He didn't want to be a hero. He only wanted a job.

Once in awhile, a movie comes around that promises to change the way society views librarians, depicting them as chic, sophisticated individuals...The Librarian is not that movie. Not only does it reinforce that people do not need an M.L.I.S. to become a librarian, but the movie implies that magic fills the library world as job invitations come floating in at just the opportune time, the public library system has priceless possessions (and therefore funding!) that we have only heard about in stories, and librarians guard the world's treasures-which, incidentally, are not books. Flynn Carsen ("the librarian") does not even want to be a librarian at first---he just wants a job. I'll end my review there, since I do not want to spoil the movie for others. Movie night next term anyone?
