87. I don't like morals or messages in movies, I like to be transported away
I want escapism and don't want to be reminded that I'm watching a movie. That happens when i'm jolted out of it by some maudlin Spielbergian technique or paint by the numbers plot that is figured out in the first 5 minutes.
Wizard of Oz bores me because I've seen it dozens of times under schoolroom circumstances. I like the original novels and there's some hilarious work in the movie that I can appreciate...
I like the moral weight of the Lollipop Guild. I enjoy the moral clarity of flying monkeys.
