I
remember the first time I wanted to see this movie
was because I thought it was funny, seeing a drunk
and reckless superhero on the big screen could be
loads of fun. And then when I got sick and was in the
hospital receiving medical treatments, the idea of
seeing this movie kind of evolved and became one of
the items that eventually showed up in my little wish
list of things to do with my girlfriend before she
was heading for Canada, but we never really had that
opportunity to see it. So after she was left, I was
still pretty determined to complete the wish list
without her. Obviously not every item in that list
can be checked without her presence, but this one was
one of the few possible ones, so I was still kind of
keeping an eye out for this particular movie. and
there’s even been an occasion where I almost
got into the theater with a friend, but again we
missed it by just a matter of minutes. Finally today,
on a lazy weekend afternoon, I got my hands on a DVD
Rip and was able to kick back and for the first time
in a long time, spent the full length of the movie in
front of the screen, undisturbed. And boy I was
sneezing! (You wouldn’t know what I mean by
sneezing unless you’ve seen the movie. A little
tip would be try to look for your clue in the 54th
minute of the movie run time, don’t worry, you
wouldn’t miss it.) I don’t wanna put any
spoiler in here incase you haven’t seen the
film, but I would say, a big part of this movie
wasn’t about showing the world how tough and
sexy a superhero could be, and instead it was about
so many little things that bothers us normal guys in
our shitty everyday life. Things like finding out who
we are, what we care about, who we love and sometimes
even make sacrifices for the people we love. After
all, a superhero is still an emotionally enabled
human being. So this is Hancock, check out the movie
for yourself if you haven’t, I definitely
recommend it. In the meantime, you guys have a lovely
weekend.
