Description

It's 1985. You're eleven. Your parents take you to see a film about unicorns, fairies, and princesses. Deep joy. For an hour you're bored out of your mind. Then she gets currupted. And, even better, Tim Curry walks on screen as the Lord of Darkness. Suddenly, you sit up. Something has happened. Something that a fairy tale was never supposed to do. Ridley Scott's Legend was written as a loss of innocence parable. For a generation of pre-pubescent kids, that's exactly what it was. This episode explores two legends. Tim Curry and Rob Bottin, the two men who built the greatest devil in cinema. #Legend #TimCurry #TomCruise #RidleyScott #LordOfDarkness #RobBottin #CultFilm #VideoEssay #FilmAnalysis #Moviedrome #MoviedromeRedux #DarkFantasy #80sMovies #PracticalEffects #FilmHistory
