It's one of Wallace and Gromit's finest.
It's one of the very best. Brilliant stuff.
Last Crusade is the best. I still think Raiders is the best visually but for entertainment and pure enjoyment it's this one.
I don't buy it.
Harrison Ford "I wasn't sure about the casting of Sean at first. The guy's only 12 years older than me and he's supposed to be my father. But it worked out. It was great fun working with him and bouncing off each other."
Ford and Spielberg are both on record saying Last Crusade was the one they enjoyed working on the most. Would they say that if there was tension on set? And Ford, who isn't exactly one of the most extroverted celebs, was on stage praising Connery at his AFI lifetime achievement ceremony.
No one. There was no need for Wyman at all in any shape or form. Should have just left it with the six originals.
He wasn't signing on. In one episode in series 2 or 3 he says working as a minder/bouncer beats signing on.
I like Debbie. And I wouldn't kick Penny out of bed either.
That scene's there to show how considerate his daughter was so neither parent would feel lonely but also because she was going to be buried on top of her mother.
No.
What would be the point of an incest storyline in the background in a six-part series that's already full of themes that are fully explored like revenge, loss, government corruption, the environment, and has a supernatural/mystical element to it? It adds nothing at all.
Craven's daughter wasn't just a daughter to him. She was like a close friend, and a wife too. But not his wife in a sexual way. His wife in an emotionally dependent way. Communication, taking care of the house etc. Notice how she nags him about the washer in his head and he looks around at how messy the kitchen is. She took care of the house while he worked odd hours.
They evidently talk about things like sex with each other comfortably like friends do. She's one week away from turning 22 so she's not a little girl.
When she gets in the car she just gives him a normal kiss on the cheek. He kisses her hand and strokes his face with it but only AFTER she says "what will do you when I'm gone?". It's like a moment for the audience to see what a tower of strength she's been for him over the years. I also think the caressing of her hand on his cheek foreshadows his unusual method of comforting people he wants information from later on in the series.
Then there's the famous dildo kissing. Several critics have noted that the actor managed to do it in such a way that wasn't sexual or creepy. And I agree with them. There's no long lingering kiss or lick. Just a gentle kiss of something intimate of hers. He sees it as part of her and therefore something to be cherished.
Do I think it's normal? Well no but there's no normal when it comes to shock and grief. Everyone's different. He's a cop who it's strongly implied still hasn't fully gotten over his wife's death and then he loses his daughter too and she'd just been just murdered right in front of him moments ago. On top of that, this is just before he finds the gun so he believes he's responsible for her death at that moment. As he searches her room the song playing has the lyrics "He went out of his mind" which is subtext from the director and writer of his mental state. And he finds and kisses the dildo AFTER he's heard her voice around the house. So he's already becoming emotionally unhinged at this point anyway.
I see no signs that their relationship was sexual.
Because they wanted to make some money. So they dumbed it down and turned it just another typical revenge story. The Hollywood remake's crap.
