I thought it was a good ending. I think it is very interesting how people
can dream of things that they fantasize about in ways that they would never
even consider doing in real life. It's like a release for the evil inside,
without actually being evil.

I WHOLLY agree! I don't think there's been a movie that bad (with such promise
- didn't Jennifer Chambers Lynch author ((or maybe co-authored in light of
seeing how atrocious BH was)) the Secret Diary?) released in my lifetime. A
pity but maybe a blessing: I'd hate to see her try to follow in daddy's
footsteps for too long. Let's hope she's learned a lesson.

Yo! I'm one. I thought that this was one of the most twisted pieces of film
I've ever seen, and I LIKED IT!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The relationship
that developed between the two was stretching things a bit thin, tho'.

I agree totally. I can't imagine any man falling in love with anyone who
is as big a bitch as Sherilyn Fenn's character, much less mooning over her
and lusting after her the way the doctor did. Both of their characters were
pathetic.
This movie was pretty bad, IMHO. The only exciting part was wondering how
in the world it was going to end.

I just saw Boxing Helena. It wasn't bad (it was certainly different)
but I was disappointed with the ending. Oh, boy, it never happened!
What a cop out. Is this supposed to be Lynch's idea of a happy
ending? I would have preferred something more bittersweet where she
has to deal with living the rest of her life that way. I haven't read
any other opinions of this movie to avoid spoilers. What's your
opinion?

As most people seemed to do, you missed Jennifer Lynch's point of
using the "it was all a dream" cop-out. It is partly your fault but it
is mostly Lynch's fault. The dream was set up to do one thing: make you
feel cheated. The film's focus was on manipulation. First with the
woman on the doctor and then vice-versa. To attempt a little "virtual
reality", Lynch made almost the entire film a dream so the audience felt
cheated and manipulated. It worked wonders as most people *did* feel
that way. Unfortunately, most people missed out why.

surprised when I saw it. Before I saw it, Jennifer Lynch had been
interwieved by Norwegian television. The local newspaper had a rather
big article about her and the movies. One of local radios arranged a
"Lunch with Lynch" while she was in Norway. The first weekend the movie
was shown in Norway, it was very popular, but I think that it was shown
just two or three weeks.

anybody else but the daughter of brilliant David, this film would probably
never had gone further than the video-market. So dont worry about spoiling
anything for anybody, theres nothing to spoil.

I have to agree with this opinion. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. Not
that Fenn's performance was that bad, but I think I expected a LOT more
from the daughter ofa genius. (Not that she could quite fill his boots
anyway :-). I don't know. The music sucked up the butt in a BIG way
too. When he was being a peeping-Tom, I wanted to scream, "Not that music!
Pick something more sinister!"
Oh well...I'm not a director, but I saw many things in the movie that I
would have changed.

Aww, c'mon...you mean to say you didn't like the HILARIOUS montage of
the "couple" in the garden, in the kitchen, etc.? It was just like the
send-up "falling-in-love" montage in Naked Gun, but DOUBLY hilarious with
Sherilyn Fenn as an amputee.
It's a terrible film, but there was more laughter and applause
(especially when Sherilyn got hit by the truck...) in the theatre where I
saw it than with any other movie I'd ever seen. On the big screen, it was
quite the hoot.

Falling in "love" with someone who appears to not give a crap
about you is very common. Ever hear that Morrissey song? 8)

Gee, I felt the same way after seeing "Attack of the Killer Tomatos",
but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. Both films had about
the same amount of intellectual content. I though Jennifer Lynch's
point was to illustrate that 20 year old rich kids with no life
experience can't make good movies.

to fall in love with us never do, while the ones we really could care less
about always do. :-) Of course, perhaps men would complain about the same
kind of thing happening to them.
At any rate, this falling 'in love' with someone as nasty as Sherilyn Fenn's
character can't be all that common. Jeez, I would _hope_ not, anyway.

Finally a post from someone who has something insightful to say about this
film! I saw it, and found it interesting. Far from perfect, but
interesting nonetheless, and worth watching. The ridiculous relationship
developed is perfectly PERFECTLY like the foolish fantasies that weak
personalities indulge in regularly.
I'm getting really tired of the happy-ending perpetuation whining that goes
on every time there is a film that leaves the audience feeling unsatisfied.

I think the actions Julian Sands' character partakes in (and fantasizes
about partaking in) are a whole lot more characteristic of a straight
obsession with a constructed fantasy personality: That is, he sees what he
wants to see, and, obsessing on that precludes her real personality. I'm
sure he THINKS he loves her, but it's doubtful that he does.
As to how common it is, who can say? Lots of people fantasize about others,
and some of them definitely carry it to a harmful degree...
Robert Perlberg
> Gee, I felt the same way after seeing "Attack of the Killer Tomatos",
But "Attack of the Killer Tomatos" was a much better film. The ending
doesn't really count because it was a laugh riot all the way through.
"Return of the Killer Tomatos" was even better. The cartoon series was
mostly disappointing, although it did have its moments. (One of my
favorites is when Dr. Gangreen had to show some identification and he
produced a Fox Kids' Club card.) It was a great showcase for the
talents of Maurice LeMarche. And I always like to see John Astin get
work.

All the actions that the characters made in BOXING HELENA could
have easily been taken out of real life. If not for the dastardly events
but then for the emotional ties. This was just a weak-willed (on both
parts) relationship taken to the extreme. And what more are films then
everyday life taken to the extreme?

I should have asked this earlier, but how did being "cheated
and maniuplated" relate to the plot? Did Lynch state this
as being her intent is an interview so something?

Some of the actions of the characters could have been taken
out of real life, but the sequence of actions could not have
been. The characters in this film did not in anyway reflect
the personalities of real individuals. You would not find
the same set of personality traits displayed by the male
character in a real surgeon (he would never had made it
through medical school). The woman character is also too
one dimensional. SPOILER!!! Her responses after the accident
are completely inconsistent, but of course it's his dream! ACK!!!
And then again the dream is not consistent with the personality
of his character. The only thing that these characters are
representative of is the imagination of an upper-middle class
college girl who hasn't experienced much of life.

Hey, I thought it was a very happy ending.... I was so glad it was over!
My unsatisfied feeling stemmed from not the copout/cleverly thought out
ending, but rather from the generally poor acting and directing. This
humble opinion comes to you from one who admires Sherilyn Fenn at least as
much as the next guy. Yes, even she disappointed me this time. Has she
been even remotely believable in anything other than the first season of TP?
Respects,

two questions:
1. Why is an attractive intelligent and successfull Doctor who has a
beautiful fiancee so obsessed with a woman who treats him so shabily?
2. Why am I still watching this movie?
In real life I believe it is a very rare case indeed where someone
with enough intellectual fortitude to complete Med School exhibits so
ridiculously
inappropiate behaviour. This is not to say that intelligence or education
exempts one from criminality, it is just that the premise of this movie
BITES!!!

I have to disagree with you about Sherylin Fenn's acting. I thought she
saved the movie. I think it must be very difficult to play a limbless
woman, and she was certainly convincing. Her initial reaction was great!
I think she's been believable in a lot of movies: Just one of the Guys,
Meridian(aka Kiss of the Beast), Diary of a Hitman, Ruby, Crime Zone,
and who can forget her excellent portrayal of a Southern Belle in Two Moon
Junction? "Darlin', don't you ever take a Southern woman for granted."

Overall, I thought that was a pretty bad flick, but Fenn was great
as Candy Kane (a fictional character) -- she was cute as a button
and sassy and smart. Every time she appeared my TV screen really
lit up. She was not just another dyed blonde.

: saved the movie. I think it must be very difficult to play a limbless
: woman, and she was certainly convincing. Her initial reaction was great!
: I think she's been believable in a lot of movies: Just one of the Guys,
: Meridian(aka Kiss of the Beast), Diary of a Hitman, Ruby, Crime Zone,
: and who can forget her excellent portrayal of a Southern Belle in Two Moon
: Junction? "Darlin', don't you ever take a Southern woman for granted."
: OUCH!!
Well, I definitely agree that she's worth watching. Meridian is the only
film you mention that I have seen, but I'd like to see more. From what
I've heard, these films may not be the best, but I think I would enjoy
them :). How does one come by a copy of "Meridian" (for example)?
Regarding TMJ and, apparently, Ruby: why, why did she have to go blonde?
Yuck!
Oh well, happy hunting...

I agree totally...Ruby was not a particularly great film, but Fenn's
performance kept me watching...same goes for Boxing Helena...

* I reccomend maybe "THREE OF HEARTS" or "OF MICE AND MEN". I think she
looks horrible in blonde hair. Now, if she'd only come and live with me...
