More than just trees I was surprised at the low rating of this movie. I even had a friend tell me it wasn't all that great so I had low expectations when I finally got around to watching it. I'm not a big movie watcher, but I love Dr. Seuss and having seen the previews, I couldn't skip it. Contrary to what I'd been led to believe, I thought the movie was fantastic! Perhaps it's the point of view people take when they see it. Is it just about trees? Or are those trees ideas? Is it about the potential that we have to change the world when we're not afraid to follow our heart? That's the movie I saw.
The music didn't enthrall me. It just wasn't my style. I could've done without one of the cliché scenes that eluded to our unfortunate war torn history with another country, but the movie still has a great message. Perhaps in order to really appreciate this movie, we have to knock down some walls in our minds.
