A blow struck for the Bohemian Family
I have a unique take -there is a very important message to this film. Too many young people and Bohemian types no longer believe in having children and starting families because they feel- often justifiably- that having families traps one in a stultifying and sterile suburban environment and cuts them off from a stimulating and rewarding creative life. To be a creative individual in the spirit-dead suburbs is a challenge. But a challenge to embraced, unless we want dipshit Bible-bashing Bush-lickers to breed thinking people off of the map. I see the Incredibles as a story of exceptional people not succumbing to their soul-destroying surroundings and showing there is another way. Bohemians, Leftists, Artists and other individualists used to believe in family- what happened to this generation? Some of the most prominent non-comformists today were tutored and nutured by their parents. The message of the Incredibles is that too often the limitations on off-beat families are self-imposed. "Breeder" is a badge of honor, not a mark of shame.
And oh yeah- this is a hilarious and action-packed wonder for children of all ages as well as a tremendous tutorial for self-motivated children. Strongly modeled after the MArvel comic the Fantastic Four, the sheer manic inventiveness of this film will blow you away. And the moral of the story needs to be shouted from every rooftop- Rise about the herd and never be ashamed for being an individual.
