rymenhildSaw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban last night. It was, on the whole, very well done. The sets were much better than those in the previous movie. I liked the cinematographer's constant focus on clocks, gears and sundials, especially when the movie neared its climax. Emma Thompson was a fantastic Trelawney, and David Thewlis's Remus and Gary Oldman's Sirius showed me portions of their character I never would have imagined -- but that absolutely fit. (I wasn't quite so fond of Peter Pettigrew, however.)
For most of the movie, I was thinking to myself that the movie really supported a Remus/Lily pairing more than a Remus/Sirius. I was considering this at the moment that Remus was about to transform, when...
Wait, did Sirius really just grab Remus in a full-body embrace and scream, "This heart is where you truly are! This heart is where you truly live!"...?
Yes, he really did.
I suppose that's still subtext... but not that subtextual.
See also the scene near the end where Lupin talks about "people like me."
