He can watch the movie and tell us what he thought of it though. )
Never mind. :)
That's fine, however, joke or not, I wonder what crc may have been alluding to?
Well, I didn't of course intend for this to come across as "creepy", its just that this is what the movie has, and I suppose one could say that way that its softcore erotica that strives to have emotion, meaning and plot beyond sexual tittilation for the audience.
Maybe it also tries to say something about how human beings can't live without sex even if in certain cases, it makes people downright sad instead of happy and fulfilled or even normal?
Then again, director Tinto Brass' film "Paprika" (1991), to give just ONE example, has plenty of sex in it and general one could conclude that the film was made for erotic entertainment, but it also dealt with serious topics like abortion and had its lead heroin in situations where she didn't enjoy herself sexually so it also looked at dark sides of sex as well in the process.
Oh and I forgot to mention that Ally Walker almost seems to channel her same role of a determined reporter over here that she played in the Jean Claude Van Damme sci-fi actioner "Universal Soldier" (1992).
I also found strange similarities in the relationship between the two characters that reminded me of the later 1999 film "Eye of the Beholder" with Ewan MacGreggor and Ashley Judd.
Plus that emotional scene I mentioned in a way seems to be similar to the scene towards the end in Sergio Martino's 90s Italian erotic giallo thriller "Craving Desire" (1993) except strangely enough, Someone to Die For's similar scene manages to go emotionally even somewhat further than that, but the similarities are there and I've seen that film too.
Yes.
But also...
Say if Don did something even worse or more offensive, should he have just kept him like that because he was Commissioner's brother?
And what if Ace wasn't in the Mafia or had others give him the job that were more powerful?
If you and me did something wrong and lost our jobs, will the manager EVER bother paying us or doing any favours for us even if we WERE relatives of someone rich and powerful?
2 Goranjake - but what did you think about its special effects, set designs, production values and action sequences?
But then it gets insanely torturously violent when that man especially not only, spoilers alert, murders that girl but does it in the most horrifyingly unimaginably brutal way possible. And Marian Dora really doesn't shy away from showing the horrible stuff.
As a jokey punchline, maybe someone can reveal something similar happening in real life?
Hahahaha, :), you have got me there mate. Lol. :)
But seriously, I was personally just evaluating other comments here and elsewhere who suggested it is that, just as there were many who argued whether or not Belle's relationship with Beast really CAN be considered "Stockholm Syndrome", even if indeed he did NOT go all the selfish evil way to capture her the way real captors do and that he ONLY did it in order to attempt to somehow break the spell before true love surfaced and completed all the rest and the fact that he WAS a human that was cursed and whatnot.
I dare say, maybe some 10 years ago, the topic would've "in a way been my area of expertise" but now I keep it all short and sweet, and I for one believe indeed that bestiality isn't the appropriate term here just like Stockholm Syndrome isn't either, but yes you do seem to be quite a clever user who also seems to have analyzed this animation a lot.
By the way Stratego, have you seen "The Enchanted Christmas" and "Belle's Magical World", 2 animated sequels to this? What are they like and more importantly, how do they follow up or continue this story, for they also reveal MORE enchanted objects or humans that turned to them like books, oven gloves and even an axe along with some Witch who tries to kill Belle? Seriously, what IS all of that about, do you know? Thanks. (And for the record, I haven't yet seen either Beauty and the Beast sequel yet.)
2 Stratego - so are we then supposed to treat the "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) Disney cartoon animation as a fairytale fantasy and nothing more, certainly NOT in way(s) that relate it to real life as we know it at all, and use only fairytale logic to judge and approach all the magical stuff that happens there, right?
Come to think of it, in real life, there actually HAVE been moments of sci-fi and fantasy we may have seen in THOSE films, including aliens landing on Earth and people telepathically bending spoons and possibly a few others, like people being shot in the head and NOT dying etc.
Plus, most of us human beings seem to have gained consciousness through some kind of angels flying around here and there, and where DID human beings gain al that IMAGINATION about the magic and any kind of ghosts and inanimate objects coming to life by magic and all of that?
And also Stratego, since (and it IS a compliment btw) you happen to be very clever and not lacking at all in any information, and you DO have enough confidence to talk about many things here, if you have time, feel free please to reply to my last 'recent' thread over here about whether or not the term 'bestiality' even CAN be considered appropriate to describe the relationship between Belle and Beast here and why/why not, and if you can somehow tie it down to all those enchanted objects and people turned into them it would be a bonus, thanks. :) :) :)
Its an 80s pop band.
So he is just supposed to keep someone who is incompetent and commits gross wrongs on the job like that just because he is a relative of someone important and powerful?
Back to the one point of the subject -
How come SOME objects and aspects of the cursed/haunted/enchanted castle terrify and frighten and others charm and amuse?
Was there meant to be a point with all of this - that even somehow also relates to the central aspect of the story of a young woman falling in love with a Beastly creature? (Even if, spoilers alert, he does indeed turn into a human in the end, and all other aspects of the spell also disappear too.)
P.S. How's the film x? Was it any good? If I liked, and I did mind you, Ki Duk's other works, should I appreciate this one, although its arguably his most disturbing one, its almost like "A Serbian Film" of Kim Ki Duk, right?
Fair enough, but it has however been commonly referred to as such for long time.
Maybe it was meant to be ironic, metaphorical or darkly comical whilst in a way commenting on law enforcement's INEFFECTIVENESS in solving matters like this?
Besides, those words and terms were NOT created by God and set in stone - WE HUMANS HAVE CREATED THEM, and what is it then if its not it given that this is what humans have called it?
Seriously, if its not that, then WHAT IS IT?
