Y.I.J. Witch

I ask U as a witch, watch it 1st (get the gist) then show it to your kids...

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is one of my favorite witch movies of all time. No, not movies about witches, silly, A Movie that began inspiring me in youth to see the magick in everyday life which I can only explain as "embracing my witchhood." D.A.R.Y.L. was one of those special films of childhood that a child will bottle up somewhere in his or her consciousness. Then, at an appropriate time, if life is fair, some of those feelings will come rushing back into him or her, perhaps around his or her 20s when the freedom of being in college (or some similar landmark of early success) will help him or her envision what it would be like to bring up a child, one of the unique moments of what makes us human! At the time it was made, it was carefully crafted (I theorize, of course) to fit into the "great movie for the son who plays Apple IIe / Commodore 64" genre (but parents, this is one of the most important for a daughter to see - a girl should be exposed to both "son-centric" and "daughter-centric" philosophies. One more thing about this --> show the great movies to your daughter and let her make the decision. Don't try to monday-morning-quarterback this.) NOW, as for the review of D.A.R.Y.L.? As the movie was playing on the rinky dink 20" TV (in the late 80s, early 90s a large screen TV suffered from burn-in so Nintendo couldn't be played on a large screen and bigger TVs cost a fortune), I forgot about all my troubles. It was another world. And for today's parents, it can be a powerful tool to share with the future daughter and future son witch leaders of America. However, 1st, fathers and mothers, it is really important to watch the movie first. Draw up a list of questions (and a list of theoretical answers your child might ask you). The questions can be tailored for a daughter (the movie has a few moments where the concept of children crying is discussed and after the movie is over you can ask the girl what she would do if she saw a boy cry at school, for instance). OR the questions can be tailored for a son --> "did the videogame D.A.R.Y.L. played look fun to play?" OR "That aircraft D.A.R.Y.L. flew can fly so fast it can cause a sonic noise that can smash windows if flown near the ground!" Now, I realize today's kids have a short attention span for old movies, so you may need to do some coven-number13-witch-leader type bargaining to get them to watch it! Witch parents, I promise it will be well worth it, because there are few films that help a kid see that crying is OK.

Good 80's film for the whole family.

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I had forgotten about this little 80's film until I ran across a reference to its Marvin Hamlisch score at a film score website. I remembered it as a good film and had to see it again three decades later. It holds up nicely. It was one of a number of science-fiction and fantasy films aimed at kids that came out in the wake of E.T. That film had been conceived as a no more than a kid's sci-fi flick and given a ten million dollar budget, about one half that of Close Encounters. When it became a mega-hit and made 400 million, it spawned a series of youth films like Explorers, The Flight of the Navigator, The Neverending Story and The Goonies.

Unlike some films aimed at kids, D.A.R.Y.L. can be enjoyed by adults as well. It's neither too silly nor condescending. The plot requires you to accept the concept of a boy who is actually a kind of a bio-formed robot with a computer for a brain, and there are a few plot devices you simply have to accept, but it's worth it for the fun of the film. Daryl gets away from his military makers and ends up in a typical American 80's suburb in South Carolina (though it seems it could be anywhere). With a super mind, remarkable baseball talent and a piano playing talent to rival the young Mozart, he amazes the foster parents with whom he is placed yet never seems too much. In fact we come to see Daryl as a real, if special, kid. Of course people are looking for their lost experiment and this sets up a dramatic plot.

The film is very well made, directed by Simon Wincer, who later went on to direct Free Willy. The acting is believable with Michael McKean, Mary Beth Hurt and Josef Summer in the lead adult roles. Barret Oliver is completely believable as Daryl and I'm surprised he didn't have a bigger career in film. He has become well-known as a photographer. Hamlisch's score serves the film well. It's good that the producers didn't succumb to having an 80's pop song soundtrack, which would really date the film. As it is, with the exception of the lack of modern computers and smart phones, the film feels quite contemporary. of course the clothes, hairstyles and Atari games definitely show its time period, it's nothing too heavy.

The plot is just believable enough, and everything Daryl does in the later part of the film has been previewed in the first part. It's all been well thought out. This is a sweet, heartwarming film that goes by pleasantly. "A machine becomes human when you can't tell the difference any more".

which sucks, because you can get your dose of evil ...

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2015

A classic! From the short period of time where a few naughty words were OK in a kids movie, and the wonder of modern computers was still mixed up with the abject paranoia of all things government and tech. I am thinking this may get remade soon... which sucks, because you can get your dose of evil corporations, evil government, and heroes that steal top secrets to save the day (all while NOT looking to make a ton of publicity like some secret thieves we may have heard of). Go ahead, give it a shot. Sit back, relax, and pretend that there is a chance in hell that a magical story like this could happen. Yes, the plot is a bit of a stretch, but it was the 80's, so coke was big in Hollywood, what do you expect, reality?
