City of Lost Children! I own it, and watch it again and again. It is one of those dark scifi classics that for me is worthy to take its place with Dark City, Blade Runner, and Brazil.
: Happy birthday Steve!
: Here. I had to do this for a film class I'm taking. Guess the film?
: There once was a madman named Krank,
: Who lived on a rig, dark and dank.
: But his brain, during sleep,
: Uttered nary a peep,
: And so he devised a mean prank,
: One that would’ve turned Jacko all green.
: (With envy, not surgery, I mean.)
: For Krank had a plot,
: Which involved tiny tots,
: And weird, otherworldly machines.
: But his plan did not play out so neat,
: For he failed to foresee little Miette,
: With her friend they called One,
: Who could lift several tons.
: Together, they brought Krank’s defeat,
: With help from the diver, of course,
: Who, it turns out, was really the source,
: Of the man we call Krank,
: And the brain in the tank,
: And the whole sordid bunch, gone off course.
