Thank you, AmeriGirl26. Dark versions of fairy tales are fun, but this is not about a level of violence. The point is that Lefou, his friends, and the guy from the asylum are horrible people and should meet their deaths in this movie.
Thank you, OuterSpace. I have never considered that person because of viewing the wardrobe jumping as simply part of the fight. Realistically, he would be dead, but we're probably supposed to assume that he survives due to the nature of the scene. You are missing that I'm not referring to a numerical matter. I mean that Lefou, the two guys who follow him, and the man from the asylum all deserve to die like Gaston does.
Thank you, HellFire. If you look at the whole character, then yes, he is. However, I'm not saying that the performances of the other actors are inferior. Those just have more specific aspects.
Thank you. Yes, that is it. The movie is difficult to find and deduce. Good work!
Thank you, wositelec. No, the movie is from the nineties or eighties.
Thank you, jacotodd47. I couldn't find a collective choice among any of the actors who played Batman. Adam West's portrayal of Bruce was debonair. He had the kindest and calmest rationality for the character, and managed to bring humor in to the man's high education. Michael Keaton had the best balance for Batman, though. He delivered the intimidation that Adam West lacked without carrying the melancholic weight that Robert Pattinson did, and avoided the nonsense that Val Kilmer brought to the screen. The last actor was much too immature as Batman and Bruce, but that matched the very childish nature of <i>Batman Forever</i>. Regarding Catwoman's physical abilities, I agreed with you, but Julie Newmar was better at showing the villainess' sexual obsession with Batman. I also shared your view about Penguin. Frank Gorshin as Riddler was something that I hated. His air was acutely uncomfortable, and laugh very obnoxious. Paul Dano successfully reached the point of the riddling freak: a deranged yet analytical man with a morbid interest in wild violence and psychological games.
Thank you very much, ccr1633! Yes, scary and freakish things appear in this film. <i>Eyes Wide Shut</i> demonstrates that regardless of its sound, there is nothing amusing about treating sex as a party or means for cash. Both are an outrage and quickly grow dangerous.
Thank you, SandyR! I appreciate that you understand my observations.
On the contrary, einstein, it's a major matter in the film, and I'm very surprised that anyone who has watched this would not grasp that. The story is saturated with warnings about inappropriate relations.
SandyR, there is hypocrisy in the behavior, but it has come with the territory of other problems. The chief fuel is that Alice has never felt secure as a wife and grown to believe that her marriage is collapsing. She is struggling, in a very childish way, to get her husband's attention. It is emphasized that Alice and Bill are not mature enough to be married, which lends itself to one of the strongest messages of the movie: be careful with sex.
Okay, maybe that could count as an invitation, but Jerry appears as a man in his forties despite being centuries old, so his shoving an identification card in to the face of the doorman would be suspicious. Perhaps the vampire would <i>not</i> be let in after that. Nonetheless, your scenario creates for me a funny image of Jerry wanting to throw his suaveness and smugness about in every way and proving to the world that he belongs anywhere the instant that he wishes to be there.
Thank you, Ranb. That is a decent thought, but asking permission for entry is not the same as being invited inside, so I don't believe that it would work for a vampire.
Thank you, George. Yes, it is.
Whoever has created vampires has made the rules about the nocturnal specie. Fictional creatures need laws so that we know how to present them. They would not serve their entertaining purpose if their lives were constantly morphed because then we would be unable to recognize who or what they were.
Thank you, Zarkoff. Your joke makes me ponder something. If there were such a sign, then it would be a playful assertion, so would Jerry have to take it seriously? He would know that the staff don't believe that vampires are real which might invalidate the warning.
Thank you. That is another way to view the matter. However, I think that it would be more fitting for the rule to apply to all indoor places, and in some stories about vampires, that is the case.
KaiMaster, yes and no. Those things happen, but are not shown. The final scene is a hallucination that Rose has as she is dying. She is aware that she is about to see Jack again and her brain is creating an image of how she knows him. The appearance of the bright light in the ceiling is the instant that Rose passes away because it represents heaven.
Thank you, DoctorThirteen. That is not true for me. Rules should be consistent. Those are part of the appeal.
Thank you, Syb. That might be the suggestion in this film, but it doesn't make sense. I don't see why it matters if the place is private or public. The point is that an establishment is still an indoor facility, unlike a town square.
It's actually <i>easier</i> to give set rules to creatures when they are fictional, but there are always going to be arguments among writers. This isn't the first instance of a disparity that I have seen along the line of vampires. In some movies, a cross must also be a crucifix to repel the people of the night, but in this one, that is not required.
