Double Feature

After class yesterday, a couple of the guys and I went to the movies. The movie we were planning on seeing was sold out for the showtime we wanted, so we decided to do a Double Feature. I consider it training for Sundance. Here's the movies and my thoughts (not a review, just my silly ponderings)

DREAMGIRLS - Thank you for making Detroit look good! (Okay, so there were the riots and the ghost town-ness of it today, but it still brought to surface all my love for that city.) The beautiful architecture, the characters, the passion for the arts, this is the Detroit I love! (Of course there's also the swindlers, the sellouts...hell, today I love them too...but don't ask me tomorrow)

CHILDREN OF MEN - Like 28 Days Later, without the zombies. Of course I also went to the whole spiritual/philosophical meaning of everything...like baby Jesus...I mean Dylan...To me, it showed how it's human nature to turn a non-political figure (uh...a non-partisian BABY) into a political hero/enemy/commidity, but just 'cause it's nature doesn't make it right... the world needs hope not a political agenda.
