@@ -10,14 +10,12 @@ But he's also miserable because nobody ever treated him well and the only person
Perhaps this is me projecting my own perspective onto the film, but hear me out. The Grinch is a little fruity. Not because he's explicitly bisexual, but because he's an agent of chaos that is too crazy to be afraid of kissing a man for the hell of it. But it plays
But even as an agent of chaos, he has his limits in that he refuses to harm an innocent, pure child who only ever treated him with kindness. His heart is small, but he's not heartless, and Cindy-Lou used that tiny shred of Whomaity that he still had in him to change him for good, even when he wanted nothing else but to reject this help. Again, I'm projecting my own beliefs, but she is Christlike by nature, schooling the men in power as a child, teaching them what's right, being the only right one when everyone was wrong, the only one who was willing to defend the most sinful man from the world at large. This stupid Jim Carrey kid's movie made me cry. Dr. Seuss may have always liked his stories to be simple for helping children learn what's right, but even with the raucous tone of this film, the beautiful message was preserved. This is where I take issue with many Christians. They throw the baby out with the bathwater when they refuse to acknowledge how much good can be gained from any given film. Because they can't abide the fact that it says "bitchin" a single time, they lose out and completely forget that Cindy-Lou can be interpreted as an allegory for Christ, and this story as a whole can serve as an edifying reminder of the Plan of Salvation. Cindy-Lou Who for President.

I can feel the Spirit during this film while other Mormons have skill issue and religious trauma. Cindy-Lou Who for President.
Now that I've convinced both Christians and non-Christians that I'm insane, one final note of potential value projection on my behalf. I possibly laughed the hardest at the line that called the taxpayers of Whoville "generous" for paying for a car. It's not generous to give away somebody else's money that you stole. The taxpayers are REQUIRED to pay taxes, which inherently means any good or evil committed with the taxes incurred are inherently not their responsibility. They cannot claim neither the good nor bad that came of their taxes because they don't have a choice in paying them. This is why the film made the joke. Actually, I'm not projecting, the writers share my value and see the same irony that I do in stealing money via the threat of the Executive Branch being touted as charitable. My girlfriend's family was taken aback by my laughter, probably because they've seen it a million times, have it memorized, and are desensitized to the cleverness of the jokes.
Now that I've convinced both Christians and non-Christians that I'm insane, one final note of potential value projection on my behalf, this time from the Libertarian perspective. I possibly laughed the hardest at the line that called the taxpayers of Whoville "generous" for subsidizing a car as a reward. It's not generous to give away somebody else's money that you stole. The taxpayers are REQUIRED to pay taxes, which inherently means any good or evil committed with the taxes incurred are not their responsibility. They cannot claim neither the good nor bad that came of their taxes because they don't have a choice in paying them. It's not a charity if it knocks on your door, holds you at gunpoint, and robs you. If a charitable organization did that, we'd call them terrorists. When our Government does that, we call them Democrats and Republicans. This irony is why the joke works and why they wrote it.

My girlfriend's family was taken aback by my laughter, probably because they've seen it a million times, have it memorized, and are desensitized to the cleverness of the jokes. So their reaction was "how haven't you seen this before?" and my response was, "I kinda saw it, but that's just hilarious either way." In so many words. I don't want to talk over a movie when that might ruin their experience. Nobody but other film lovers want to watch a movie with someone who majored in Digital Cinema. I know I suck, so I keep Me to Myself. And that's on Masking folks. Wait, wrong Jim Carrey movie.
//kinda reminds me of how many times they say bitchin in american graffiti cuz of cultural context
//when the grinch gets complimented by young who (ciny lou? or other?) reference - rudolph "she thinks I'm cuuuude!!"
//i was laughing out loud when sara's family wasn't cuz they've seen it a billion times and they were like how have you seen this and i was like idc bruh that's funny
//when the grinch gets complimented by young who (ciny lou? or other?) reference - rudolph "she thinks I'm cuuuude!!"
