@genderenigma8276 Жыл бұрын
@@bana-nice Death is the loss of someone's active presence in the world. In the author's terms, it means their character arc is cut short and they can no longer interact with other characters. To many people, it's difficult and one may wish to avoid it, to think "They never died," but if you ignore their death, ignore the fact they've passed, you also ignore their presence in life. To deny their passing is to deny their existence.

I like the attention to detail in the ancestors' motions, behaviors and even parts of their instrumental introduction. It's not as readily noticeable for the pilgrim and the saloon girl, at least not on the musical side, but starting with the conquistador the musical cues seem to become a bit more defined and associated with different ancestors. For the conquistador there's a consistent rattling noise almost like a ratchet to go with his spinning motions, almost like clockwork. As the lamenting bride approaches, the drums in the percussion take on the beat of the opening trumpet chords of the "Wedding March"; the soldier has a more defined tone and rigid melody and percussion, which is shared by the next ancestor (from the looks of it, the nurse). The flapper naturally has a 20's-sounding riff to match her dancing, and the Native American and caveman have an emphasis on the drums in their portions, followed by the fluttering of the wind instruments in the last ancestor's showy dance moves. It's little things like that that add to the atmosphere, love little touches like this.
@forgottenboy97783 жыл бұрын
I know this is old and I know this is so small but the ancestor in the bustle I believe came from the late 1700s instead of the 1800s. And the nurse is actually a 50s/60s flight attendant!

It's always those little touches that makes me love productions so much, be it theater or film.

My least favorite thing about this show was the lack of a good villain. The plot is cute and all, but it's very cheesy. The movies were good because it juxtaposed the sweet but macabre Addams family with evil humans that were somehow far more insidious than they were. The wedding thing should have been a b plot.
