Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Alex]

Well, I can tell you that the circle of top movie critics in this country are overwhelmingly liberal and they overwhelmingly liked it (84% according to RottenTomatoes). Not that this means much.

I'm overwhelmingly libertarian and I liked it very, very much.


I find it interesting that some are turned off by the conservationist message (which isn't, in my mind, any worse than in dozens of other movies). Essentially it is the same message as Open Season a couple months ago: animals, if given their druthers, would really prefer us human stop screwing with them.

The conclusion of the conflict is really bizaare, but to my mind a good kind of bizarre.

Like I said in the Bond thread it pretty much all worked for me (particularly how the humans were handled at the end) but I can understand why people don't like it. I had the same reaction to Babe: Pig in the City. I loved it, most hated it, and while I could understand why still think they are wrong.
