"The Damsel in Distress"

                       Yesterday  was  suppose-ta*  be  'about'  receiving  Aid not from one Savior but from a Group .  After I sent out the first blog I was brought to a "screeching HALT " .   Kurosawa's Villagers and Fuque's Town's-folk DID receive {almost SUPERNATURAL} Aid from  a Cadre {consortium} of Men who had "no where else to be" and figured there was enough money in the "Job" to keep them "Interested" .   

            This Film is fraught with a plethora of motifs, leitmotifs, plots, threads of plots, and story 'lines' all of which are densely-laden with Classical Symbolism  'overlaid' with Modern Iconography . On the 'surface' the Film is 'cartoonishly'* Simplistic >>> rite out of "Rocky and Bulwinkle" who featured "Dudley Do-Rite" whose original "claim-to-fame" was the rescue of "Nell" from "Snidely Whiplash" .   The  Town's  Voice  is  that of  a Woman,  [Halley Bennett]  who  registers  as  the  Classic "Damsel in Distress" .   "Dudley Do-rite" is none other than Danzel Washington, a Black Knight, [who is] Devoted to 'upholding' the Law .
