    It's perplexing how this movie didn't do well in the box office. It was such an effort of love with a level of world building and narrative not seen since Tolkien's time.

    This is such a great scene. In just a few shots we learn everything we need to know about the Skeksis: they're decadent, they're cruel, they hold themselves higher than all other life, they despise each other, but are obligated to dine together nonetheless, hinting that they are traditional folk.
    Show, don't tell at its finest!

      You can also learn a lot from each character individually by paying attention to their individual mannerisms.
      Skekekt and Skekzok are the only ones using finger utensils, showing they have a bit more elegance and higher table manners. Especially Ekt who never has food sticking out of their mouth when eating.
      But Ekt is also making a lot of noise over eating one piece and freaks out over the loose Crawlie and shying from Augrha showing how delicate they are.
      Skekzok also looks at Skekung with a look of confusion at one point, showing he's the most likely to make the "sit up straight for thra's sake" comment.
      Skektek tries to steal some food off Skekshod's plate showing impatience and envy, even calling the treasurer a slimeball when he was caught.
      Gourmand is obviously the sloppiest of the bunch, but Skekung- despite being Emperor- has the mannerisms of a dog like when he tosses rotten food behind him and dunks his head in a water bowl just to shake the water off.
      Love minor details like this.

    I watched Age of Resistance, and you can really see the decay of the Skeksis.
    Before the Gelfling genocide, they were loud, rowdy, gobbling food exciting, even having Podlings play music in the background.
    Now, they’re quiet and almost lethargic. They don’t talk much, only screaming incoherently when food is taken, but they give up just as quickly as they start.

    I like how the Ornamentalist is the only one with good table manners. I also find it funny how they threat Aughra like an unwanted house guest rather than an intruder. The Skeksis hate the Mystics and Aughra, but they cant kill them so they're just like: ''Not this bitch again.''

    one of the genius aspects of Jim Henson was that he was able to take some otherwise truly scary and terrifying creatures like the Skeksis and suddenly make them a bit less frightening with a scene like this.
    Its one of the most memorable scenes easily from the film and all it is are a bunch of vicious dragon-bird like villains eating with bad table manners, they slurp, burp, gulp, chew loudly, squabble between each other, and suddenly the vile devious skeksis are much more goofy :)

    I actually like this scene as it shows them eating, which is what they're implied to do on a daily basis- a relatively mundane action that any person does. It does very subtle things that you being to notice once you're older- it shows that they're not actively trying to plan atrocities on a daily basis whenever they're on screen all the time, the Skeksis are just being themselves and do a regular thing. It adds a layer of normality to them that is not related to the plot, which most villains don't do nowadays.
    Also, the fact that they're able to eat with each other at the same table means in spite of their differences, they do value each other's company or at the very least, can tolerate who they don't like long enough to enjoy a meal. This either shows a hidden layer of decency or pragmatic intelligence, since if they were as one-dimensional evil as they actually were- there would've been just one Skeksis left if they backstabbed each other the entire time.

    • @Turnajon
      @Turnajon Před 7 lety +14

      It's different in tone from THE DARK CRYSTAL; the former film is a bit more morbid and deliberately serious in nature (not that it's a bad thing -- it's actually a refreshing change of pace), whereas LABYRINTH is a bit of humor and drama. I think both are unique films in their own ways. I consider CRYSTAL the more consistent and tighter film, but LABYRINTH still has its eyepopping charms. And of course the late David Bowie is a great Goblin King.

      true, CGI supposedly makes things faster. but usually the use of it is just lazy and it looks like ass. when light doesnt reflect from the correctly or even from right direction, and how they interact with their environment without any weight in their movement and in unnatural ways. it takes a LOT to do CGI properly, the very reason why gollum in LOTR still looks good this day even tho the movies are soon 20 years old. because they went all out with it and even thought out skin layers and everything to make it best they could.
      which is why it is better that movies would use practical effects, because even if the practical effect is not very good thanks to low budget, it will still look better on the screen than shitty CGI that looks like home edit stock footage.

    This kinda reminds me of the Family, when I was a child, lol. Always love watching The Dark Crystal no matter how old I get. Took my younger sisters to see it when it came out. Then we saw E.T.

    This was my favorite scene as a kid, short of "Trial by Stone". I loved how the Skeksis ate, being taught manners then. Wow! They don't need table manners!
