Eighties Child

200px-labyrinth_movie.jpgI remember being quite scared of David Bowie’s Nether regions the first time I saw the Labyrinth. It was quite traumatic as a seven year old to see that!! Other than old Dave’s dodgy mullet and Codpiece, this film is a work of genius!!! The film can be bought on Amazon.co.uk. Also available is The Labyrinth Soundtrack and the Poster.

l_worm.jpgSarah is the lead character in this fantastic film. (Played by Jennifer Connolly who is now a serious ac-tor!) She plays a young gir, her life is fuelled by fantasy and roleplay…She is tired of her young step brothers whinings she secretly wishes for the goblin king to take her brother (cue David Bowie in a very scary wig!) The film revolves around sarah searching through the Labyrinth and meeting may colourful characters along the way. She firstly Meets Huggle who is a revolting little goblin who likes to wee in ornamental ponds! She is also aided by Ludo who is a large beast, desprately in need of a jar of Veet!

The coolest little character is a feisty Yorkshire terrier called Sir Didymus, who is very faithful to his post as the bridge keeper in the pit of eternal stench. He hepls sarah a great deal. The Little worm is the cutest character in the film, this worm confuses sarah by sending her in the wrong direction and famously saying “If she had gone that way she would have gone straight to that castle!!” (In a cockney Accent!!!)  One of my favourite bits is the Red Fire monsters that look like fraggles, They try and take off her head and do a lot of scary dancing with crotch wobbling!  The Music in this film is beyond genius. David Bowie’s songs are all fantastic including the one where he chucks a baby around!
