Found on the IMDB 'Star trek V: The Final Frontier' forum....
QUOTE:
"The whole movie was a dream. Think about it:
- All the adventure happens between the camping scenes.
- The events of the movie are a reflection of Kirk's fears: being put back into action while he's unprepared, geting badly treated by Starfleet, losing his crew and losing, above all, his friends.
- Events from the camping trip are mirrored in the dream: the fall from El Capitan/the fall from the turboshaft, musing around the campfire/musing around the steering wheel.
- The broken and unreliable Enterprise is another fear of Kirk; that no ship can live up to the original.
- The movie follows dream logic: characters appear when needed (Spock in the turboshaft, Scotty in the brig, Spock in the BoP) and reality warps to accomodate the "story" (70+ decks, the mysterious wheel room, unicorns).
- Kirk ate gods for breakfast, so it's no surprise they show up in his dreams. The fight against "god" is Kirk's subconscious idea of a generic adventure. Likewise, a Klingon is his idea of a generic villain.
- In the end, Spocks saves his life, just like he saved Spock's.
When you look at the movie as a nightmare, a reflection of Kirk's subconscious fears and desires, it actually, somehow, makes more sense. In fact, it starts making a lot of sense"
I thought I would bring this theory to Bill's attention as it has provoked healthy debate on-line - to the point where more and more people are beginning to look at the movie in a different way - even if it is not the way Mister Shatner intended.
Or is it....?  |
