Happy Gilmore 2 director defends Virginia’s shocking death scene (exclusive)






Be careful, this article has the main spoilers “Happy Gilmore” 2.

“Happy Gilmore 2” is now available on NetflixAnd in the first minutes after the start of the sports comedy, the key role is played by Adam Sandler, you may have found that after devastating, shocking, shocking twisting that no one couldn’t see that I didn’t see it. Well, Some of us saw it comingBut we certainly did not see that it was in such a dark, unpleasant way.

In the opening order of the film, we are facing what’s happening to Happy Gilmore since the end of the first movie, which includes winning multi -championships, marriage to Virginia Venita (Julie Boven) and five children (four unpleasant sons and one quiet daughter).

Unfortunately, this also includes learning that Happy accidentally killed Virginia with one of his long golf trips. Yes, Virginia Venit kills a golf ball affected by her loving husband.

This is the one who rejoices in the depression spiral, which makes him lose his grandmother’s house (the one he fought so hard in the original movie), and all the winnings he earned as a professional golfer over the years. It makes him move to a worn -out house with his teenage daughter, where he spends most of the day, drinking fluid from secret flasks, wherever he hides them, for example, cucumbers in the grocery store where he works for a cuckoo clock on his home wall.

While Women’s character courtesy To cause a new story to the primary male character, has long been a common tropical in various films, there is something happy to be the one who kills Virginia much worse. So we wondered if there were any concerns about how this sequence would play with the audience when the film arrived, and we asked the director Kyle Newacheck (“Murder Secret”) about the turning turn of these events.

Happy Gilmore 2 director Kyle Newacheck thinks the dark humor is equivalent to course

When we were releasing Happy Gilmore 2, we talked to director Kyle Newacheck in an interview that will soon be fully released into the episode /Film Weekly PodcastDuring the chat in the area, I asked if there was some concern about returning from such a dark, dramatic twist. The filmmaker said:

“Yes, I think there are concerns. Playing with this type of darkness always there are concerns. But I don’t know, I never really worry because it is (movies). If you pull it out, what do you have? You have nothing real.

In fact, Newacheck thinks it matches the moment of the original movie. He continued:

“It’s not far from the world’s fabric because his father is in the first. It is tragic. His mother moves to Egypt, and then his father dies, and he moves with his grandmother. So the first is dark.

Yes, in the original movie, Happy’s father is suddenly killed in the opening title in order when he was hit by a hockey puck during the game they attended together when Happy was just a child. While I assumed that it was the moment that ordered writers Adam Sandler and Tim Herlich to think about killing Virginia in this way would not be difficult to deal with, I am shocked that they do not see how it is escalation that simply does not come with the same irreversible sense of dark humor. It is even more frustrating that a slight change in the scenario could make it at least slightly more enjoyable.

Was an easy way to prevent this obvious error in Happy Gilmore 2

What actually makes Virginia’s death feel more acidic than it might otherwise be happy to be the one who kills him. It is much darker than the average accident and it really didn’t have to be one.

Let’s not forget that there is already a rivalry between longtime golfer shooter Macgavin (Christopher McDonald) and the rebellious Happy Gilmore. In the movie “Happy Gilmore 2” the shooter has been to the institution for decades, after he sent him to a mental collapse at the Tour Championship. It would have been easy to make this rival even deeper if the shooter is the one who accidentally kills Virginia.

This death in the shooter’s consciousness could have been the thing that sent him to the authority. When he is released, instead of the shooter and happy to be a quick tombstone, before he became a friend, the film could be happy to forgive the shooter, and his anger could hinder his performance in the course, making him money to earn money to send his daughter to ballet school. Happy should forgive the shooter to properly mourn his wife, and that emotional maturity is what would allow you to be happy to be golf again. Imagine how it would be touching if Happy realized that his “happy place” would never be as happy as ever, but he still found a way to go through life.

But, of course, the movie storyline involving the insane Maxi League, who plays against the professional golfers’ tour, requires a happy and shooter to combine much faster, making it harder to extend any settlement. If the film had remained as justified as the original and departed from all the stupid bells and whistles in the Maxi League, we would have probably had a decent “happy Gilmore”. Instead, it is stuck in a coarse.
