A Field Trip

I'm not really into animated films, but like Leeper said, "expand your interests", so last night was an opportunity I'm glad I've taken because we did see a great animated film called The Book of life. Yes a children's film so of course there is a happy ending and yes the moral of the story was to be yourself    and not someone you are not. But what I really liked about the film was the unique animation. The idea of the characters being dolls, the colors that corresponds so well with their scenery, the score and the architecture in the movie based on the ancient Myan aztecs culture... and the pig named Chewie that oddly sound like a sheep. But during the movie I found myself watching it as a simple viewer. Not actually looking at the film for what it has but what I see... If that made any sense. Okay probably not but in front of me was sitting Prof. Leeper. I couldn't help but to think during the whole movie, "what is he thinking? Does he like it? What does he look at while watching a film instead of 'watching a film'?"  Because you know, Leeper has the master-mind of film and animation and knows what it takes to become a successful film maker.
