Horton Hears a 'Boo'?
How many times have you asked yourself, when reading a newspaper headline, "What were they thinking?" Sure Gov. Eliot Spitzer's head-scratching admission to patronizing a prostitute elicited the most furrowed brows this week, but it was TMZ.com's report of pro-life...
Awesome movie!
What more can they do to alienate the very people they hope to influence? It is further proof that these folks in particular are working off the adrenaline of emotion and not snapping the synapses of their logic sections.
What a shame that the pro-lifers can't do their "protesting" in a much more appropriate setting...not outside a children's movie. They don't help their cause at all! Who the heck is leading that movement anyhow? Whoever it is...has NO regard for the children that are here by thinking they can make a point for their cause by being so insensitive.
First,this was an inappropiate venue for a protest.
We want to bring people around, not alienate them.
Until the mindset of people change about the worth of all life,no matter how small,it only makes those who don't care even more hardened in their hearts.
Pray for our country.
What were these people thinking?? Having revenge on an author or his widow, for their beliefs, is going very low on the scale especially at a premiere of a family movie with many children in the audience. Shame on the "right to life" movement!!! I hope this brings much adverse
publicity for their cause!!
I found this movie thoroughly entertaining for me and my daughters (7&10). I left the theater feeling as uplifted as I do after church. Without reading any reviews prior to going ( and really only choosing this movie because my 7 yr old loves elephants!!), I received a deep spiritual message and couldn't wait to see if my daughter's felt the message speaking to their hearts. I felt the analogy of us all being mere 'specks' in the world God has created just like the Who's were just a speck in Horton's world. I even formed a relationship between Horton and my Lord and Savior. Just as Jesus came to earth to save us and suffered persecution, so did Horton (in a much simpler way) serve as a 'savior' for Whoville. My 10 yr old even saw a correlation between the big, black bird and Satan! My only objection to the movie was baby kangaroo's defiance to the mother kangaroo by saying "no" to her. I would have liked to have heard something like, " mom, let's make the right choice". Overall, I loved this movie (enough to type all of this--which I never usually post comments!) God bless all who are reading this!!
