That's a movie I remember seeing when I was 12. That was 1982? I had learned by then what shetland wool is, how to roll up the cuffs on button down shirts, and to wear vests. Most of the time I was at church; saturday nights, sundays, and wednesday nights. Many ideas about ways to have meetings there - royal ambassadors, his kids, choir, so much of that. And I was doing well in the school, but horrified at those schools I think. My education was very nice in University Park (I only went to St. Mark's for one year, and then they decided to remove me, because it was embarrassing to Jack as a drunk driver). So, I was ahead at University Park, and then when we moved to Richardson I stayed that way all the way until graduation except that I did not graduate from high school.
Well anyway I did see The Dark Crystal at the movie theater. It's obviously Jim Henson's deal for Jonathan Harris.
I wonder if anyone sees anything in the "Augra" character idea. Gosh. At that time she was singing at that Elephant Faire?
The film is kinda neat about how rich they are. They show that there are 'good' and 'bad' jews, really those are overdone at the end as 'together' jews, much too highly intelligent for ugly weirdos, but nice of them to leave the pretty new castle.
It's interesting the way they get 'together'. It seems like they're implying a 'correction' idea with the beams from the crystal going through the rears of the mystics and out of their faces to the skeksis. I wonder if they have to think that way to get the film done, or to wake up, or tie their shoes. Must the 'gelding' be nothing but a mere place to put it freak? The jews who rule the whole thing are totally unimportant, and they don't seem to be in any trouble for murdering all the geldings. Or for slowly sapping their 'life essence.' What could be more evil?
I need to take some time to think it over, and rewatch a few more times.
It's a beautifully intelligent film in some ways of course.
I guess the winged gelding female is important as an "inferior" aspect of myself; the asiatic man and the higher intelligent magical person. That's there for everyone to look at and think a know idea. There's even a jewish 'toto' named fezzgig.
There's a lot of ultraviolet light in it. Yeah, it's about me. I went to the movies and saw that very film, made by Jim Henson, who never met me, and who worked out a visual poem about me, a puppeteer. Cool to have the dvd. I wish everything had brains.
