Restoration
So, while reading "Restoration," I couldn't help but think of a few other works and films that I believe are very similar in some aspects. For instance, has anyone ever seen the TV film series The Librarian? If not, it's basically about this very intelligent guy who applies to work in a library...simple enough. However, it is no ordinary library of course! In the basement of the library are countless artifacts and mythic treasures (for instance, Neptune's trident, Excalibur, the Holy Grail, etc). Anyway, the Librarian's job is to go out and collect these valuables. In "Restoration," when Andy was applying for the gallery job, I pictured the same beginning as the first Librarian movie. He's not sure why he got the job, and he underestimates what all the job actually entails. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot!

So, he's Indiana Jones?
ReplyDeleteIn a sense...I guess so. Well, he lacks the athletic skill set that Indiana Jones possesses. He usually has a female companion that plays the role of the "Brawn," while he is the "Brains."
ReplyDeleteAnd now it kinda sounds like Doctor Who.
Sounds like something I should watch. I love libraries! (I want to be a librarian.)
ReplyDeleteAh I say the Librarian a few years ago! I really did enjoy that scene.
