When reality -and not a cute tap-dancing penguin- is disturbing

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 2007)

When you see a number of messages in the discussion board asserting on that direction, you start wondering if being gay is the only way for an individual to differentiate from the rest. Each person is different on a simple basis and should be encouraged to follow the natural drives of his own.
Happy Feet gets right on the money when it comes to tolerance -which is not to be disposed of for the sake of a single group in particular but for everyone's, whereas some threads on the Happy Feet's forum evince, in a nearly startling manner, how much we lack it- and the necessity of putting both melody and rhythm together to create music -this resulting, IMO, in harmonious co-existence instead of perversion-. Moreover, this movie stands for the ones whose parents -to name only a pattern we keep seeing all over the world- made a hardship of their struggle to gain a position in life as musicians, artists, or even ball players since kids -these kinds of parent would say- had better attend a School of Law: all the ones who had to put up with frustration over quite a few years due to whatever society may believe is best for us could have found themselves depicted or reflected in Happy Feet. Not everyone was born to join a firm but to take a different call instead, however admitting that it also might work the other way around.
Anyway, Happy Feet has achieved its goal by bringing the tolerance topic on the spot. Trying to make up people's mind that Happy Feet is apologetic of homosexuality -as if a homosexual, or a Jew, or a Muslim, or a Negro, or a Latino, or anyone else who doesn't pace along with the mainstreaming majority were THE problem itself, as some may make us believe by means of an actually discriminatory and manipulative framework- is no less than an evil attempt to misleadingly simplify a yet deeper and still current issue.
