After falling asleep during the screening in which his friend , Chen was recording , he woke up to find that his friend Chen had disappeared and left his DV-cam behind. He recovers Chen's DV-cam and sees a footage of Chen cowering in fright at something he had seen . Shane then becomes extra curious about what had happened and decides to run the horror movie for himself at the theatre again and was shocked to see Chen inside the movie laying dead with his eyes gouged out . The next day , Shane begins to encounter unusual paranormal events as he starts to encounter Shomba who is the evil spirit from the movie in several places . Eventually, he finds out the terrible secret behind the haunted movie in which the actor who acts as Shomba in the movie was really killed during the shooting of the hanging scene . Shane also finds out that all individuals who was involved in the making of the movie was also dead . Shane then starts to think deeply and comes out with an idea in which why Shomba haunts the viewers of this movie . This is for her revenge on why would they publish the movie despite of her being dead . Shomba then continues hunting for Shane till the point where Shane ends up being dead similarly as his friend Chen . The movie is then released and all viewers who viewed Shomba's death will experience the same fate as Shane .
One of the physics concept that i see present in this movie is when Shomba was hanged to her death . The hanging of Shomba obeys Newton's First Law in which all the forces acted upon Shomba are balanced . I can say that the hanging of Shomba was a success because the upward force which is the tension of the rope which connects her neck with the ceiling is equal to the downward force which is her weight ( W=mg ) . If the upward and downward force is equal , then Shomba is said to be in equilibrium which is at a certain height from the ground . Thus , the net force towards Shomba is zero and the acceleration is also zero .Objects at equilibrium must have an acceleration of zero . However , zero acceleration does not mean the object is at rest , it may also mean that the object is moving at a constant speed and direction . But for this case , we take it as the object is at rest as Shomba hangs perfectly at a certain place .
In conclusion , i can say that this movie applies and the physics concept really well without disobeying it . I must say that there are a lot more physics concept in this movie , some may be simple and some may be a lot more complex than the hanging of Shomba . But in my opinion , i only see and understand this concept the most . Thank you for reading
