While they may do remake and I will certainly not look forward to it, this Crow will always mean the world to me. I think I told someone that there are not enough words in the English language to adequately describe my love of this movie.<br /><br />As a fellow ardent fan of Brandon and The Crow, I appreciate the wonderful comment you left.I am so happy that your were finally able to read this in the midst of a big move and everything. That means a lot. <br /><br />I love that you have all of the memorabilia. Believe I have a poster and the graphic novel. I remember all the interviews and the articles in magazines everywhere when the film was released and the waiting in line for two hours to get into a show. I lost count of how many times I went to the show and there was the VHS copy I wore out as well.<br /><br />You're right, this movie's impact will never be diminished in spite of remakes. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-31125578788976934032012-07-28T13:23:16.510-07:002012-07-28T13:23:16.510-07:00I absolutely agree with the masterpiece sentiment ...I absolutely agree with the masterpiece sentiment and I'm very happy you liked my Shakespeare comparison.

And here I was thinking th...What a great read, Mel! And here I was thinking that I was the only one who felt so passionately about The Crow.<br /><br />I remember clearly going to the movies when I was 13 years old to watch it. I remember it being rated MA15+ meaning that you needed to be 15 and over to watch it and I lied my ass off to get into that cinema! Nothing was going to stop me from watching it.<br /><br />What I was on-screen blew me away, impressed me, and inspired me to learn as much as I could about the film. I was already a Brandon Lee fan from 'Showdown in Little Tokyo' and 'Rapid Fire' and felt absolutely devastated when I learnt of his death during the filming. <br /><br />I felt that it was such a great loss when his role as Eric Draven would have become the role that would have defined him and set him up for bigger things. Much like the tragic loss of Heath Ledger and his immortal role as The Joker.<br /><br />I watched 'The Crow' that many times on VHS that I actually lost count after 33 viewings. I watched it so much that I could quote the entire film.<br /><br />The most appealing aspect to me was that it was a story of how love will conquer all. It may not be the first film you'd think of when you mention "love" but it is the driving factor in the movie.<br /><br />I tried to collect as much memorabilia as I could once every scene of 'The Crow' had seared itself into my memory. I sought out; the graphic novel, t-shirts, making-of books, posters, standees, magazines with interviews, action figures, soundtracks, and other assorted things.<br /><br />I love this movie. I will never forget this movie. And nothing, even sequels/remakes/prequels/tv shows will ever diminish the impact that 'The Crow' had on those who were lucky enough to be inspired by it.Russell_LDNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095654337621571505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-59678849896172829122012-07-24T04:23:08.980-07:002012-07-24T04:23:08.980-07:00The Crow, was a masterpiece and certainly can be c...The Crow, was a masterpiece and certainly can be compared with the majesty of Shakespeare, as you have said.
