Labyrinth is a movie that I can literally use to trace my personal development. The first time I watched it I hated Sarah because she was too similar to me (to be clear, too similar to me at ten, not fifteen) and hated that she and Jareth didn’t end up together and didn’t understand why they hadn’t. The second time I watched it I understood that Sarah was growing and changing as a character, and that’s why she’s such a brat at the beginning, and why she couldn’t stay yes to Jared when he asks her to at the end. I also didn’t get how wonderfully, gloriously, hopeful the ending is. Think about what a great, progressive, positive message that Labyrinth ends on; that you do not ‘grow out’ of magic but can keep it with you.
Also, for those of you playing at home, yes, I have always shipped the inappropriate fierce young girl with the older, more emotionally open man. (I shipped Nick and Cassie from the trailer, people. The trailer. I remember watching the trailer and going ‘I don’t think they want me to ship hot older guy with inappropriately young multi-colored hair girl, but I totally am.’)

I HEARTILY AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS.
