I went to the cinema with 3 other people. We all liked Reisen mot nord. First of all the script is good seeing it's based on H. C Andersen. I never felt the movie had an agenda besides telling a good story. That's important these days.

Furthermore the characters are very likable. They are lovely and heart warming and brave and give us lots of feelings throughout the movie. The evil witch is also a good character. She is laughable, but we clearly understand that she is very evil underneath her antics.

I loved the many animals in the story who help the heroine fight the good cause. They added a lot of warmth to the movie. Great how the script picks nice things from Christianity, like a guardian angel sent from Heaven to help the heroine, to showing us how beatiful the animistic beliefs of the sami people are for example through an old sami woman protecting the girl from the magic of the snow witch by chanting and making a potent sami folk medicine brew for her to drink.

Lastly I liked the animation and the music.

Absolutely worth watching!

I watched a few minutes of Ancient Aliens:Origins today, and it annoyed me enough to want to comment on it. (I believe it's just a revisit of the so called mysteries presented in the original Ancient Aliens series.) Needless to say both are trash. The one I watched today speculated that Puma Punku in Bolivia actually was made with the help of aliens lending their technology and super advanced tools to the indigenous crafts men. How lame can it possibly get? No wonder the real historians and archeologists shake their heads. Meanwhile there are people who think this is great TV, since they confidently know by now that science is just an elite fraud.

I went to Stone henge a few years ago and pondered how the whole of society got together to transport and then put the huge stones in a specific pattern to worship the sun and the going of the seasons. When the whole of society helped in the undertaking it means everyone with all their skill sets chipped in. When that happens anything is possible, and the LEAST likely explanation is that some green men from outer space helped them. The conclusion must be that The History Channel make these shows solely because it's what sells. And that's even more far out than aliens from space!

Great episode that I've watched numerous times. I wonder if Tosk reminds O'Brian of how great his own adventure is. Tosk speaking about the great hunt and dieing with honour. Well, O'Brian's life has been some adventure, on his early assignments, then serving under Picard, now on DS9 and with a wife and daughter he loves. But let's not forget what a gentle and lovely person O'Brian is. The chemistry between him and Tosk is great. This episode has some similarities to Honour amongst thieves, where O'Brian also befriends a man. This man doesn't talk about the great hunt, but he says: O'Brian, remember, your family is the most important thing.

At the end we also get a great scene between Sisko and O'Brian.

All in all Captive pursuit is a great episode.
