Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976)

Won Ton Ton, the dog that saves Hollywood? Yes, I think so.

[10/10 · 12 February 2005]

I give this movie a 10. Because even though I can't seem to remember one scene in it, it touched my heart and I remember that dog to this day. Touching hearts, thats what movies should be about, so 10 out of 10.

Hearts are much more important than minds after all. I mean look at me, I've forgotten the film- but I still feel something nice when I remember the name. How many movies, or people, can you say that about today?

I think I saw the movie, like a dream, in black and white. However, like a dream, those old black and white movies could pull you in so you imagined the colour. Imagination, that is important in movies too- for both sides of the looking glass.

You know, I never would have considered myself a movie fan until I watched Swordfish and saw right through it. However, I have met a lot of nice people and seen a lot more while trying to find others that saw through it.

And so, while Swordfish is an outstanding film for the mind- perhaps Mr. Travolta was wrong, perhaps Hollywood didn't always make...
