Duhe's Horton Hears a Who

Photobucket

Horton hears a who was one of the best animated films I have seen in a good while. The not so subtle undertones of this film serves the purpose of reinforcing the rather serious concepts the film is based on. A large focus of the political message of this film is one of the "Big Brother" crisis being pointed out around our country. At what point does the opinion of the leaders surpass the opinions of the individual. If we believe something to be a truth (i.e Marijuana should be legal) then why does the opinions of our leaders preside over the opinions of the citizen? It doesn't and that that is the message this movie sends across. We should always question those that lead and order us and always fight for what we believe to be right regardless of authority. The themes and undertones were very complex and refreshing in the this film and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
