Even Animals are Suffering

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2011)

Johnny Depp is one of the best actors in Hollywood and he doesn't disappoint in Rango. His voice for the main character who is a chameleon gives the perfect touch to a simple 'human' story. Yes, water is the most precious resource we have and it is being exploited by Governments, Politicians and even sometimes the Water Suppliers. Right here in Kenya, the Cities such as Nairobi and Mombasa have a reasonably steady supply of water but when it runs dry, it really does. Watching Rango unravel the mystery of the low supply and facing his inner doubts is exactly where most of us are at with such matters or simple things in life. It is hard to believe you can make anything happen, because you are 'somebody'. Hats off to the creators and technicians that make an expression of the eyes of chameleon or the rattlesnake send shivers down your spine. This is as real as it gets. For me, the message of water, self-confidence and a simple life is what Rango showed me. Friends can be earned and respected but greed will never pay for anything.
