Where was shaun?

At 10.30 last might I was cleaning a dvd with a banana! I was desperate to get it working again using this remedy as we were enjoying the film so much it was driving us crazy as it kept jumping and pausing and it worked!

The film was far better than we expected, I had read that it was dead gory and violent and it was (but not too bad). The production is amazing with such attention to detail when they recreate the mayan society.The casting as also excellent, the warriors look really scary and the lead role “jaguar paw” is played by Rudy Youngblood who is perfect for the role.

One of my favourite scenes in the film is when the whole village is relaxing around a camp fire and an old man tells the following story:

“And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, “We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it.” The Man said, “I want to have good sight.” The vulture replied, “You shall have mine.” The Man said, “I want to be strong.” The jaguar said, “You shall be strong like me.” Then the Man said, “I long to know the secrets of the earth.” The serpent replied, “I will show them to you.” And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, “Now the Man knows much, he’ll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid.” The deer said, “The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop.” But the owl replied, “No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, ‘I am no more and I have nothing left to give.’”

Makes you think doesn’t it?

This film is top entertainment, funny, sad and dead tense.

9/10
