Well, I finally saw Tin Man today (on DVD). Now I understand why people like it (and why, I gather, many people ship D.G. and Cain). I'm not sure whether it's meant to be a remake or a sequel, since it has elements of both. Heaps and heaps of echoes of the original, and yet it isn't the same plot.
I'd gotten the impression, from what people had said about it, that it was a "post-Apocalyptic Oz", and I still think that's a reasonably good description, because the place is full of ruins and devastation and decay, and the hard edge that makes one think of things like Mad Max; a touch of steampunk mixed in with the magic.
It's one of those stories that have more than one level; it could easily have been done in a shallow, superficial way, and yet, somehow, I think partly because of the calibre of the actors, it was deeper than that. Sure, there were many things I could see coming a mile off, but that didn't matter.
( here be spoilers )
So, can anyone point me towards some good Tin Man fic?
