Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire-DOTR #106

from The Desert of the Reel: A Movie Podcast · host Desert of the Reel

In this episode about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), both Jason and Ryan recognize that this probably isn't the best of the Harry Potter movies. Aside from the logical flaws that Jason is obsessed with, the plot-heavy, character-light approach the film takes leaves us without a deepening attachment to most of the characters. Interestingly, it also leaves out a lot of the plot of the novel, which also weakens the film. We discuss rule-bound ethics, rebellion against unjust or illogical laws, death studies, and the need for us to be aware of our strengths and weaknesses so we can be effective in life, and have the power to attack the injustice in the world.What are your thoughts on this movie? share us your review or anything else at all at [email protected]
