Poor Ron You got that right, man...if you're talking about the end that is...that was mind breaking...tear drinking...knee buckling...MY GOD!! And i do agree the end was a little bit too long...all the clapping and slow scenes, and i don't see why Hermione had to get a grand entry when she got all fine whereas all the others just got a hello or just weren't noticed...well, she is one of the top roles, but so what...

Your father read them!" I'm disappointed in my Dad...he's 50+ and a prof. of Electrical Engineering...he usually doesn't go for the fantasy-type stuff...
duder Posted November 29, 2002 Posted November 29, 2002 CD, in this post modern world just about everything plays off of each other. Star Wars is itself a construct of various elements of other films and tv shows. Characters from Kurosawa films, music from Leone films, special effects from tv sci-fi shows, plots from just about any messiah/hero based narrative combined with recent history, Storm troopers/Nazis, The Emporer/Stalin or Hitler or any psychotic leader following a grand narrative (remember all the 'it is all going as I have forseen it' stuff - postmodernism rejects this). The Harry Potter books, as many people have pointed out, borrow off many esatblished fantasy/sci-fi books such as Lord of the Rings, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, so its no surprise that the film may itself become a pastiche of sci-fi/fantasy/horror/b-movies. The X-Files is a pastiche of horror and sci-fi b-movies with the occasional stroyline to maintain its fans commitment to it. The Matrix is also a pastiche of various films (the best being its recreation of Vertigo, running over the roof tops) with its own sense of style. I could go on but I'm sure you get the point.

I have never, nor want to see or read any of the Harry Potter books.

Crazy_dog no.3 Posted November 29, 2002 Author Posted November 29, 2002 OK I'll stop my rant. Now lets all get back to my DAd thread. It's far more interesting.
