Babe ... the Best Film Ever!
I almost didn't see the first Babe film in the theatre. Mostly I
ignored its great reviews and terrific word-of-mouth acclaim. Cynically,
thought I, this was a movie about a talking pig! Eventually I gave in and
saw Babe at a second-run theatre.
Babe changed my life forever
I saw Babe four more times in the theatre. I gave up pork, ham,
bacon, prosciutto and all other porcine products. I used it as a teaching
tool to discuss freedom, tradition and political obligation with my
students. Most of all, Babe made me recall what I knew as a child and had
learnt to forget as an adult: that wonder is the core of the encounter
between the human and animal species, that dreams should be held close,
that everyone, even your enemy, needs a second chance.
What is Babe all about?
The first Babe film depicts the quest of a young orphaned pig, Babe,
to become a sheep pig.
In the second film, Babe embarks on quest in the city to save the
farm.
