National Treasure

2004

Director: Jon Turteltaub

Screenplay: Jim Kouf, Cormac Wibberley, Marianne Wibberley


Not much I can think to say that hasn't probably been said about this movie. It's like a more 'meh' Indiana Jones with Uncharted vibes. Felt like the characters were pretty bland. There was some tension between Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) and his dad that felt under utilised. I probably would have liked it more if I watched it with friends.

"In order to catch a bug, I must think like a bug, become a bug!" That vaguely remembered The Simpsons show quote comes to mind as I begin this blog. I believe Homer's hired some guy to deal with a termite problem that his family, the titular Simpsons, are having. "I go by how funny the sign is" (A Bug's Death) Homer responds to Marge's query about why he hires such shitty tradesmen, as a reskinned background character gnaws on a wooden table imitating a bug. Point is I need to think like a "bug" before I can become one. "Bug" in this context being "storyteller" or something of that nature. I wanna watch lots o' movies so that I can get better makin' 'em I guess. The analogy doesn't really track but who cares it's my blogspot.

To kick things off, a double feature. Managed to knock two out by accident. Good Start.
