J. R. R. Tolkien, devout Catholic, Oxford don, husband, dad, and Pope's man, called the work of the imagination the "subcreation" of the created (humans). Rarely have I seen a vision of subcreation on the silver screen to equal (and satisfy the child in me) that of the brothers Conran, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" [2004]. If you find the opportunity, I highly recommend it. It is so choice. [HT: last two sentences, Ferris Bueller] The kicker is that Paltrow, Jolie, and Law did the entire thing in front of blue screen.
