Baa Ram Ewe

WARNING: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS BABE SPOILER

Family movie night consisted of our little crew gathered on the couch for Babe. This film is a masterpiece. It brings out the child in me and never fails to remind me that this world is for those who trust each other and those not afraid to be different. I know this is such a tired theme in the movies, and part of me always hopes to see a woman with a prosthetic leg/machine gun just start blasting away...

But the tired old theme is not in the hands of the usual Hollywood hacks...it becomes poetry in this touching story about the trust between a farmer and a pig.
