Kiddie movies
This is about movies for kids like Home Alone and animated movies.
I love such movies. It is quite simple to follow the plot - Lord Emsworth of Blandings would not loose the thread. Absolutely ridiculous things happen and everything is accepted. There is not gross violence. See - so many good things.
But in spite of this I remain, among the group of my other gradus friends, one of the very few who accept liking such movies. The people who don’t like, or say they don’t like, these movies think it is not fitting for an adult to like such movies. I contest this on two points. One - I am not an adult - I am still a kid because I sure do want to exploit the privileges that kids get. But secondly, and more serious point, what’s wrong about adults seeing kids movies? It is never bad to be reminded of how things should be. Now I accept that the world will never be the way it is in these movies, but something that cuts across the layers of cynicism and practicality that we have around us, once in a way is, in the word of Bat Jarvis, "Its to da goot".
Anyway, as a test, we screened three of the best movies in this genre and everyone who watched them, including the hard -core-dont-like-kiddie-movie contingent cried. See - all their talk was nothing but superheated air.
