I'm really surprised by the overwhelming hatred of this film. I loved it. I prefer it over Interstellar and Inception, I find these 2 a bit convoluted and too tv-ish episode of the week scifi.
I was surprised he was her brother too, he looked old enough to be her father.
So are you guys suggesting that in her supernatural comatose state of 400 years, she simply heard a song playing on the radio/tv/wherever and liked it enough to keep playing it as her anthem? What if she liked a Guns N Roses Song? One Direction? Madonna? LOL!
I also wondered why one particular song keep popping through the radio when she was supposed to have lived 400 years before the song came out.
But that doesn't explain the trauma inside her body which are not reflected outside nor the tattoos on the inside of her skin but not outside. Those all seem like supernatural elements to me, as well as what happened to both father and son, so whatever the explanation, the girl was clearly tortured, wore a corset, and there is a supernatural mystery about her.
All the better that the film is a talkie but has the atmosphere of silent gothic films. Thanks, I'll check it out!
I don't know how they can accept them, it's like an itch I want to scratch - discussing films I've seen, lol!
I will do my part though usually I don't start threads. I have however created 2 threads on 2 older Tyrone Power films but there really wasn't a point to it than just making one up so the boards on there weren't so empty. :)
I've never seen the 1931 Dracula film, I'll give it a go. I find many films of the 20s & 30s have a gothic quality to them. I've been thinking of watching some Rudolph Valentino films, I haven't seen a single one but I'm trying to convince myself to give it a go. Silent films are something I need to be in the mood to watch as they're so silent, lol!
Well, I'm from the Philippines and they never showed it on cable here. Also those shows came out before I was born but tbh I don't think my parents watched them either, although my father may have seen an episode or 2 of The Addams Family I think.
I have seen some older tv shows though that I used to watch on cable, I have a romantic nostalgia for the past. i feel like I was born back then and was reincarnated, lol! I have seen a number of these older shows:
Star Trek (original)
Father Knows Best
I Dream of Jeanie
Bewitched
I have a question for you? Do you prefer the first 2 films and portrayal of the characters in the 90s or the original show still? My introduction to The Addams family were through these films and I have a nostalgia for them.
Oh yes, I meant cousin It! I always have long hair though once in a while I'll get an urge to chop it all off and have extreme boycut. So I too used to do the It impression after watching the film but lol, I also used my long hair to imitate scary white ladies (like those scary Asian films with scary ropey long hair).
I can't believe I mistook The Thing (the hand right?) for Cousin It! Sorry.
True. The community seems barren here but also in other IMDB replacement sites. I wonder where all the IMDB posters went, where did they go? When I watch films, I immediately want to go to IMDB but recall, "oh it's gone now." Then I check every replacement IMDB and they're so empty! Don't other users miss it as much as I do, they must've gone somewhere. is there some secret site IDK about? LOL!
I love the macabre nature of the first 2 Addams films, it seems like some otherworldly place I'd love to visit! Which is why I think of the 20s as it seems so alien so distant, so silent, lol!
I'm here as they added this first film on Netflix, and thoroughly enjoyed it! I hope they will add the second film as well!
Watching this has made me want to read or watch some silent dark films that remind me of Gomez tbh.
Did you used to watch the tv show? I never did but I have heard of it like I have heard of Gilligan's Island but never saw an episode.
Maybe Thing is just an eccentric shy vertically challenged man who like Howard Hughes grew certain fibers through extraordinary lengths, in Thing's case, his hair. LOL!
I love Morticia's clothes and makeup btw, I wonder what their life was like in that house. Like a vacation perhaps.
Wow, someone actually replied! I thought I was alone on this site! But I come here for the archival messages and pretend someone will reply to my replies.
And lo and behold, someone did! LOL!
I love them in the films as well, their chemistry is smoking hot! I love how this is a kid's movie yet their scenes and bdsm innuendos borders on a rated x. You can imagine what they do in closed doors, if they're this hot and passionate in a PG film, imagine if it was R rated.
BTW, the elf kid here is the snotty one I think in the first Jurassic Park film.
The mustache and cigar are just staples from men back in the 1920s & 30s where Gomez is clearly extracted from - the Latin heart throb who played various exotic ethnic groups to woo women into mortal sin.
No that was Steven Bauer. The actor here is Raul Julia.
Velcro is correct, it's an old Hollywood trick from way back then. You'll notice they use it more frequently and more obviously for Femme Fatales.
A lot of these characters like Gomez harkens back to 1920s Hollywood.
Gomez is more of a staple of the Latin lover popular in the 20s & 30s like Rudolph Valentino that every woman went gaga for back then. He was the Latin heartthrob caricature hence his first name is Gomez, lol, very obviously generic Latin.
Check yt on who Rudolph Valentino was or watch American Horror Story season 5.
Omg, Village of the Damned! I remember him from that film not that you mentioned it, he was so sweet, cute, and adorable in that film. The white hair and white skin with grey clothes suited him and made him look eerily innocent.
I thought so too but I recognized the actor from The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Heroes. The actor is 5 years older than the actress but he usually looks more boyish or younger. It's funny though how hair can age or make someone look younger. I bet if they both had hair, he wouldn't have looked so much older than her. But the bald head and no eyebrows made him look more mature and looked good on him I thought. While the same bald hair and no eyebrows made the girl look her age or younger.
Just saw the film today and though I liked it well enough. It did seem superficial and obvious in trying to manipulate the audience.
