It left me thinking. (spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2004)

I would have to say that I enjoyed this movie very much. I did not go into this movie thinking it was going to be scary. Signs wasn't scary. MNS's movies are about expecting the unexpected and looking deeper into something. Not just seeing what was on the outside. For example, in the village, the elders had come together to find 'innocence'. They all had a tragic loss and wanted to escape society as they knew it and live a more simple life. For their own protection they created the creatures in the woods to protect themselves from the evils of todays world (so they thought). As it turns out there is no way to escape human nature. So do you hide and try to protect those around you from harm or do you give in and except that there are also good things that can come from industry, technology, science, and human kindness. It is all out there for the taking. It is a choice that is made whether we use it or not. I thought that Adrian Brody did a great job. How much did Noah know about the goings on in the village? What about his excitement when the creatures came around? And the next generation, will they continue as the elders did? I thought that the movie was VERY entertaining and fun. I walked out thinking and wondering, what would I do if I had all the money in the world? What would I do to protect the friends and family that I love? MNS was trying to do more than just scare you, he was trying to make you think.
