THE CROW (1994)

Unexpectedly sweet horror movie set in a bleak town. Brandon Lee is the son of Bruce Lee in real life and does a really great job in the lead role as Eric Draven AKA The Crow. (RIP Brandon Lee)

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trigger Warning Sexual Assault, Rape, Flashing Lights, mild incest(?)

This movie is rough around the edges but I think that makes it all the more endearing. There are wacky camera shots, wacky costumes, wacky characters, Hell, sometimes the main guy will just be up on a rooftop wailing on a guitar between scenes just to be cool. How did he even get equipment up there to play (it's an electric guitar)? I don't know but he did it! And then he smashes the damn thing and gets serious about killing. Anyway, here is the story.

One year ago on Devil’s Night (the night before Halloween) Eric Draven and his fiancée Shelley are murdered in cold blood for trying to help get/keep housing for the needy. This year, Devil’s night, Eric Draven rises from his grave only to learn what happened to his beloved and get revenge. First visiting his old home he finds it in tatters, memories flood back, he remembers dying. The sickos left the cat alone which is the only good thing they did. Eric dawns some makeup, his mask, and he becomes The Crow. It should also be mentioned that there is a crow familiar that aids, guides, and/or follows Eric.

Slowly and steadily Eric makes his way through those who harmed his love, they all have silly names but serious attitude problems. After disposing of the trash, a calling card in the shape of a crow is left for whoever finds the victim. This leaves police baffled but warns the only members of the crew left that death is coming for them. Eric wants them to know. He even lets one of the minor offenders live just so the guy could be a messenger that Eric was coming (dearly departed, Eric, that is). This is all sending shockwaves up the killer crew, who don’t want to believe in ghosts but are having a hard time with all the evidence being presented to them.

Eric finally just shows up, absorbing bullets and walking around like a certain X-man, kicking all sorts of ass. The long haired baddie takes his creepy sister (is it really his sister?) and escapes. Eric has finished his vengeance, or so he thinks, and is ready to finish his dirt nap but the long haired baddie calls him out by kidnapping Eric’s kid friend, Sarah! This time the baddies realize that if they shoot at The Crow familiar they can actually hurt Eric so they do and they can! Yikes! Wack! But Eric isn’t just going to lie down and die… Again… No, this time he keeps fighting, his injured crow pecks the creepy sister's eyes out and she falls to her death. 

Last but not least is a rainy rooftop battle with the long haired baddie, there's a sword, Eric grabs a piece of the building to swing around, it was a pretty intense scene. All hope seems lost when Eric gets run through with the sword but then he turns around and sends the memories of all his sadness about Shelley dying into the baddie. All that concentrated sadness at once was so shocking to him that he fell off the roof and died! Wack! But a nice use of those horrible memories! Sarah is safe now, she will miss Eric but he is really ready to die again. And who better to greet him than Shelley, she welcomes him back as if to Heaven (her arms) and when we pan out we see their graves undisturbed. Really a beautiful story about an avenging spirit who was brought back to do a job. It may look a little silly in some lights because of the face paint and names but this is a love story of Eric and Shelley who were to be married on Halloween but their lives were cut tragically short.

a while ago me n a couple of my friends were talking about our postal lore and somehow managed to make an angel and devil au out of it which has spiraled into its own sort of world its awesome. anyway here are the uncle daves from that.

I have more but they're mainly doodles thay need a lot of context 😭

he's an angel with a God complex* as in he thinks he ought to be in charge of everything so he can purge humanity and start over. he's got a Covent of angels who also worship him like he's God so that's where the whole cult thing translates into.

Poetry in Movies and Television: The Crow (1994)

The poem Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) misquotes when he breaks into Gideon's (Jon Polito) shop is from "The Raven". Eric says:

"Suddenly I heard a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."

"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

You can watch/listen to the full poem on my channel by Xander Berkeley or James Earl Jones

When T-Bird (David Patrick Kelly) recognises Eric, he quotes from John Milton’s Paradise Lost:

"I knew you. But you ain’t you. You can’t be you. We put you through the window. There ain’t no coming back. This is the really real world, there ain’t no coming back. We killed you dead, there ain’t no coming back! There ain’t no coming back! … Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is!"

Paradise Lost, Book IV, [The Argument]:

“Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss”

The quote is from the end of the movie:

“If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.” --- Sarah/James O'Barr, The Crow

Music: Jane Siberry - It Can't Rain All the Time

Arise from the ashes

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

Pt I good omens but i've never watched it

i've never seen good omens but it's all over my tumblr dash so this is what I've gathered can someone please confirm if i've got it right

there's a demon named crowley

there's a biblically inaccurate angel named aziraphale but like it's very sexy when the demon calls him 'angel'

the demon and angel have been married for 6000 years and they still keep looking at each other all sappily

Neil Gaiman is somehow involved, I think he's the writer but also he's on tumblr (uh, @neil-gaiman) and people keep questioning if he's real

is neil gaiman like a fandom inside joke why is everyone asking if he's real

there actors are called michael and david and amazon prime thought they were the same

there is a bookstore and crowley is sad

they kiss and it is very nice and desperate and crowley says we could have been us. i have no context for this. someone is going to heaven i think.

there is a god, i'm not sure if they're good or evil though

the demon wears sunglasses

it's a comedy but for some reason everyone's crying after whatever the last season was, are you guys okay

things are on fire

they are very gay

there was a book and at one point they switch bodies

more fire and crowley screaming

they are called ineffable husbands i dont know what that means

they fight crime or they do crime or they fight crime by doing crime i really cannot remember which

gay
