Way too late to write this tonight, so be sure to tune in tomorrow sometime–I don’t know when, Monday is errand day–because we’ve watched all the Jurassic World movies, all three… and they have suddenly shaped themselves into a parable.
Now watch, someone in another time zone will write it all up before I can–but that won’t make it any less a parable.
Even from crazy movies, we can learn.
What do people “know” because they saw it in a movie?
Well, they think they know J.R.R. Tolkien’s story of The Hobbit. But in fact, they don’t.
Had Tolkien been alive when the movie-makers began their assassination of his story, he would have objected strenuously and probably sued them. That bit about the Dwarf and the Invincible Female Elf-Warrior falling passionately in love–that might’ve killed him on the spot. Life is hardly worth living anymore, if they can make up such a monstrosity and successfully blame it on you.
But if you think you’re learning anything from movies–well, you’re not. Not by a long shot.
