Never
has an entertainment event brought more anticipation and excitement
than the Unauthorized Full House Movie.. more than the Unauthorized
Saved by the Bell Movie, The William and Kate movie of 2011, or any
prequel or sequel to Sex and the City, or even unsubstantiated rumors
about a Breakfast Club reunion.. this IS it.. the ultimate Superbowl
of made for TV movies...
Viewing
on you tube, the scarce crumbs of footage available to the public,
one cannot wait to delve entirely and completely into the rich
material. Scenes where the unknown actors personify archetypal
characters Uncle Jesse, patriarch Danny Tanner, and sidekick Joey
Gladstone are so bad... and yet so good at the same time.
Let's
begin with the setting: the set itself is extraordinary...an exact
replica of the original EXCEPT for juxtaposition of the stairs...they
are of course on the wrong side of the living room. WHY?
And
next: the characters: These actors do not even really closely
resemble the real actors/ TV characters much at all. How is this
possible with so many tens of thousands of out of work actors in
Hollywood, waiting tables, doing odd jobs, and willing to do just
about anything to get noticed? There had to be better casting choices
than the ones we see here. That is a superficial but valid
observation. They don't really look like them, but yet still
personify them wholly and completely. The seemingly bad casting was
in fact, intentional.
Upon
deep analysis and shot by shot examination of the available footage,
one can only conclude that this WAS planned so very carefully and
intricately.. They are like them, but they are NOT like them. They
are not like them at all, but yet they ARE like them.
This
leads to a controversial and unorthodox proposal and theory...the
Full House Unauthorized movie is a blatant tribute to Dutch artist
Escher's masterpiece, Relativity.
This iconic work, appreciated disproportionately by mathematicians
and scientists, has an often overlooked intrinsic philosophical
value. The three gravitational pulls depicted in this work- are
clearly personified by Danny Tanner, Joey Gladstone and Uncle Jessie.
They are individuated yet fully integrated into the whole. The chaos
depicted in actuality possesses grave order. (chaotic family life
with three misfit dads and 3 sassy kids- who are in fact being raised
with solid values and deep unqualified attachment).
The
structure depicted in Escher's work is a version of Utopia, but the
human figures are doing ordinary daily tasks. . As normal physical
laws are defied, so we see stairways leading to alternate realities.
Reflections and mirror images abound which support the intentional
and focal misplaced staircase in our made for TV movie. The movie
itself a mere reflection of the original TV show and the show is a
reflection of an alternate reality... and again this leads to yet
another reflection and so on... and to infinity itself.
Such
ponderings are best concluded with the wisdom of William Wordsworth:
