Zoe Kravitz's directorial debut Blink Twice is quite the wild ride. It's a film I mostly liked and I thought Kravitz direction was great for her first film in the director's chair. Here's my full movie breakdown and analysis of the ending.
This movie really helped me shift my perspective on "forgetting". Lately I have been so obsessed with wishing I could forget the horrible memories of my past and feeling like if I could just forget them l'd be so much happier. Watching this movie helped me realize there's power in remembrance. Channing Tatum tells her forgetting is a gift but it turned out to be a curse for the victims because it allowed them to be continuously revictimized. It's important to remember our bad experiences and learn as much as we can from them as to try and avoid them reoccurring in the future.I needed to see this!! Thank you to this movie for that
I really am so curious to know your zodiac sign. For me remembering is needed when I can't remember I'm literally climbing up the wall because I'm frustrated I'm anxious and I'm going through a mental spiral downward. I'm a Virgo son Sagittarius rising and Libra moon. People can take advantage of you when you don't remember. People can take advantage of you when they can twist the truth into their own version they're liking. This whole world is the way that it is because we forgot so many things and the ones who remember twisted up the tale.

OK this is a long shot... Did any one else pick up in the symbolysim that the Snake's venom being the antidote to the forgetting drug and Adam and Eve story where once Eve ate the apple given by the snake her 'eyes / mind' become open and started seeing the truth of them being naked.
THIS, the movie does such a good job with symbolism throughout the entire movie that I’m shocked this isn’t brought up more, even in skaters office there’s a flower picture that hints to the twist
The Genesis story ends with women being subordinated to men, as a punishment for listening to a talking snake. The film's original title is Pussy Island, it could be seen as a misogynistic derogatory term for those men incapable of relating to women without poisoning and abusively dominating them. There really has never been such thing as a talking snake, it beggars belief that anyone is capable of pretending to themselves that they don't know that.
the esoteric meaning of Adam and Eve covering their sexual organs (as well as much early to Renaissance art) with fig leaves has nothing to do with modesty or clothing oneself. It alludes to the reproductive nature of man to be an autonomous aspect of nature itself.
I think the reason her boss said that she was chatty at the party the year before is because her and slater were flirting but of cause she doesn't remember.
Just watched this and I enjoyed it. I think its crazy how this came out a few weeks before the story of the French woman whose husband was pretty much doing the same thing to her in real life....
A lot of people in the comments are saying Lucas was an unnecessary character but I think he plays a big part in this. Realistically, think of him as an ode to all those celebrities who knew what Diddy did, they saw things and did: nothing. They knew everything but they did nothing to help the victims, continued to hang around Diddy + attend his lavish parties and stayed silent. I feel that’s what Lucas represents and his character is very imperative to signify the people who watch these heinous acts but pretend that life is all fun and dandy in the end to preserve their own guilt.
@pernitkacampbell8968 YES, someone who is being abused but does nothing for others. Other than with the girls, the girls would've killed them faster thats why they needed to LITERALLY tie them up so they couldn't harm the guys. But lucas didn't need to be tied up, cus he wouldn't do anything at all.
No video mentions it but I think the therapist been raping slater and making him forget since he was 10 and I think that’s “the guy he plays golf with” his sister was referring too . He doesn’t have any memory of his trauma and when Freida made him remember at the end he gets jittery and shaky being around him
Great point didn’t even think about that I thought it was their dad they were speaking of because he was like I can’t remember anything before age 10 so I assumed it was someone from childhood or family but idk …???
@@dinam5017Exactly. So, did the drug begin with Slater? Or was it being used by someone else when he was younger and somehow made it into his hands or was passed along to him later as an adult?
You’re first review or explanation video I’ve seen of this film that acknowledges that Lucas was also a victim. I thought that was very obvious at the end so thank you for including that
I let the movie take me on the ride, and I found myself triggered as it was quite disturbing. It was a tough drive home. It was an amazing film but I am not in a hurry to see it again.
@@mm-in7tnwill the pair of you grow the fuck Up very amateur acting, not very thrilling or cinematic, poor showing of emotion and confusing (not in a good way) storyline
The irony of u all saying u were triggered when there was a literal trigger warning warning message right prior to the film starting. That's your own fault
Moral Of The Story : Don't wander off with random men that you don't even know just because they are handsome and have a lot of money. And also don't heavily dope yourself with alcohol and drugs neither.
Anyone else think that Lucas gave off Justin B vibes?? The black eye makes me think he may have been a victim too? Definitely reminded me of Diddy like party.
I thought this film was fantastic. my only complaint is that I wish the build up would’ve started a little earlier cause I think there definitely would’ve been more signs as to what was really going on, which would’ve helped with the pacing. The twist was hella shocking and effective, but it was a little difficult getting invested before the third act cause not all that much is happening and then everything happens all at once. Kinda wish a couple of the girls slowly went missing over the course of the film and it doesn’t get addressed until much later, cause Frida figures out Jess is missing like right after it happens
I agree, there is way to much time spent on the beginning to a point it’s almost boring. But I wonder sometimes whether that you are meant to feel that way. So you understand the guests feelings of wanting to escape
Yall are slow af. That wouldake it the same as any movie There was plenty of things to "see" if you were looking. Watch it again now that you know whats happening and you will see everything
I could see how you got P Diddy Party from this, with all the white clothing they wore, BUT it was closer to Epstein island rather than Diddy's parties, although they are similar. The movie forgot to add in the kids
Very good acting, and cinematography. Zoe has definitely done mushrooms cause I've had a bad mushroom trip multiple times, and it's VERY SIMILAR to how a lot of this movie was filmed, as well as how the focal lengths were at times, and how the scenes cut to evil scenes. Which can happen with a bad trip but it's in your mind mixed with reality
I thought it also had a commentary on trauma and how many try to ignore their trauma or deal with it through partying or drugs etc. instead of confronting it.
@@JoudanJanaiHa he was disturbed by what the men were doing and presumably one of the guys punched him to shut up and stop freaking out. He dosed himself with perfume every night so he would forget what the men were doing
@@GreenSnapShotI didn’t get that. The bruised eye symbolizes “panda eyes” which is a theory that touches on this subject- look it up 😬 just my thoughts tho
@@NiaAshanti0825 when Sarah said she met her bf at a coffee shop and doesn't know any of the guys. Then later we find out she's been to the island before. So it's not far fetched to think that all the girls have been there before. It's easier and safer for them to use the same girls instead of new ones all the time
The film was great I loved the way it was shot my only criticism is I wish some of the characters had a bit more depth. I don’t feel like I knew all the characters on the island
@jazmineworthy2311 the guy was getting drugged to so an explanation would have been great to know the characters more, but I see what your saying as well.
@@okeb75I think wonder boy had to be drugged because during the scene he was frantic & disturbed. Wonder boy was a liability at that point, it showed he couldn’t be trusted when they eventually leave the island. Wonder boy did “nothing” as slater put it. He didn’t stop it. They viewed him unpredictable. I think they punched him because he was going off the walls with his emotions basically bringing someone back to reality, same as when you slap someone because they’re not thinking straight.
Chaotic. Mindfck. Eerie. The reality of roommates living and traveling together and the relatable scene of scrolling through social media, and the parallel story line to Jefferey Epstein’s Island. 🤯 a type of horror that may trigger those who have experienced SA. This movie had to be made. People don’t tell these stories. What’s the first rule of nightclub. Much RESPECT to ZOE ❤️🔥
Seriously though, why do people think Lukas was a victim? It clearly says he chose to forget. They outright said there’s a “special place in hell” for those who choose to do nothing. He chose the option that let him forget anything happened.
@@courtney3974 The line went in the movie with a specific purpose. Saying it meant nothing because it came from King misses the point. Lukas chose to forget, that he was part of something monstrous. Freida and Sarah chose to figure out what happened to them even knowing that it would likely be terrible. Kravitz doesn’t let her characters remain clueless because that is what let these men get away with what they did.
He didn't take part in the rape and at the same time did nothing. The movie also implied that he was sexually assaulted by those men as I have read from movie reviewing websites
In the beginning when shes late for work, her boss tell her Last Year she was a lil too chatty, thats the year she dont remember leaving with Slater when her hair was longer with red rabbit nails, Frida quotes in the movie : "I cant magically erase things from my brain" when telling her friend she hates how she keeps going back to her bf she need to regain her power , "red or blue" dresses is like democrat vs republican, "success is the best revenge", "I dont care if I break my neck" she wanted to do anything to get to that level of power and success Frida is a woman who essentially fell into the same trap twice because of celeb/rich people worship, which the story addresses multiple times. The opening is her plotting to get a chance to meet Slater (again, we learn later), and when her best friend is bitten by a snake and has grave concerns about their situation she practically ignores her and begs her not
The ending actually made sense to me. She was a working and struggling. Always dreaming of a different life. Obsessed with Rich people. She gets a chance to be a part of that, and then in control and getting revenge in the end
Easter Eggs There is the other men. Her long hair was in her old lipstixk from year before, better luck next time, she cut her hair as a survival response to never be grabbed by it again if she came back The high heels message is typically women in heels have more powerful presence, so by snapping the heel he takes that away from her "Human sacrifice before or after dinner" "I did what I had to do to survive thats how you win" I think the snake venom is there for him to remember when he wants4 too...also the perfume is made from the flowers Frieda smells and same ones on their bed when arriving Frida’s scar, Knowing later that Slater was the cause of the scar it’s clear he was testing her here to see how wiped her memory When she tell the therapist I remember you they get nervous but she talking about from the Gala The guy at the first dinner, after Slate announce Camilla app launch downplay her success by saying its b.s. men hate women in power Sarah: "Girls fighting for their lives training for nothing Frida: "Im sure it will come in Handy" The women are eating all these red food items and drinks and the men eating eggs and different items Frida had the guy knife hidden in the mirror The women are eating all these red food items and drinks and the men eating eggs and different items When a guy dont want to help hold Frida down Slate says somebody getting drawn on forehead tonite At the Beginning at the Gala Frida says she has an excellent memory Slater friend says Jess looks familiar at the Gala in the beginning And Stace says nice to see you instead of Meet you that the worse the trauma is, the more they forget. They all forget Jess They establish that the gala happens once a year (she met him at one before the timeframe of the movie, then she is at one at the beginning of the movie)They establish that the gala happens once a year, she met him at one before the timeframe of the movie, then she is at one at the beginning of the movie Frida hiding the knife in the mirror, much like she hid her rent money, was her subconscious trying to make her aware of the truthJess’s lighter played a crucial role too. Her confusion over how she never seemed to own her lighter until she wrote her name on it reflected her diminishing presence in her own life. Without marking it, she might have remained just an afterthought
@@mariacharra6045You my friend, are an incredible analyst! Wow. This is great and yeah, I agree. I'm especially blown away by the mirror thing. I wish I had your mind 🤣👌🏽
I really liked this movie, I just didn't like the ending. Frida preferred to marry her crush and use his money than to seek more justice for his victims? Instead of uncovering the whole scheme? He's clearly not the only one with this drug and I'm sure there are many other abusers like this. Now she's with him without his consent so she's basically part of the problem too. Eek. Sorry, I just don't feel like this is an empowering ending for women after being abused like that.
I agree with you, I enjoyed it too and I also think that it was a very strong directorial debut. 8/10 Did anybody else had an 'Epstein-Island' feeling?
I have to ask what made it slow for you. Because when I watched it I was like oh when is the other shoe going to drop because there are signs everywhere that you all are in immediate violent danger. The constant being surrounded by Red. Her wearing that red dress to meet him her being surrounded by red flowers blood red gift bags red stain on her white dress. I was just waiting but I knew danger was close TOO CLOSE Them all in white running with the white shawl covering their faces covering their eyes them being in the dark and enjoying it and not realizing that what was going on all of it was just from beginning to end from the moment she got on that island was a horror show for me
But my question is if you are a multi billionaire and there’s a bunch of women who are willingly going to an island with you you don’t have to do anything to have sex with them. They’ll probably be open to it themselves. Why r*pe them? Why the torture? What was the purpise? Don’t make sense
My only issue with this movie is, as a woman you KNOW when you’ve had sex, either willingly or unwillingly. After the first night I would have questioned what happened/who I had sex with because of how my body felt.
I think because they were constantly inebriated their usual intuition was absent or they brushed it off because of the opportunity to be on that island.
@@msrefined1 you have to remember they are forgetting huge time loops but at the same time something is in the back of their mind telling them something's wrong. Something is seriously f***** up and wrong and I also think the mind is very strong with helping you to disassociate but the body remembers it all. So on one hand I agree with you you would know if you got banged up that rough how long were the time lapses
Remember when Sarah told Frida she was having a good time but she felt like something was off and pointed to her bruise? Eventually, even without the venom, they would have felt something for sure but with no way to explain it, so they’d have to keep it pushing. I've been there.
@@naynay9601 EXACTLY like when Frida looked at her dress and she no longer saw the red stain and when her bestie asked her what's wrong and she said nothing. This movie hit so deep on so many levels
Same. Me personally I would have been freaked out after the first or 2nd day waking up because I do NOT like not knowing when I went to sleep or how I got there. Like the first day sure MAYBE bcuz everyone was doing drugs but the 2nd id be like wait a minute…I dont remember going to sleep & I dont remember changing clothes or changing my hair or whatever is different. Id be so freaked especially since im around a bunch of men. At that point id be like maybe I should chill out on the drinking & drugs. Just my thoughts tho. Even tho the perfume was the thing making them forget.
the build up is there when you watch it twice! she set the whole thing up from the beginning. the first time she was there she hit her head on the rock and remembered. she went to the gala and said "revenge is the best success". then she slipped and hit her head again and forgot her plan lol. then she remembered with the snake venom again! she put the knife under the mirror as soon as she arrived. after she found her own lip gloss she said "better luck next time".
Ooh interesting pov - I think she hid the knife under the mirror the night her friend died - Jess stole Cody’s knife and told frieda to keep it in one of her flashbacks - I like to think she knew bc when Slater rolled her over and asked if she’s having a good time - she smiled and I was like wth? But she claims she forgot how the scar got there (she forgot her plan)
I thought Rich (the therapist) genuinely forgot who Frida was because he had gone home with the perfume too? Also it’s a bit hopeful thinking that everyone would spray themselves with perfume every day in their room…
I think the perfume they give the guests (I.e the therapist) is not for them to use on themselves but for them to continue to use on their future victims when they go home. And of course when they run out, they ask to go back to the island. I had the same thought about how it’s not likely the girls would spray themselves each time. However, maybe the men confirm that each girl has the scent before they do anything that night
This movie is a 9/10, the story is gripping and when we discover the truth, horror invades us from everywhere, The alluring perfume with the name desi-denia, is a mix between desire and an ease that caused denial afterwards?Then the girls' evening dresses, which are made in such a way that they can be tied up at the will of the attackers...it's intense! Waking up with dirt under your fingernails, I thought maybe it was burying someone, but this is doubly worse... What can I say! Just wow😢 My only question is : How would a Netflix version of blink twice have been in 8 one-hour episodes? We would have been more disturbed by the scenes than the minimum we were entitled to!
the one thing i can say about it is it puts alot of things and certain situations that came out too the public about epistein island and diddy into perspective once the females started remembering everything is when it got real for me like damn stuff really be put right in front of us and we look over it everytime like it’s nothing when it’s things the victims cant even talk about or don’t want to remember i pray every victim finds peace, can heal and live an happy wonderful life they deserve
THIS FILM IS GOAT!!!! I was forced by my lady and thought it was a 'chick Flick' Naaaaaaa.... This movie is fantastic!!! Visuals, music, acting, comedy, fear, etc... This movie is not good but GREAT, in my opinion!! Zoe Kravitz needs to continue making movies and Channing Tatum is one of the best actors in the game. What did I learn??...... Start letting my lady pick more of our movies!!!😂
I just want to point out one thing I noticed that I think the director wanted people to notice. The two main characters aren’t the original ones, Freida always is the main but through the movie the “hot girl” becomes the main and Freida’s friend. I think that’s a way of saying us women shouldn’t shun the hot girls, because we DO tend to treat the super super hot girls like they think their all that and a bag of chips and this movie just shows that that popular hot girl is just a normal girl at the end of the day, who is also able to be a fantastic friend.
@@marymartin8763 beauty is subjective one with that being said I think it went deeper than that. She was pretty, Freda was just as pretty her features stood out and they were mesmerizing. Her clear skin her big beautiful lips her gap tooth smile her eyes I love the close-ups of her face she is stunning. With that being said I also felt that the mixed girl with the big hair was very pretty as well. All of them were pretty in their own right. I think what the girl who used to be in the reality competition TV show said stood out because she was trained to be aware and fight to win a competition so she's always looking watching learning about people who they are or what they're doing that is just who she is by second nature. She was always watching because she was looking at Frida getting closer to Slater and Slater was the prize in her mind. She was the most aware out of all the girls so it made sense for her to realize if she says Jess is missing I would know if a Jess was missing more than anybody else here. She was too busy being competitive when in all honesty being competitive with women doesn't help us as we fight and navigate this patriarchy
I feel dumb because after watching “ending explained video, I still don’t quite get it. What did Frida go on to do? Can anyone explain it to me like I’m a child..
I just watched it, and in the end scene as the house is in flames, slater is stumbling and asking what has happened, in this moment his memory is coming back, this is because frida put snake venom in his vape pen ( i believe) when they are back at the gala at the end of the movie frida is seen giving slater what looks like pink drops in a bottle (possibly eye drops) this is the same link as the perfume that the girls were putting on that was making them forget everything so basically frida made sure to save slaver to keep him on the forgetting perfume for revenge and continued to give him doses of it so he forgets so much he can’t even remember who his therapist was at the end + i think with all the forgetting she is able to take over his company (in the end they address her as ceo of the company he once owned)
He was spraying the perfume just like the woman he never took a shot of the snake venom so there for he was always drugged and unaware at times ,then when you see the rape scene he's being abused by slater running and bowing on the ground that's where the black eye came from.
The fact that the cure was prominent on the island the "cure" being the snakes venom and so was the sickness in the flower prominent I loved it. Like nature often evolves to do was create both in the same setting was an awesome detail. I loved the flow of the movie.I couldn't stop talking about it. I enjoyed my time. I was pleased to find that this beautiful young lady Zoe which of whom I followed for so long in her career and have grown very fond of had produced such an awesome first was unreal and so powerfu for me to learnl. I was so delighted! Good on you ! I'm so proud of you all! I wondered what Lenny, Jason and Lisa thought being the ones who raised this bright and talented young lady! I am truly ecstatic to be able to witness such growth! Well done all of you ! ❤
Oh wow! Yes that scene where he’s upset on the red chair, and the assistant does a kiss face, and he does the same? Made them seem like they had a closer, more “familiar” relationship… like mum and son or siblings 😮
Frida (Free da)tried to save the women with the snake venom (snake in the garden of Eden), however they would have to fight their way off the cursed island. The abuse and how many people purposely forget it for goid reason. I really liked this movie because, although predictable there were some twists,especially at the end. I will watch this movie again.
I am confused how, since Frida was there on the island before, I believe a year prior. Similar things happened and she obviously got out and didn’t remember the whole trip. Obviously the time she was on the island was lost and when she was back at home… where does she think that time went? I wish they would have explained that. She was there once before, she was brought back… but where does she, or anyone else in her life, think she was? Especially her job.
This movie is now in my Top 5. As a feminist and a horror enthusiast this was everything to me. I'm also a snake lady I have a ball python so the fact that the snakes are what saved them made me happy too. ❤❤❤ 10/10 for me 🖤
I just saw someone post on FB to watch this, don't read any reviews just watch. And I did watch it without any knowledge what it's about lol. But I do know it's a thriller. I didn't watched the trailer either nor read the plot. It was fun, not boring and interesting plot.
It was so dumb for them to go with those strange unknown men that they literally just met within a couple of seconds just because they had a lot of money. Poor decision making from those females ! So Moral of the Story : Don't wander off with random men just because they are handsome and got cash. Because they can be wolves in sheep's clothing.
I went to the film not knowing what to expect. I was told it was going to be a wild ride. I watched the first part thinking the shots were cool, the acting was decent, but it didnt feel like it was going anywhere. It wasnt until the 3rd act that things started making sense. I still had some questions, but the film became more satisfying and today (the next day) ...I cant get the film out of my mind. I liked it. I should also mention ...I saw it in a somewhat packed theatre except for the two front rows and when the movie ended I was the only one to leave right away. The whole audience just stayed seated a bit mesmerized by what they had just seen.
How different from the theater I saw this in...I and everyone else in the theater did not wait for the credits to startbefore they got up and left. No polite discussions as we left. I did tell one of the clean up crew as I passed that it was a lousy movie. Maybe yall saw a different version....one that made sense.
Blink Twice was an ok thriller but the ending was very weird considering the issues that were prevailing in the movie were not addressed and it’s like the protagonist became the bad guy after all the torture? Weird flat in my view.
so basically the whole time the creepy old lady was tryin to help them, & she remembered "Frida" from the last time she was there, & I also noticed that the old lady was collectin all the snakes idk if it was her job to keep them off the land, or she was just collectin them to make liquid venom to save the victims, & help them remember what was really goin on the whole time they was there.. 🤔
My theory is when Sarah said she need a vacation and she hopes she knows what Frieda is doing she actually left to go on a vacation and she knew that Frieda was saving slater to take over his company as revenge that’s why frieda said earlier in the movie success is the best revenge
I enjoyed the movie, but that ending threw me off. I don't know what I'm supposed to take from that. Frieda ended up becoming the same as Slater, right? I knew she was selfish abd shallow, but it was disturbing how quickly she moved on from her friend's death. Also, the loss of memories, only emphasized how much of her true self was shown in that scene when she dismissive of Jess's feelings because "she felt seen". She's a pathetic, shallow person who would always idolize someone like Slater and go to his paradise. It's insane what happened to those women, but her being able to take his place... what are we supposed to take from that? That women should take power? That women can be just as evil? We know that the perfume, while it keeps that person's true core, it makes them a new blank slate without memories. She's now literally forced a Slater that can barely function as her slave. I guess it's just a story, cuz I don't know what message I'm supposed to take from that.
You’re reading way too much into this but in a weird wayand especially on the negative side for women…. Weird You need to pay attention more throughout the movie. Every scene may have clues and you need to put two and two together Earlier in the film she says “success is the best revenge” and throughout the film a line is also said about getting even. She’s always wanted to be felt seen as many people do. Almost everyone on this planet is succesptible to being seen in some way. We’re humans and some might take it a bit too far, it happens. The end is basically her taking back her revenge and using it to make the life she’s wanted.
You summed it up exactly how I saw it. Hollywood always has to invert things but make it seem ‘good’ to the stupid feminists. Making it look like she as a woman took back her power, when in fact she’s just become the same evil. 🐍
I keep seeing people propose/questioning that sarah surviving is a delusion but I don't know why? Like what makes people say that? I feel like missed something...
I have been waiting for you to drop 1 of your masterclass in breakdowns....lol. your voice should be playing in every home reading beautiful books or RUDE(CURSES) comments!
This triggered me so so much. I used to ne like Freda. I enjoyed all expenses paid trips, and that shook me and left me wondering. Thankfully, the world had not become this ugly back in my day.
Also the red rabbit nails appear in Frieda instagram page at the beginning while she’s rocking the toilet- I’m just so curious about the timeline - I’m thinking the girls were there for 3 days max but Jess went missing the 1st night bc of the snake bite / when the girls are running Frieda dress has the red stain from leaning over on the red meat - the first night is when the men started to make a move
What about stan He was a marine Was he just a hired hand or did he have more involvement. Who was making the perfume? It said that island was 600 years old. Seems like his investors Own the island
This movie is a remake of Diddy!!! This is exactly what he did! Rape traffic drug ppl Take pics and videos Drug them so they forget After the world saw him BEAT Cassie All he did was pay her and apologize And the world kept turning UNTIL SEPTEMBER ROLLED AROUND!!!! BLINK TWICE!👀
I got I Spit on Your Grave, meets Get Out, The Most Dangerous Game, meets Epstein Island or Diddy Party type, or even Don't Worry Darling vibes from this movie. Interesting to see the amount of female likes of this movie vs. the men on this. Because for most of Hollywood's years, we get the POV from the male perspective, but in more recent years we have had more female POV / Directors, coming through in the movie making process. I thought it was a great movie with Channing Tatum's charming personality and gaze, winning over the females. My Mom just adores and loves him, and she is in her 70's. It feels so real and horrific, with all the abuse allegations coming out of the entertainment industry lately. I'll have to go watch it again for symbolism and details I may have missed.
The movie was good and except for a huge mistake (🐍) it was very well made and I really liked it. You should really watch the movie twice to appreciate all the dialogues and little hints that can be find through out the movie.
This movie was soooo good. Wasn't 100 % feeling the ending and I agree with the pacing but really good none the less. Hard to watch at certain point for sure
Zoe Kravitz's directorial debut Blink Twice is quite the wild ride. It's a film I mostly liked and I thought Kravitz direction was great for her first film in the director's chair. Here's my full movie breakdown and analysis of the ending.
Scary movie. Zoe’s mom, Lisa Bonet, proximity to Bill Cosby, who was jailed for sexual assault by using chemical submission of multiple women.
This movie really helped me shift my perspective on
"forgetting". Lately I have been so obsessed with wishing I could forget the horrible memories of my past and feeling like if I could just forget them l'd be so much happier.

the esoteric meaning of Adam and Eve covering their sexual organs (as well as much early to Renaissance art) with fig leaves has nothing to do with modesty or clothing oneself. It alludes to the reproductive nature of man to be an autonomous aspect of nature itself.
I think the reason her boss said that she was chatty at the party the year before is because her and slater were flirting but of cause she doesn't remember.
This movie was very unsettling, but in a thought provoking way. Disturbing but great movie.
Also, the movie was very well filmed and edited. Very aesthetically beautiful e.g. shots and scenery
I agree guys. All in all a good movie 👍
I just watched it last night
Just watched this and I enjoyed it. I think its crazy how this came out a few weeks before the story of the French woman whose husband was pretty much doing the same thing to her in real life....
Right
Can someone link this story I've never heard of it
A lot of people in the comments are saying Lucas was an unnecessary character but I think he plays a big part in this.
Realistically, think of him as an ode to all those celebrities who knew what Diddy did, they saw things and did: nothing. They knew everything but they did nothing to help the victims, continued to hang around Diddy + attend his lavish parties and stayed silent.
I feel that’s what Lucas represents and his character is very imperative to signify the people who watch these heinous acts but pretend that life is all fun and dandy in the end to preserve their own guilt.
Exactly cause Slater even said “you did nothing” when Lucas ask what did he do ..
Lucas is Usher
@pernitkacampbell8968 YES, someone who is being abused but does nothing for others. Other than with the girls, the girls would've killed them faster thats why they needed to LITERALLY tie them up so they couldn't harm the guys. But lucas didn't need to be tied up, cus he wouldn't do anything at all.
No video mentions it but I think the therapist been raping slater and making him forget since he was 10 and I think that’s “the guy he plays golf with” his sister was referring too . He doesn’t have any memory of his trauma and when Freida made him remember at the end he gets jittery and shaky being around him
Great point didn’t even think about that I thought it was their dad they were speaking of because he was like I can’t remember anything before age 10 so I assumed it was someone from childhood or family but idk …???
Hmmmm 🤔 interesting
but he was asking about the whole thing when frida was tied up..asking slater if she wont really remember
@@dinam5017Exactly. So, did the drug begin with Slater? Or was it being used by someone else when he was younger and somehow made it into his hands or was passed along to him later as an adult?
The therapist got the perfume gift aswel. So it's a bit tricky.
You’re first review or explanation video I’ve seen of this film that acknowledges that Lucas was also a victim. I thought that was very obvious at the end so thank you for including that
Exactly right 100%
Panda Eyes?
I let the movie take me on the ride, and I found myself triggered as it was quite disturbing. It was a tough drive home. It was an amazing film but I am not in a hurry to see it again.
For real. I went to see it...was into it up until..you know...i got really uncomfortable.
Like you Im not in a hurry to recommend it or watch it again
i was triggered 🤓
@@mm-in7tnwill the pair of you grow the fuck Up very amateur acting, not very thrilling or cinematic, poor showing of emotion and confusing (not in a good way) storyline
Couldn’t agree with you more
The irony of u all saying u were triggered when there was a literal trigger warning warning message right prior to the film starting. That's your own fault
Moral Of The Story : Don't wander off with random men that you don't even know just because they are handsome and have a lot of money. And also don't heavily dope yourself with alcohol and drugs neither.
Definitely lol
precisely
More morals: don’t go on a random trip and give your phone AWAY. And if your best friend says something is not right, BELIEVE them.
Exactly!
Maybe don’t be a tool and go on a random island while being lured by money, drugs, and sex.
Anyone else think that Lucas gave off Justin B vibes?? The black eye makes me think he may have been a victim too?
Definitely reminded me of Diddy like party.
That’s what I said (this is diddy related WHITE PARTIES) Lucas character gave me Aaron Cartr/ Justin B vibes.
@@90sflowers80 yeah for sure
I thought this film was fantastic. my only complaint is that I wish the build up would’ve started a little earlier cause I think there definitely would’ve been more signs as to what was really going on, which would’ve helped with the pacing. The twist was hella shocking and effective, but it was a little difficult getting invested before the third act cause not all that much is happening and then everything happens all at once. Kinda wish a couple of the girls slowly went missing over the course of the film and it doesn’t get addressed until much later, cause Frida figures out Jess is missing like right after it happens
I agree, there is way to much time spent on the beginning to a point it’s almost boring. But I wonder sometimes whether that you are meant to feel that way. So you understand the guests feelings of wanting to escape
I agree !
Very good point my wife and I thought the same
Yall are slow af. That wouldake it the same as any movie
There was plenty of things to "see" if you were looking. Watch it again now that you know whats happening and you will see everything
@@hennysmith i 100%, their solution would've made the showing too obvious and unrealistic
Some of the most disturbing Diddy Party meets Get Out sh!t I've ever seen... 🥺... WHY DID I LOVE IT???
I could see how you got P Diddy Party from this, with all the white clothing they wore, BUT it was closer to Epstein island rather than Diddy's parties, although they are similar. The movie forgot to add in the kids
I thought the exact same.
With the Epstein style .... don't miss it
Very good acting, and cinematography. Zoe has definitely done mushrooms cause I've had a bad mushroom trip multiple times, and it's VERY SIMILAR to how a lot of this movie was filmed, as well as how the focal lengths were at times, and how the scenes cut to evil scenes. Which can happen with a bad trip but it's in your mind mixed with reality
😅
I can’t stop thinking about this movie
Same, I just watched it (at work🤭) and sheish. It's done a number on me.
Same here! Just wish that I could get the people that I know to watch the movie. I need to talk to somebody about this movie.
@@moviegirl8648 literally me 😭😭😭
I thought it also had a commentary on trauma and how many try to ignore their trauma or deal with it through partying or drugs etc. instead of confronting it.
Absolutely, same here. Especially towards the end when Slater talked about how his sister was messed up because of what happened when they were kids.
Lucas wasn’t sexually assaulted, the point of his character is that he did nothing to help the girls
So why was he being attacked in the one scene? And why did he have the black eye?
@@JoudanJanaiHa he was disturbed by what the men were doing and presumably one of the guys punched him to shut up and stop freaking out. He dosed himself with perfume every night so he would forget what the men were doing
@@GreenSnapShot Where did you get this from? Not being rude, just genuinely curious
@@alxiiii just from when channing tatums character was telling him he did nothing, he didn’t rape anyone but he didn’t help any of the girls
@@GreenSnapShotI didn’t get that. The bruised eye symbolizes “panda eyes” which is a theory that touches on this subject- look it up 😬 just my thoughts tho
My question is was Jess on the island before too because when Freida went to the island the first time did Jess not notice she was gone for awhile?
I think all the girls have been to the island before
I believe Freida was the only repeat guess. Based on what the photos she found. Her and the assistant were the only two women who were repeats
@@Jaybewatchin sarah & Freida were both there before
@@RoolSkoolWhat was shown or said in the film to make you believe Jess was there previously as well?
@@NiaAshanti0825 when Sarah said she met her bf at a coffee shop and doesn't know any of the guys. Then later we find out she's been to the island before. So it's not far fetched to think that all the girls have been there before. It's easier and safer for them to use the same girls instead of new ones all the time
The film was great I loved the way it was shot my only criticism is I wish some of the characters had a bit more depth. I don’t feel like I knew all the characters on the island
I think that was done intentionally to drive the point home that none of the girls even knew each other.
@jazmineworthy2311 the guy was getting drugged to so an explanation would have been great to know the characters more, but I see what your saying as well.
that is exactly what I thought, it missed some depth for sure!
@@okeb75I think wonder boy had to be drugged because during the scene he was frantic & disturbed. Wonder boy was a liability at that point, it showed he couldn’t be trusted when they eventually leave the island. Wonder boy did “nothing” as slater put it. He didn’t stop it. They viewed him unpredictable. I think they punched him because he was going off the walls with his emotions basically bringing someone back to reality, same as when you slap someone because they’re not thinking straight.
I thought Frida’s security guards grabbed Rich at the end. And assumed he’d get his just desserts from them. Anyone else get that feeling?
this movie was freaking awesome
The movie just represents what the elites do and most importantly how they try to erase our memory
This movie was feminist garbage lmao.
@@ronny2shoes Epstein is that you? Diddy is that you?
@@ronny2shoesweirdo. imagine this being your take from a movie about men drugging women and then raping them so they forget…
Chaotic. Mindfck. Eerie. The reality of roommates living and traveling together and the relatable scene of scrolling through social media, and the parallel story line to Jefferey Epstein’s Island. 🤯 a type of horror that may trigger those who have experienced SA. This movie had to be made. People don’t tell these stories. What’s the first rule of nightclub. Much RESPECT to ZOE ❤️🔥
Seriously though, why do people think Lukas was a victim? It clearly says he chose to forget. They outright said there’s a “special place in hell” for those who choose to do nothing. He chose the option that let him forget anything happened.
He's a weaker character. What could he really do against them alone? They got off on him probably being horrified and unable to do anything about it
You mean the mastermind evil grapist said it?
@@courtney3974 The line went in the movie with a specific purpose. Saying it meant nothing because it came from King misses the point. Lukas chose to forget, that he was part of something monstrous. Freida and Sarah chose to figure out what happened to them even knowing that it would likely be terrible. Kravitz doesn’t let her characters remain clueless because that is what let these men get away with what they did.
He was a coward. Cowards aren’t necessarily evil, but they’re part of the problem.
He didn't take part in the rape and at the same time did nothing. The movie also implied that he was sexually assaulted by those men as I have read from movie reviewing websites
In the beginning when shes late for work, her boss tell her Last Year she was a lil too chatty, thats the year she dont remember leaving with Slater when her hair was longer with red rabbit nails, Frida quotes in the movie : "I cant magically erase things from my brain" when telling her friend she hates how she keeps going back to her bf she need to regain her power , "red or blue" dresses is like democrat vs republican, "success is the best revenge",
"I dont care if I break my neck" she wanted to do anything to get to that level of power and success Frida is a woman who essentially fell into the same trap twice because of celeb/rich people worship, which the story addresses multiple times. The opening is her plotting to get a chance to meet Slater (again, we learn later), and when her best friend is bitten by a snake and has grave concerns about their situation she practically ignores her and begs her not
The ending actually made sense to me. She was a working and struggling. Always dreaming of a different life. Obsessed with Rich people. She gets a chance to be a part of that, and then in control and getting revenge in the end
Easter Eggs
There is the other men.
Her long hair was in her old lipstixk from year before, better luck next time, she cut her hair as a survival response to never be grabbed by it again if she came back
The high heels message is typically women in heels have more powerful presence, so by snapping the heel he takes that away from her
"Human sacrifice before or after dinner"
"I did what I had to do to survive thats how you win"
I think the snake venom is there for him to remember when he wants4 too...also the perfume is made from the flowers Frieda smells and same ones on their bed when arriving
Frida’s scar, Knowing later that Slater was the cause of the scar it’s clear he was testing her here to see how wiped her memory
When she tell the therapist I remember you they get nervous but she talking about from the Gala
The guy at the first dinner, after Slate announce Camilla app launch downplay her success by saying its b.s. men hate women in power
Sarah: "Girls fighting for their lives training for nothing
Frida: "Im sure it will come in Handy"
The women are eating all these red food items and drinks and the men eating eggs and different items
Frida had the guy knife hidden in the mirror
The women are eating all these red food items and drinks and the men eating eggs and different items
When a guy dont want to help hold Frida down Slate says somebody getting drawn on forehead tonite
At the Beginning at the Gala
Frida says she has an excellent memory
Slater friend says Jess looks familiar at the Gala in the beginning
And Stace says nice to see you instead of Meet you
that the worse the trauma is, the more they forget. They all forget Jess
They establish that the gala happens once a year (she met him at one before the timeframe of the movie, then she is at one at the beginning of the movie)They establish that the gala happens once a year, she met him at one before the timeframe of the movie, then she is at one at the beginning of the movie
Frida hiding the knife in the mirror, much like she hid her rent money, was her subconscious trying to make her aware of the truthJess’s lighter played a crucial role too. Her confusion over how she never seemed to own her lighter until she wrote her name on it reflected her diminishing presence in her own life. Without marking it, she might have remained just an afterthought
@@mariacharra6045You my friend, are an incredible analyst! Wow. This is great and yeah, I agree. I'm especially blown away by the mirror thing. I wish I had your mind 🤣👌🏽
@@mariacharra6045yess!! Finally a person with self and social awareness you definitely hit this right on the nail 💯
I really liked this movie, I just didn't like the ending. Frida preferred to marry her crush and use his money than to seek more justice for his victims? Instead of uncovering the whole scheme? He's clearly not the only one with this drug and I'm sure there are many other abusers like this. Now she's with him without his consent so she's basically part of the problem too. Eek. Sorry, I just don't feel like this is an empowering ending for women after being abused like that.
I think the ending was a great critique on how women or people who are victimized can also be complicit it the perpetuation of the cycles of abuse.
@@thevestalvirginspeaks3847 It is, except that's not a great ending to this story. If they wanted to empower women, that's not the way.
Did you heared about P. Diddy?
I liked the ending like she said who is gonna believe her over the billionaire, so she turned the tables 😂
@@300mirrorsi completey agree with this analysis
I agree with you, I enjoyed it too and I also think that it was a very strong directorial debut. 8/10
Did anybody else had an 'Epstein-Island' feeling?
absolutely 💯
Yeup
He was in the pictures that Freda picked up
Immediately lol
@@okeoke733thought I was seeing things but this confirms it was him
A key part you didn't mention is the men who do nothing are complicit as is spoken about at the end between Slater and Lucas.
I love how people's worse fears was the snake which was the cure, and what pple love most was the disease...i hate flowers, always have, always will
i was surprised by how good and effective this movie was. i loved it.
Cody was not her boy friend that’s part of the whole point
I liked it and liked the third act but it was too slow in the beginning. And Channing, Channing, Channing will always be forever hot to me 😭
I have to ask what made it slow for you. Because when I watched it I was like oh when is the other shoe going to drop because there are signs everywhere that you all are in immediate violent danger. The constant being surrounded by Red. Her wearing that red dress to meet him her being surrounded by red flowers blood red gift bags red stain on her white dress. I was just waiting but I knew danger was close TOO CLOSE
Them all in white running with the white shawl covering their faces covering their eyes them being in the dark and enjoying it and not realizing that what was going on all of it was just from beginning to end from the moment she got on that island was a horror show for me
I thought it was really slow too.
Honestly the Diddy analysis videos are more interesting.
that "chaka khan aint nobody" scene was 🤌
Yesssss
But my question is if you are a multi billionaire and there’s a bunch of women who are willingly going to an island with you you don’t have to do anything to have sex with them. They’ll probably be open to it themselves. Why r*pe them? Why the torture? What was the purpise? Don’t make sense
Loved it
Thought it was just me I LOVED that scene. As soon as Frida said she wanted to dance I just knew sh was about to pop off
Lord I just watched this movie and I don’t even know what I just saw. The ending REALLY got me.
Did you like it ?
My only issue with this movie is, as a woman you KNOW when you’ve had sex, either willingly or unwillingly. After the first night I would have questioned what happened/who I had sex with because of how my body felt.
I think because they were constantly inebriated their usual intuition was absent or they brushed it off because of the opportunity to be on that island.
@@msrefined1 you have to remember they are forgetting huge time loops but at the same time something is in the back of their mind telling them something's wrong. Something is seriously f***** up and wrong and I also think the mind is very strong with helping you to disassociate but the body remembers it all. So on one hand I agree with you you would know if you got banged up that rough how long were the time lapses
Remember when Sarah told Frida she was having a good time but she felt like something was off and pointed to her bruise? Eventually, even without the venom, they would have felt something for sure but with no way to explain it, so they’d have to keep it pushing. I've been there.
@@naynay9601 EXACTLY like when Frida looked at her dress and she no longer saw the red stain and when her bestie asked her what's wrong and she said nothing. This movie hit so deep on so many levels
Same. Me personally I would have been freaked out after the first or 2nd day waking up because I do NOT like not knowing when I went to sleep or how I got there. Like the first day sure MAYBE bcuz everyone was doing drugs but the 2nd id be like wait a minute…I dont remember going to sleep & I dont remember changing clothes or changing my hair or whatever is different. Id be so freaked especially since im around a bunch of men. At that point id be like maybe I should chill out on the drinking & drugs. Just my thoughts tho. Even tho the perfume was the thing making them forget.
Well done movie. Extremely relatable. That feeling something’s not right and trying to get your friends to see through the glitz. Too on point.
the build up is there when you watch it twice! she set the whole thing up from the beginning. the first time she was there she hit her head on the rock and remembered. she went to the gala and said "revenge is the best success". then she slipped and hit her head again and forgot her plan lol. then she remembered with the snake venom again! she put the knife under the mirror as soon as she arrived. after she found her own lip gloss she said "better luck next time".
Ooh interesting pov - I think she hid the knife under the mirror the night her friend died - Jess stole Cody’s knife and told frieda to keep it in one of her flashbacks - I like to think she knew bc when Slater rolled her over and asked if she’s having a good time - she smiled and I was like wth? But she claims she forgot how the scar got there (she forgot her plan)
@@quilabill bingo!
Make a video PLEASE 🙏
@@beerose8985 lol I thought about that
Lucas represented all the young people invited into those lavish parties forced to do the bad things
I thought Rich (the therapist) genuinely forgot who Frida was because he had gone home with the perfume too? Also it’s a bit hopeful thinking that everyone would spray themselves with perfume every day in their room…
I think the perfume they give the guests (I.e the therapist) is not for them to use on themselves but for them to continue to use on their future victims when they go home. And of course when they run out, they ask to go back to the island.
I had the same thought about how it’s not likely the girls would spray themselves each time. However, maybe the men confirm that each girl has the scent before they do anything that night
@@JoudanJanaiHaoh that makes sense thank you. And yes near the end Slater says to Frida something about her not smelling of perfume
@@TheLondonWhispererhe said " you smell different". Indicating she didn't spray herself
This movie is a 9/10, the story is gripping and when we discover the truth, horror invades us from everywhere, The alluring perfume with the name desi-denia, is a mix between desire and an ease that caused denial afterwards?Then the girls' evening dresses, which are made in such a way that they can be tied up at the will of the attackers...it's intense! Waking up with dirt under your fingernails, I thought maybe it was burying someone, but this is doubly worse... What can I say! Just wow😢
My only question is : How would a Netflix version of blink twice have been in 8 one-hour episodes?
We would have been more disturbed by the scenes than the minimum we were entitled to!
When did Frida swap the vape with the perfume ? I was confused by that. He was occupied the whole time
When he left to chase Sarah and tie her up
He dropped the vape while running out, and Frida had just cut herself loose
There’s literallt a scene when he leaves the vape by the knife and she sees while he goes out to get Sarah
the one thing i can say about it is it puts alot of things and certain situations that came out too the public about epistein island and diddy into perspective once the females started remembering everything is when it got real for me like damn stuff really be put right in front of us and we look over it everytime like it’s nothing when it’s things the victims cant even talk about or don’t want to remember i pray every victim finds peace, can heal and live an happy wonderful life they deserve
why wouldn’t you just say women
THIS FILM IS GOAT!!!! I was forced by my lady and thought it was a 'chick Flick' Naaaaaaa.... This movie is fantastic!!! Visuals, music, acting, comedy, fear, etc... This movie is not good but GREAT, in my opinion!! Zoe Kravitz needs to continue making movies and Channing Tatum is one of the best actors in the game. What did I learn??...... Start letting my lady pick more of our movies!!!😂
I just want to point out one thing I noticed that I think the director wanted people to notice. The two main characters aren’t the original ones, Freida always is the main but through the movie the “hot girl” becomes the main and Freida’s friend. I think that’s a way of saying us women shouldn’t shun the hot girls, because we DO tend to treat the super super hot girls like they think their all that and a bag of chips and this movie just shows that that popular hot girl is just a normal girl at the end of the day, who is also able to be a fantastic friend.
@@marymartin8763 beauty is subjective one with that being said I think it went deeper than that. She was pretty, Freda was just as pretty her features stood out and they were mesmerizing. Her clear skin her big beautiful lips her gap tooth smile her eyes I love the close-ups of her face she is stunning. With that being said I also felt that the mixed girl with the big hair was very pretty as well. All of them were pretty in their own right. I think what the girl who used to be in the reality competition TV show said stood out because she was trained to be aware and fight to win a competition so she's always looking watching learning about people who they are or what they're doing that is just who she is by second nature. She was always watching because she was looking at Frida getting closer to Slater and Slater was the prize in her mind. She was the most aware out of all the girls so it made sense for her to realize if she says Jess is missing I would know if a Jess was missing more than anybody else here. She was too busy being competitive when in all honesty being competitive with women doesn't help us as we fight and navigate this patriarchy
I feel dumb because after watching “ending explained video, I still don’t quite get it. What did Frida go on to do? Can anyone explain it to me like I’m a child..
I just watched it, and in the end scene as the house is in flames, slater is stumbling and asking what has happened,
in this moment his memory is coming back, this is because frida put snake venom in his vape pen ( i believe)
when they are back at the gala at the end of the movie frida is seen giving slater what looks like pink drops in a bottle (possibly eye drops) this is the same link as the perfume that the girls were putting on that was making them forget everything
so basically frida made sure to save slaver to keep him on the forgetting perfume for revenge and continued to give him doses of it so he forgets so much he can’t even remember who his therapist was at the end + i think with all the forgetting she is able to take over his company (in the end they address her as ceo of the company he once owned)

I went into fight/flight after the second half of the movie. But still I think this is a masterpiece.
What a great movie I LOVED IT! I hope Zoe Kravitz is very proud because this is one of the best movies I peronally have seen this Year!
I loved everything about it. I was so confused why Lucas didn't remember anything and had bruises like the girls. It was a great job by Zoe.
He was spraying the perfume just like the woman he never took a shot of the snake venom so there for he was always drugged and unaware at times ,then when you see the rape scene he's being abused by slater running and bowing on the ground that's where the black eye came from.
The fact that the cure was prominent on the island the "cure" being the snakes venom and so was the sickness in the flower prominent I loved it. Like nature often evolves to do was create both in the same setting was an awesome detail. I loved the flow of the movie.I couldn't stop talking about it. I enjoyed my time. I was pleased to find that this beautiful young lady Zoe which of whom I followed for so long in her career and have grown very fond of had produced such an awesome first was unreal and so powerfu for me to learnl. I was so delighted! Good on you ! I'm so proud of you all! I wondered what Lenny, Jason and Lisa thought being the ones who raised this bright and talented young lady! I am truly ecstatic to be able to witness such growth! Well done all of you ! ❤
Not slaters assistant - well maybe, but also his older sister.
Oooh I did not think of that - I was like is Stan and Stacey Slater’s parents?
Oh wow! Yes that scene where he’s upset on the red chair, and the assistant does a kiss face, and he does the same? Made them seem like they had a closer, more “familiar” relationship… like mum and son or siblings 😮
Frida (Free da)tried to save the women with the snake venom (snake in the garden of Eden), however they would have to fight their way off the cursed island.
The abuse and how many people purposely forget it for goid reason.
I really liked this movie because, although predictable there were some twists,especially at the end. I will watch this movie again.
I also felt like frida was freed a year prior so that she could recruit more women, which is why she brought jess without knowing
I am confused how, since Frida was there on the island before, I believe a year prior. Similar things happened and she obviously got out and didn’t remember the whole trip. Obviously the time she was on the island was lost and when she was back at home… where does she think that time went? I wish they would have explained that. She was there once before, she was brought back… but where does she, or anyone else in her life, think she was? Especially her job.
I came here because of Jaguar Wright, thisbis defitnely an eye opener about Hollyweird
This movie is now in my Top 5. As a feminist and a horror enthusiast this was everything to me. I'm also a snake lady I have a ball python so the fact that the snakes are what saved them made me happy too. ❤❤❤ 10/10 for me 🖤
Mark it also under unrealistic
10/10 is insane glazing 😂
Same here 🥰
I just saw someone post on FB to watch this, don't read any reviews just watch. And I did watch it without any knowledge what it's about lol. But I do know it's a thriller. I didn't watched the trailer either nor read the plot. It was fun, not boring and interesting plot.
It was so dumb for them to go with those strange unknown men that they literally just met within a couple of seconds just because they had a lot of money. Poor decision making from those females ! So Moral of the Story : Don't wander off with random men just because they are handsome and got cash. Because they can be wolves in sheep's clothing.
most girls in this day in age will sadly, even guys aswell. for money, greed and power

This movie reminds me of Get Out mixed with the Epstein Island.
Excellent review I can’t wait to see this film. I’m gonna rent it on Amazon.
This movie gives off Epstein island & Diddy parties
It feels very inspired by midsommar
I went to the film not knowing what to expect. I was told it was going to be a wild ride. I watched the first part thinking the shots were cool, the acting was decent, but it didnt feel like it was going anywhere. It wasnt until the 3rd act that things started making sense. I still had some questions, but the film became more satisfying and today (the next day) ...I cant get the film out of my mind. I liked it. I should also mention ...I saw it in a somewhat packed theatre except for the two front rows and when the movie ended I was the only one to leave right away. The whole audience just stayed seated a bit mesmerized by what they had just seen.
How different from the theater I saw this in...I and everyone else in the theater did not wait for the credits to startbefore they got up and left. No polite discussions as we left. I did tell one of the clean up crew as I passed that it was a lousy movie. Maybe yall saw a different version....one that made sense.
By far one of if not the best movie this year
Channing is freakin Hot and the way his eyes look at her did it for me, I loved the scruffy beard and he just a damn babe!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ I liked the movie
Blink Twice was an ok thriller but the ending was very weird considering the issues that were prevailing in the movie were not addressed and it’s like the protagonist became the bad guy after all the torture? Weird flat in my view.
"Well done Zoe Kravitz"
I don't think Lucas was a victim. I think he was horrified by what the other men where doing so his memory had to be erased.
Great movie,especially the time of its releasing in the year of revealing all PDs scandals,and arrest.
The apology reminded me of Diddys. Shudder. The women getting angry and fighting back was totally empowering.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
so basically the whole time the creepy old lady was tryin to help them, & she remembered "Frida" from the last time she was there, & I also noticed that the old lady was collectin all the snakes idk if it was her job to keep them off the land, or she was just collectin them to make liquid venom to save the victims, & help them remember what was really goin on the whole time they was there.. 🤔
My theory is when Sarah said she need a vacation and she hopes she knows what Frieda is doing she actually left to go on a vacation and she knew that Frieda was saving slater to take over his company as revenge that’s why frieda said earlier in the movie success is the best revenge
I enjoyed the movie, but that ending threw me off. I don't know what I'm supposed to take from that. Frieda ended up becoming the same as Slater, right? I knew she was selfish abd shallow, but it was disturbing how quickly she moved on from her friend's death.
Also, the loss of memories, only emphasized how much of her true self was shown in that scene when she dismissive of Jess's feelings because "she felt seen". She's a pathetic, shallow person who would always idolize someone like Slater and go to his paradise.
It's insane what happened to those women, but her being able to take his place... what are we supposed to take from that? That women should take power? That women can be just as evil?
We know that the perfume, while it keeps that person's true core, it makes them a new blank slate without memories. She's now literally forced a Slater that can barely function as her slave.
I guess it's just a story, cuz I don't know what message I'm supposed to take from that.
My guess is that everyone takes SA differently.
You’re reading way too much into this but in a weird wayand especially on the negative side for women…. Weird
You need to pay attention more throughout the movie. Every scene may have clues and you need to put two and two together
Earlier in the film she says “success is the best revenge” and throughout the film a line is also said about getting even.
She’s always wanted to be felt seen as many people do. Almost everyone on this planet is succesptible to being seen in some way. We’re humans and some might take it a bit too far, it happens. The end is basically her taking back her revenge and using it to make the life she’s wanted.
You summed it up exactly how I saw it. Hollywood always has to invert things but make it seem ‘good’ to the stupid feminists. Making it look like she as a woman took back her power, when in fact she’s just become the same evil. 🐍
That was her revenge too.
This was an amazing good movie ! I understood it all Good job 🔥
So did sarah get away? Or was the second to last scene a figment of the main characters imagination
My question too
@@lynette5382 I watched the video for that specific analyzation and it wasn’t even addressed
Sarah got away.
I keep seeing people propose/questioning that sarah surviving is a delusion but I don't know why? Like what makes people say that? I feel like missed something...
@@shannonhawkins1819 she stands up and the do a wide shot of the two main characters and sarah is no where to be seen so it’s kind of up in the air
It was also funny how the assistant said “nice to see you” instead of nice to meet you. So the assistant know Freidda was there before
P.Diddy's thing, right there infront our eyes....
I have been waiting for you to drop 1 of your masterclass in breakdowns....lol. your voice should be playing in every home reading beautiful books or RUDE(CURSES) comments!
Y'all realize they really doing this shit...
This triggered me so so much. I used to ne like Freda. I enjoyed all expenses paid trips, and that shook me and left me wondering. Thankfully, the world had not become this ugly back in my day.
@@milliscentchiswo6483 the world was always ugly. I'm just happy nothing f***** up happened to you
Pretty good psychological movie !
Best $25 spent on TH-cam to watch again in the near future. Watching it twice right way is helpful.
I thought Zoe was creative but now all this Diddy and baby oil stuff coming out I guess she didn’t have think too hard.
Also the red rabbit nails appear in Frieda instagram page at the beginning while she’s rocking the toilet- I’m just so curious about the timeline - I’m thinking the girls were there for 3 days max but Jess went missing the 1st night bc of the snake bite / when the girls are running Frieda dress has the red stain from leaning over on the red meat - the first night is when the men started to make a move
What about stan He was a marine Was he just a hired hand or did he have more involvement. Who was making the perfume? It said that island was 600 years old. Seems like his investors Own the island
thankyou for making this video it truly helped me furthre my knlowlege on this movie
Jaguar Wright brought me here 🧐
Probably not a great idea to worship the rich and famous. Who knows what deviance they’re hiding.
Great intel 🧨🦊
I effed with this movie
This movie is a remake of Diddy!!!
This is exactly what he did!
Rape traffic drug ppl
Take pics and videos
Drug them so they forget
After the world saw him BEAT Cassie
All he did was pay her and apologize
And the world kept turning
UNTIL SEPTEMBER ROLLED AROUND!!!!
BLINK TWICE!👀
I loved this movie
I got I Spit on Your Grave, meets Get Out, The Most Dangerous Game, meets Epstein Island or Diddy Party type, or even Don't Worry Darling vibes from this movie. Interesting to see the amount of female likes of this movie vs. the men on this. Because for most of Hollywood's years, we get the POV from the male perspective, but in more recent years we have had more female POV / Directors, coming through in the movie making process. I thought it was a great movie with Channing Tatum's charming personality and gaze, winning over the females. My Mom just adores and loves him, and she is in her 70's. It feels so real and horrific, with all the abuse allegations coming out of the entertainment industry lately. I'll have to go watch it again for symbolism and details I may have missed.
The movie was good and except for a huge mistake (🐍) it was very well made and I really liked it. You should really watch the movie twice to appreciate all the dialogues and little hints that can be find through out the movie.
I really enjoyed this film 👍
To me, it's like the black woman version of "get out," except she wants that life like most of those types. The movie was ok.
This movie was soooo good. Wasn't 100 % feeling the ending and I agree with the pacing but really good none the less. Hard to watch at certain point for sure
Lucas is not a victim.
If you are not sure about the movie. Its only $6 on YT to watch.
Interesting that she married her abuser and the song Frida and Sarah (I think) went to get their revenge, it was to Beyoncé “I’m That Girl”.
diddy party be like
