I forgot how much fun I used to have at the movies. The last movie that I saw was Avatar. Sad. Anyways, this movie was AWESOME! A lot of people were saying that the original one was better but since I wasn’t even born when the first version debuted in 1981, I couldn’t chime into the debate. Nevertheless, Greek Mythology intrigues me. I did my high school term paper on Hades and The Underworld and my English teacher loved it so much that she rewarded me with a 96. (I had a few grammatical errors that Microsoft Word didn’t catch.)
I don’t want to give too much away or spoil the movie for anyone so I won’t go into detail. Considering the fact that there is a scene in the Underworld, my memory was triggered and I recalled all that I had read and researched about it. I fell in love with Mads Mikkelsen’s character, Draco. He played his role really well. Being fully entertained at every point of the movie, I was able to learn he has so much animosity towards the Gods. His daughter was Demeter. As I can recall, Demeter was kidnapped by Hades because of her beauty and was selected to serve in the Underworld for certain periods of time throughout the year–Fall and Winter. She is in charge of the seasons. When she is allowed to leave the Underworld, it’s usually Spring and Summer time.
Clash of the Titans is a must see if you haven’t seen it already.
Next up, The Losers– I :heart: Idris Elba!

I am Rae. I reside in Louisiana with my two children. I am a full time worker while simultaneously attending school full time. Est1987 chronicles my life, which consists of those three roles everyday. Share my laughter, my joy, my pain, and my sadness. I wish to share my soul, publicly and privately.
