Review of The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn

I watched this movie twice. I think it was a wonderful movie. I realize today's nihilistic generation calls simple wisdom and gentle goodness by such epithets as "sappy morals" and "hackneyed lines", "platitudes" and - it is as if the only innovative plots and topics are those that have to deal with sex and drugs, satanism and destruction. If these topics are what today's maturity is all about, I want no part of it. You can take American Pie, Fight Club, American Beauty, and the rest of your critically acclaimed trash, watch it over again if you want. But this is not the place for this discussion I suppose. And what of Noah being a "carpenter god" and always involved with his work? Is it still OK for a man to love what he does? Is it still OK, in this age of families who uproot every few years to move to the next city that provides a rung up in the career ladder, in this age where books like "Who Moved My Cheese" now mock those who have decided to stay where they are, in this age of consultants and temp workers, is it still OK to anchor down? Today's prevailing "cultural" attitudes and tastes for movies and entertainment dealing with degradation are moving us toward the world portrayed in Clockwork Orange. Is that what you want? I'll take Noah's world anyday.
