Dominic on Napoleon Dynamite
I would like to take the time to post something a friend of mine wrote concerning the movie Napoleon Dynamite. I just can't enough good things about that movie, and Dominic really struck home with this really pithy bit o' prose. I agree with him totally.
"It championed the unlovely and unloved, always making a point to show how ordinary people can do great things for each other. It showed all of the cool and fun things that the simple bond of friendship can bring and it made that the focus of the film. Some people would call that "nothing". I think its something great that ought to be emphasized more in today's pop culture of superficiality. NP dealt a blow to pop culture and stupid teenage movies by showing that you don't need the uber-cool clothes or looks to be cool or to have fun. And, it showed that you can make a teen movie without loads of profanity, sex, and cheesy cliches."
