Film Critique

1. The film takes place in either the present or the near future in an unnamed forest in an English speaking part of the world.  A girl is visiting to father in order to make amends after some kind of split happened in the family.  Her father is apparently obsessing over a society of tiny people who live in the forest.  She thinks he's crazy, runs away, and comes into the middle of a ceremony of the tiny people and apparently by accident is shrunk.  From their she joins up with some of the "Leaf Men" as apparently some of them are called, and goes on a quest to save the forest.

2. The main themes of the play are Life versus Death, and Good versus Evil.

3. The movie is very cool.  The screenplay was very good although in some parts it was kind of corny.  The problem about the movie is how well off the bad guys were, but instead of accomplishing their goals in the long term, they stupidly went for hard to accomplish short term goals that were bad for basically every reason.  It had lots of symbolism, unfortunately, this movie would have been much better had the bad guys won, which they should have.

4. THE BAD GUYS WERE WEAK! They were very predictible and stupid.  This film had even more potential had it been made PG13 and had a sequel.
