Mission Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I got this through NF recently. I enjoyed it and thought some of the extras were decent. It was an interesting dilemma for the captain and, in a broader sense, a rather curious commentary on society. (I think I came away with a different view than the movie suggested.) But it makes you think...that's a good movie for ya'. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pew Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Interesting. Several of my students are reading this for their senior literary criticism paper. Bonus points for movie criticism . . . , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."
