Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Say it once, say it twice, say it … no!
I saw “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and it’s been a long time since I had this much fun at the cinema!
I’ll start from the premise that I’m a fan of Tim Burton and I love “Beetlejuice”, which is without a doubt the film I’ve watched the most times ever. There was a period in the 90s when I knew practically all the lines of the Italian version by heart, but only when I bought the DVD in the 2000s and watched it in the original language, was I able to fully understand its brilliance.
But, precisely because I love this film, on the one hand, I was happy for the sequel and, on the other, I feared that it could disappoint me, after more than 30 years of waiting (the film is from 1988, but I watched it for the first time in the early 90s).
Fortunately, this was an unfounded fear.
To prepare myself properly, a few hours before going to the cinema I rewatched “Beetlejuice”, also because maybe 15 years had passed since the last time, and it is something I recommend to anyone who intends to see the sequel. If you have never seen the first one, you have to watch it, because there are too many connections and it’s assumed that the viewer knows them. But, even if you have seen it, it’s not a bad idea to renew that memory a little.
