MY FORSYTH | MOVIE REVIEW
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Starring: Bob Hopkins, Christopher Lloyd, Charles Fleischer Rating: PG Released-1988 Director-Robert Zemeckis
When I was a little girl, I always had two wishes. One of them was to wake up with
fins and become a mermaid, and the other was to live in the same land as my favorite cartoons. Walking with Bugs Bunny or playing with Mickey Mouse would make my dreams come true. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, that
could not happen. However, I did find the best of both worlds in the movie, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” the hilarious tale of a cartoonhating detective helping a cartoon prove he was framed for a murder. This movie is probably one of the most creative and hilarious movies ever! The way that the cartoons look just as real as the humans is remarkable. I love the “Easter eggs” too, and when Frank Sinatra was a singing sword. Even though this movie is absolutely perfect, there is one character that was a bit creepy. Judge Doom is by far the creepiest character on the planet. Just the way Christopher Lloyd presented the character and gave it that gravity-defining dimension and creepiness is extraordinary. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” is a story about truth and loyalty, love and forgiveness, resentment and letting things go. What I got out of it was that there is no drug or drink that will make you feel as good as you are when you laugh or when you are positive. We are all given a short time on Earth and we need to spend it positively and lovingly. So instead of “Stop and smell the roses”, why not “Stop and laugh?” You deserve it!
