I like to imagine that with Martyrs, the truth was a terrible fate for the people that took her, but she lied to make it sound like something that makes dying worth it as a last bit of revenge for all the suffering she was put through.
With "Martyrs" no answer to what was exactly whispered to Mademoiselle, is the best way to go. It opens the door for a lot of possibilities but the most disturbing one remains the idea that whatever it was, the living mind isn't made to handle such information, driving a person mad or if they are quick, suicide.
Beau is Afraid, to me, is real life at the worst possible case scenario. For example: you aren’t able to visit your Mother and now she is disappointed? Well guess what, she’s dead now. Now you’ll never be able to see her again, and it’s all your fault! The movie is that feeling of dread, amplified by a million, every waking second.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a masterpiece, the perfect marriage of horror and magical realism. It has gained traction recently and is on its way to becoming a genuine cult classic.
The guilt is what his mother gave him and it’s all he really knows. So most of what he’s seeing is his mother’s guilt in an augmented reality in his own head. I gave you everything! The world isn’t safe. Everyone is out to get you. Anything good in life you need to feel bad about or be suspicious of in some way. His mother’s psychological grip on him is the movie.
Ambiguous endings, killers with no apparent motive, open to interpretation endings are always the best. Hate it when characters get dumbed down by same old child abuse explanation.
From what I recall Billy was Leslie Vernon’s mentor, in Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006). But his scenes explaining this were but, however there were hints. At least that’s what I’ve heard on the subject
/spoilers ahead/ I believe (now that's just opinion, I'm prolly wrong about it) that Beau actually started to heal from his paranoia/anxiety/whatever mental illness he had as he was progressing on his journey to his mother's funeral. Like, he would have NEVER been able to do any those things at the beginning. Forcing him to face "reality" is what it took to cure his constant fear. *Or*, maybe his illnesses weren't even real in the first place (when he was a kind he definetely had mysophobia but he still had a strong grasp on reality), maybe he was perfectly normal but had been drugged by his shrink for years (since the guy was on his mother's payroll) to keep him in that state of constant anxiety so that he would all need to depend on his mother. So once he didn't take the pills he was prescibed, the illnesses started to "vanish", and that eventually cured him. I'm constatnly watching Two and a half men too, so I'm kind of seeing a parallel between the two stories: as long as the child doesn't find a way to grow up as a proper adult and cut ties with his mother, he's doomed to repeat the same mistakes, which will probably be the cause of his demise; so in Beau's case, he was ready to get rid of his mother, but for some reason couldn't (I do believe that the monstrous form of the father was just a gimmick, some sort of pretext that just had to be strong enough for Beau to ultimately come back to his mother's side), and that's what finally killed him. Because had he just kill his mother instead he would probably still be alive. Which still doesn't explain why the girl died when they had sex ugggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
With Gremlins it signifies when they can eat again when the sun rises. It can eat again after midnight until the sun comes up again. It has nothing to do with a clock or time zones, it's simply about the place of the sun and the moon in the sky. Sunrise signifies when it's okay for them to eat again.
I saw the original _Black Christmas_ in its original release. I have no recollection of the name Billy ever coming up. The film was structured perfectly to imply Kier Dullea being the killer. The killer has a massive point of view tantrum in the attic right after Kier Dullea has a spat or such with his girlfriend. When Kier finds her in the cellar, I was all _No no: kill him!_ in my suspense laden head. So imagine my WTF'ness when at the very end we see the killer back up in the attic, and I realized I'd been led down a red herring path... D'oh...!
Shutter Island's ending isn't ambiguous, at least not to the degree people argue it is. He is sane, or rather it would be more accurate to say he is at least in a period of lucidity, enough that he knows he would rather neither live with the knowledge of what happened, nor regress back into the state of denial as this would mean him essentially having to relive the pain every time he became lucid again.
How many more times are you lot going to bang on about these moments from American Psycho, Shutter Island, Gremlins and Rosemary's Baby, new content please, as its a new year now.
In martyrs, I believe she told her that there was something more. If she'd told her there was nothing, why would she be so willing to plunge herself into that? She asks her colleague if he can picture what comes after, he says no, and she says to keep doubting. Like him not being able to picture it is some indication of doubt. "Keep doubting" and blows her brains out. Even if she did tell her there was nothing, why would she expect someone she just tortured and mutilated to a point they were straddling the line between worlds? I could see that she would lie to her, making her possibly think there was nothing, having her kill herself and omit herself from entry into the afterlife. Sweet revenge.
With Martyrs I can only assume she said there was nothing afterwards because if she said she saw Heaven wouldn’t that mean Mademoiselle wouldn’t go there and the others either so she wouldn’t want to die and her followers would be cursed for their actions too and the experiments must stop. The same if she saw hell. If she saw nothing Mademoiselle would be hopeless, her life’s work for nothing. She tells them to keep looking to keep their hope and the chance of a different answer. But she can’t go further.
Uhh, these are pretty obvious, guys... You have to think less literal and more metaphorical. It doesn't matter what the baby is made out of or came from, it's a "monster" that represents all the worst qualities of a baby and none of the good ones that Lynch likely projected his fears of parenthood onto. American Psycho has a definitive ending with the book, according to the author, but the whole "is he crazy or being protected" ambiguity is the fun part. With Beau Is Afraid, Mary (like Virgin Mary) is this authoritive and powerful mother figure who has full control over Beau's life, who he subconsciously blames for everything going wrong. His dad is a huge dick to him. His mother gaslights and shames him into helpless powerlessness and fear, unable to take control on his life and she is toxic, abusive, and manipulative, thinking she has the right to own him, and that he's hers because he's her child, and any word of bad mouthing from him or doubting of her godlike greatness only will further his punishment. Everything is out to get Beau and the worst-case scenario is the first thing his anxiety-riddled mind latches onto but it doesn't mean that any of it onscreen is "literally" happening. It's a delving into his psyche, and the more like him you are, the more obvious the bashing you on the head conceptually it feels. Killing of a Sacred Deer is based on a religious Greek play where Martin replaces the offended gods, but his mannerisms during the explanation make me wonder if he's not so much cursing or inflicting this situation but trying to explain what he did to escape it with his own family and how to help this other family not reach the same end. The detail of his dead father could play into that. It's just a thought.
Gremlins has been explained, the latest cartoon explains the third rule and how it works the rule actually state that they cannot be fed after the moon reaches its highest point in the sky on a given night. Human are just lazy and shortened it to midnight.
American Psycho as a book is just as ambiguous. But since the book is told in 1st person, you can always invoke the unreliable narrator aspect, where you suspect everything on the page, because you suspect the one telling the tale. It's harder to do in third person, which is exactly what a movie is. American Psycho, was intentionally ambiguous. There was a quote from the director that she asked Wilem DeFoe to deliver his scenes with Patrick both as someone who believes him, and someone who thinks he's lying. She then intercut each response with each other so that you aren't even sure what Wilem DeFoe thinks, because one line is delivered as if Patrick is lying, and the following line is delivered as if Patrick is being truthful.
The real reason we will never get any answers to the Gremlins question about feeding the mogwai after midnight is not because the director don't want to give that answer to us, it is most likely because he has no answer for the question.
@2:30 It is the point of the film to have a hard time drawing the line between reality and fantasy. As for the last five films mentioned, again their point was completely lost to whoever asks these questions. I have a question though, is the family name "little child" real or just another stage name for our contemporary social media?
Neither was. If Childs had been, he would have attacked MacReady on sight and vice versa. If both were, they wouldn't have had the conversation they did.
I believe it’s More that Astor doesn’t even know what Beau is afraid is about is no longer A 24 golden child, and he should be embarrassed that he nearly bankrupt the studio
Well, first sentence from Wikipedia: "Beau Is Afraid is a 2023 American surrealist tragicomedy horror film written, directed, and co-produced by Ari Aster"
I seriously doubt that David Lynch has any secrets about his movies. You'd have to actually understand his movies to do that; and I'm sure that even HE doesn't have the slightest idea as to WTF any of his movies are about!
Beau Is Afraid because Beau is in hell. The hell is made of other people and he keeps reliving it over and over. Hence the underwater opening and the trial on the boat followed by drowing at the end of the film. It was fairly obvious.
Beau actually is experiencing the trial at the end because that's his interpretation of being cut off from his mother, while his mother made his seem like he should only love her which is why Beau sees the woman he's sleeping with dead after cause his mom pov was what they're both dead to him sense the trial. For the monster he saw a giant you know what cause the only thing he remembered from his dad is he died using what Beau saw. Him being in fear and panicking all movie seeing things also is because he didn't take water with his meds also he's suffering from Munchausen by proxy and Schizophrenia so the not taking with water lead to him panicking cause if you saw earlier he was scared he only drank a lil bit mouthwash on accident. So it turned into hysteria.
@@clayyoyo Could very well be. It definitely paints an eternal gnashing of teeth hell of your own making. Hence why each individual is experiencing their own hells. Even the frantic people on the streets. A bunch of little micro-hells that when all added together create a macro-hell.
@@matthewkeller4218 the streets were like that because of his severe anxiety and schizophrenia hense the gun pull from the cop he saw that but in actuality the cop just had his hand on it since he was already panicking from the man in his place

Gremlins was so much fun.
Thank You for the List and Video 😀
Noon is the end of after midnight 😁
I would add "Are either McReady or Childs 'The Thing'?" at the end of The Thing.
The killing of a sacred deer is based on an ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides. It's magic.

that is called retconning
Also, what is the original alien form, what the alien creature originally looks like in The Thing (1982)? No doubt, we will never get that answered.
Why does it matter what it looks like, the Thing consumes life, end of story.
Actually, if you go back and read the really fast of the script that Chris Columbus wrote, those questions were there, in the beginning.
