Appreciation
I started doing this above, but it got really repetitive bringing it up over and over so I just brought them all down here. This was another thing I didn’t realise till I was older, how this entire movie is not only about Beetlejuice. It’s about people who just don’t feel appreciated and / or just aren’t noticed, and I’ve come up with alotta scenes that showcase this:
1a 1b. Adam tries to yell down to the people below but they don’t see him…
2. Old man tries to talk to Adam but he gets ignored…
3. Lydia is ignored by her parents…
4. Beetlejuice in the complex all day by himself…
5. Woman who used to live there just wants to be noticed and she wants people to appreciate the work she’s put into the house…
6. The mother tries to tell one of the movers that her sculpture means alot to her, but he looks like he doesn’t care…
7. Once you’re gone, your items just aren’t appreciated by others the way you want…
8. You think its art, but others have a look of boredom…
9. They’ll even ignore your dead body, as long as they get what’s yours…
10. You feel rejected, and left in the dust…
11. And even when you’re in the dust people will still try to nip at you…
12. It’s best if you just return and face facts…
13. “You don’t appreciate my art, so I want you to see it!”
14. Guy gets killed and still has to run errands… that’s not right…
15a 15b. You never see me (no eyes) you lie alot (long nose) but my mouth is wide open!
16. “I know he doesn’t appreciate my art but I don’t care”
