Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Great movie changed by screenings
'Little shop of Horrors' is a great film which combines successfully different genres such as black comedy, horror, and musical. Comedic performances are outstanding; songs work as both singles and narrative resources, and special effects (puppetry) still stand the test of time (almost making the actual CGI standard look unreal). The director Frank Oz couldn't release a sad ending which took his team a year to film; but now that it's available in digital video, you can't help to wonder why artists in Hollywood can't have their cake and eat it too. Remember the dream sequence in 'Terminator 2'? That was suppose to be the fate of humanity on the film; but characters try to change it and we got a happy ending. Why couldn't the filmmakers of 'Little Shop of horrors' present a false ending (the original sad one); the happy ending (the one that got released), and an ambiguous one as epilogue in the credits to remind us that the sad ending could be real? This is just a modest proposal to exemplify how the tyranny of making everybody happy leads to Hollywood to the same formulas and lack of imagination. A better world is possible (in fiction and the real world). Thanx for reading! See you at the movies!
