Into the Forest discussion

Has anyone else seen Mirror, Mirror yet?

Plan to go this coming weekend.

I want to see it is it good

I enjoyed it. It is silly, but it is silly in a way that knows it is silly. If that makes sense.

yah it does
but was it so silly that it was stupid or just silly

It was just silly, as in you go on and laugh where you should laugh.

ahhh i cant wait to see it

works for me! :)

Stay for the credits, cause there's this bollywood number.

Thanks for the tip. We tend to sit through the credits just for the "surprises" at the end.

I do to

I saw it yesterday and did a short movie review blog on this one (safe to read, no spoilers in it).

Nice review. I'll definitely watch this when it is released on dvd.

I recently saw another review (from one of the links posted under the fairy tale website folder in this group).

It was SO different and intriguing from anything else I've heard about this movie (and speaks a bit to the director's influence on the movie, who is Indian), that I've added the link below.

Definitely worth a look see.

Very interesting, and rather unexpected for a "kid's" movie. I don't know anything about Sikh theology, and sadly little about Indian politics. Does he make a valid point?

I too wish I knew if he makes a valid point or not, but unfortunately I'm as much in the dark about Sikh theology as you.

It did make for an interesting take.

That's definitely interesting about the Sikh theology. Thanks for the links. I'm not sure there's a point to make. In a silly (albeit decently done) family comedy, what obscure political message about a foreign country can be hoped for? Seems a little self indulgent to me if that was the attempt. Does Sikh explain the "magic mirror" scenes of walking through and rising up on that waterscape? The hut-on-a-dock looked southeast Asian to me. Oddly distracting to me.

Well, now the movie is a bit more interesting, at least. It does seem an odd vehicle to make any sort of political statement, especially about something that the target audience is generally uninformed about.

I really liked it I thought it was funny & I loved seeing Snow White play the hero
