No one wants to see Michael Myers cry. I don't want to sympathize with him.
shareRewatched this tonight. I'd forgotten he did that. I see the director wanted to 'humanise' him. Why?? He's Michael freakin' Myers! As Loomis says, 'You talk about him as if he were a human being. That part of him died years ago.'
shareThere’s nothing wrong with the scene. You’re projecting his emotions as sad, loving or conflicted. He seemed dedicated to his usual goals, but he was just momentarily touched that he found a victim who crawled into his murderous shrine with a sense of inevitability and selfless sacrifice. For a moment, he thought his niece just wanted to see her uncle once before they end their journey together.
Judging from what we learn from the subsequent film about the nature of Myers’ curse, there’s a strong reason to believe that when he kills Jamie Lloyd his task is done and he’s free. Either he resorts to a normal state, expires automatically or offs himself as the last of his bloodline.
It kind of goes against Loomis' claim that Michael was pure evil. The entire series, they made Michael like The Terminator. He had no emotion, no sense of anyone being off limits. They could have done it without an actual tear.
shareIf you thought crying was bad, what did you think about taking his mask off for Jamie?
