With a miniature benefit from Neil Gaiman’s masterful writing, and Dave McKean’s able artistry and direction, the Jim Henson Company makes a fantasy-filled return to the silver conceal.
I was a expansive fan of The Labyrinth and, even more so, The Murky Crystal in the `80’s. The suitable puppetry work combined with human characters was a fresh belief, far beyond Sesame Street, and formatted more for the adult who has a kid’s mentality. I was engaging to search for how The Henson Company might have advanced in the intervening years, and I wasn’t disappointed. Gone are the puppets (to the chagrin of some) and in their area are CGI screens that boggle the mind – a living tapestry that slowly trundles by.

Creating mask shots that mimic a painter’s canvas, this movie is pure eye-candy (believe Alice In Wonderland meets Van Gogh) . Although the opening few minutes felt more TV-esque than magical, they were rapidly whisked away by the sumptuous middle and ending of the film.
The story: Helena, a teenage circus performer along with her mother and father, is having the usual surges of defiance. She doesn’t want to be in the circus anymore, and she and her mother have a heated argument in which Helena wishes her mother dreary. And during the evenings performance under the grand top, Joanne, Helena’s mother, collapses and falls into a coma. It is quick discovered that she has something seriously rank with her (although it’s never defined, a brain tumor is easily surmised) . Helena is riddled with guilt over her scandalous words and falls asleep one night, and wakes up in a world of muted colors and magical creatures. Giant stone beings, masked love-interests, idiot cat-sphinxes, and a growing darkness that threatens to envelope this alternate world.
As Helena moves her procedure through this queer land, we originate to understand that she isn’t asleep nor dreaming. This is precise. But she’s traded places with another, less likable Helena who is destroying her life aid in the “normal” world. Helena sees this “other her” through the drawings she’s done that decorate her bedroom wall. She looks through sketched windows, watching helplessly as the “poor” Helena argues with her father, makes out with a boy on her bed, and generally wreaks havoc.
It is soon discovered that the reason the world the ample Helena now inhabits is falling into darkness is because of the imbalance created by the trading of places by the two Helenas, and our heroine has to salvage something called the MirrorMask to aid situation things just. The search is a puzzling heroes dash that pulls her deeper and closer to a wickedly sunless queen. Helena struggles with growing up and becoming a stronger person as she walks, runs, and flies through this surreal landscape, trying to pick up relieve to her family and, most importantly, to her mother’s sickbed.
This is a big movie for adults to pick their teens to. It’ll give them something to discuss as their children grow and have to face the muted colors of adulthood.
[The film is now playing in runt release at many art theaters and comes highly recommended]
This is a comely, splendid, mind-blowing movie.
It seems criticisms of this movie are stemming from two basic complaints: first, that the fable is unoriginal/derivative; and second, that the movie is all visuals, no station. The first complaint misses the point completely. The whole point of the myth is that it is ARCHETYPAL. It deals with fundamental human issues of identity, growth, shaded and light, valid and noxious. To complain that an archetypal fable is unoriginal is like complaining that an apple doesn’t taste like an orange. To have completely unrelated expectations is to be disappointed.
The second complaint is once again an exclaim of counterfeit expectations. A distinction must be made between film as pure entertainment and film as pure art. These two genres sometimes co-exist, of course, and there is a spectrum in between. Yes, this is a visual movie. It is self-consciously a movie intended to present film-making as a visual art, which it first and foremost is. When appreciating a painting, is the central shriek the painter’s choice of subject matter? No, it is technique, execution, mood, conclude. Who decided film is only successful or gracious if the site entertains us sufficiently? Seems to me that is rather a shallow, provincial and self-absorbed viewpoint.
For goodness’ sake, leave your expectations and preconceptions at the door and fair salvage this movie offering at face value. Complaining about what it isn’t (and isn’t meant to be) is pointless and a extinguish of everybody’s time. Peruse it and be pleased it for what it is: a classic, archetypal legend beautifully retold in an exemplary indicate of film-making as a visual art develop.
