Barnyard (2006)
Dumbing down our children
I went to see this movie. The first comments out of my mouth were, "Couldn't they have gotten this anatomically correct or are they just that stupid?" I was disturbed the ENTIRE time that there were male cows. I had a hard time getting into the plot because I couldn't get over seeing udders on what should have been bulls with NO udders. Male cattle are bulls and they don't have udders. There is enough ignorance in the world and especially in America without writers and directors and producers not taking the time or intelligence to think that what they are showing to the general public can actually affect them. How many little children that have never seen a real cow and will never grow up on a farm or near real cows will grow up believing that there are MALE COWS WITH UDDERS? Even the woman beside us turned to us and said she thought that the movie was disturbing showing male cattle as cows with udders instead of as bulls with no udders.
Like the comment before mine said, his/her children were mesmerized. Well a movie that can mesmerize can also teach and what are they teaching? They are teaching a new generation of children to be stupid. And to be drunks. I do agree with that person that it was unnecessary to show drunkenness as being fun. Don't we have enough problems with people destroying their lives with alcoholism and don't we have enough AAA members and homeless people who have ruined their lives and the lives of their families without trying to promote drunkenness as fun in cartoons for a new generation of children? How many lives of child actors and actresses have been destroyed because they viewed drugs and alcohol as a way to have fun?
Pride and Prejudice (2003)
Didn't like it.
I am LDS and found this movie to be offensive. THey seem to make villains out of and/or make look stupid the people who have real faith and attend church regularly. They made heroes out of the ones who rebelled against the teachings and didn't attend church regularly breaking the covenants they made at baptism and they glorified disobeying the commandments of the Lord making it seem fun to sin.
Having faith in the commandments and teachings of the Lord is not something that should be taken lightly or mocked. It isn't easy and it is even harder when you are a young impressionable teen and people make fun of you for it. This movie just shows how teens give in to peer pressure and seems to glorify giving in as okay.
