Red Riding Hood

i just finished watching Red Riding Hood. It was pretty much what i expected, which is what you say? Well.... Ok i didn't know much about this movie, which is weird for me. Usually i don't watch a movie unless i know the general story line. Anyway, i had only seen one preview for this movie, but i decided to watch it anyways. From that one preview i guessed that the story would be very much a fairy tale, a romanticised version of the little red riding hood story. Lots of fantasy, lots of dramatic camera shots. Very cool costumes. And that was pretty much what this movie was like. i enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, it's a very interesting twist on a rather boring tale. i just wasn't in the mood for a romantic, dramatic movie. Plus it was too romantic. People don't actually go after love like that. People settle for far less than true love, they don't endure as much as Valerie and Peter do. In real life Valerie would have married Henry and Peter wouldn't have tried as hard to stop it. Sorry, this is a person pet peeve of mine. i really hate movies that display love in this way, because it's so inaccurate. Sorry, back to the review. It's a well-made movie, and a pretty captivating story. i especially liked how they showed that the desire for money is what caused so many deaths. i thought that was an appropriate touch. i recommend it. (Unless you're like me and really hate movies that show love this way)
