Beowolf

My parent's didn't like this film, my dad was having a discusion with someone about it, and I interrupted to point out that they were missing the point of the movie. I won't give it away, but they were talking about how different the real story is from what the movie is. After you see it you will know why that upset me.

I have always liked Historical fiction, but rued the fact that so many people never bother with learning the truth. Kinda like Mormonism. It is good to publicie stuff and pique interest, but then it is important to find the facts. I wrote a paper about the movie "Immortal beloved". I was really gladthat the writters weren't prone to asmany type errors as me. The film would've had whole new meaning as Beethoven's Immoral Beloved. For my Musicology class I wrote mostly about what a horrible job the movie Amadaues did to teach people about the composer. it made me want to know more and eventally study composition, but I recognied it was a good story, nothing more.

Late, I gave a speech in Oral Communications about him and shocked people with the facts, even my professor asked me if it was true. I gave her a few books as bibliography.

So, anyway, Beowolf was fiction, but it made me think alot so I gave it a thumbs up. It reminded me of my ancestors, poor souls. Mom and dad didn't like the nonsubtle references to Christ, not that they weren't subtle, but that they were obviously negative. I have always been impressed that people actually believed in the Norse gods like Thor and Odin. I read a book "Till they have faces" which was very good! it is about roman gods I think, Plus the crud, I can't remember the name of the place in Nashville that is a srine to Athena, a temple replica. It's really cool. they always havecool info in that place. I learned that they, whoever they are, had live aligators imported at the park for the worlds fai. BAD IDEA! They killed few people and were removed. What were they thinking? Maybe I should ask Dierks Bentley, huh?

oh, That was another thing. Beowolf was always making gutteral sounds like ' huh". "uh" or something. It made me wonder if it was scripted or just something the character did and they liked it. a guy at the theater said that the voice of Beowolf was a 70 Yr old guy, I'll tell you right now, it wasn't the body of a 70 Yr. old.

I am also a huge fan of anything to do with heroes or superpowers, which naturally bring God into the picture, like last night on Heroes, when Hiro had an epiphematic moment when his father was lecturing him about God's role in Fate. It was good cause I really was confused what the writters were going to do about adressing the multiple realities or timelines. After watching Stargate I wanted to become an astro physicist cause the figure out unbelievable things like in the movie "Contact". I enjoyed Beowolf, It was highly CGI'd at times it made you eel like you werewatching Shrek or something, but it's worth seeing. If you liked "Braveheart" You'll love it.
