How Absurd!

What an absurd movie even for a fantasy! My cable service gave it only two stars out of a possible four. I don’t ordinarily watch two-star movies. The only reason I watched it was because I have the hots for Jessica Brown Findley. Whoever wrote and decided to make this movie must have come to that decision while being tripped out at a Hollywood LSD party. Some of the absurd things not pointed out by others: What kind of parents would cast their baby out on the ocean in a model boat and hope for it to be miraculously rescued like some kind of Moses? Then we have a low-life second story man who is sophisticated enough to interest a rich high society girl, talk like a well educated man, and know all of the modern dances? Anyone has complete access to the attic at Grand Central Station. And then we have the black devil. Give me a break!

Maybe you should not watch it a second time. Also, you might want to brush up on your vocabulary, in particular the word "fantasy." Also "movie." It doesn't have to make sense; it doesn't have to be logical. It's a story. Take what you like from it and leave the rest. But don't just throw away the whole thing because there are some aspects you don't agree with. That would be such a waste.

I LOVED this movie! I was a little confused at first and then just let it flow. COLIN FARRELL, BEAUTIFUL WHITE HORSE/ PEGASUS,BEAUTIFUL GIRL- what's not to like. My only problem with the movie is that I start crying at the beginning and that lasts till the end so I don't like to watch it with anyone, even my husband. He was watching some Hobbit trilogy and even the prospect of seeing Orlando Bloom with blond hair couldn't tear me away. I loved everything about this movie, the director, the music, the story, the actors, however I wish they hadn't cut Collins hair so soon. I would love to know how the book compares with the movie since there are not too many movies that improve on the original novel. However I am a Colin Farrel fan even if I can't spell his name yet and I love him in everything I've seen him in so far.
