Pinocchio

This week, Justin, Ashley, and Dave watched Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. Here’s the synopsis: “A father's wish magically brings a wooden boy to life in Italy, giving him a chance to care for the child.” Everyone appreciated the artistry that went into this film, although Dave could have done without all the nonsensical whale scenes. Justin had a real change of heart by the end of the film, having started out hating it but waxing poetic about the beauty of death by the end of it. Ashley loved Pinocchio's character arc (which Justin insists did not exist), as well as the cricket character (which Justin insists was superfluous to the story).
