Howto Train A Dragon

Yesterday night went out to see this movie with wifey. The story might seem so typical, however it was really fun to watch and after a long time I felt like I had seen a really good movie.

We saw the 2D version and I guess there’s a 3D version as well.

This is yet another movie that should inspire kids into engineering/science . I dont know why kids, especially boys dont see the engineering talent of the hero and emulate that (no, I dont mean go fight crime or villains, I mean go create something. solve your problems). When I was a kid, my heroes were talented engineers, and not genetic abnormalities (batman. I tried creating my own bat cave under my bed, and made my own batman’s belt to carry all sorts of tools.) .

Every movie probably has a core story line that you can extract and this storyline repeats between movies. The core storyline in this movie and another sci fi 3D movie that you can recognize would probably go like this:
hero+hero’s people+nemesis.
hero’s people hate nemesis
hero interacts with nemesis. discovers they’re not so bad.
hero tries to convince hero’s people that nemesis is cool/fun. fails.
hero’s people try to destroy nemesis.
(beyond this point, variations can be introduced…)
epic battle
hero + nemesis + (hero’s people) victorious
happily ever after

So its possible that based on this core line, I can create my own movie.
Maybe we can create a story spewing program as well….
watch out hollywood!!!
