Knight Rider: Knight Rider (2008)
Revived legend - emotional desolation
Being also a fan from childhood I was happy to hear the legend was revived. The pilot of it was highly anticipated by me (and lots of others) and the only thing I hoped for was that it would be exciting as it was in the 80's. Now despite of all that negative comments on how it should be this and that, I loved it. Everybody whining about how bad it is and how much better the original show is... get a life. I mean come on it WAS great in those days and the trans-am WAS (and still is) a cool car but hey.. what do you want? also no dual or quad core computers and crappy graphics? It's nice and necessary to look back to the past but not to keep on living in it! This latest attempt to resurrect a legend is the best; remember the horrible knight 2000 for instance..?!! Is it so hard these days to give things a change? Forgotten the real history lessons?! Love it or hate it - watch or don't watch but let the new generation decide for itself if they like it or not! Do they like the old series better than the new one, and who are we to have that decided for them? At least I'm looking forward to the first season and than will decide if it's good or not. Not solely or entirely based on a 5 minute or 2 hour pilot!
A Dog of Flanders (1960)
Nice movie but sadly not the entire true story
I do know the true story so it lives me disappointed to see that most of the movies make it a happy end while it should be a very sad ending. The story should tell an other morality then that the romantic version does. But yes that is what we've come to expect from Hollywood productions. In the real story the boy Nello Dies with his Dog Patrasche in front of the painting they visited many times before since it provided them with hopes for life and his painting aspiration. They died in a cold and harsh time because of things like: no income (selling milk was made impossible since he was accused of setting fire to a mill), no food and no one who could or cared to help. So the lessons to be learned from this and similar stories remains merely an echo and are quickly forgotten. Like all the real important ones. Yes it's hard to deal with real live and to be confronted with the truth. But like once said; if we pretend to be searching for the truth we also should be ready to hear it or be willing to listen.
