Last week's movie was 9, which I'll get to in a moment. But first: The longest movie in the history of time itself. Nope, not just in the history of movies, in the history of all time. Or so it seemed.
I really have no idea why I put The Kite Runner in my Netflix queue. I suppose it must have seemed interesting, and some bits of it were, but mostly it was a long, long movie featuring an unlikable character in an unlikable setting with nothing but subtitles for nearly the whole unbelievable thing.
I'll put the plot behind a cut for spoilers... and the cut text will make this movie seem rather different than it really was. ( Would YOU let your sex slave have a weapon? )
It wouldn't have seemed so long if not for the subtitles. I couldn't hardly multitask, because I couldn't look away from the TV. Anytime I wanted to do anything else, I had to pause it.
Ah well! Last week's 9 was a million times better. I wish I had written about it last week, because then I could say more than "I really liked it!". I have no idea how I hadn't heard of this movie until I saw it on Netflix. It was so dark and yet so pretty! The story was amazing and the animation was just as good.
