My favorite scene is after she eats the peach!

[Rhea]

[Mashiara Sedai]

I am so torn!  Jareth as a character is so intriguing to me!  I mean, I love the message, “You have no power over me.”  Young girls need to believe that!  It’s a powerful message for them.  

 

But then why make Jareth so sexy and desirable?!?!?? Hahah. 

[Mashiara Sedai]

I suppose it’s the same as Snape.  He’s a terrible character, but Alan Rickman is the love of my life, so my feelings of devotion transfer to the character.

 

Davis Bowie is just cute and popular and charming, so I feel the same about Jareth.

[Mashiara Sedai]

And I adore Jennifer Connelly.  She’s amazing!

[Rhea]

Right! There are a lot of powerful mesages in this movie.

 

Things are not always what they seem.

Give people a chance.

What do you do when things are not fair.

Sometimes all you need to do is ask.

[Rhea]

Saying no to desire when its not the right thing can be difficult. I think that is a big part of this movie.

[Rhea]

ps...I loved Snape. From the beginning!

Yes!  

 

Though I’m afraid I got a different message as a child.  I totally gravitated toward a handsome villain willing to give the woman he loves powers.  Not the best mindset growing up.  

 

Kinda damaging for my early relationships.  Lol!  Luckily I grew out of it.

[Rhea]

I wold love to know how the 4th graders would see it!

[Rhea]

I was 17 when this came out...so I felt very drawn to Sarah then. When you are teenager everything is unfair!

*lol*  I was 3. But I remember watching it a lot as a kid.

Is it on Netflix? I missed this!

[Mashiara Sedai]

Unfortunately, it's not on Netflix.  :(   You may be able to rent it on Amazon Prime or Hulu or Vudu.

Aww I'd love to do another watch-along where I'm awake and online XD I think I'm going to watch Labyrinth tonight regardless. It's possibly my favourite movie ever. I've been watching it since I was real little. Jareth will forever be the absolute best bad guy.

Feel free to post your thoughts as you watch it BB!
