That penguin movie
Okay, so I'm not what you would call a movie person. I don't typically take kindly to being told to sit down, shut up, and focus without fidgeting. Yes, this behavior has continued past the age of three. Yes, I know it's bad, but I just can't get involved in something if I can't multitask. Even watching something on DVD may take an entire afternoon because I *will* do eight different things.
*shifts* I went to see the last Harry Potter movie twice. The first time, I told a mother to watch her kid more carefully and to teach him manners. She told me to fuck off and then told her kid that I was a meddlesome bitch. The second time, I accidentally kicked the woman in front of me...in the head...three times...*sheepish smile* We never did explain to my baby cousins why the woman in front of us was so upset.
I have now seen Happy Feet either two or three times. I think only two, but I'm not positive--I stop counting after I repeat a movie. Every. single. person. I've talked to has more or less said, "It's such a nice movie. It's a great children's movie!"...
Were these people watching the same movie I was?! There is mention of sexual acts --repeatedly, both oblique and nearly outright-- as well as more than one complex analysis of societal norms and behavioral patterns. I'd also like to point out that I have seen my coach's three year old focus on a movie without moving for three hours before. This movie? He paid more attention to the seats in front of us than to the movie. My six-year-old niece had a similar reaction. She liked the penguins but it bored her.
I loved the analysis, but it is boring on a superficial level. Gods, but I do love the societal analysis. It's a critique on "normal" relationships, nature vs. nurture, global warming, politics, pollution, overfishing, societal norms, and learned behavior. And it's so delicious...I should stop analyzing movies. I really should.
*pouts* But it's fun! More fun than being one of those stupid people who are on beta-waves while watching television. *sulks*
