Turkey Day!
Because it’s traditional to celebrate Thanksgiving with a turkey, we at Anvil & Sprocket are pleased to bring you our thoughts on Barb Wire.
Star Wars opened with a crawl in a nod to its movie serial roots. Dune opened with a voice-over because it was already confusing enough as it was. The producers of Barb Wire open their flick with a crawl because they are concerned that their audience won’t grasp the simple premise of the story. Then, because they really don’t want to take any chances on their audience’s intelligence, they provide a voice-over that reads the crawl aloud.
Our apologies to our tofurkey-eating friends, but I cannot guarantee that this movie is cruelty-free.
