So yeah. Watched Face-off yesterday. That's the movie where they take each other’s faces off, much like the title “Face Off” suggests. Man, I remember seeing that movie when it first came out. And I mean, as it was then, it is now, a stereotypical Hollywood action film. I'll give it credit in that it at least doesn't have some of the ridiculous special effects like some movies today, and at the very least, the action scenes are filmed with real actors performing real stunts. I mean, I can get over the fact that literally every vehicle explodes when it probably shouldn't, but what I could not get over was the damage that wasn't shown.
Not sure if you remember the movie, but Travolta and Cage change skins essentially. And so the bad guy is now in Travolta's cop body, while the good guy is now in Cage’s criminal body. Anyway Travolta's character must be acting really weird, (or so you would think) and his daughter must have been at least a little creeped out when daddy decided to start hitting on her and grabbing her sweet sweet sexy teen ass. Not to mention that towards the end of the movie, there is a scene in which he straight up gropes her and then licks her face while suggesting to Cage (who’s her actual farther) that he is going to have his way with his daughter. Now I'm not a shrink or anything, but I'm pretty sure this kind of behaviour would have a physiologically damaging effect on a person. So after all is said and done the family is fucked. Let’s look over our possibilities here:
If the cop doesn’t reverse the procedure and stays in Cage's skin, the wife will forever see the face of the man that shot their son. If the cop takes his old Travolta (and original) skin back, the daughter will forever see her father as the man that nearly raped her. I'm really not sure there is a safe way out of this situation. Moreover, when Travalta does return home (as himself) after everything was "fixed", his first action upon seeing his little girl was to slide his hand down her face (a mannerism unique to the cop’s character; something that should be seen as lovely, and possible calming) however, while performing said act, he caught a piece of her lip with he tracing fingers (just ever so gently…and sensually.) 'Yeah, daddy likes his finger in your mouth sweetie.'
Maybe she likes it. Maybe this whole experience, in some sort of sick Freudian way, has attracter her to her father.
Creepy.
Oh, and in case you are wondering how this family will ever recover form the loss of their child/brother, don’t worry, it will be easy. The family managed to replace the lost child with one of similar age and appearance; ironically enough, it was Cages old kid, who's now left without a mother and father.
Awwww, another happy ending!
A new son to replace the old one; a reminder of a father's face that was once eager to get into his daughter's pants; and the constant uncertainly left with the wife as she slowly starts to feel more and more empty after sleeping with a man she thought was her husband only to find out after that it was in fact the man that killer her son. But at least things are "back to the way they were"
