Her mother loved life and just got out of the hospital and wanted to ride it one more time, it was one of those really fun rides. Her mom was so happy to be able to go back to the amusement park.
Her mother and brother are in the front car during a roller coaster accident.
Mattie, who was in a rear car survives and in the next scene finds herself in:
The operating room light above her has shines down on her as do the four green masked faces.
Mattie is groggy but can still hear.
The surgeon says this isn't going to hurt a bit.
The field goes white and the light becomes the exhaust of a jet that is taking her down to CellWorld.
Scene is photographed from Matties POV.
down in the cell
The cytoplasmic sequences will use people floating in tanks and being filmed .roller coasters and scuba diving. when they enter the nuclear pore, it is like coming up into the center of one of those underwater dwellings where the water drips off and the air pressure keeps the water out.
There is no up or down in the cell, we should get used to seeing people sideways, upside down, etc. and there is NO GRAVITY in the cell, because cells are always floating, at least the stuff inside them is, only its more sparkly because more ions are trying to nibble at your toes like little piranas wondering if you are marked for digestion.
We see deliveryman again when Mattie and the gang get venture down the cell. He is none other than Blaze, the flamboyant news announcer from The Fifth Element. He is our cellular tour guide. No longer the quiet UPS/Fedex/Airborne package delivery guy.
"Blaze" narrates as we go from the real world level to the nano level of the inside of a cell. our characters live on the inside of the cell and there is a correspondence between parts of the cell and the people in matties life, including the people next door. it is a dream, it is like the wizard of oz, but it is also different because things become more mechanical when we get down to the bottom.
