Fantasy and the art of animalove

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2016)

This is one of my favorite movies that I have watched this year. The setting of the movie is reminiscent of London in an old style. I felt that the movie suggested that some hidden problems in society are better to be left to the elite away from the laymen whom it's better for them to be obliviated. Whether this is a true or false is a matter of personal choice. In other words, the movie depicted a world that has an alternative world where a group of people have more power, secrets, wisdom and transcendence. A world that is so centralized to the extent that the government, the people are to accept the wisdom of the Group who has the power. This rhetoric repeats over and over in many other movies where few govern many because the many are helpless in facing problems bigger than them unlike the few who are surrounded by mystics and mysteries. This leaves us with the question: do we need magicians so we can breed and tame these fantastic beasts? some questions will have to wait.
