"Try and understand..."

I think that it is such a shame, that at some moments (some days) you are so inspired. You can keep writing and writing and writing without stop....and then others writing seems like the most difficult thing ever known to (wo)man. And these maniac writing days are unfortunately only a rare few.

Well, as I have said previously it is that time of the year again; Christmas. Some people I know are aware of the fact that I am insanely obsessed with the movie “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” I, in turn, am well aware that some people have some problems with this film. Or, that they simply just hate it. I don’t know lack of Christmas spirit or something...?

And some people go as far as to attack the film…attack little Rudolph and Santa and Hermey, etc (they are the only truly good ones in the film. Sure you could say Santa was quite rude to Rudolph in the beginning, but...) I don’t understand why they would even bother to attack it. I mean, look how adorable Rudolph is! ☺ … But, all that aside I have been recently become aware that one reason why people don’t like. I believe it to be a blasphemous, insane reason.…

Some person has claimed that a terrible act against the English language occurs right before the two youngsters, Hermey and Rudolph, sing “We’re a couple ‘a Misfits.” while they are just becoming acquainted. Hermey exclaims “ Let’s be independent together!”

Now this is some sort of disgrace to the English language. Some sort of oxymoron. It is teaching children bad things….blah, blah, blah. Of course all the children that watch this movie are going to remember these four words of this one song for the rest of their lives and therefore they will never be able to speak English correctly!! I can't think of anything worse than this, can you?

See, I think that you must remember the fact is it is a child speaking after all…why would he speak proper English? He is simply making a declaration to his new friend. He wants to venture off into the world and not feel so alone. Is there some bitter resentment from whomever brought up this defamation? I happen to think it is a heartfelt quote. “Let’s be independent together.”

Taking words and phrases out of context always, always, messes with their meaning, their true meaning. This movie is about the connection that Hermey and Rudolph are able to make amidst all of the (dare I say it) racism surrounding them. This is a joyous moment. Ok, done.

And, honestly if you are going to bring up something wrong with the song, why don't you atleast bring up the words that really make no sense... "We're not daffy and dilly/Don't go around willy-nilly." Now, that is better than blip of an oxymoron? (If you are going to attack anything at all...)
