Night Watch

Night Watch kept my attention very well. It definitely was a bigger budget film than probably any of the other movies that we watched this term. It was definitely more of an entertainment film. The fight between the light and dark is a pretty common theme in movies. This movie reminded me very much of the movies that we have like Star Wars. It also had kind of a Lord of the Rings feeling to it. These movies are fun to watch but you also get kind of tired of seeing the same things over and over in movies. It was nice, in a wierd way, to see the kid choose the dark side. The father didn't know that it was his son until the end. When it was exposed to the son that the father went to a witch to have him killed before he was born, the kid chose the dark side. The ending in this movie definitely makes me want to see the second part, with hopes that the kid switches sides. There didn't really seem to be any hidden themes or messages, just an entertaining movie to see, I could see it being a block-buster film when it came out. I really liked the fight scenes and the way that they used montage during these scenes to create even more confusion and excitement. I enjoyed the film alot and am interested in what happens in part 2.
