Today’s topic… Drum roll please… Rango, yes the
animation with the funny looking chameleon that has no idée how to camouflage himself
in the desert. So how much can one say about a silly little movie with a few
outrageous looking critters, well, actually quite a lot.
Firstly, total fucking brilliance, the reference to
the Gonzo king is most probably the influence of master Depp himself and it
took me right into the graze of fear and loathing. The poor old chameleon had
no idée whether he was coming or going and like in the writings of Hunter S.
Thompson, it almost felt like the desert was about to destroy the little man. It
is truly amazing that the animation can round up this astonishing amount of
intricacy. I think its dam smart, capture the kids with creatures and lure the
intellectuals with a great textual base, a recipe for success. The intriguing Spirit of the West, wise as always,
certainly gave the movie the twist it needed with the fiery-eyed hell dweller
waiting for his moment to unleash hell on the world. However, as always, the
hero came out on top. With a little spiritual help and the love of a certain damsel
in distress, Rango managed to out-smart all the evil lurking in their midst.
As it is with our daily struggle between good and
evil Rango rolled up his sleeves and stared evil right in the eye, gave him the
finger and became the hero the people of Dirt needed. A true hero, in my mind,
strays from his path from time to time but never gives up on what he believes
in. Even though Rango is just a mere fictional character, he for some reason
conjures hope to the hopeless. We need people that will find the courage to
fill the shoes of giants.
We need a little critter called Rango!
