A non-stop romp!

For the past 5 years I have seen this movie in bargain bins, picked it up, looked at the price (usually 5 or 6 bucks) and tossed it down, thinking I'm sure there is something more worth my while in the bin. Well, As I moved on chronologically to the second movie in the wonderfully priced [[ASIN:B000V3JGII Coen Brothers Gift Set (Fargo / Miller's Crossing / Barton Fink / Raising Arizona / Blood Simple)]] I was surprised to see that this was actually a movie of my childhood. In fact, I never realized that this fun movie was actually Raising Arizona, as it was always one of those movies I just happen to catch on cable dozens of times, never in the beginning. As I watched it this time, probably the first time in ten years, it all came back to me. Just as an old video game, in all its levels and enemies, comes to you if you were to play it now, I must have said, "Oh yeah!" in my brain about 20 times.
Though, filled with 70's and 80's colors, this movie somehow leaves you with an impression of rather vibrant colors, no doubt the handy work of Barry Sonnenfeld. The scene where John Goodman and William Forsythe are bombed by blue paint in the car, not to mention there scenes screaming as they escape prison and screaming as they realize that they have forgotten the baby. The color of the Arizona Family's nursery also echo's in the brain after the movie is long over.
The acting, well, your so tied up in the whole situation, that this does not even cross your mind. And so I believe it's safe to say, all the actors did a terrific job, though Cage and Goodman stood out for no other reason than, it was simply the nature of their characters.
The yodeling/folk music is perfect, though I had a flashback of watching the end scene as a child, where Cage's character is dreaming. Though the mood is serene and he is dreaming of his future and everything is perfect, I felt as a child as I do now, that the music is slightly creepy and scary. I was also slightly afraid of Randall "Tex" Cobb, but now his character simply becomes such a great part of the movie comedically. |
