so very wrong.......

went to the movies with my sis and her son and daughter-in-law. there are movies that are somewhat historical like a man for all seasons, one of my favorites. some use history as a starting point and then imagine the rest. some are for just entertainment, some for deep thought. and i have to admit i like almost all kinds of movies. on the bottom of my list, however; are the inane and sophomoric ones. sorry!

i don't know exactly where to to put 10,000 bc. the majority of the viewers seem to like it but it strikes me wrong in so many ways. each item by itself is not necessarily a big thing, but put all those little stickers together, and i am unaccountably fiery angry. it seems to want to be all racial inclusive....but the hero and heroine appear increasingly whiter during the movie while everyone else stays the same. and the trudge from siberia to the deserts of africa without aging one bit and returning with out becoming lost....first time journey for everyone....is incredulous, never mind everybody being so friendly like. it jumbles all sorts of folk tales and religious stories together with the finesse of an ax. it is just so wrong and so impossible. while some may be able to take it as just entertainment, all those little things just infuriate me.
