Some belated thoughts on Creation.

[bagheera]

So... it took me a while to get to it, but perhaps for the better: Creation is not an easy film to comprehend on the first viewing, and a lot of its emotional subtleties came out only after several watches. The film got mixed ratings on RottenTomatoes and most critics who had issues with the film either thought it dispassionate, too much melodrama

I wish I could blame Hollywood for dumbing down our film expectations. But Hollywood only puts out what the audience will pay for. And I'm afraid America doesn't like movies that don't do all the thinking for you. It was so depressing to hear how many people didn't like 'the Prestige' because they didn't understand what was happening. I guess they needed the actors to SAY what was going on or else it wasn't obvious. Religious people protested 'the DaVinci Code' with picket signs. They burned Harry Potter books but LotR is okay... They made Borat the #1 movie in America for a while and flocked to see 'the Passion of the Christ' like it was a holy experience and. One guy we knew went to see it to get "healed." o_o I'm not joking. It's really no surprise that a movie about Darwin, would get some heat. Especially one that portrays him as a felling human being, and not the anti-Christ.

I shall be sure to rent 'Creation' since the only place that showed it in my area was one little indie theater. I'd like to talk about it with you after I see it. :)
