Jareth has the power to shape shift into a. He is a main character in spin-offs to the film including Return to Labyrinth and Labyrinth: Coronation. Jareth is the film's main antagonist, and also appears in much of the tie-in material produced to compliment the film, including its novelization. Jareth, the Goblin King (played by the late David Bowie) is a character in the 1986 movie Labyrinth.
Really think about all the work that went into this scene.Bowie wasn’t always a cert for the role of Jareth the Goblin King, but like all the best casting decisions, it’s now impossible to imagine it otherwise. The Magic Dance was one big special effect. There's even a photo of David Bowie hiding in the scrapbook of her mother's acting career. While his hair remains the same for most of the film, it does gain some blue highlights during the memorable ballroom scene.At the start of the movie, Sarah's room has a figurine or doll of pretty much every character she meets later in the movie. His wild, blond hair is both iconic and recognizable. To be fair, it’s his leggings that spark the great majority of fuss, but we’ll come to those.Jareth is a popular character played by David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth.

One thing’s certain, had Jackson been cast in a role requiring him to kidnap a baby boy then spend the rest of the movie thrusting his pelvis at a fourteen-year-old, we’d be watching Labyrinthwith expressions of wide-eyed horror, rather than teary-eyed nostalgia nowadays.A project like Labyrinth 2 is an enormous creative undertaking, and the Derrickson-Levin team will no doubt benefit from the continued involvement of Jim Henson's own children and David Bowie's.
Anyone will tell you that’s not a stellar beginning to a courtship. Jareth’s pushing 40, Sarah’s 14 and he clearly wants to, ahem, live within her.When Sarah first meets Jareth, he performs some lacklustre close-up magic and fiddles with his balls a lot. Since we’re not familiar with how social sexual mores work in the goblin kingdom, perhaps we shouldn’t judge.
I’ll insert a quick warning before we start. Gulp.Songs aside, let’s move over to our heroine. “Within You” is as good a hymn to a sadomasochistic relationship as there’s ever been, and the cheerily upbeat “Underground” reads like it’s been written from the perspective of Joseph Fritzl.Let’s not even mention the line about the love injection.
Like a lot of young ’80s fantasy movie characters, she’s a romantic soul who prefers books, stories and her imagination to the real world. You’ll thank me, I promise.Sarah, then. Or at least turn it off about half an hour before the end.
She learns that fairness rarely plays a part in how things work out and you can’t always rely on what you see.Sarah’s route to adulthood is a convoluted trek through a magical world where normal logic doesn’t apply and nothing is what it seems, a bit like your first Glastonbury.The labyrinth turns out to be a surprisingly bureaucratic place, a kind of live-action videogame text adventure where you have to ask precisely the right questions before you can get any useful info. During her coming-of-age journey, she’s repeatedly faced with choices to make, left or right, up or down, but is given no information to assist her. I blame Ronald Reagan.In Labyrinth, Sarah is told she’s too old for her toys and games, that it’s time for her to put away childish things. They’re a little bit messed up, these kids. All three characters have lost their mothers, are isolated from their peers and retreat into invented lands built from the stuff of their own damaged psyches.
David Bowie S Labyrinth 2 Series As The
At the end of Matt Smith’s first series as the Doctor, Doctor Whoaudiences saw a world created out of objects found in a young girl’s bedroom. Sarah is Wonderland’s Alice, she’s Snow White, she’s Max from Where The Wild Things Are, but most of all, she’s Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz.Just as Labyrinth wears its influences on its sleeve, it’s hard to tally up everything the film has influenced in turn. It all but lists them in a travelling shot around Sarah’s bedroom at the start of the movie. Labyrinth isn’t one to hide its sources. She’s given a basic introduction to extrapolated logic from some Scottish jesters, and finds that her potential helpers are more likely to start arguing with their hats than give her useful directions.Again, quite a lot like your first Glastonbury.Things aren’t always what they seem in this placeLet’s not beat around the bush, nothing about Labyrinth‘s story is original, nor does it claim to be.
When they protest, I want to butcher a line from another 1986 classic, “That’s not a treasured childhood movie,” I’d say, pulling a VHS tape of Jim Henson’s goblin-fest out of my fringed leather jacket, “ That’s a treasured childhood movie.”This article originally ran on Den of Geek UK. My fanboy arrogance just won’t admit that Home Alone, Jumanji, or The Princess Diaries could ever be to them what Labyrinth is to us. Impressive doesn’t even begin to cover it.Every now and again in my life, for no reason at all, I need youThough I know it must be true, I find it difficult to accept that children of the nineties or noughties could feel for their childhood movies anything like the passion our lot feels for Labyrinth.
