Happy Gilmore 2 Director Defends Virginia’s Shocking Death Scene [Exclusive]

Beware, there are two major spoilers of “Happy Gilmore” 2 in this article.

“Happy Gilmore 2” is now on Netflix, and during the first few minutes of the start of the sports comedy starring Adam Sandler, you may have found yourself choosing your jaw from the ground after an unprecedented devastating and unprecedented touch. Well, some of us have seen coming, but we certainly did not see that happening in a dark and fun way.

In the opening sequence of the film, we are attached to what is going on with Happy Gilmore since the end of the first movie, which includes winning multiple round championships, married to Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen) and having five children (four hateful children and a quiet daughter).

Unfortunately, this also includes learning that Al -Saeed inadvertently killed Virginia with a long golf engines. Yes, Virginia Vennett killed a golf ball that her loved husband hit.

This is what sends happy to the vortex of depression that makes him lose the grandmother’s house (who fought hard in the original movie) and all the gains he got over the years as a professional ghost. He forces him to move to a demolished house with his teenage daughter, where he spends most of his days drinking alcohol from surreptitious bottles wherever he can hide them, such as the option in the grocery store that works in the cuckold watch on the wall of his home.

Although women’s characters that raise a new arc of the primary male character served as a common cup in a variety of movies for a long time now, there is something about happiness that the person who kills Virginia is much worse. So we asked if there was any concern about how to play this sequence with the fans when the movie arrived, and we asked the director Kyle Newacheck (“Murder Mystery”) about this amazing transformation of events.

Before the “Happy Gilmore 2” version, we talked to the director Kyle Newacheck in an interview that will be fully released in an episode of PodCast /Film Weekly Podcast. During our chat, I asked if there was absolutely no concern about the retreat from this dark dark development. The director said:

“Yes, I think there is anxiety. There is always anxiety when you play this kind of darkness. But I don’t know, I was never worried, because it is the driving force [of the film]. If you pull it, what do you have? You don’t have anything real. But yes, when I read the scenario for the first time, this is like the fifth page, and it was glued when that happened. So I knew what this feeling felt, and I knew that people could overcome it. You can overcome it. “

In fact, Newacheck believes it is in line with a moment of the original movie. He continued:

“He is not far from the fabric of the world, because in the first, his father dies. This is tragic. His mother moves to Egypt, then his father dies, and moves with the grandmother. So there is darkness in the first one. [was] Suitable.

Yes, in the original film, the father’s father is suddenly killed in the opening title sequence when he hit hockey with a game they attended together when Happy was just a child. Although I assumed that this is the moment that made the book Adam Sandler and Tim Hurleyi believe that killing Virginia in a way that such a way would not be difficult to overcome, as I was shocked because they do not see how this is an escalation that does not descend with the same dark feeling of humor. The most frustrated is that the slight change in the text program could have made it somewhat more acceptable.

What makes Virginia’s death really feel more Hama, which may be pleased to be the person who kills her. This darker than an intermediate accident, and he didn’t need to be this way.

Let’s not forget that there is already competition between the golf player for a long time McGavin (Christopher McDonald) and the happy rebellious. In “Happy Gilmore 2”, he was the shooter in decades institution, after he sent him his loss in the tournament to a mental collapse. It was easy to make this competition deeper by being the shooter who accidentally killed Virginia.

This death could have been the shooter’s awareness that he sent to the institution. When he was released, instead of having Shooter and haapy a quick cemetery quarrel before compensating comrades, it was possible for the film to refrain from forgiving the shooter, and his anger could hinder his performance in the course, making it difficult for him to earn money to send his daughter to the ballet school. Happy will need to forgive the shooter for mourning properly on his wife, and this emotional maturity is what allows happiness to be good in the golf game again. Imagine how to touch him if Happy realizes that his “happy place” may never be happy as before, but he still finds a way to pass.

But of course, the film plot, which involves the crazy Maxi League, which wanders against the tour of the professional golf players, requires to cooperate in a much closer, making prolonged any reconciliation more difficult to play. If the film has remained on the basis of the original and gets rid of all bells and stupid biles in the Maxi League, we may have a decent “Happy Gilmore” supplement. Instead, it’s stuck in raw.
