Baaaa
Can't people think for themselves anymore? I never understand the idea that a book or a movie will change what anyone thinks. I was raised Catholic...am I still Catholic? No. Did it have anything to do with books or movies? No. Wylie's mom posted an excellent post about this movie and the way people view religion. In fact, I've quoted it a few times to my family, I loved it so much. It's exactly how I've always felt but didn't know how to express it.
I will tell you though, the more strict the parent the more you risk your children rebelling. Overly religious usually equals very narrow minded, sadly. The Harry Potter books started so many kids reading again. It was absolutely wonderful! In fact, all this bad press the movie is getting is even making more people read the book. Heck, I thought the movie looked boring(Nicole Kidman can't act to save her life IMHO). But all the drama about it makes me consider renting the darn thing when it's finally on dvd.
If anyone out there is leaving it up to movies to raise their children then egads, the world is at an end
I did see Enchanted this past weekend. If you want mindless enjoyment, check that out. It did have pretty dresses in it and anytime I get a big ol' bucket of popcorn I'm a happy camper. Movies are a major source of enjoyment for our family. We can't wait for the new Wil Smith movie out in a week!!!! Zombie/vampires I've heard.
