watched connnie and carla and the village two days ago with kit.
one of those watch-on-impulse things again.
connnie and carla was interesting and a little funny. it was also a little disturbing to see all the guys cross dress and sing and dance and all that.
i though i'd get over it considering i've already watched private parts, but nah. it still made me kinda uncomfortable.
the village was awesome!
shyamalan knows his stuff man.
(to daph, mel and weird ppl who stumbled upon my blog: if you have not watched the show pls dont read on. i'm gonna spill everything)

the setting was a usuall 1800s kinda village, surrounded by the woods where creatures are said to lurk. lucius wants to cross ths forbidden woods to the next town for supplies (medicine...) for the townsfolk. he consults the elders (a group of people who have been in the village for a long long time) but they declined.
one night, the creatures came into the town and scared everyone into hiding. they looked totally scary.
to cut to the chase, lucius got stabbed by this mad guy (a resident of the village) and his fiancee, a blind girl name lily walker, wants to cross the woods to get medicine.
her father, one of the elders, allows her to do it without the consent of the rest (because she was seriously in love with this lucius).
so she crossed the woods and meet with a monster and killed it (the method was brilliant considering the fact that she was blind). she found the road in the woods that would take her out of the woods and into the next town.
now here's the kicker.
when she reached the end of the road, there was this huge wall coverd with vines. she climbed it and guess where she turned up? she was outside the walker wildlife reservation and was obviously in present time.
she got medicine from this poilce officer (who was very confused about where she came from and all that) and made her way back to the village.
so this is what happened:
apprently, all the elders had experienced something horrible in their life while they were in civilisation (death, killings, that kinda stuff). they happen to meet one day and mr walker (the village head and lily's dad) came up with this idea of a utopia of sorts where they would live in a made up village in the period of 1800s. they belived that this was the only way to be happy and well away from the troubles of civilisation.
to prevent people from ever living the village and finding out the truth about everything, they made up rumours about things in the woods; creatures in read cloaks (the bad colour) that kill.
however what the villagefolk did not know was that the creatures in red were actually the elders, posing once in a while (in a really scary coustume), to keep the rumours alive.
one night though, there was a monster in town when the elders knew that there shouldnt be one. and that was the crazy village guy (whose parent were elders) who found the coustume and started parading around in it and even into the woods where lily killed him.
the story may sound complicated here but its a real shocker in the movie.
although it was fantastic, i still felt disturbed.
to what extent will people go to look for happiness?
