Re: Movie Club Discussion!

1. What was your initial reaction when the movie started? How did that change by the end of the movie?

(A reaction from my first time (just after it came out, yes I am that old), not this most recent rewatch..) Honestly, I thought it looked boring and cheesy (if pretty)...but I really got into it by the end.

2. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Your least favorite character? Why?

Favorite - the skeleton guarding the passageway - Rene Auberjonois' performance was amazing and the empty wine bottle was a perfect blend of absurd and tragic. He's the one that's always stuck with me...

Least - Haggard...he's...boring. Too sympathetic to be a truly hatable villain, not sympathetic enough to actually like him. He's a useful plot engine, but not much to speak of as a character.

3. What was your favorite scenes? Your least favorite? Why?

Favorite - the skeleton scene, of course - see my explanation for why he's my favourite character. Also, the Red Bull running the unicorns into the sea was a beautiful (if sad) visual.

Least - everything before reaching Mommy Fortuna's circus. Just could not get into it until then, on first watch, though having the 'I really like this movie' factor helps on more recent watches. Still pay less attention until the circus.

4. What did you think of the soundtrack and/or score?

I honestly can't even remember if there was a score per se, even after multiple watchings. I mean, I assume there was, but it sticks with me about as well as teflon makeup. The vocal songs are...ok, but not to my taste at all.

5. What did you think of the production (cinematography, editing, costuming, etc.)?

The design work was fabulous - I don't think all of the designs actually hit (oh, lord, the butterfly), but it's a great range from beautiful (the unicorns are so pretty, including 'Amalthia' in her human form) to grotesque (that goddamn harpy, man).

It's one of those movies I rewatch every couple years, or at least have for the last 15 years or so since buying a copy...before that I'd watch it whenever it was on TV.

Haggard was so boring I completely forgot why he was doing what he was doing.

There was some score but it was mostly that...weird ass 80s music.

I thought the designs were unique but I just really could get into them. I think the (sometimes) lazy backgrounds drew my attention from the artwork for me. There were a couple scenes that were really ridiculous looking. :P
