Seen at Powell’s Books in Portland.
Heather and I went to see Hidalgo last night. I found it to be an unremarkable film based upon an interesting story. The motivation of the protagonist is never fleshed out clearly and instead we are left to watch an adoption of the plot of Rocky IV set in the 1890′s. Viggo bests the Arab culture with his will and determination just like how Rocky single handedly beat the Soviets. Watching it unfold on screen was equally absurd this time around.
