Film screening 1

I am not exactly sure of what consist or qualifies as a film screening, but I was able to attend a couple of movies with my daughter over the weekend. The first one that we saw was the movie Ice Land 3. As we all know, this movie was directed towards little children but also tires to add some adult humor to the movie in an attempt to keep the adult entertained through the animated movie. What is interesting though is that often the adult humor can be crude in nature and often deals with matters of sex. To me, adding sexual undertones to a movie to attract an adult to see a Childs movie just seems contradictory to the fact that this is suppose to be a family orientated movie. Has it now gotten to the point were a family movie refers to the idea that it entertains all individuals in the family by use of adult humor with animated characters that children see as funny. What does this reflect about our own culture? Can we not sit through one movie, even a child’s movie without any reference to sex? Anyways, getting off that topic the movie was definitely enjoyable for my daughter. She did not want to take her eyes off the film and seemed to laugh through the entire movie. To me, it was not as enjoyable as it was to my daughter. I like to take things more literally and scientifically analyze situations in movies as to the possibility of it being able to occur. Therefore, I had a hard time buying the idea of a dinosaur world existing underneath the ice world. The movie also portrays different views of a family. It portrays the animals as a dysfunctional family made up of all kinds of different animals, mostly of which are of the male sex. Lately, it seems like children movies are even more so trying to force new ideas and views onto children, such as the environmental views from the movie Wallie. They are using these movies to rise a so-called tolerable and responsible generation, a generation that is environmentally green and is tolerable towards the homosexual family.
