Very Interesting

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

I read some of the reviews people have posted and I am surprised. It amazes me how shallow some of these reviews are. You cannot say that a movie was bad simply because the twist was predictable or because it was not as good as a previous movie from the same director/writer. I think The Village was a fairly good movie and I know that because I saw it this morning and now, late at night, I still have it in my head and I am thinking about it. I think the story is solid, the acting is very good, and the twist is fairly decent. But the movie is much deeper than that. Without giving out much I will say that it analyzes the power of suggestion, organized religion, fear as a way to control people, and our society in general. All of these themes are much deeper than just a "cool twist".
