Saw #SpeedRacer. One of our family’s very most favourite movies of all time! Equally, more, every time we see it!

#SpeedRacer. We enthuse, but maybe you’ve heard otherwise, & almost across the board. I say beware negativity bandwagons, …

… but you gotta be fair too. Sometimes where there’s smoke of that kind there’s a good likelihood of fire …

… To that point, one of our bright students saw the film & came back with this reasonable report …

… “I liked it, but after it was over if felt like my eyes wanted to throw up!”

#SpeedRacer is busy all right, chock full, non-stop, relentless, filled to bursting & all running over. But at every one of those busy points, …

… I do believe & fervently feel, it maintains a firm character trajectory, sufficient magnitude in his objectives …

… obstacles & antagonism that can be plenty comical, but are also quite formidable, such that ultimate triumph ultimately means …

… a very great deal. So much analogue beneath the digital!

#SpeedRacer. We’ve talked about scaffolding, about zones of proximal development. The big kids teach the little ones, in other words …

… The final/best thing I love about this movie is that a bunch of incredibly gifted, joyful, generous creators …

… are schooling & enhancing my kids’ creative lives. In the end, the thing I feel to say about this movie is thanks!
