Deconstructing Hop

[skogkatt]

After I posted about Hop last week, my friend Kayleigh (you may remember her as my partner in snow squid construction) said she'd go with me. So. I've seen Hop, and Internets, it was far weirder than I expected. Because I am a giant nerd, I spent the flight from Boston to San Francisco yesterday trying to unpack the tangled gender/class/race

Ohhh my. Thank you for the writeup, I think I enjoyed it more than I'd have enjoyed the movie!

[asakiyume]

LOL, right? That was my reaction. I loved the write-up, but the movie? Eeeep!

[skogkatt]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for reading! *g*

[asakiyume]

Your write-up is a riot--I enjoyed it tremendously :D

(Much, much, MUCH more than I'd enjoy the movie--I think the stuff you've alluded to with humor would get my goat so bad that ... I don't know, she'd stop giving milk?)

[skogkatt]

Hee to your goat metaphor! And yeah, there's a lot to be grumbly about in this, though, like I sadi, it did make me laugh.

[mariness]

You analyzed a movie that, by your own admission, features bunny rabbits riding segways.

I don't know whether to salute you or just roll on the floor helpless with laughter.

Hey, I said I was a giant nerd, didn't I? *g*

So, um, if this is the sneak sequel to X3 in which Phoenix sends Cyclops away to make him happy, what does that say about her relationship with Scott?

[skogkatt]

I believe the answer is: Phoenix wants him to be happy, but is also jealous and possessive and so she makes sure he's happy in a place where there are no women, and his closest relationship is with a CGI bunny.
