Something tells me I should not post on this subject..... ah well, with something nice in hand to drink herewith. Took my socialist/liberal spouse to see this movie a few days ago. Ok, I really do not like to sit confined in a movie theatre. I will say "Gangs of New York" had me enthralled from a historical angle.

The space ship has crashed and only two survive. The scenes between the father and son to me did seem a little long and protracted. The incredible horror of the vicious wild life that proliferated on our beautiful earth was repeated very often. One has seen scenes like this many, many times on horror movies. The mountain lions and orangutans with some sort of creepy crawly abomination of a prehistoric beast were technically very well done. Of course, they were after a 14 year old lad, who had to beat his way through sixty miles through a now primordial forest. He had to get a special device that would signal to the planet occupied by humans. They would rescue father and son from our once beautiful earth. The forest scenes were very good here. Nature rules.

Somehow when I chance see old films of Sydney Portier and Harry Belafonte, I turn off the T/V. These men are racialists and some might say racists. I cannot object to Will Smith, but perhaps I am missing something. My main criticism of this 1 hour 43 minute film is that the scenes seemed far too long in the interaction between father and son.

Crap is Brown. I don’t like crap. Thus I’m a racist.
