This week I went to see the "Adventures of Tintin :The Secret of the Unicorn" and I will not lie, I was stoked! Couldn't wait to see it. Not even sure why, I never read the comics as a child. I did play the computer game though (90ies kid), and I remember not being able to pass a level with a gorilla having kidnapped this scientist. I just couldn't beat him.
Anyway, back to the film. I really really enjoyed it. The animation was great, I loved the direction as well. Even though I'm not a huge fan of adventure films, this one was pretty good! Never mind the comical element. Man, I was laughing so hard with Captain Haddock. His expressions, his use of alliteration, but also the Scottish accent!

After reading this article *click* on Tintin's sexuality, I couldn't help but notice (or imagine) sexual tension between Tintin and Captain Haddock, in some scenes, especially near the ending. On the one hand, as a child I always imagined Tintin completely asexual. He was just a child in my eyes, he didn't care about crushes or love or whatever, nor with boys nor with girls. On the other hand, it could be possible that Tintin's meant to be having some secret passionate affair with Haddock? I don't know, I don't plan to look into it too much, although I do plan to get a couple of those comic strips in my hands !
(this was in that computer game as well!
ah, I even remember the bagpipe soundtrack...)
