Second Emulation
10/07/23 • 35 min
Ever wondered why all the treasures in the National Treasure series seem to end up in USA and South America? Or why the villains seem one-dimensional with changing motivations, shifting from clearing their family name to finding treasure? We've got a lively conversation for you where we pick apart the movie National Treasure 2, Book of Secrets, from the perspective of diehard fans and critical thinkers.
Buckle up for a wild ride as we discuss our favorite moments in the movie, such as the comedic scene where Ben stages a "drunken outburst" in Buckingham Palace and the suspenseful scene where Ben "kidnaps" the president. But we're not just about sharing laughs and thrilling moments, we also critique the weak points of the movie. We muse on the missed opportunities to develop the villain and Ben's mother, and how these underdeveloped characters impact the overall plot.
We conclude the discussion with a quirky conversation about the movie's portrayal of the treasures and the mysterious UFO sightings.
