The movie
begins with a story told by a young girl named Sarah about the
legend of The Crow. The story states that when a person
dies, their soul is
carried to the afterlife by a crow; however, if that person's soul is
at
unrest, the crow has the power to bring that person back to life so
that they
can right the wrongs that were done to them before they can find peace.
The Crow is a 1994 American
film adaptation of the comic book of the same name
by James
O'Barr. It was directed by Alex Proyas
and starred Brandon Lee in what was to be his last film.
The film
gained instant notoriety even before its release when Lee was killed in
an
accident during filming. Because of this event, the film has gained a
cult
following over the years. It was also Brandon Lee's first (and
ultimately,
only) non-martial arts role on film.
Lee originally
wanted the film to be shot in black and white in keeping with the comic
and only
have the flashback sequences in color. However, the producers disagreed.
