Review of Bolt

Bolt (2008)
7/10
Uhm, well, cool for the kids...

The first minutes of the movie are actually dark; living into something you thought was real but was not. Bolt thought he was a superhero but he was just an ordinary dog- cute and cuddly and used. When I realized what is going on I kinda wished he was actually what he though he was. He was played really nice by the people he trusted, with all that busting power and importance- he was just a dog.

But in fairness, this kiddie movie lifted up as it goes by. The atmosphere became the usual element of a kiddie movie which is adventure and fun. Animal cartoons "anime" is a product of frustrations of the reality, when one rich person cannot deal with reality; he resorts to something like cartoons. No dogs can really talk; special effects on a living actual dog might be insensibly costly.

This movie made me rethink a hero does not have to the big stuff heroes always do which was presented at the beginning, because all that big stuff hero thing are fake. (I'm talking about charities and pictures and media.) The real hero is the one who is not afraid of doing the right thing even if all the people turned their faces away from him. Like Bolt we know at the end of the movie.

This is not another hero movie, this is presentation of reality. The hamster in a cage, the cat who at first abused the weak- lives in a camouflage, the actress, the birds, and Bolt. You know what I mean.
