I just watched the movie Taken with Liam Neeson. I have always felt that certain movies ignite a fire in me more than most. It could be that I don't ask others how movies affect them or perhaps it's that I don't care how movies affect others. Either way, movies like Taken, along with many others, light a fire in the deepest part of me to bring justice to those who deserve it.
I get overly excited in exciting movies, I get overly emotional in emotional movies, and I get bored in drama movies. Movies like Transformers I and II make me sit on the edge of my seat, yell, grunt, and make fighting noises whereas my friends are trying to figure out why they are here. Movies like Simon Burch make me quit worrying about stupid stuff, and a movie like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter makes me want to live in a fantasy world.
Being that I proudly serve this great nation, movies that involve military of any kind resonate with my world a thousand times over. Inexplicable are the things a private in any Army of any nation goes through. When they spit him out of basic training he is stronger, smarter, and tougher. He will do whatever his superiors tell him and he will do the best job you could ask for. If you see a young man who serves, thank him.
Back to movies. See I told you I would ramble about things as they pop up, but I did warn you. So I guess the real reason for me posting this blog is to ask what lengths you would go to if your son or daughter were Taken?
When I read your blog I feel like I am having a conversation with you. Good times.
