am talking about the DREAM WORKS Tm movie released worldwide this week- How to Train Your Dragon.
i just loved the movie... well tho it was the usual formula... an ordinary HERO who believes in something... but everyone don't look at things in his perspective.... so how does he convince them??? is the story....
Premise:
A hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed.
the hero- HICCUP very lovable... you could connect with him from the outset... his physique being little or LITTLER for a viking is his major drawback... His initial desire to become a dragon killer and how when presented with a chance to do that he realizes he cant even kill a fly, let alone a dragon... due to this selfless act, the dragon "Night Fury" opens up to him.. tho with comical consequences....
His relationship with his dad who happens to be the chief of the village is really well depicted.... icing being dad presenting his son a helmet made out of single side of his moms chest cover... :p ... His dad putting up with constant complaints from villagers about his son... hiccup frustrated tat his dad does not listen to him at all... everything makes the story heartening...
his romantic angle being Astrid the ambitious dragon warrior whos aim is to be the ultimate dragon fighter... she initially hates him and his antics but when she corners him and discovers his little Secret, he shows her his side of the world- flying on a dragon.... she starts liking and supporting him..
the vikings are all very well characterized... we have a village elder, a war veteran blacksmith/trainer,few dorky wannabe dragon slayers, cold blooded warriors.. and all the mix...
but this movie is all about Night Fury... a really cool black, blue fire spitting extremely fast and ever effluent dragon.... the characterization is pretty awesome here... i just loved how it plays with hiccup... and how they bond together....
the ultimate message i could take out of this is that the notions and blind beliefs man has about certain things.... we think something is fact wen we may be completely wrong... so look at everything in different angles...
well last but not the least,... awesome animation from Dream works...........
