When I was a kid, I never watched the same movies as others. Or, thats a bit of a lie, I still watched Disney and all that. And I still do :) But what I was thinking of what that I watched movies maybe kids shouldnt be watching.
This morning I woke up and on the radio it was Bryan Adams - Everything I do I do it for you or whatever its called. Reminded me of Robin Hood - Prince of thieves, with Kevin Costner. How I loved that movie as a child. It was released in Sweden 1991 and that means I was about 7 when it was showed on what Im guessing was called Filmnet back then (Canal + oldstyle!). I could spend days waiting for a movie to be shown and since I didnt know how to time the recoding on the video, I had to stay up to start it, no matter when it was showing. Help from mom and dad... No thank you! Well, mom still doesnt know how to turn on anything that is connected to electricity anyway.
I always wished I would be saved away from my life by a knight in golden armor, or natural linen, either way. It feels sad to think of now, that I wanted to get away from my life when I was 7, but these days I know why and its not so weird and in all honesty, there arent a lot of knights out there anyway.
Im guessing my other two favourite movies as a kid is connected to this one. Pretty woman, which is still my favourite movie of all times, and The Bodyguard (Kevin Costner again???!!!). Both about being saved. Now, I think I sure had a problem as a kid haha. On the other hand, watching Disney movies day in and out cant be that good either. When I think of it, I was the only kid who knew all the shows, cause we had German satellite channels at home.
So, I realise I have a few problems now. 1) I have to find help for my love of Kevin Costner. 2) I have to find a knight, but on the other hand I got me a deathknight so that will have to do, cant be assed after 20 years to look anymore, 3) I have to watch all Disnet movies in English and all those kiddie shows I saw in German as a kid in Swedish in English.
Or I can just go do heroics.
