The Safe Side – Internet Safety
The dvd that was shipped to me was not the same title that I ordered. I refused delivery, and am waiting for a response and credit.

Another tour de force film from Austrian auteur Hans Zeilinger (“Wie Fr Eine Aktive,” “Tragfhigen!”), this is an absolute aesthetic delight.
Zeilinger paints–with shadows and light–a cinematic landscape that is stark, melancholy, and yet hides a deeper warmth behind every image and every character. Using the camera lens as the “eye of God,” Zeilinger focuses on the absurd in a way that only members of the Austrian filmmaking community seem to have adopted. It is a Dogma 95 for the new age!
“The Safe Side – Stranger Safety” is both a morality play and a frightening glimpse of the world we may someday be facing. The “Stranger” in Zeilinger’s world not only offers candy to children metaphorically, but quite literally too, in a disturbing montage that is reminiscent of his earliest films.
While this may not be Zeilinger’s best work, it certainly sees the filmmaker back in top form, and his brilliant cautionary tale has the perfect blend of gripping action, haunting melodies, despair, and fart jokes.
Kudos, Hans! Kudos!

Sorry, but I bought the DVD for my grandson and have not watched it. I am sure it is a good movie from the advertising I have seen on TV.

I really liked this DVD on first pass. However, I am really disturbed by the way that the Super Chick is constantly cramming food in her mouth. It is a disappointment to me that Julie Clark allowed this to be in one of her videos–especially because she has daughters. This is a subtle message about unhealthy eating that a role model is giving to our kiddos. I love this video, but would love to see a remake without the binge eating.

I think that this video has good intentions however, most of the things in video are common sense situations that most if not all parents teach their children in reference to strangers. What bothered me was that my kids walked away from the tv periodically. My 6 year old watched a bit but then got bored. My 4 year old liked the music but didn’t pay attention to what was going on in the video which defeats the purpose of it. Although every child is different both of mine were not interested.
