Greystoke: Tarzan, but make it FASHION? (Hear me out!)

Okay, so I just watched "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes" (the 1984 one, obvs), and while it's not exactly on my usual rotation of meticulously styled period dramas, something struck me – the costuming, even in its relative simplicity, REALLY tells a story. Obviously, the apes aren't exactly rocking couture, but it's the contrast that's interesting. Think about it: We see Lord and Lady Greystoke (briefly, RIP) in very classic, stiff Victorian attire before the ship wreck. It's all about control, restriction, and civilization, right? Then, BAM, they're in the jungle, and the clothes evolve (or rather, DEvolve) into practical rags. But even in their tattered state, there's a subtle elegance. It's like the idea of refinement persists, even when they're literally fighting for survival. And when Tarzan (Christopher Lambert, looking FINE, btw) gets back to England, the struggle to adapt to that stuffy formal wear is like, a visual representation of his inner turmoil. I'm not saying it's high fashion, but it's definitely high-concept. And okay, maybe I'm just a fashion nerd trying to find subtext where there isn't any haha, but I really think the costuming choices highlight the central theme of nature vs. nurture. Like, are we defined by our environment or our inherent nature? The clothes definitely play a part in that visual storytelling. Let me know if I'm totally off base, but I'm kind of obsessed with this now. I think it is something special, worth a watch for sure! Final thought: someone get Christopher Lambert a stylist, stat! That's no diss to the movie, he was good in it! Just... some of those 80s outfits were...a choice.
