The Legend of Zorro was an entertaining movie with some fun fight scenes, but there were definitely some strange things going on:
>The Confederacy existed in 1850.
>Cowboys and illiterate hoodlums carried sabres.
>An ultra-secret order of knights established during the crusades ruled the world until the United States and Allan Pinkerton came to the rescue.
These people have been watching too much History Channel.
The drinking, smoking, visual-wise-cracking horse stole the show.
2006-06-19 Update: I appreciated the pro-father elements in Zorro 2, although it occurs to me now that the makers might have intended to convey a different message than the one I heard. Life’s responsibilities are sometimes much bigger than today. Feelings and ideals about “quality time” and nurturing sometimes have to take a back seat to duty.
