| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The Labyrinth's Winding Ways |
| "Labyrinth" is one of the fantasy movies classics of the '80s,forming a triumvirate with "Krull" and Jim Henson's other classic,"The Dark Crystal." "Labyrinth",in a sense,is the strange middle child. It is in between the childlike fantasy of "Dark Crystal" and the more adult themes of "Krull." A young Jennifer Connelly was starring in her first trippin' film, preparing the way for "Requiem for a Dream","Dark City" and "A Beautiful Mind." How fitting one of her first movies would be about a preteen trying to figure out reality.
"Labyrinth" is about a young girl,Sarah (Connelly) who doesn't want to take care of infant stepbrother,Toby. She calls on goblins to take him away;Jareth (David Bowie),the Goblin King,obliges. Suddenly, Sarah regrets her decision&must venture through a labyrinth to save Toby. "Labyrinth" has more mature themes than children might realize (but it's kid-friendly)There seems to be a mutual attraction between Sarah&Jareth. David Bowie plays Jareth ambiguously,as a seducer,a friend,a villain,and a father figure. He even injects some glam rock into the movie. There's a Freudian quality to Jareth&Sarah's relationship. Jareth's final speech is quite moving,since he tells Sarah all he wanted to do was please her.He comes across as an unrequited lover. The conclusion is rather strange;Sarah rejoices with her friends from the Labyrinth. One can say she has reconciled everyday life with her fantasy life. "Labyrinth" stands as a timeless fantasy masterpiece. It comes as no surprise that Peter Jackson considered David Bowie for the role of Saruman. The Glam Rock Master of Orthanc,indeed. Jennifer Connelly balances childlike qualities with more mature ones. The Muppets&production are fantastic. "Labyrinth" is a trippin' journey worth taking. |
