You learn something new every day I have loved Labrinth ever since I was a little girl one of the earliest films of my childhood that I remember being introduced to and how I became a huge David Bowie fan and I never knew until I saw TikTok the other day that Sarah's mother didn't die she left her dad for her acting partner who is pictured with her in those newsclippings that Sarah has on her vanity mirror and I never even realized and put it together that it's David Bowie in those pictures with her mother and that Jeris is supposed to be The like her mothers love her boyfriend and it's supposed to be this would you do what your mother did would you be tempted by someone promising you all of these things if you leave your family and ultimately at the end Sarah says no I'm not going to do that I would not sacrifice the family that I love for some dude who is claiming to promise me all these things who probably isn't going to follow through with them in the end or whatever and that is why she in her imagination chooses her mothers lover because he is the villain in her own story And it's not actually Toby it's not actually her stepmother it is the man that was her mothers acting partner that she ran away with and I never knew that and I feel so like it's like

It's like a the greatest thing that's Epiphany this realization because it does make sense and really even as an adult I thought you know the whole world that Sarah dreamed up really was real especially since like all of the characters appear in her bedroom like first they appear in the mirror and then they appear in the bedroom and she has a dance party with them but essentially it is her imagination you think about it now and it's her connection to her childhood
