Fridge Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 QUOTE (tel @ Sep 13 2008, 10:01 PM) yeah fridge kes is a classic,casper is a real "no hoper" isnt he? Yep, there's no happy endings there for the poor lad....I think what makes it so sad is that the pointless and stupid killing of his hawk by his moronic brother is a metaphor for the fact that he will never escape the crushing hopelessness of his bleak existence. A true, unvarnished masterpiece of British cinema with no mawkish sentimentality to soften the extremely raw, hard hitting emotional edge to it.

GeddyRulz Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 QUOTE (failte @ Sep 13 2008, 11:28 PM) the little mermaid. Actually, that one can get to me sometimes. When she sings that "Wish I Could Be Part of Your World" thing, I think of something my brother did and I get misty... My brother the high school teacher played that song for his class while showing footage of handicapped kids in wheelchairs. Think about the lyrics... "Walking around on those... what are they called?... feet! Wish I could be part of that world..." Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more gritty and "real" I know about Kes, but I don't want to watch it because I know it will just depress me.. (I've seen part of the ending on some programme about animal films) When I was a kid, I knew people the same age who were cruel to animals and though it was fun or cool... I just know it would bring it all back to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 No kidding. What's the Will Smith movie where he's left behind in a city with a disease outbreak? His dog and only friend got infected in a fight and he had to choke out the poor critter to keep himself from getting bit... Harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
