Healing comes from nature, and from within, in the wake of sacrifice and assault, in the wake of fundamental shifts in the world. The first time, it is an eerie raid of a lively party, in the relics of ancient genocide. The second time, the survivors bask in crystal-reflected light, after both willingly offered to give up something important for something more important. One offered life for the world, the other the world for life. They achieve symmetry in this moment, and the consequences are further symmetry, light through the crystal, fragmented but perfectly shaped. Life and death are intertwined here.
As a philosophy, the New Age ideal of balance seems distorted more often than not. Without infusing this interpretation…
This is so much more compelling and poetic when you've watched the series. What's that you say? A prequel that adds depth and context to the original? I can't fathom it.
Obviously an outstanding technical achievement, don't get me wrong, but at times so diabolically slow it feels more like a travelogue than an adventure. And impressive though it may be I just hate the design. Sure, let's build this richly imagined, intricately detailed fantasy world only everything is old and gross.
if jim henson was still alive, this movie is proof that he would have LITERALLY SAVED HUMANITY FROM OUR OWN SPIRITUAL DEMISE !!!!!!!!!! my eyes want to eat this movie up for the rest of my fucking liiife
everyone acting like going braless is some modern trend when aughra was doing it in 1982
