Movie Reviews of Hemo the Magnificent / Unchained Goddess
Movie Review: Takes me back to elementary school
Summary: 5 Stars
Way back in the olden days when I was in elementary school (mid 70s) I remember seeing "Hemo the Magnificent" many times in school. I saw it so many times because my friend was the one assigned to run the projector and sometimes we'd just go watch it in the library - it was that entertaining. So I was pleasantly surprised to find it on DVD.
The story has Mr. Scientist and Mr. Writer interacting humorously with animated characters on a special "imagination screen." "Hemo" tells about the circulatory system in a very entertaining and easy to understand way that doesn't dumb it down like so many children's shows. And even though it was originally made in 1957 it's still very accurate (as far as I know), and even has incredible video of individual red blood cells passing through capillaries. "Goddess" tells about the weather and how meteorologists make predictions. I wasn't familiar with this one, but I believe most of it is still accurate, although methods have certainly changed since 1958 when it was made.
But while it was a fun little memory for me to watch it, I was surprised at how much my kids enjoyed it, and they've watched it several times now. My wife was a little concerned at some of the video showing beating hearts and explaining some of the myths about blood (there's a painting of an ancient human sacrifice), but I didn't think anything was inappropriate. On the contrary, I think it's a perfectly entertaining and educational film. It would have been nice if there were some extras or something discussing the background on the films or something like that for nostalgia's sake, but I was just pleased to see it at all.
