haha... I guess I just never really got attached to my toys as a kid.
I thought the movie was good... and touching. It just didn't really stir anything emotionally in me. This brings up something I should have thought to mention in my first reply: For me, at least, when I get emotionally impacted by a movie, it is often not the exact characters or situations in the movie that are impacting me. They are merely placeholders for other people or situations that do have more immediate relevance to me. So, for me, in Toy Story 3, the emotion comes more from a realization that in a few short years I will (in a way) be "losing" my YF. Toys are just wood and plastic, they can't talk, and they don't have personalities. But my YF -- he is incredibly real, and I love him very much. [For others, the Toy Story 3 emotional impact may be more due to a realization about one's own lost childhood, or about lost opportunities with a son or daughter (who has grown up), etc.] Often, movies "open me up" to feeling emotions and dealing with issues that are already within me, and Toy Story 3 was definitely one of those. SPOILER TO THE END: Oddly (for a BL forum), I didn't have a problem with a girl getting Andy's toys. I thought it made for a nice change. |
