By “cartoon” do you really just mean animated? Not synonymous.

No spoilers.

Saw the new Caviezel movie, Sound Of Freedom, today with Mrs M.

Writing, cinematography, and score are all excellent. The acting was solid and compelling all around. Small supporting roles combined admirably to help flesh out the story and add an additional layer of depth to the main characters.

Because he’s not in very many films, I’d forgotten what a fine actor Caviezel is. There’s also a very nice brief, but necessary role, for Mira Scorvino. She played a similar role as Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain’s wife in Gods And Generals.

It’s not a film that can be easily labeled. Conservative, liberal, or religious hardly apply. [Full disclosure-I am a conservative Christian. I feared, and partly expected a rather cheesy pablum “Christian” film perhaps carried by a known star and the controversial subject matter. I was totally wrong. I am still rather shocked at how good it is. Like I say Full disclosure.]

The film is often uplifting, harrowing at times, and heartbreaking in others. It’s strong subject matter so be forewarned. Bring wives and appropriately aged children with caution. Be circumspect.

With those caveats, I heartily recommend it without reservation.

quote:

A buddy of mine attended a talk by some studio guy. As he put it: "nobody knows what will work, but everybody knows what has worked."


There was an interview with Spielberg and someone else, maybe Lucas I think, several years ago where they said this would happen because of budget bloat.

A studio will gamble and experiment when the budgets were $15 million, but not $150 million.

Same thing has happened in video games as well. Triple A gaming is very stale and there's not a lot of creativity or risk taking just because product budgets are insanely high now and can also take 5+ years.
