I watched a movie recently that was interesting and profound, expecially after hanging out with ya'll on this forum... Its called "THE NINES" ...Its slow and mysterious and strange/simple-just to let you know. Its really three short movies with the same actors. By the third one it really got interesting and puzzeling then with a twist it all made sense in an energetic forum sort of way....I hadnt heard of it before (video only release?) so i figured Id plug it...OH! and there is a short in the extras that is hillarious...a must see!! its called "god" . Ten minutes of Joy!
Thennnn...of the more popular theres STARDUST (a quest to find a fallen star with pretty-ugly witches, peasants in love, kings sons vying for the throne, Lightning catcher sky pirates, and goatpeople! )
Annnnd of course The GOLDEN COMPASS ...( for me, a profound metaphore of childhood and education and Spirit guides ect.....Lots of talking animals but not too cheesy...a good balance with humans. A bit gratuitus with the violence a couple times-a bit detailed with CGI polar bears fighting-"now really did we need to see that?" not good for the little ones probably??? ...a bit of lion witch and wardrobe with a dash of the matrix and a sprig of harry p with a frodo chaser ....Id say the best visuals since the lord of the rings!
Both were very Britishy if not really British and old worldly. Myth, symbols and Archtypes galore!!!!
