Hello everyone,

I went to see “The Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” last night. I was super excited about see the movie, hearing many good things about the book.

I really enjoyed seeing the movie. Based purely on the symbolism, the movie was perfect. The movie is full of different symbols. Now I know most movies are, but this move did more than the standard. The characters themselves were symbols by their names, and how they were designed. It doesn’t stop there, the symbols were shown in the backgrounds and how the scenes were presented.

The story is somewhat predictable, some things were easily foreseen. However, one commonly used themes were intertwined was quite unique. I can say I was highly entertained from beginning to end. The movie also was left open for a sequel. I hope it doesn’t have a sequel, but I know it will.

This movie had many different morals presented throughout the story. The first is that the line separating good and evil is a thin one. Common and shared experiences can had different and vast impacts on the people involved. The next is that conflict is not a beautiful art, and that doesn’t just apply to war or combat. Usually the winning side is paraded in stories, but no one included the great sacrifices and scares needed to win. The last is morale is that dreams are at the core of who we are. A person without dreams has lost hope and faith, the person who keeps their dreams is strong and able to push the boundaries.

Overall I give “The Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” 4 out of 5. It was well worth the watch and I may get it on DVD.

Thanks for reading,
