Face it, nobody did it like Brandon Lee. He has always been one of my favourite actors. I liked him in Showdown in Little Tokyo and many others.
I agree, the Crow is a GREAT film. Great music, great acting, great plot and very reasonable. It even seems believable enough, though it will hardly happen. Well I think so anyway (being brought back to life), but that would be very nice to do. But...
With the face paint and the black designs and white face, no. Other copying it, no sorry you can't rock the make-up. Eric Draven did not do that by choice.
The make-up used was the white and black his love Shelley used. The mask was a feter and part of what connected him to the world of the living, thus giving him strength and his memories- fueling his anger.
In the second the "other" Crow, used his childs face paint which was something he remembered. Sarah just painted the design used by Draven and also it was a trademark of the film.
It is alright for them but I will sadly laugh at others who paint up their face in such a way. It is just sophmoric unless it is for a purpose such as Samhain/Hollows Eve/Halloween. It was symbolic originally and then became one big joke.
Horrorgirl and Wolfmoon gave me that inspiration. I concur.
I think I will watch the Crow soon.
