    The movie is a hygienically digested version of the book, somewhat like a sanitized collection of Begbie's anecdotes to tell your mother or sister before introducing him to her. It's like Jaws with a dolphin instead of the great white one. In the book, there is much more death, hatred, racism, sectarian violence, and more characters that are either omitted from the movie or molt into one. Tommy's death was actually the death of another character, Matty. The reason why Tommy got infected and nobody else did was Tommy wasn't doing junk with Mark's crowd. The goriest scenes from the book would not have been permitted into a British movie not then not ever. Like the one of Mark whistling ''Foggy Dew'' at the army funeral of his older brother Billy who got killed by the IRA in Nothern Ireland serving in the British army and Mark's subsequent confrontation with his Protestant mother's relatives and having sex with his dead brother's pregnant girlfriend in the bathroom. Spud's half-Hindu uncle being beaten by a group of skinheads. A man infected with HIV stalking and making friends with the junky dying of AIDS who raped and infected his girlfriend just to kill him in the cruelest way possible. Swannie begging in the street impersonating an amputee from the Falkland War after having his leg removed due to drug-induced thrombosis and taking money from a mourning old lady who lost her only son in the war. The list goes on and on. It simply couldn't have been filmed as it was written. Same as the real culprits never get tracked down all the way to the Parliament. Or the Senat for all it's worth.

  • @adamgorelick3714
    @adamgorelick3714 5 месяцев назад

    Sutherland's character is blind to the validity of his second sightedness and led astray by this denial. Heather becomes distraught when she 'sees' John's { Sutherland } empending death. Unlike Laura, John distances himself from the tragedy. But to lose a child is to lose a part of one's self. So in addition to denial of his second sight he is also cut off from the part of himself that grieves. Both neglected aspects turn deadly in John's muddled, unconscious drive for emotional and cathartic resolution. Despite his stolidly pragmatic views, in the end John persues his own death in the apparent apparition of his daughter. The first few minutes of Don't Look Now function like an overture, containing a condensation of the narrative and themes. It remains one of my favourite films and though I don't consider it in the horror genre it is one of the most unnerving films I've ever seen. I've read a good deal about Don't Look Now, though, and it seems unlikely that those who have analyed or discussed it - including Nicholas Roeg - would not mention this interpretation if it were a valid one. { As a side note, the machine-like noises in John's approaching death scene are uncannily reminiscent of the sound design in David Lynch's equally great film Eraserhead [ 1978 ]. }

    Is not the entire movie a premonition of his death? At one point he sees his wife on a funeral barge with the sisters , I believe? There are many other little clues pertaining to his death throughout the film.

    Thanks for making this thorough analysis. I think this movie might have inspired the first Silent Hill game; as you pointed out, Venice here serves as a limbo for our protagonist. Same way the town in the original Silent Hill is the place where all fears and sorrows are manifested vividly. Thanks again, and best wishes from Iran.

    I actually saw this (my favorite movie of all time) in a theater when it came out in '67, with my older brother.. It was a double feature with another great film "Wait Until Dark"..I was 10..I am 67 now, and all these years later it still sit's atop, for me..Though, I must admit, had not made the connection you make here. You make a good case.

    The Tommy seen in the movie is actually a combination of two characters from the book being Tommy and Matty McConnell. They both die, but Matty is the one with toxoplasmosis after buying a cat for his daughter. The obituary the priest reads out is from Matty's funeral in the book

    Watching as a kid the whole thing with Tommy horrified and really upset me. It was the tragedy of seeing the person who was healthy and vital diminish so horribly and so completely. It’s not just that he died a junkie or even the AIDS, it’s the abject loneliness, alienation and vilification he must have gone through that sticks in my mind. The disease itself engenders no pity, empathy or compassion, especially where addicts and gay people were concerned. Tommy is the face of many a young life, snuffed out in isolation and agony., I hope they all found the peace and harmony which eluded them in life 😭 ❤

    symbolism of eggs / easter, which is the time of resurrection and renewal of spring. 2 Miracles performed involving food. Feeding the masses from his plate. Throwing out the moneychangers in the opening scene of the film. The shaking bush that speaks. Luke is cast among sinners (convicts). He converts them, as well as restoring his own faith. The mother figure, Arletta, which means oath. Luke is a biblical name. He sings Jesus song after her passing. His trial of 4 nights in desolation/ and he holds up the dead snake that the Man with No Eyes/ Death shoots. side note, Death carries a cane, much like the Egyptian gods, there are many parallels between Jesus and Osiris. The shot of Luke on the cross of eggshells, perfectly positioned to look like jesus on the cross combined with his ascension on the two crosses at the end of the film with two angels that Dragline literally tells us are two angels, ends all discussion on the matter. Luke is Christ.

The pace of the movie is perfect and the ending is too! I love this movie so much!

    I saw this on a double bill along with 'Night of the Living Dead' with my older brother and a cousin at The River Theater in Guerneville, Calif when it was released in 1973. (I was 8.) I was then left at the local cemetery by my brother and cousin late at night when the last movie was over. When I finally made it back to the house and told my aunt Donna what had happened, she smacked my brother so hard it broke his nose. "Don't Look Now' is a brilliant film that takes a few watchings to grasp it all.

    I would add to this at the 7:00 mark, the passing of the money is a part that only a junkie or former junkie could ever understand, with opioids all that matters is having them. For Mark, he is giving Tommy the money because he knows that in his new world... the money means nothing, some bread, some milk, paying a landlord... but in Tommy's world that money has an entirely different biological meaning. As someone who has gotten off a 500mg morphine a day habit, I often say "if I lose my wallet and someone uses my card or takes my cash - I want it to be a junkie down on their luck. Because I know they will appreciate it more than anyone else." It is messed up but you know that a few quid only goes so far, but a Junkie makes it last, take 20 quid off me, I know they'll be thinking "Wooaaahhhh-weeee I can get heroin AND eat food tonight." As the movie shows this compulsion is stronger than feeding your own child, the Junkie is the most selfish, the most giving, the most understanding, the most narcissistic of all gods creatures. I don't miss it, but I do look back with fondness, much like Renton glad to have survived it, glad to be done with it, but it is an entirely different way of life few can truly understand.
