[Lin had a feeling that starting a deep, philosophical conversation about magic and responsibility and chaos might ruin the mood tonight, so she let the subject drop for now. They could come back to this some other day.
Somehow, magic in a movie didn't seem as ominous. It probably had to do with how Lin had less chance of being personally set on fire here. A hero rose to slay a dragon only to realize that the kind was despoiling the land far more with taxes and cruel laws than mere dragonfire ever could. Together, the hero and the dragon gathered all the people together and defeated the king and his cabal of dark wizards in a climactic showdown in a burning castle. In the end the hero and the dragon flew off into the sunset and everyone lived happily every after except for the king but no one liked that guy so it's fine.
Lin emerged from the theater full of popcorn and good feelings about how everyone could band together to defeat evil.]
I had trouble following some bits but the climax was real dramatic. And I always like a happy ending!
