That's cool!
Okay. That was fun. I look forward to more. I'm with Fixed. The little song was pretty amazing.
Where are the links to the films themselves? I remember a whole list last year.
Sorry. Don't see what you're talking about.
And I put my fingers all over it.
I loved this movie when I first saw it in the theater, altho I wished the wire work didn't feel so flimsy. It's absolutely solid story telling, and the fighting was cool.
I got right away that it was a legendary setting with different traditions and rules. There's a lot that goes on in Western action films that doesn't faze Western audiences because they're used to it. I'm talking about the way guns are used without regard to reloading, the way guards can't hit the broad side of a barn, the magical level of driving that's often done, and so on.
Either way, Kee's life is going to involve a lot of medical poking and prodding. If they'd gone public, she could have lived a half-way normal life as a celebrity like Baby Diego. But Theo delivers her into the hands of a secretive organization with a hazy agenda whose best method of getting the most important person alive out of the UK was "walk her thru a civil war and put her in a row boat. Don't be late. We're not waiting."
However, my biggest problem is still with Theo. Redxavier credits him with acting to escape the farm, but he does so ONLY because he finds they're going to kill him and use the girl for political purposes. The only things he does that aren't driven by money or survival are staying with Kee after the reveal in the barn and going after Kee when the bad guys snatch her in the refugee camp. In both cases, there is zero internal conflict—he has a miserable life and would have to be heartless to say no.
Worse, Theo is surrounded by a civil war and NEVER EVEN PICKS UP A WEAPON. He fails to get a bulletproof vest for Kee because he panics and flees instead of stripping Syd's body. He even fails to get SHOES even tho he has a car, money, and plenty of time before AND after going to Jasper's. He is a TERRIBLE HERO.
I've dropped another ha'penny in the collection plate. God bless us, every one.
