movie review - The Adventures of Tintin

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.04.30

I really enjoyed this animated rendition of the old "Tintin" comic books. I found the story good not only as a rendition of a tale from the books, but as a standalone movie. I liked the characters, I liked the quirky animation style, and I liked the mix of story and action. God bless Captain Haddock!

Strongly recommended. A favorite.

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
