Halloween night has always been a special time for my family. Our two children have never been trick or treating. Our daughter, is now 24, married and got to experience her first Halloween as a wife. She and her husband stayed at home passing out candy, and bicycle safety pamphlets. It seems as if there are children in her neighborhood that need to learn bike safety. Our 15-year-old son decided to go eat dinner and watch a movie. We always honor those in our family that have passed on, and then allow the kids to do something special. It is a tradition that has some Catholic roots to it, although we are not Catholic.
For this night, our son wanted to see the new movie, The Legend of Zorro. My wife didn’t have too much of a problem with it as Antonio Banderas co-stars as Don Alejandro de la Vega/Zorro. I didn’t have much of a problem because Catherine Zeta-Jones co-stars as Elena de La Vega. My son knew the movie was supposed to be action packed so we all had something to watch and enjoy.
The Legend of Zorro melds the best of the older Zorro serial television series and the equally revered Wild, Wild West, with a splash of religiosity for good measure. You have TWO vile villains, with one serving as the henchman and the other as the ‘big picture’ guy. Neither one can be a match for the star power exhibited by Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Zorro aka Alejandro and his lovely wife Elena. You don’t go to see the sequel to the Mask of Zorro expecting that tragedy can really behalf our heroes in this one, and I don’t think it’s a reach to say that the ‘divorce’ doesn’t cause much drama.
