Wayne’s Word: Ralph Breaks The Internet

December 7, 2018 By Taylor Dickson

Written by Wayne Townsend


The 57th feature-length Disney film is a sequel to 2012 Wreck-it Ralph. A quick recap, the antagonist of a 1980’s arcade video game Ralph, discovers he isn’t merely a bad guy of a video game, but someone who has feelings and has been misunderstood by the other character’s that inhabit the central repository they retreat to after the video arcade closes for the evening. Six years into their friendship, Vanellope von Schweetz, star of her own game, existence is threatened due to the fact her game is broken, and the proprietor of the arcade is unwilling to pay for the replacement part. This motivates Ralph to venture onto the internet to search for the part when they find out it’s available on eBay. This is when the movie takes off. Product placement runs amok, an adept metaphor of internet usage. Disney reminds us that they own everything, Marvel Studios, Pixar, Star Wars, The Muppets just to name a few, with some characters from their respective universes, make an appearance. Yoda, R2D2, Ironman, are only a few. Every Disney princess appears with the voice talents of the original actresses reprising their roles. Ralph and Vanellope land into an internet racing game that Vanellope becomes enthralled with, but Ralph is afraid of due to the violent landscape. Internet controlled characters can “die,” but since Ralph and Vanellope are merely video game code, their deaths would be permanent. Vanellope wants to stay, but Ralph wants to get the part and return to the rote routine that the two of them have lived since the end of the first movie. This the main conflict of the film, Vanellope realizes the nature of their friendship will forever be changed and is sadden at the fact her decision may end her relationship with Ralph as suffers from insecurities as he sees her as his only. Mayhem ensues, as Ralph infects the internet game with a virus he obtained from the “dark web.” The depiction of Ralph descent to the place where shadowy figures live, (actual bugs represent the viruses) is just what an imaginative person would dream up if one had to visualize a computer “infection.” Ralph Breaks the Internet in a film that deals with the changing dynamic of friendship when one party wants to change the direction of their life, in this case, a career change, that forces the other to decide if the relationship can remain intact now that the parameters have been irrevocably altered. A life lesson all humans have faced at one time or other. Rated PG, this would be a good way for parents to explain how to deal with the emotions their child would feel when faced with a similar moment. For this, and for fear Disney has (probably) replaced “Big Brother,” Ralph Breaks the Internet receives 3 out of 5.

Wayne’s Word: Creed II

November 28, 2018 By Taylor Dickson

Written by Wayne Townsend

The 7th iteration (8th picture) of the Rocky saga is not just a good boxing movie, but a good film. As far as reboots go, Creed was not only clever but credible. Filled with all the ethos that made Rocky Balboa the most famous (fictional) boxer in the history of the sport, it explored, in a deeper than usual way, the complexities of living in the shadows of famous fathers. For Adonis Creed, played by Michael B. Jordan it was the legacy left by his father, Apollo Creed, played by Carl Weathers in the first four installments. For Viktor Drago, played by Florian Munteanu, it’s trying to please his father, Ivan Drago, who is blinded by revenge for the loss at the hands of Rocky in Rocky IV. Ivan lost everything as a result of his defeat, honor, support of his country, even his wife, who left both Ivan and Viktor. Brigette Nielson returns as Drago’s ex-wife with a disdain for both men. Adonis is plagued by the omnipresence of the father he never knew. Driven to ‘right the wrong’ of his father’s death at the hands of Ivan, he signs to fight the larger, stronger Viktor much to the chagrin of his adopted uncle, Rocky. During his win on a technicality, Adonis suffers a brutal beating, and as a result, is haunted by the reason he took the fight in the first place. Newly married he becomes a father himself as he struggles with finding his own identity and if he should challenge Viktor to a rematch. In Russia, Viktor and Ivan are the toast of the Russian elite and the return to favor in this circle becomes the driving force for Ivan. As Viktor sees through this pretention, he implores his father to see the same. As his pleas fall on death ears, the conflicted Viktor carries on as the dutiful son and continues to be the instrument of his father’s rage.

Creed II co-written by Stallone, is a return to what made the first film a journey of self-discovery and not just a sports movie. What makes Rocky resonate with the fans is the choice of the sport of boxing, as someone said, “you play sports, in boxing you fight.” The fight is not just with your opponent, but the fight within oneself. Jordan captures this, and the chemistry between him and Tessa Thompson, who plays Bianca Taylor, his future wife, is reminiscent of that between Stallone and Talia Shire, Adrian of the first five Rocky’s. The scenes between them cover most of the emotional angst Adonis faced that is outside of his life as a fighter. Creed II has a scene were Rocky tells Adonis, “this is your time now.” After two successful films, fans should agree. Stallone passes the torch to the competent hands of Jordan, and the saga created way back in the olden days of 1976 of a fighter overcoming incredible odds, should continue.
