Declawing mentioned in movie "Elf"
Hi everyone,
I just got back from seeing the movie Elf. The movie was great, the story is really cute, and I would recommend the movie for kids and adults. However, there was a statement in the movie that stuck out like a sore thumb. When Will Farrell first comes in to his dad's office, the secretary is on the phone talking to someone, and she says "I've never declawed kittens. How many of them are there? Eight? Well, bring them by the trailer." I probably didn't get it word-for-word, but that's basically what she says. Then she hangs up. This is never explained, never brought up again. The secretary is not a part-time vet or anything, I have no idea why she would be declawing kittens. It's a minor character in the movie, and she's portrayed as a nice person. WTF was the purpose of that conversation?!?!! The movie is great otherwise, but this is really bothering me! -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net Check out www.snittens.com |

Kelly,
Just to recap: Life in the big city is not all sugarplums and candy canes. His father is a "Scrooge" and his eight-year-old stepbrother doesn't believe in Santa. Even the snowmen aren't friendly in New York. In fact, they don't even speak. Worst of all, everyone has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. The line in the movie you are referring to is used as one more identifying characteristic that the city is hard and uncaring, even at the holidays. Who would think of declawing kittens at a trailer, in the winter? That's it. You are reading into it too much. |
