The pie scene made me cry my eyes out. It was so real. No crazy dramatics and loud crying with swelling violins, it was just watching a woman deal with death. This movie was absolutely magic.
When the other ghost realized "they" weren't coming and finally moved on, I couldn't help but cry. I hope they find whoever they are looking for in whatever afterlife the movie briefly showed during the hospital scene.
I felt sad for the ghost. They waited so long that they don't remember who they were waiting for. I feel the same way. I'm waiting on someone I shouldn't be waiting on but I'm stubborn. I'm losing memories but I won't let go. I won't move on.
ChaliceOfSouls When I was 23, I lost my little brother. The pie scene had me crying by the end of it. I experienced those moments of grief where some people might get relief from drinking, from drugs, from cutting. The pie was just showing a normal event, taken to wild excess to try and dull the pain. In those moments you will do almost anything to make it stop.
When the other ghost, I thought it was his neighbor (the other one in the car accident), vanished in the air I felt... Really sad and my eyes were full of tears. I think he said "They'll never come" or something. I was sad because he didn't even remembered who "they" were... I mean... It broke my heart. Beautiful movie.
I think the note said "I'm not coming back." That goes along with their conversation in the beginning regarding her notes and never returning to her previous homes as well as the convo the ghost husband had with the other ghost where she says "I don't think they're coming." and disappears. In addition, part of me thought the other ghost was actually the wife in another timeline, especially when she said "nevermind" like the wife did in the morgue when she identified her husband.
Man I had a friend of mine watch this before me and told me not to bother because it was so boring.. I get this style of cinema isn't for everyone but calling it boring just seems such an insult to such a beautifully profound movie. At first I was a little thrown off myself by the long drawn out scenes at the start. However, as the story unfolded it all started to make sense and declare a rather stylistic approach that I personally haven't seen often in films. It was a nice change of pace and by the end of the movie I felt a strange sense of sorrow, and yet I also felt a wonderful sense of clarity and peace. A24 continues to prove to be one of the best in the film industry today.
I somehow just discovered this on Netflix last night. I always skimmed over it thinking it was a traditionally "scary" movie. It has been over 24 hours since I finished it and I'm still ruminating on the way it made me feel. I absolutely love this kind of quiet, intentional, "slow" film that you feel you fully witness and experience almost as if you're there. The "time travel" scenes were just so otherworldly. When the Hispanic family moves in and it transitions from birthdays to Christmas to breakfast in the blink of an eye. It really was a masterpiece. Glad to see there are other people as deeply moved by this film as I was.
I love that this director is willing to discuss the intricacies of his film and not be all cryptic and douche-baggy about! I absolutely loved this film.
He was pretty friendly and open. I think he even offered to help me wind up my mic cable after. Not what I was expecting at all. I thought he would be more of an out of touch arty guy. I'd love to talk to him about another film some time.
I love how they shot this movie. I'm really glad someone in Hollywood is willing to take risks. The tightrope he explained about filming with the sheet was very interesting.
Just watched this movie last night. I cried when the neighbor ghost disappeared, then he realized what's going on. Such a powerful movie, and deserves more recognition
I can't believe that the PIE SCENE actually "needs" an explanation. To me it couldn't be any more literal, the meaning its right there implicit on every second, the grief, the pain, the loneliness, the sadness, the anger... the length of the scene it's quite obvious as well, the director wants you to be in the skin of the character for a few minutes. Are people really that shocked to see a long scene on a semi-mainstream film? Da fuck man.
It's because this is the internet, where people with very little life experiences, intelligence, or empathy are allowed to comment. That said, I think the pie scene was too long. It should have been a series of real-time events with multiple shots, like of the wife looking at old pictures, her husband's old possessions, and silent depiction of her emotions. That would have conveyed the same message without people getting annoyed.
I know the director said it was meant to be almost uncomfortable, but I think that's a poor artistic tool, especially in the context of your audience paying money, scheduling time out of their day, and sitting in a theater to watch someone eat pie for 7 minutes at the beginning of a film. It seems people interpreted that scene as an intimate real-time moment of a widow after losing her loved one. Totally understandable concept but it could have been executed much better, such as the way I mentioned. If you ever heard stories of people who lost loved ones, immediately up on hearing the news they do things like: sit in the deceased person's room, look through their possessions, cry hysterically, look at their pictures, smell their clothes, etc. All she did in focus was eat pie and listen to his song with a pensive expression.
Don't be patronising. I understand why the pie scene was there. Everyone who criticises it does. The scene failed because it reminded me, and everyone else that we were watching a movie, that the pie was more real than the Widow and her grief. You can't blame the audience if YOU failed to communicate with the vaste majority of them.'
Im sure this amazing piece of cinema isnt underrated in certain circles, but it feels vastly underrated. I feel sad when i hear some people saying its pretentious..I felt it profoundly moving, the true meaning of total loneliness observing life whilst invisible. The inevitable frustration of having no ability to interact. The futility of hope through the passing of time. The words on an old note that finally brings closure.. Visually captivating, and where the absence of dialogue actually adds to the atmosphere. It's emotionally haunting. Just beautiful. I have to say I wanted to hug that ghost of his so much. All the ghosts..
Thanks to the interviewer as he managed to ask the questions that made me think a lot after watching the movie and I really was seeking any kind of explanation, here, I think I am more satisfied and less confused
The pie scene is so absorbing I couldn't help but feel the longer the scene went on, the longer I watched the more committed I was to the scene and more invested I became into her sadness and mourning. And my heart broke for the ghost just standing there watching her the whole time. Also my heart broke for the ghost in the other house who was waiting for someone she couldn't remember.
Whatever the note said was what he needed to hear to move on. And time as we know it doesn’t exist where he is. The little girl who put the note under the rock reminded him of what he originally wanted to do, to get that note. I love this movie, one of my favourites. So beautiful. ❤️
My 20 year old daughter and I only watched the movie, 'A Ghost Story', for the first time a couple of months ago on Foxtel and we were absolutely floored. You see so many fast-paced, action-packed, multi-million dollar bullshit films/movies now days, full of violence, carnage and human nastiness that they all start becoming sickening to the stomach and so blatantly predictable that they leave you feeling like you just wasted your own precious time on this Earth by watching the crap. Then along comes something like David Lowery's low budget, thought provoking movie 'A Ghost Story'. With it's stillness and it's quietness. With it's incredible thought provoking acting that draws the viewer into feeling their every emotion. I honestly started to feel like spewing my guts up watching how much pie was being eaten, and then suddenly M sprung to her feet, ran, and puked it all up in the bathroom. That scene was intentional and powerful. There is a difference between just making a movie and creating a movie. 'A Ghost Story' is such a creation that will only appeal to those of us who 'get it'. And there are millions of us. Those of us who are already at the same level of mindfulness. We get it, and it moves us to tears. I feel absolutely privileged to have seen it. Now about this song. This beautiful, beautiful song. I have no words good enough to describe it. My heart, my mind, and my whole being feels like I have just discovered 'THE' song that could literally change the world. Daniel Hart is an absolute Artist, with a capacity beyond anything words can say. He lives and breathes in the profound beauty of his talent. For those of you who haven't tried it, I suggest you sit in a comfortable chair with your eyes closed and listen to it - volume up - with a quality set of headphones. It will travel deep into your soul. You'll never feel the same again. Daniel Hart and David Lowery make an awesome team. When the movie finished, my daughter and I just sat there.....absolutely stunned. Then what followed was hours and hours of discussion - relating to each scene - the meaning behind it - and its effect it had on us. We couldn't stop talking about it........and the song. The song will never ever leave me. Show less
Such a beautiful comment. I completely agree with your 1st paragraph. So True about almost all of the movies today. I am still floored by all the new ways to film gore and violence. Like, who sits around the studio room and green lights all this awful stuff being unleashed onto our already suffering society? Like people need to see more violence and blood and horror? Is that going to help Society become more mindful and peaceful towards one another? Adding chaos upon chaos doesn't help. This Movie- Thankfully!- was none of that.
I'm glad we never saw what the note said, it was something special to Casey's character that allowed him to finally let go and move on. It makes a statement about "stuff" doesn't really matter, all things will eventually turn to dust either naturally or deliberately as those who come in future needs take over things. What matters is the connections you make in life, the people you touch and affect. I loved the film and it had me in tears at the very last scene.
The whole film was an amazing experience, it allowed me to feel the pain of loss and it sent me through a journey across a spectrum of feeling, not a lot of films can do that nowadays and for that, if I said I liked A Ghost Story it will be an understatement.
Beautiful and deeply affecting film. The feelings I had watching it have stayed with me years later. Very moving and, yes, ultimately comforting. Classic.
I loved it .... when he was finally able to open the note.... he finds his freedom .... her last symbol of love to him ....whatever it may have said.... life repeated itself and still he waited 🙏 In life he felt an attachment to the house ... bc his ghost was haunting it ! 😔
First of all, I knew his movie had to be good having Casey and Rooney as lead actors but damn! my expectations were by far exceeded! I was many times in tears throu out the movie. The pie scene was necessary! so powerful and painful... Those who walked out probably were watching the pie being eaten not watching Rooney and the pain and anger she was feeling and the tears that were falling!!! people like that do not deserve a movie like this, better go watch Transformers 5! -.- I was blown away by this amazing movie, need to watch it again. I watched a a week ago and there has not been a day that i havent thought about it.
This was a good film. It really got into my head. I didn’t like how I felt after I watched it, but I realized that’s because it left me affected. The hopelessness, the loneliness, the pointlessness of holding on to anything in this world. I felt so anxious and depressed afterwards.
I loved the story progression in this movie, because it starts so slow and gradually gets faster 'till you beginning to feel overwhelmed by so many things that are happening, but suddenly it all get weridly calm, an almost ominous type of calm. Then, the movie ends, the ghost isn't here anymore, just you with your doubts, feelings and uneasiness. A truly beautifull film that makes you question your entire life, questions that are hard to deal with because they're so painful and their answers are so hard to find
Damn. He is so good at answering questions! Seriously, he's able to come up with incredibly thoughtful, tactful, interesting, and concise answers with what looks like no struggle at all, every time! I loved hearing his thoughts! Great film, great interview!
Really nice guy who had no problems discussing his movie. On the other hand if you want to see a director get pissed off at me....th-cam.com/video/QTvJ3LqtYTM/w-d-xo.html Lots of fun awkwardness there at about 10:43 lol.
I just watched this movie last night and it floored me. It left me with a lingering sense of depression, but it was so beautiful and moving I don't even care. I think it's the rare art film that doesn't have its head up its own ass to the point where no one can really enjoy it. It was, (pun intended), haunting.
Seriously, it's odd how so many people got pissed off by this movie. They don't have a grasp of overarching themes or introspection, or an attention span.
Cinder Cone The only intellectual dimwit here is you. It wasn't pretentious. Anyone who has lost anyone close resonated with it. It's not the director's fault you didn't get it or that your pot addled brain needed something a bit more simplistic and instantly gratifying.
This unassuming masterpiece still affects my thought processes and captivated my imagination so much, I have had to watch it again and again to put the pieces together. The hospital exit scene so moving. 👏👏👏👏
This was my favorite movie of 2017. I watched it every night for about a week and found every viewing to be a moving experience. I love this director. Even his Disney film (Pete's Dragon) was heads and shoulders above a lot of what's out there.
I was amazed by the slow but very thoughtful pace of how the events develop, an eerie photography and a haunting music add to the sadness and frustration experienced by the main characters, M & C, in a nutshell ; a rumination of sadness and love eternally thru space and time. Excellent movie, one of the best in 2017 ! I say ‘eternally’ because this is one of those movies where the story starts as a linear plot, you think you are going from point A to B, then ¾s ahead of the movie you realize that the story cycles back in re-inserts itself into an eternal loop, a circle with no start and no end, a Möbius Strip This concept is very good exploited by Christopher Smith in 2009’s thriller Triangle, both stories have a lot in common and both have a pivotal point where the loop apparently starts and a both characters have a strong motivation. Let’s see, in Triangle the character played by Melissa George dies and she is offered the option to move on ( the taxi driver, supposedly the devil ), she rejects it thinking that she can go back and fix things, driven by an immense guilt feeling over the dead of her son and how she mistreated him and neglected. In the Ghost Story, C played by Casey Afleck is offered the option to move on into the next plane, heaven, purgatory etc, a glowing door appears for him to enter, he rejects it driven by love and a strong desire to reconnect with his wife. At the beginning of the movie; the spectator is inserted into the middle of this circle, events have already been going on, in Triangle you see that many loops had already passed ( dead birds on the beach ), in the ghost story we can perceive that we are already in the loop, C complains about noises in the house , if you turn up the volume you will hear the scribbling and scratching on a wooden wall ( the ghost trying to dig up the note), someone making noises on a piano, strange bright lights etc, so there was a ghost already roaming the house, so C was already dead !, we are in the Nth loop. All of these hauntings were the reasons why M wanted to leave the house, C felt attached to it and he is destined to inhabit it forever. And the proof that it will continue is given at the end, when ghost # 1 disappears after reading the note, but ghost # 2 stays, he will roam around that house, will go thru everything that we saw for ghost 1, will go to the future, jumps back to the past and eventually will disappear as well. Another proof is that during the credits ( turn up the volume) and you will hear the Hispanic kids’ laughter, meaning that they moved ( the lady and her two kids ) to the house and the cycle will go on. We see that both ghosts see M leaving the house but only the #1 knows about the note ( #2 still doesn’t) and the one that disappears is our #1 by looking at the dirty and ragged sheets, #2 has clean sheets, fresh from the morgue. Eventually #2 will phase out and a new # 3 will appear, meaning that C will continue dying forever , the only way out of this eternal loop is to go thru the glowing door, i.e accepting and having the resignation to move on and let go. What was written in the note is irrelevant, it just serves as motivation for C to go back, remember that C knows about the note only after his death, while alive he never saw M writing it and the jump to the far past is just extra material, all this wild west mini-story doesn’t add anything to our ghost quest except that it presents a possible explanation why M liked to hide notes, maybe the little girl somehow reincarnated in her.
My thought watching the pie scene was: "How many takes did this scene take?" "How many whole pies did she have to eat to get this right?" "Is that a stunt pie?" I had it in my notes to ask these burning questions and forgot to. The world may never know now :(
I wonder why he raised so much Hell with the Hispanic woman and her kids. My guess was that it's the family he always wanted but never got a chance to have
The house is all he has left of his former life after his wife moves, so he reclaims the building by it by scaring away the various occupants of the house.
I watched a ghost story for the first time tonight on SBS world movies and I loved it it's moving in ways you don't expect. The underlying message we all want to be remembered 👻
I think the note suggested something along the lines of giving him permission to leave, more specifically letting him know that she's going to be alright, and that he can now move on. Who agrees?
I think it said I'm not coming back." That goes along with their conversation in the beginning regarding her notes and never returning to her previous homes as well as the convo the ghost husband had with the other ghost where she says "I don't think they're coming." and disappears. In addition, part of me thought the other ghost was actually the wife in another timeline, especially when she said "nevermind" like the wife did in the morgue when she identified her husband.
Heather Shands Ford you've missed the movie and you've got a totally wrong guess, the message is hidden in the book that drops. "The treasure yours" There is a guy who explained it well in the comment section and it's pretty nice and clear.
I don't think it said literally said something like that, just that what it said had that effect on him. Something very personal that only he could relate to, knowing her so well.
Everything David explained about the film is what i got out of it...it's a beautiful film, the story, and tragedy of C is got to my skin, but understanding what he meant with it it's more relaxing...thank you Mr lowery for this project.
I understood the ghosts lived a fuzzy existence and that time wasn't linear at all for them reason why it wasn't that clear for him what was he waiting or doing there anymore, we get that from the other ghost that doesn't know who's he waiting anymore and goes away when he realizes they aren't coming back, that's the same realization Casey Affleck gets at the end in my opinion, at the begining R Mara tells him that she left notes in all the houses where she lived as a kid but never came back. SO it becomes clear to him that he has to move on regardless of what the note says.
The other ghost was a female (played by Kesha). She had on a sheet with a pretty print. I think she died at home. The sheet was likely from her deathbed.
months have passed and im still haunted by this movie. such a great one. I can't decide now which is my favorite movie, this or Waking Life. Thank you David Lowery.
The “pie scene” being long and uncomfortable from a film aspect is really good. And I love the way he explains it perfectly. But for me I feel like it was the first clinical sign of her grief. She was so stoic throughout but that was the first time where you could see the depth of her feeling. How she felt about him, how she currently feels. What I also love was the scenes at the end where he was haunted by his own ghost. The piano and the noises at the end were so unnerving when you get to consider it all. This was a really deep film.
I like to think the note said "it's okay, we can go." The last thing Casey Affleck's character likely ever said to Rooney Mara's character. Blissfully reminding him of a time where they were finally together again, and not just together in the physical sense.
Just finished it myself ten minutes ago! And I find myself looking did explanations. This is a sign a movie sits with you. Beautifully tragic and haunting film.
I feel sad during the pie scene. I have been through a very sad break-up and and the lost is just so empty. You go on days without eating and sleeping. You will feel exhausted and when you do eat, you will eat a lot but you will not feel full. At the end of the day, I even vomitted for trying to eat to much. I think that scene, being hungry and broken at the same time really shows the human side.
It felt so awkwardly quiet in the cinema during the pie scene! So glad I didn't leave though, as it got really good afterwards :D All I was thinking was "I wonder how many takes this took?" and "I wonder if the puking was genuine, because the actress had just eaten 20 pies?"
Who watch this during covid 19 era and still sciped the pie scene but regret right after seeying this comment section any way have a chat with me about movies
In my opinion, there are two possibly notes that may she wrote. first "you can stay now" because of the conflict that they have. And the second one is "The treasures are on your own now" based on the book that she read
I have a lot of admiration for this Director David Lowery. He makes Amazing films. Really rare gems if you ask me. You don't ever see anything like his movies. They are all One-of-a Kind and that's super hard to find these days. This movie is simply Brilliant! So is "Ain't them bodies Saints"- I agree with the Director about the on screen chemistry between Rooney and Casey. Very powerful stuff. I do think the long passages where not much is happening are very effective. These scenes drew me in and made me think and feel this movie even more. The note that Rooney Mara wrote the words aren't all that important it is the weight of the fact that she wrote it and-I felt-she wrote that note just for Casey. That's why he desperately needed to find it! My favorite scene in "Ain't them bodies"-is the opening scene-just a classicly gorgeous scene. The lighting-the field and what Rooney says as she is walking away and the way Casey comes to get her and they have that silly argument 😂 that shows they really love each other so incredibly much! Just B E A U T I F U L! I Love that scene! And all those letters he wrote to her. O. M. G.! That movie is first class brilliant and beautiful. All of it. Just a gorgeously shot film. And very sad too.
After watching all of David Lowery movies I have come to the conclusion he is the best ever even more talented than people like Scorsese, Coppola, Fincher, Villunueve and Darabont.
The “pie scene” is a scene of a sad pretty girl eating a pie for an interminable amount of time. Had I seen the film in a multiplex I would’ve desperately fled to a louder and more explosive form of entertainment, and rightfully so. At home I managed to stay awake through the drowsy self-indulgent first half of the film and was rewarded with a fascinating thought provoking rumination on what it means to be alive, and or dead.
I always felt that this film is somehow connected to “COCO”. I have this conclusion that the note is about goodbye/letting go/moving on/forgetting. That’s why he disappeared when he got it. She released him long time ago. Just like in coco, the ghosts disappears when no one’s left to remember them.
I believe it says something like: I will never come back. In the movie there are several scenes that give you exact hints on that. So even if the director unintentionally doesn't know what it says he made it so by the movie. I wouldn't actually see another reason for the ghost to go. especially when he forgets through time.
Stephane Gregory Dan my theoryyy exxxactttllyyyy ! Specially that at the start of the movie she was telling him abt all those notes she left behind And he was wondering why she did that..she was like in case I ever come back and he asked her if she ever did ? ..she was like no .. so he was actually waiting for her to comeback this time but in that note I think she actually wrote that she's not coming back and that what made him let go...
after thinking for some time it really makes sense that the movie is about letting go and moving on ..... that's why the ghost didn't go into the light and that's why the other ghost moved on when it finally realizes that maybe they are not coming back wonderful experience =) loved that movie
As for someone who’s lost a lot of loved ones as well who’s fascinated by ghosts and the afterlife I loved this movie. The time aspect. How it moves differently in that realm. That’s been the most common denominator throughout all films and stories that deal with that. Idk I liked it.
Simply beautiful. A work of art. And am I correct in thinking, that at the very end, his wife was there too? Having waited for him also at the house but in a different time wave.
The director said that C (the Ghost) was in the house 'for several hundred years'. I believe his wife M moved into the light when it was her time. And she was waiting for him to read the note - and finally go into the light, reuniting with her. 🙂
Just watched this again - what isn't explained is who the second ghost is right at the ending before he finally gets the note - there are 2 ghosts both in the living room - maybe the second one is his wife?
I really loved the pie scene. To me, it felt like it was intentionally too long, too much of too little, much like what the character was feeling. She seemed to be feeling empty - cavernous in fact - so much so that it ached, and the only way to take away the pain was to fill up the hole that her husband left behind, until it was too much. I'm glad they left it as a single take, because if they had done a montage or a series of takes, like most other modern directors would, it wouldn't have had the same tone, and it would have given the character a desperation that simply wasn't there.
I saw this movie at the cinema, and several people walked out, and I admit, I came close to calling it quits too, but I’m glad I didn’t because the ending blew me away.
The pie scene made me cry my eyes out. It was so real. No crazy dramatics and loud crying with swelling violins, it was just watching a woman deal with death. This movie was absolutely magic.
TOTALLY agree!!!!
It definitely made you feel for her.
the movie slows so when we fall to cry it's right there with you ...
❤️
it made me actually feel sick
When the other ghost realized "they" weren't coming and finally moved on, I couldn't help but cry. I hope they find whoever they are looking for in whatever afterlife the movie briefly showed during the hospital scene.
you may want to check out this film After Life (Wandafuru Raifu) directed by Hirokazu Koreeda.
You do understand this was only a fictional movie right?
I felt sad for the ghost. They waited so long that they don't remember who they were waiting for. I feel the same way. I'm waiting on someone I shouldn't be waiting on but I'm stubborn. I'm losing memories but I won't let go. I won't move on.
@@Seiryuki2002 and three months later?
OR they learned to let go!! To not need it any more!
I believe the pie scene explains the depression and sadness of loosing someone close
ChaliceOfSouls When I was 23, I lost my little brother. The pie scene had me crying by the end of it. I experienced those moments of grief where some people might get relief from drinking, from drugs, from cutting. The pie was just showing a normal event, taken to wild excess to try and dull the pain. In those moments you will do almost anything to make it stop.
The pie scene explains grief so well and anything to take away the pain of loosing someone
I kept crying in cinema
I cried a lot watching the pie scene
I ran out of lotion because of the pie scene.
I just want to point out that this man made me cry my eyes out in a theater full of people. Incredible movie, absolutely adored it.
Same!!! I felt like I was with the ghost (C) throughout his whole journey, beginning to end.
When the other ghost, I thought it was his neighbor (the other one in the car accident), vanished in the air I felt... Really sad and my eyes were full of tears. I think he said "They'll never come" or something. I was sad because he didn't even remembered who "they" were... I mean... It broke my heart. Beautiful movie.
@@frankoceanstanaccount7126She said, "They aren't comin back".
The song '"I Get Overwhelmed" by Dark Rooms heightened this films deep meaning and connectivity, simply beautiful and moving

I love that song, it still sits in my playlist and every time it comes on I get reminded of how great this movie was.

Yes! That's where the movie got me and I got it.
It's a great song. I thought Casey Affleck sang it. It's still great though.

I love how they shot this movie. I'm really glad someone in Hollywood is willing to take risks. The tightrope he explained about filming with the sheet was very interesting.
Just watched this movie last night. I cried when the neighbor ghost disappeared, then he realized what's going on. Such a powerful movie, and deserves more recognition
I can't believe that the PIE SCENE actually "needs" an explanation. To me it couldn't be any more literal, the meaning its right there implicit on every second, the grief, the pain, the loneliness, the sadness, the anger... the length of the scene it's quite obvious as well, the director wants you to be in the skin of the character for a few minutes.
Are people really that shocked to see a long scene on a semi-mainstream film? Da fuck man.
It's because this is the internet, where people with very little life experiences, intelligence, or empathy are allowed to comment. That said, I think the pie scene was too long. It should have been a series of real-time events with multiple shots, like of the wife looking at old pictures, her husband's old possessions, and silent depiction of her emotions. That would have conveyed the same message without people getting annoyed.
A movie doesn't have to be made for making you feel comfortable, in many cases works the opposite way
I know the director said it was meant to be almost uncomfortable, but I think that's a poor artistic tool, especially in the context of your audience paying money, scheduling time out of their day, and sitting in a theater to watch someone eat pie for 7 minutes at the beginning of a film.
It seems people interpreted that scene as an intimate real-time moment of a widow after losing her loved one. Totally understandable concept but it could have been executed much better, such as the way I mentioned. If you ever heard stories of people who lost loved ones, immediately up on hearing the news they do things like: sit in the deceased person's room, look through their possessions, cry hysterically, look at their pictures, smell their clothes, etc. All she did in focus was eat pie and listen to his song with a pensive expression.
Don't be patronising. I understand why the pie scene was there. Everyone who criticises it does. The scene failed because it reminded me, and everyone else that we were watching a movie, that the pie was more real than the Widow and her grief. You can't blame the audience if YOU failed to communicate with the vaste majority of them.'
"The scene failed"... who the fuck are you? lolololol
Ghost Story feels like an epic short film. Only 90 minutes, but brings many of life’s biggest questions to the table.
This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
Im sure this amazing piece of cinema isnt underrated in certain circles, but it feels vastly underrated. I feel sad when i hear some people saying its pretentious..I felt it profoundly moving, the true meaning of total loneliness observing life whilst invisible. The inevitable frustration of having no ability to interact. The futility of hope through the passing of time. The words on an old note that finally brings closure.. Visually captivating, and where the absence of dialogue actually adds to the atmosphere. It's emotionally haunting. Just beautiful.
I have to say I wanted to hug that ghost of his so much. All the ghosts..
Thanks to the interviewer as he managed to ask the questions that made me think a lot after watching the movie and I really was seeking any kind of explanation, here, I think I am more satisfied and less confused
The pie scene is so absorbing I couldn't help but feel the longer the scene went on, the longer I watched the more committed I was to the scene and more invested I became into her sadness and mourning. And my heart broke for the ghost just standing there watching her the whole time. Also my heart broke for the ghost in the other house who was waiting for someone she couldn't remember.
Whatever the note said was what he needed to hear to move on. And time as we know it doesn’t exist where he is. The little girl who put the note under the rock reminded him of what he originally wanted to do, to get that note. I love this movie, one of my favourites. So beautiful. ❤️
My 20 year old daughter and I only watched the movie, 'A Ghost Story', for the first time a couple of months ago on Foxtel and we were absolutely floored. You see so many fast-paced, action-packed, multi-million dollar bullshit films/movies now days, full of violence, carnage and human nastiness that they all start becoming sickening to the stomach and so blatantly predictable that they leave you feeling like you just wasted your own precious time on this Earth by watching the crap.
Then along comes something like David Lowery's low budget, thought provoking movie 'A Ghost Story'. With it's stillness and it's quietness. With it's incredible thought provoking acting that draws the viewer into feeling their every emotion. I honestly started to feel like spewing my guts up watching how much pie was being eaten, and then suddenly M sprung to her feet, ran, and puked it all up in the bathroom. That scene was intentional and powerful. There is a difference between just making a movie and creating a movie. 'A Ghost Story' is such a creation that will only appeal to those of us who 'get it'. And there are millions of us. Those of us who are already at the same level of mindfulness. We get it, and it moves us to tears. I feel absolutely privileged to have seen it.
Now about this song. This beautiful, beautiful song. I have no words good enough to describe it. My heart, my mind, and my whole being feels like I have just discovered 'THE' song that could literally change the world. Daniel Hart is an absolute Artist, with a capacity beyond anything words can say. He lives and breathes in the profound beauty of his talent. For those of you who haven't tried it, I suggest you sit in a comfortable chair with your eyes closed and listen to it - volume up - with a quality set of headphones. It will travel deep into your soul. You'll never feel the same again.
Daniel Hart and David Lowery make an awesome team.
When the movie finished, my daughter and I just sat there.....absolutely stunned. Then what followed was hours and hours of discussion - relating to each scene - the meaning behind it - and its effect it had on us. We couldn't stop talking about it........and the song. The song will never ever leave me.
Show less
I never paid any attention to a song...why...I do not know.
TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!
Such a beautiful comment.
I completely agree with your 1st paragraph. So True about almost all of the movies today. I am still floored by all the new ways to film gore and violence. Like, who sits around the studio room and green lights all this awful stuff being unleashed onto our already suffering society? Like people need to see more violence and blood and horror? Is that going to help Society become more mindful and peaceful towards one another? Adding chaos upon chaos doesn't help.
This Movie- Thankfully!- was none of that.
@judyhaylock7934 EXACTLY thank you for putting my feelings into words.
we couldnt even wtch that long pie scene. but the ghost stayed and watched over her so many years... awesme movie :')
I'm glad we never saw what the note said, it was something special to Casey's character that allowed him to finally let go and move on. It makes a statement about "stuff" doesn't really matter, all things will eventually turn to dust either naturally or deliberately as those who come in future needs take over things. What matters is the connections you make in life, the people you touch and affect. I loved the film and it had me in tears at the very last scene.
It's a beautiful movie. Thank you David...
For me, the pie eating scene showed to me that she suddenly had this huge void in her life and she was looking to fill it in any way possible.
As a Hospice nurse, THIS is the answer.
You nailed it. The pie scene was definitely uncomfortable and truly melancholy. Loved this film.
It made me physically sick!!!
The Note reminded me of the Bill Murray whisper to Scarlett Johanson in "Lost in Translation"
My thoughts exactly
The whole film was an amazing experience, it allowed me to feel the pain of loss and it sent me through a journey across a spectrum of feeling, not a lot of films can do that nowadays and for that, if I said I liked A Ghost Story it will be an understatement.
I dont like feeling weak. But this movie did.. i hate the feeling. But the movie is a 10/10 hit me right in the gut
Beautiful and deeply affecting film. The feelings I had watching it have stayed with me years later. Very moving and, yes, ultimately comforting. Classic.
When he talks to the other ghost who says they don’t remember who they are waiting for - that hit me hard. Great, different kind of movie.
I loved it .... when he was finally able to open the note.... he finds his freedom .... her last symbol of love to him ....whatever it may have said.... life repeated itself and still he waited 🙏
In life he felt an attachment to the house ... bc his ghost was haunting it ! 😔
First of all, I knew his movie had to be good having Casey and Rooney as lead actors but damn! my expectations were by far exceeded! I was many times in tears throu out the movie. The pie scene was necessary! so powerful and painful... Those who walked out probably were watching the pie being eaten not watching Rooney and the pain and anger she was feeling and the tears that were falling!!! people like that do not deserve a movie like this, better go watch Transformers 5! -.- I was blown away by this amazing movie, need to watch it again. I watched a a week ago and there has not been a day that i havent thought about it.
TOTALLY agree!!
The said "You can Let Go" The last movie these two was in gave you a hint when she was reading the letter that said the same thing !
"Cosy movie"!?
I cried my eyes out.
One of the best films of 2017
I think it's the best actually (together with Phantom Thread and The Florida Project)
the pie scene, i can relate with. so many moments in my life i feel just so sad that i eat, absentmindedly.
This was a good film. It really got into my head. I didn’t like how I felt after I watched it, but I realized that’s because it left me affected. The hopelessness, the loneliness, the pointlessness of holding on to anything in this world. I felt so anxious and depressed afterwards.
I loved the story progression in this movie, because it starts so slow and gradually gets faster 'till you beginning to feel overwhelmed by so many things that are happening, but suddenly it all get weridly calm, an almost ominous type of calm. Then, the movie ends, the ghost isn't here anymore, just you with your doubts, feelings and uneasiness.
A truly beautifull film that makes you question your entire life, questions that are hard to deal with because they're so painful and their answers are so hard to find
Damn. He is so good at answering questions! Seriously, he's able to come up with incredibly thoughtful, tactful, interesting, and concise answers with what looks like no struggle at all, every time! I loved hearing his thoughts! Great film, great interview!
Really nice guy who had no problems discussing his movie. On the other hand if you want to see a director get pissed off at me....th-cam.com/video/QTvJ3LqtYTM/w-d-xo.html Lots of fun awkwardness there at about 10:43 lol.
I just watched this movie last night and it floored me. It left me with a lingering sense of depression, but it was so beautiful and moving I don't even care. I think it's the rare art film that doesn't have its head up its own ass to the point where no one can really enjoy it. It was, (pun intended), haunting.
stunned by how the plebs reacted with such anger to this film
Seriously, it's odd how so many people got pissed off by this movie. They don't have a grasp of overarching themes or introspection, or an attention span.
Cinder Cone and yet here you are
I agree with Cinder Cone. It is a crap film that didn't have anything new to say.
Cinder Cone The only intellectual dimwit here is you. It wasn't pretentious. Anyone who has lost anyone close resonated with it. It's not the director's fault you didn't get it or that your pot addled brain needed something a bit more simplistic and instantly gratifying.
When I'm alone, and whenever I'm thinking of my basic existence, I think of this movie. The art of this film succeeded in entering the thoughts.
This unassuming masterpiece still affects my thought processes and captivated my imagination so much, I have had to watch it again and again to put the pieces together. The hospital exit scene so moving. 👏👏👏👏
Lovely movie. A wonderful way to look at consciousness.
This was my favorite movie of 2017. I watched it every night for about a week and found every viewing to be a moving experience. I love this director. Even his Disney film (Pete's Dragon) was heads and shoulders above a lot of what's out there.
I was amazed by the slow but very thoughtful pace of how the events develop, an eerie photography and a haunting music add to the sadness and frustration experienced by the main characters, M & C, in a nutshell ; a rumination of sadness and love eternally thru space and time. Excellent movie, one of the best in 2017 !
I say ‘eternally’ because this is one of those movies where the story starts as a linear plot, you think you are going from point A to B, then ¾s ahead of the movie you realize that the story cycles back in re-inserts itself into an eternal loop, a circle with no start and no end, a Möbius Strip
This concept is very good exploited by Christopher Smith in 2009’s thriller Triangle, both stories have a lot in common and both have a pivotal point where the loop apparently starts and a both characters have a strong motivation.
Let’s see, in Triangle the character played by Melissa George dies and she is offered the option to move on ( the taxi driver, supposedly the devil ), she rejects it thinking that she can go back and fix things, driven by an immense guilt feeling over the dead of her son and how she mistreated him and neglected.
In the Ghost Story, C played by Casey Afleck is offered the option to move on into the next plane, heaven, purgatory etc, a glowing door appears for him to enter, he rejects it driven by love and a strong desire to reconnect with his wife.
At the beginning of the movie; the spectator is inserted into the middle of this circle, events have already been going on, in Triangle you see that many loops had already passed ( dead birds on the beach ), in the ghost story we can perceive that we are already in the loop, C complains about noises in the house , if you turn up the volume you will hear the scribbling and scratching on a wooden wall ( the ghost trying to dig up the note), someone making noises on a piano, strange bright lights etc, so there was a ghost already roaming the house, so C was already dead !, we are in the Nth loop. All of these hauntings were the reasons why M wanted to leave the house, C felt attached to it and he is destined to inhabit it forever.
And the proof that it will continue is given at the end, when ghost # 1 disappears after reading the note, but ghost # 2 stays, he will roam around that house, will go thru everything that we saw for ghost 1, will go to the future, jumps back to the past and eventually will disappear as well.
Another proof is that during the credits ( turn up the volume) and you will hear the Hispanic kids’ laughter, meaning that they moved ( the lady and her two kids ) to the house and the cycle will go on.
We see that both ghosts see M leaving the house but only the #1 knows about the note ( #2 still doesn’t) and the one that disappears is our #1 by looking at the dirty and ragged sheets, #2 has clean sheets, fresh from the morgue.
Eventually #2 will phase out and a new # 3 will appear, meaning that C will continue dying forever , the only way out of this eternal loop is to go thru the glowing door, i.e accepting and having the resignation to move on and let go.
What was written in the note is irrelevant, it just serves as motivation for C to go back, remember that C knows about the note only after his death, while alive he never saw M writing it and the jump to the far past is just extra material, all this wild west mini-story doesn’t add anything to our ghost quest except that it presents a possible explanation why M liked to hide notes, maybe the little girl somehow reincarnated in her.
the note said "Half Life 3 confirmed"
No. Cause he wouldn't vanished in that case.
Point is not in what was written in the note, the point is he got what he wanted and finally can Rest In Peace
@@alaoyable thank you,didn't think of that
My thought watching the pie scene was:
"How many takes did this scene take?"
"How many whole pies did she have to eat to get this right?"
"Is that a stunt pie?"
I had it in my notes to ask these burning questions and forgot to. The world may never know now :(
He said in one of those BUILD talks that the pie scene was only one take and for Rooney to take as long as she needs to to eat the pie lol
lol thanks! I was picturing half the budget to be pie related since the house itself was free to shoot in.
WHAT KIND OF PIE WAS IT. That's all I wanted to knoe
God, I missed the obvious question! Meh, maybe the DVD will come with a free slice...oh wait she ate it all.
+Dave Foster It was a chocolate pudding pie.
Sensational. One of my favourite movies. I revelled in every second. Deeply moving.
I wonder why he raised so much Hell with the Hispanic woman and her kids. My guess was that it's the family he always wanted but never got a chance to have
Antonio Jay I think he just wanted them out. I think he made a mess at the party with the guy speaking about time and the foot print we leave
Ema Oulhissane I was thinking that he probably started trashing the place during that party.
The house is all he has left of his former life after his wife moves, so he reclaims the building by it by scaring away the various occupants of the house.
Antonio Jay Because she needs to go back to Mexico. Trump 2020
Because he is a trump suporter
I remember being in complete awe during the pie eating scene. I wanted it to go on for another 10 minutes. Pure genius.
do not worry, watch the director´s cut ...the extended pie scene....there's another pie !
hater man is there a directors cut? I have the blu ray with additional features but i didnt even know about a directors cut
I watched a ghost story for the first time tonight on SBS world movies and I loved it it's moving in ways you don't expect. The underlying message we all want to be remembered 👻
Did it just debut there?
Will always be one of my favorite films
I think the note suggested something along the lines of giving him permission to leave, more specifically letting him know that she's going to be alright, and that he can now move on. Who agrees?
I think it said I'm not coming back." That goes along with their conversation in the beginning regarding her notes and never returning to her previous homes as well as the convo the ghost husband had with the other ghost where she says "I don't think they're coming." and disappears.
In addition, part of me thought the other ghost was actually the wife in another timeline, especially when she said "nevermind" like the wife did in the morgue when she identified her husband.
Heather Shands Ford you've missed the movie and you've got a totally wrong guess, the message is hidden in the book that drops. "The treasure yours"
There is a guy who explained it well in the comment section and it's pretty nice and clear.
Lofty Production or it says MAYONNAISE
Samson Daniel don’t tell people their interpretation of a movie is “wrong,” dickhead
I don't think it said literally said something like that, just that what it said had that effect on him. Something very personal that only he could relate to, knowing her so well.
Moral of the story : if you're wife ask you to move then move immediately.
Your*
Everything David explained about the film is what i got out of it...it's a beautiful film, the story, and tragedy of C is got to my skin, but understanding what he meant with it it's more relaxing...thank you Mr lowery for this project.
I understood the ghosts lived a fuzzy existence and that time wasn't linear at all for them reason why it wasn't that clear for him what was he waiting or doing there anymore, we get that from the other ghost that doesn't know who's he waiting anymore and goes away when he realizes they aren't coming back, that's the same realization Casey Affleck gets at the end in my opinion, at the begining R Mara tells him that she left notes in all the houses where she lived as a kid but never came back. SO it becomes clear to him that he has to move on regardless of what the note says.
The other ghost was a female (played by Kesha). She had on a sheet with a pretty print. I think she died at home. The sheet was likely from her deathbed.
saw it again last night and just like the first time the music just took me!
I’m sure I will see it again
months have passed and im still haunted by this movie. such a great one. I can't decide now which is my favorite movie, this or Waking Life. Thank you David Lowery.
Same here
Great interview!!
The “pie scene” being long and uncomfortable from a film aspect is really good. And I love the way he explains it perfectly. But for me I feel like it was the first clinical sign of her grief. She was so stoic throughout but that was the first time where you could see the depth of her feeling. How she felt about him, how she currently feels.
What I also love was the scenes at the end where he was haunted by his own ghost. The piano and the noises at the end were so unnerving when you get to consider it all. This was a really deep film.
I like to think the note said "it's okay, we can go."
The last thing Casey Affleck's character likely ever said to Rooney Mara's character.
Blissfully reminding him of a time where they were finally together again, and not just together in the physical sense.
You can never get enough of the things you don't need, even if you have too much of them. That's what the pie scene is about.
5:23 - 5:55 This gave me chills. I think I understand it a little.
Brilliant film. Heartbreakingly beautiful. ❤️
Just finished watching this film 3 minutes ago. Brilliant!
Just finished it myself ten minutes ago! And I find myself looking did explanations. This is a sign a movie sits with you. Beautifully tragic and haunting film.
It just left me hungry for some pie.
I really appreciated how fucking crazy this movie was.
I feel sad during the pie scene. I have been through a very sad break-up and and the lost is just so empty. You go on days without eating and sleeping. You will feel exhausted and when you do eat, you will eat a lot but you will not feel full. At the end of the day, I even vomitted for trying to eat to much. I think that scene, being hungry and broken at the same time really shows the human side.
It is one of the best original movies I haven't watched in a long time.
Genius!! Such a beautiful movie! the scene when the girl listens to the song he wrote OMG, was awesome, I could literally feel her feelings.
A brilliant, amazing and very emotional movie. Havent felt like this from a movie in a very long time. Pie scene, too long. But, bravo David.....
It felt so awkwardly quiet in the cinema during the pie scene! So glad I didn't leave though, as it got really good afterwards :D All I was thinking was "I wonder how many takes this took?" and "I wonder if the puking was genuine, because the actress had just eaten 20 pies?"
Jenny Brock it was her first time eating a pie, and it only took one take
Who watch this during covid 19 era and still sciped the pie scene but regret right after seeying this comment section any way have a chat with me about movies
In my opinion, there are two possibly notes that may she wrote. first "you can stay now" because of the conflict that they have. And the second one is "The treasures are on your own now" based on the book that she read
I think it's the first. This woman kissed some other dude. She moved on and through the hauntings she realized he still was bound to that house.
I have a lot of admiration for this Director David Lowery. He makes Amazing films. Really rare gems if you ask me. You don't ever see anything like his movies. They are all One-of-a Kind and that's super hard to find these days.
This movie is simply Brilliant! So is "Ain't them bodies Saints"- I agree with the Director about the on screen chemistry between Rooney and Casey. Very powerful stuff. I do think the long passages where not much is happening are very effective. These scenes drew me in and made me think and feel this movie even more. The note that Rooney Mara wrote the words aren't all that important it is the weight of the fact that she wrote it and-I felt-she wrote that note just for Casey. That's why he desperately needed to find it!
My favorite scene in "Ain't them bodies"-is the opening scene-just a classicly gorgeous scene. The lighting-the field and what Rooney says as she is walking away and the way Casey comes to get her and they have that silly argument 😂 that shows they really love each other so incredibly much! Just B E A U T I F U L! I Love that scene! And all those letters he wrote to her. O. M. G.! That movie is first class brilliant and beautiful. All of it. Just a gorgeously shot film. And very sad too.
A beautiful film. Made me cry.
brilliant film
I think the note says, "Ill see you soon" which is why he leaves immediately
peinDrumline
Oh my god that broke me!
That's actually amazing.
Wow
Wonder if it said, "I'm on your side now."
Hahahhahahhaah
The pie scene gave me an opportunity to press the fast forward button. The scene had the same impact at twice the speed.
After watching all of David Lowery movies I have come to the conclusion he is the best ever even more talented than people like Scorsese, Coppola, Fincher, Villunueve and Darabont.
The “pie scene” is a scene of a sad pretty girl eating a pie for an interminable amount of time. Had I seen the film in a multiplex I would’ve desperately fled to a louder and more explosive form of entertainment, and rightfully so. At home I managed to stay awake through the drowsy self-indulgent first half of the film and was rewarded with a fascinating thought provoking rumination on what it means to be alive, and or dead.
I always felt that this film is somehow connected to “COCO”. I have this conclusion that the note is about goodbye/letting go/moving on/forgetting. That’s why he disappeared when he got it. She released him long time ago. Just like in coco, the ghosts disappears when no one’s left to remember them.
I believe it says something like: I will never come back. In the movie there are several scenes that give you exact hints on that. So even if the director unintentionally doesn't know what it says he made it so by the movie. I wouldn't actually see another reason for the ghost to go. especially when he forgets through time.
Stephane Gregory Dan my theoryyy exxxactttllyyyy ! Specially that at the start of the movie she was telling him abt all those notes she left behind And he was wondering why she did that..she was like in case I ever come back and he asked her if she ever did ? ..she was like no .. so he was actually waiting for her to comeback this time but in that note I think she actually wrote that she's not coming back and that what made him let go...
after thinking for some time it really makes sense that the movie is about letting go and moving on .....
that's why the ghost didn't go into the light
and that's why the other ghost moved on when it finally realizes that maybe they are not coming back
wonderful experience =) loved that movie
This was one of the best movies Ive ever seen
Brilliant piece of cinematography. Very unique.
I think the note is the quote from the beginning of the movie, which I think can be interpreted as meaning letting go
A masterpiece.
amazing movie - it stays with you
Amazing movie so glad I watched it
As for someone who’s lost a lot of loved ones as well who’s fascinated by ghosts and the afterlife I loved this movie. The time aspect. How it moves differently in that realm. That’s been the most common denominator throughout all films and stories that deal with that. Idk I liked it.
Simply beautiful. A work of art. And am I correct in thinking, that at the very end, his wife was there too? Having waited for him also at the house but in a different time wave.
No, he's watching himself watching her. It’s the whole point of the film. He eventually learns to examine his own behaviour.
The director said that C (the Ghost) was in the house 'for several hundred years'. I believe his wife M moved into the light when it was her time. And she was waiting for him to read the note - and finally go into the light, reuniting with her. 🙂
Just watched this again - what isn't explained is who the second ghost is right at the ending before he finally gets the note - there are 2 ghosts both in the living room - maybe the second one is his wife?
I really loved the pie scene. To me, it felt like it was intentionally too long, too much of too little, much like what the character was feeling. She seemed to be feeling empty - cavernous in fact - so much so that it ached, and the only way to take away the pain was to fill up the hole that her husband left behind, until it was too much. I'm glad they left it as a single take, because if they had done a montage or a series of takes, like most other modern directors would, it wouldn't have had the same tone, and it would have given the character a desperation that simply wasn't there.
This is a horror movie for anyone who has ever loved…..I stand stricken
What is said on the note is alluded to in the movie. "The Treasure yours".
It is 2022 I jus watch this movie and was great
I saw this movie at the cinema, and several people walked out, and I admit, I came close to calling it quits too, but I’m glad I didn’t because the ending blew me away.
I fast forwarded the pie scene :)
One of my favorite movies
