Mar. 28, 2007 - Happy Feet, the movie - what do you think? |
I wanted to have a place to open up a discussion about this movie since I spoke with my dear friend and she didn't think the way I did. Here's how I felt and what I posted in my ezine.
I almost took my grandchildren to the movie Happy Feet. For whatever reason we couldn't go and I am SO HAPPY about that! I watched it with my 16 and 19 yr old kids last night and oye vey it's full of sexual inuendos. Now of course my teens laughed, but even my 16 yr old was a bit floored that the press on it made it seem like a little kid movie. It felt like it was a lot about sex with a little bit about the environment and a little about how it's okay to be different.
Now please be gentle and don't crucify me but I see this in a black and white fashion and it was brought to my attention that there could be some gray areas. That doesn't mean I'll change my mind and let my grandchildren watch it. But I'll know more about what you think, how you feel, and what you want to hear from our ezine.
Blessings and Peace,
Susie

| My children ages 5 and 8 will NOT be seeing this movie. The previews alone told me that it had way to much sexuality in it. I also read in some reviews that it in a round about, suggestive way makes fun of religon. Once I watched it, alone, I decided they were right. I was dissapointed, my 5 yo loves penguins and it "looked" like a cute movie. |

I wanted to stop be and say that I was reading your post and wanted to say that I totally agree with you. I have watched it like a thousand times and at first never saw nothing wrong with it. When the songs would come on, I would put our surround sound on as loud as it could go and would dance with my kids. My mom is the one who told me bout your entry and asked me bout it and told her that there's nothing wrong with it. I went and did a little checking on a web page http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/reviews/2006/happyfeet.html and had a different approach. I watched it over again and was oh my I let my children watch it. This is one movie that I bought and is going in the trash.
I want to thank you for posting your entry. |
