Has anybody watched "Lifeforce"?

Post by Phobos » Tue Feb 19, 2019 11:50 am

I´m just wondering if anybody watched that rather obscure movie.
(It´s based on the novel "space vampires")

Besides from having a rather confusing storyline there are some similarities to LTROI, which i think are:

- the ambivalence of the beauty
- a Girl, that´s not really a Girl
- a man that loves a creature that everybody whants to hunt down.
- lonleyness
- desire

here´s a Wikipedia Link:

"The female is only wounded and returns to her ship with Carlsen in tow, releasing a burst of energy that blows open the dome of St. Paul's. The two ascend the column of energy to the spaceship, which then returns to the comet."

Thus completing what Herman Goering failed at--the destruction of the London icon.
“For drama to deepen, we must see the loneliness of the monster and the cunning of the innocent.”

The first good reason I've seen for having a TV. Not quite enough to get one, but...

I just saw the trailer, such a strange movie but looks interesting. You know what other thing that just came out I'm surprised no one has talked about yet it. The Umbrella Academy. Not nearly as good as Stranger Things, but still a good watch.
