Alright, so my boyfriend (Dreamy! ) bought me the deluxe wamadine edition of Labyrinth for my birthday.
Anyhow, I watched it with him that night and since he had only watched it once growing up he was asking me a lot of questions which got me to thinking.
What do you think Labyrinth isreally about? On the surface it is a kid's flick, but the more you watch it the more you see.
What I mean is, that the lyrics to the songs are quite telling, it seems that Jareth wants compainionship at heart and he doesnt seem to like his appointed (?) posistion as Goblin King.... he doesn't look like a goblin so maybe he is there against his will.... are we supposed to think that?
This Jareth/Sarah relationship that never was has spawned thousands of fan fictions over the years, so there must be something to it.
So, do you think Terry Jones and the Henson team wanted there to be subliminal sexuality to the plot or do we as fans see more than intended?
