Constantine, teenagers
Mar. 13th, 2005 01:29 pmI really enjoyed Constantine. My eyes may have deceived me, but I think that Keanu might have actually been acting. Anyway, I thought it was neat. No gaping plot holes that I noticed, very few "magically pulling tricks out of ass" resolutions. I recommend it, although I haven't read the comic so I have no idea what points it failed on.
Theory on teenagers and how difficult they can be:
-Teenagers are difficult during the transitional portion of puberty because their bodies keep on drastically changing and it is upsetting and confusing.
-Thereafter, when things have mostly settled down to an equilibrium (albeit not completely), they are difficult because they are adults being forced to live like children by their families and society (but mostly by their families)
Evidence for my half-baked theory:
All the parents I know who bring up their children by treating them like adults and presenting them with options and giving them as much freedom to choose for themselves (once they're informed) as possible don't seem to have so much trouble with their teens being rebellious.
