This poster captures Joss's vision better than the movie,
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Wall Poster Print, 27x40 (Kitchen)
The idea for the original film version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" came from Joss Whedon getting tired of seeing all those blondes walking down dark alleyways in monster movies and getting killed. As Whedon explained later: "I wanted, just once, for her to fight back when the monster attacked, and kick his ass." The rest of the scenario quickly followed. This time the blond would have special powers and she would not be able to fit into normal society because of them and her new job would keep her from being what she wanted to be. To establish the incongruity of a blonde cheerleader being a vampire killer, Whedon settled upon the name "Buffy." The concept was offered to Kaz and Fran Rubel Kuzui, who agree to do the film if Fran Kuzui could direct. The Kuzuis sold the concept to 20th Century-Fox, who supplied $9 million to make the film.Unfortunately, the director had a different vision of the script for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" than did Whedon. For her, it was not a vampire movie "but a pop culture comedy about what people think about vampires." Of course by that standard the finished film is pretty lame because it really does not explore the vampire mythos to any degree. The film descends into camp, but if you listen to the script and get past the delivery by the actors, you can hear Joss Whedon's original voice and get a sense for what would be returned to and expanded when "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" became a television series in 1997. The point of the television version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was basically that "high school is hell," taking that metaphor and turning it into a literal parade of vampires, demons and other monsters representing all the angst and pitfalls of teenage life. However, this 26 x 40 inch movie poster for the 1992 film clearly represents Whedon's original twist with the blond cheerleader in the alleyway fighting back. That idea is certainly captured here, whereas the film's other poster, which features Kristy Swanson (Buffy) holding a stake while love interest Luke Perry peer over her (unbitten) neck, basically emphasizes Swanson and Perry (the tagline for the film was "Sometimes it takes more than just good looks to kill"). In fact, when you think about Whedon's original vision for the film, then this poster is a lot better than the finished movie.
