Addams Family Values

Reviews

Surely most normal families would take such negative wishes as a huge insult, but this family will only smile in response and consider such a phrase as a sincere compliment. Although it’s difficult to classify them as normal, because if they were choosing the craziest family of the year, they would definitely take first place. But they are little concerned about other people’s opinions, since for them there is nothing more important than the well-being of their own relatives. Director Barry Sonnenfeld was lucky enough to immediately burst into cinema, returning to the screens the story of the unusual Addams family, whose life is a continuous adventure. By casting excellent actors who were willing to joke about death and wear tons of pale makeup, Barry gave a second life to the characters once created by the visionary Charles Addams. And with the help of his debut film, the talented director sends the viewer to a small town, whose boring everyday life is easily brightened up by the terribly cheerful and happy Addamses. “Hound us, quarter us, break our bones, but we will be back! And why? - Because we like it! “Because we are the Addamses!”

At the head of this family are two spouses madly in love with each other, in whose hearts the fire of passion continues to burn even many years after the wedding.
Morticia and Gomez Addams are perhaps living proof that love to death is not a myth. And although their approach to raising children is very extravagant, they always remain loving parents and welcome any strange ideas of their children. Actors Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia perfectly took on the roles of Mrs. and Mr. Addams, creating a vibrant duo whose performance is not without elegance and charm. Other members of the family turn out to be no less extraordinary. The newly found Uncle Fester and the potions-obsessed Granny Addams, with their unusualness, only confirm that weirdness runs in the family. It was not in vain that Christopher Lloyd took the risk of playing an unlucky uncle who constantly gets into adventures, risking the lives of all his relatives. Without his naive Fester, the Addams' life would be much more boring. Actress Judith Malina also did a great job with her role, because her crazy grandmother’s sense of humor can only be envied. The most unusual member of this family is not even a person, but only a part of him. The Thing running around the house, performed by the hand of Christopher Hart, is considered a full-fledged hero of the story, because she always comes to the aid of her friends and worries about each of them so much, as if she really has a heart somewhere. And the silent butler Larch of actor Karel Streiken adds a certain afterlife aristocracy to the family. The younger generation is in no way inferior to the older generation, constantly blowing up something, hanging someone or frying them in the electric chair. These kids can scare anyone half to death, which is basically what they do successfully in their free time. The gloomy girl Wednesday and her serious brother Pugsley preserve the traditions of their family, turning all ideas about childhood innocence upside down with their devilish tricks. Christina Ricci was ideal for this role, showing with just one look that if you don’t want to become the main character of her next experiment, it’s better to stay away from her. And young Jimmy Workman tried to keep up with her. The film is rightfully considered a classic of black comedy, a genre that modern filmmakers are consigning to oblivion. Barry Sonnenfeld, already at the very beginning of his career, knew how to make even such a dark story witty, a little fabulous and, nevertheless, not forgetting to focus on family values. One can only envy the family relationships of the Addamses, because no matter how strange they are and completely do not fit into the landscape of their hometown, they know that there is nothing in the world more important than their family. Decorators, costume designers and make-up artists worked hard to create a gothic and at the same time comedic atmosphere. Their hands created real works of art, among which one cannot fail to note the family mansion - this building is ideal for the characters in character, with all its dusty secret rooms, traps and a cute cemetery in the backyard. In turn, the writers tried very hard to come up with an interesting plot that will present the family with many surprises and challenges, although the Addamses are not so easily intimidated. The ideal crazy family will teach you how to have fun and tastefully spend time.
