When I used to teach, I used to give the kids this little morsel...
The Smurfs Communist? Well...
- The Smurfs live apart from society, enclosed in a small commune.
- Within the commune, no one Smurf is more important than the other. That is, each Smurf is the same color and has its own position within the commune (Baker; Carpenter; etc).
- The only Smurf WITH authority - Papa Smurf (wearing what color? Red.)
- Smurfs' primary nemesis? Gargamel, whom he wants for his own personal gain - or exploitation (the very bane of Communism)
I'm not accusing you of stealing those smurf "morsels". But, since this is the movie bored, I'd like to make the observation that these observations about smurfs/communism can be heard in the movie "Slacker".
"First of all papa SMurf didnt create Smurfette, Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of leading him to the smurf village but the overwhelming GOODness of the smurfs' way of life transformed her. And as for the whole "gangbang scenario", it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual; they don't even have reproductive organs beneath those little, white pants. Thats whats so illogical about being a smurf, you know. I mean whats the point of living....if you don't have a dick?"
Yeah, I just recently discovered that as well. Christ, am I that old to appreciate the original? This new one just looks like 'Bad Santa coaches little league' - oh wait, I am sure that is EXACTLY how they pitched the idea to studio execs.
I wonder... maybe the film could be cursed. That is, whomever plays the coach of the other little league team will get decapitated 5 years later by a helicopter blade.
