I just saw “How to Train Your Dragon” for the first time last night on HBOHD. Suffice to say that i was blown away :P The story, The characters, action and flight scenes were like nothing But when i saw this film, seeing how ‘Toothless and Hiccup’ got on together, thier chemistry: along with the other young dragons and thier riders, the idea of a dragonrider did not offend me as it once did.They seemed to belong together.Like the sun and moon, earth and sky, parent and child.Someone at Metaphilm should write an essay about this movie.For i felt that it really did have some very powerful themes about the individual and the group, status quo vs change, courage vs fear, faith vs doubt.I think the goddess Artemis would be very proud of Hiccup.In a way he sort of reminded me of a hybrid of Tony Stark and The Beastmaster ;) This may be a modern day tale but it is worthy to be in the ranks of stories of legend.I would go as far as to say that school children grades 1-5 should be required to watch it in school and discuss it and perhaps write a report about it.The Illiad is for grown ups. How to Train Your Dragon, is for children of all ages ^_^
