Daily Dialogue — September 26, 2014

“Victims, aren’t we all.”

— The Crow (1994), screenplay by David J. Schow and John Shirley, comic book series and comic strip by James O’Barr

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Vengeance, suggested by Jon Raymond.

Trivia: James O’Barr stated on the Crow DVD that when he met the movie’s executives, they originally wanted to make this a musical staring Michael Jackson. He immediately laughed uncontrollably thinking it was a joke, only to find that they were quite serious. It was only until Brandon Lee and Alex Proyas came on board that the movie took a more serious role.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The line has layers of meaning. One of them: The character seeking vengeance is not only a victim of whatever crime against them, they are also a victim of their thirst for revenge because it rules their life.
