I loved Boya - he comes off as an innocent really, very gentle and introspective and there’s no real guile to the character at all. Very sincere in a non-annoying kind of way. The character of Earl is the guy living a haphazard life with little order or goal. He’s also an innocent just trying to get by and desperately needs someone in his corner to take his part. And that turns out to be Boya. I loved their relationship. There’s a sweetness to it. And Boya comes to truly care for Earl and I loved that. We’re all at some point in our lives Earl and desperately need a Boya to be on our side. Molly is a bit hardened with a tough outer shell but inside wants what any woman (human?) really wants and that’s to be loved deeply by someone. For a brief moment Boya fulfills both Earl’s and Molly’s relationship needs and I thought that was beautifully portrayed. If you do get the chance watch it.

I had the unfortunate chance to view this VHS years ago. I say unfortunate because while the anime is good and the story is good, it really deviates so far from the original looks as to be almost a totally different story. The original series casts KIM as the product of years at a Tellurian university, as well as being the product of a one line of careful breeding over seen by the mysterious ARISIANS who've guided the development of four separate races to craft them into the ultimate tool to fight their arch nemesis. If you do get the chance to view this do it before reading the original books otherwise the move falls flat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834465339688745310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-30099929690863225402019-06-12T00:39:55.839-07:002019-06-12T00:39:55.839-07:00Great post.thank you so much.Love this blog.Great post.thank you so much.Love this blog.Pathhttps://www.clippingpathquick.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-39103253372207216272019-06-11T14:00:04.645-07:002019-06-11T14:00:04.645-07:00I agree it was better than what the critics were s...I agree it was better than what the critics were saying even before it was released. I liked it, But I feel the story deserves the patience to develope in more than one film, that is the only thing I give Marvel Studios they took their time to get to the infinity stones story. Other than that I think is wrong to say a movie is bad just becasue it was not done by Marvel. I liked the action, what bothered me where some of the actors esoecially cyclops and nightcrawler I don’t know I did not like them very much.

What he sees is an opportunity to be with Lolita. It is implied earlier in the movie that Lolita and him had something in the past, they´ve met before (meeting a even younger Lolita, barely in her teens), and by the curious Quilty´s expressions, you understand what type of interaction they had. This seems to be confirmed by Lolita by end of the movie.<br /><br />I didn´t read the book, probably those things are preaty clear in the book, but I believe Lolita is not inocent by the time she meet Humbert, she still is a child, though, and grown ups around her should have known better. It is a very unconfortable topic, and I was, like you, expecting something shocking coming from Kubrick, but also got to the same conclusion, the times didn´t allow it and, like you said, the whole plot is pretty shocking as it is. The "love" triangle, the lost of inocence, two male mature figures completely in lust, in a way coercing a child. One is a "normal" man who is lost in lust (and by no means innocent), the other, a calculated man, a man of world, a manipulator, for whom sex is a limitiless pleasure (implied by the flirting scene with the hotel mananger and later the "artistic movie" situation), can easly see what is happening between Lolita and Humbert. <br /><br />Seller´s Quilty is an interesting character in the movie, sort of out of the movie flow in a way, but makes him a puzzle, like he is an interesting dangerous man. What an antagonist (or maybe is because I´m obsessed with Peter Sellers lately). The charm, inteligence and talent is what attracs Lolita, which sort of make her leave behind her status of victim, but she still is. <br /> <br />Also, it is unconfortable to have the story told by Humbert´s perspective most of the time. Some moments its seems like we should have pitty for him. Creepy. <br /><br />For long I wasn´t too eager to watch this movie. The topic and the "romanticism" that I percived in the 90´s version, just makes want to throw away my hope for humanity. But I watched it such a long time ago. I´m not sure if this Lolita history really works to bring awareness but to soften the situation and the little child own experience (which is not explored at all). When you are inmersed in the perpetuators point of view only, it kind of justificies and romanticies his actions, because he is doing that for himself. <br /><br />Thank you for your great review.

Smith estate (he died in the mid-1960s) did not authorize the film (or the subsequent anime TV series), nor were they happy that apart from taking the original characters and premises, the anime tried hard to re-engineer Smith's original story in the Star Wars mold. It's said that the Smith estate attempted to sue the producers when they finally discovered the existence of the anime, but the case got thrown out on some legal technicality -- apparently they'd waited far too long to instigate legal action in the case, or something of that sort. Anyway, that would explain why the anime hasn't had any sort of latter-day release in America on DVD, because a new release might open up a new avenue for the estate to pursue another plagiarism suit.

It makes perfect sense if you think about it, and his films (including this one) still retain that Monty Python vibe to them. It's what makes Gilliam, Gilliam in my opinion the mix of high art with low brow comedy. As in lets not take like so seriously and learn to have fun with it, because its all rather silly at times anyway.

BTW, its perhaps difficult to explain exactly why but i`ve always regarded Gilliams apparent lifelong obsession with Don Quixote as rather embarrassing and idiotic, almost as though he forgot all about the comedy that made him famous and decided to become a highbrow elitist semi art-house film-maker instead.
