Surfwise (2007)
Bluesdoctor has it right
Bluesdoctor said it all. He is the only one not to be mesmerized by the movie and sees the good doctor for what he is. Too bad the others are so taken by the dream of a lifetime of surfing that they cannot see how the lives of his children were ruined by his narcissism and selfishness. I never met Dr.Paskowitz. However,I am a surfer. Many of my friends and a few of my sons have met him. I have 7 children and they are all surfers also. I'm a doctor too but I have spent my life working for the poor and disadvantaged. My kids are well adjusted and happy even thought they have to work like the rest of us. We surf as much as we can but we have another life also. I guess that it's too late for Dr.Paskowitz to try it. I am surprised by some of his statements because he doesn't seem like a scientist and we doctors need to be scientists as well as healer. He should have remembered the old adage, "Physician,heal thyself."
Into the Wild (2007)
Bad flick about a bad life
I don't understand why people liked this film so much. The scenery was beautiful but the rest of the movie stinks. The music was so loud that every time it came on you had to put your fingers in your ears to keep from being blown away. The people that the young man met were adorable but he was insufferable. Sean Penn tried to justify his behavior by describing a bad childhood but that is no excuse for his stupid behavior. If he really needed love, it was offered to him time and again but he thrust it away. To go into the wilderness of Alaska with no wilderness training or equipment was unforgivable as he found out. No one with any backpacking experience would have ventured out on such a trip as badly prepared. Death awaits anyone who steps out on such a foolhardy adventure. His many tirades describing why he did what he did made no sense either.
