Water Horse: The Legend of the Deep

I enjoyed this movie. I talked with Olivia on the way home about why I liked it, even though parts of it were sad and why sad movies can be OK. It touched on some themes that I think are important. It talked about the importance of wonder and faith, the belief in things that can't be seen or seem fantastical. I think that kind of thing is important. It talked about guns and war being a bad thing, and about how they can rip families apart. And it talked about how raising things and helping them grow often means letting them leave when they get older and stronger, a resonant note for a parent watching his child become more and more independent. So, some good themes touched on. I loved listening to the accents and so did Olivia. Having said all of that, I think there were some pieces that were left loose. I think the editing was poor. I feel like we jumped around in the story and some things were assumed that were never said or hinted at. But, even so, I would still call this one enjoyable and fun, even if it is sad at parts.
