Theatre lesson nr. 27 - Watchign the film Labirynth by Jim Henson

Reflection: What emotions or thoughts did the film evoke in you? Did you relate to Sarah's journey in any way?

While wathing Labirynth i felt many emotions like confusion, curiosity, and excitement. At all times the fantasy world of the Labirynth uncovered more and more strange creatures and magical places, making the plot interesting, as I did not expect what would be happening next. This also created a sense of nervousness because the reason for why Sarah is in the Labirynth in the first place, was to save her baby brother Toby. That was hard, as she was often getting tricked or lost in the path. The film also generated a bit of nostalgia related to my childhood. When I was younger, I loved Alice in Wonderland, had a themed birthday party, read books, visited a hotel, etc. When watching Labirynth i saw many similarities between these two stories. Both Alice and Labirynth tell a story about a young girl that finds herself in a magical world and has to find the way back while meeting strange creatures and animals. That connection evoked that nostalgia, as i miss childhood :).

As Sarah starts moving through the Labirynth she’s complaining, wating everything to be easier. She tells herself that she can’t give up and starts running, however the path she chose doesn’t seem to end. It looks like a never ending, straight path in between rock walls. That’s where she meets a little worm that’s tells her ‘nothing is as it seems in this place’, which changes her perspective. That’s how she found an opening in the wall and entered the Labirynth (however it turns out that if she would have been going the original way, she would have gone straight to the castle). Throughout her journey, she repeatedly that motive many times. Additionally, she learns the consequences of her choices, what she says, and that she is capable of facing challenging situations. She starts thinking about others too, becoming a more caring individual. I relate to her journey - how we wish to escape problems, however we grow and learn by facing them, becoming a better person. This is what IB has taught me - in the last two years i faced many stressful and uncomfortable situations but they made me stronger, less shy and more confident.

Symbolism: Identify at least two elements in the film (a character, place, or event) that might symbolize something deeper (e.g., growing up, temptation, choices). Explain briefly.

1. The Labirynth - represents the journey of life and more specifically, growing up with all the confusing paths, wrong directions and weird experiences. Each challenge forces Sarah to rethink her choices, choose what to do next and reflect on her journey so far, grow stronger. The Labirynth is a reflection of how teenagers try to figure out what they want to do in the future, what mistakes they shouldn’t repeat and what are their take aways, as well as decide about practically everything at such a young age.

2. The clock - represent time that passes quickly. It reminds the audience how life keeps moving forward, no matter if we are ready or not. For example, at first, Sarah doesn’t want to take any responsibility, but when the 13 hours that she is given by Jareth to find the way into the castle start, she doesn’t have time to figure things out. We have to make important decisions and wisely manage time, as it doesn’t last forever. It also symbolises the pressure that students may experience with school deadlines - we’re not ready, but we still have to finish the task successfully.

Fairy Tale Analysis: In what ways does Labyrinth remind you of a traditional fairy tale? Think about characters (hero, villain, magical helpers), the journey, and the ending.

Labirynth resembles a fairy tale (structure) in may ways. Sarah is a hound heroine that has to rescue her baby brother, Toby, from the Gobiln King. Like fairy tale protagonists, she enters a magical world where everything is different, and she has to be brave in order to successfully rescue her brother. Characters like Hoggle, Ludo💗, and Sir Didymus can be considered as magical helpers in trying to solve the labyrinth’s while overcoming challenges and many dangerous situations in order to reach the castle. Jareth is a typical villain: powerful and tempting. The story follows the hero’s journey, where Sarah learns important life lessons, and succeeds, through courage and self-growth. In the end, she returns home along with baby Toby.

I wonder... do you also have set of locations in your dreams that appear every now and then, sometimes even after a few years of not showing up?

If so, do you retain some memories of the previous 'runs' within the dreams as if you were playing a game you've played as a kid? With solutions to puzzles, mechanics and enemies?

I visited one of such places today. I was chased along with some of my old classmates and professors into an old building by some soldiers. That part was new. We entered and by trying to walk around and hide, we somehow ended up in an old, haunted labirynth-like building - I recognized it when I saw enemies gathering down the hallway. A group of female dancers in red outfits. I knew where we ended up and what was awaiting on the lower floors - a huge worm in an old sewer systems that somehow had barred windows showing the light from the outside. And while I don't remember ever dreaming about the dancers, in my dream, I knew how to make them not hostile. So, I must have dreamt of them in the past, right? I knew to tell them that me and other people are not going to disturb and steal from them or the worm. They stopped moving and stayed in their places, allowing us to pass next to them. And I knew I had to stay with the group while passing through any door and archways - otherwise, I'd be transported on my own to the sewers. It happened in the past countless times, but I don't recall ever getting out. And for the first time, we actually left the building. And actually ended out outside of that building we entered initially - it rarely happens.

Ok, I do remember SOME mechanics - I had to jump on some huge-ass buttons while I was being sliding down a sewer waterfalls. I don't think I ever managed to properly do that part, I have no clue what is next. Freedom? Even lower level with unknown enemies? I know that in the sewers, even if I move to lower floor, the windows are always there, always just below the ground level. I know it makes no sense, but it doesn't have to.

I am unsure if that building is connected to another labirynth-like location, where I have to run through countless staircases, corridors and tiny rooms. But I do know I also retain some memories of how to navigate to not get caught that easly.

There is also a 'castle' location that I know I dreamt at least 3 times - and the last time I dreamt it, I solved t rightaway, knowing exactly where to go to find The Thing. It was a few years ago, and I'm wondering if I don't dream of it anymore because I finished the game?

What if, by leaving the buidling this night, I 'finished' that dream and will never visit it again?

... damn, if I knew how to make games, I would make it into one.
