Heed the Warning Bell...

I saw M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village today. It was pretty cool on the whole. I know it was meant more as a psychological thriller than monster horror movie, but it still scared me in places (although that was usually when big theatrical noises appeared unexpectedly. They always get me >.>). I thought it was well-presented, and the ideas in it were good. I can't explain a huge amount more without going into spoilers, which I shall do by turning my text black. Mwaha.

The idea that people could create a completely isolated community was... a little far-fetched to me, but I guess that wasn't entirely the point. The film made an interesting debate about the evils of money and trying to shy away from them. I think it's pretty much inevitable that some sort of crime would be committed within the community anyway, even without money. Hatred has many factors, and money isn't the root of all evil. It's just a major player.

The whole 'creatures in the woods' front was a good twist, and reminded me a lot of Little Red Riding Hood. I was a little disappointed that they weren't real, and nor were they big wolves. They were big ugly boar costumes.

But wouldn't the villagers have gotten suspicious that the Elders weren't around whenever the creatures appeared? And what would they do for wood if one of their houses fell foul of woodrot? The only way they could get it would be through crossing the border and chopping down trees. There weren't any within the village itself, and yet they still had firewood supplies being brought in. Silly people...

I would go on more, but I can't organise my thoughts enough to create the kind of things I was hoping to talk about -_-. Ah well.

The acting was good, and I liked the girl who played Ivy (I can't remember her name...). Joaquin Phoenix still looks kind of strange, though. Like Seann William Scott with the wierdish 'charming endearment' sucked out of him.

Oh, I remember what i was going to talk about now. It'll have to wait until tomorrow though, heh. It's probably slightly more interesting, and with any luck I'll be writing it when I'm in a better mood for doing so. Right now I'm concerned about a wasps' nest that's been created in the attic right above the corner of my room. I've checked for areas that they might get in through, but I don't want to be forcibly evicted by bastards that shouldn't be there in the first place. Much less ones that require the spraying of vicious chemicals to get rid of.

Bleh, I hate wasps.
