This is funny, I was invited to see a screening of WILD so Im sitting there with my friend and a guy a few rows down explains to girls hes with how the film we are about to see is based on a Broadway musical. I laugh loudly hearing this, thinkin, man, is he pullin their leg in a pretty silly way. Chick hiking alone in the forest with dancing singing trees -- sure... So then the film starts and suddenly there is the Magic Kingdom Castle... I get confused & I am having Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom flashback - but there is the whole Disney opening deal & I know there are no previews at these screenings... next thing I know a very Sweeney Todd Little Red Riding Hood is on screen... AHHH... Wild, Woods, easy mistake. MISTAKE! I have signed up to see INTO THE WOODS! Ok, chill, Ill go with this. (Not gonna go into a full on review, but stayin on the Wild / Wood mix up.) Ok, so in this flick there is Meryl Streep tearin it up with her daughter Rapunzel to whom she sings the song, Stay with me : “The world is dark and wild. Stay a child while you can be a child.” Ok, so in the film I thought I was seeing, WILD, there is a daughter leaving the world to go into the woods, into the wild to get over a mother who left her too soon. Instead I saw a film where a mother keeps her daughter locked in the woods because it’s too wild in the world & she is not ready for her daughter to leave her. In the end both mother’s are dead. Both daughters get over it. So what is the happy medium? SELMA. Well, that’s what I see tonight. About how in the woods we still are, how lost... even still.... how we are still in the wild. Like we are motherless... selmamovie/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAn9-kBRDloNeUw7Pe_YwBEiQA4HXMU0XNN1E9ky5JZZFQy9wafI1PUc6DuEtyGckOsJWNeREaAgQR8P8HAQ
