My biggest problem with these movies is that even though I understand it's meant to be an allegory for unresolved trauma and how you have to put on a smile while feeling like you're dying inside, the "All in your head" trope makes it as if the entity doesn't exist at all, and this is just a movie about someone's mental break. Which isn't scary anymore. There's no monster. Just hallucinations and insanity. I feel like your version corrects that and makes the entity fully realized as more than just a figment of the imagination.
I agree with your criticisms. Having nothing be real is supposed to be disorienting but it just makes there be no stakes and annoying to try and keep track of what's actually happening. Also, they've pulled the "ha ha! You can't beat the smile monster!" at he end on us twice now so I'll probably boycott the third if the character is just going be doomed from the start.
this!! I feel like if they ever do a third movie they should actually find a way to defeat it... like maybe someone fully overcoming their trauma, or make getting electrocuted, or dying and the person who witnessed it also dying.. smth like that
Many of your criticism don’t make sense. you need to consider 1) she is a pop star, with not as much brains as the lady in the first movie who is a doctor. Therefore she is less intelligent and less capable of figuring out how to do things much less detective work. That is what the director was trying to show us. That different characters with different intelligence, background, personality respond to threats differently. Also, you need to consider that sky has much more trauma and history of mental instability from drug use. That’s why she was so helpless when it came to fighting this demon as opposed to the doctor lady. Again, DIFFERENT backgrounds, DIFFERENT outcomes. Sometimes you need to watch movies not for progression of plot or characters like you say. Sometimes you just need to watch it for the fun of it.
I'm a drug addict so the movie was very relatable for me. Plus I also really thought they did a great job at showing the traumas of a Pop Star (We think their life is easy but after all this P*do stuff that is coming out in Hollywood or in the Music industry shows the deep Abyss that this really is). Oh and the scene at the beginning was just a great connection to the first movie. The person got no chance from the beginning... not in the first nor the second movie. That's one of the specialitys of this thing... to lure you into false security just to crumble it in front of your eyes.
@@noodles6390you still a drug addict or are you not anymore? You don’t have to say anything at all, it’s just surprising to me to see someone admit to being a drug addict on yt
Love this idea so much, and I had an idea for a change that I think would be a great last scare before Skye offs herself. Instead of just one girl in the crowd smiling, after Skye gives her emotional speech and the crowd is cheering for her, she notices the people slowly put their hands down, and after getting a closer look, realizes every single person in the crowd is smiling at her. After this, Skye gets disoriented and than this is when the demon takes over, with the rest being the same as you proposed. The shot of an entire crowd grinning at Skye could be very disturbing to see and I think it would be a lot creepier than just one person.
I actually think that they did this because it's showing the viewers the many possible ways to defeat the Smile monster. I think in a future movie, the main character might use all of those ways to their advantage. For example, in the next movie, they could show way that someone could differentiate what's real and what isn't and maybe even being able to suppress the visions and make the time they're able to be alive(7 days) longer and giving them a chance to fight back.
This franchise is like Saw or Final Destination. We already know what to expect. Final Destination doesn't even offer solutions that work because you can't beat death and I think this is one of those things you can't beat
I do think this entity does have a weakness, Because it is like a parasite were it requires a host to live. Now I do like the whole fake out thing but in this, smile 1 while the fakeout with Joel and rose was clever smile 2 was really clever, and makes you question if what you are experiencing is real or not
100% spot on regarding character agency. It's what makes the difference between an engaging plotline with a proactive character versus a protracted two-hour execution. Someone making all the smart moves and *still* being outplayed is much, much scarier than "LOL i win cause reasons".
I think sky went through a character arc, even though it was a hallucination. She got the courage to run away from everything and say “fuck the tour” Also, i think there was a point where Maurice was supposed to be Joel from the begining. I think Joel was supposed to escape and try and help Skye until the writers realized this created some issues and just axed him unceremoniously in the beginning
About the lenght of the movie, I didnt even notice that it was 2h long. The progression for every state of Skye's insanity was well done and it seem like it was way shorter
I really like your version of this movie, because after the movie ended I felt like I was dizzy just like sky was, and that's about all I took from the movie- - there was no real pathway of plot, just the monster is sending her from one delusion to another and then killed her in the end. I think I would have enjoyed your version much more
When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was a very good movie, but clearly it has errors and the plot itself is not very original, they focused a lot on details that make it better, nothing else. Let's face it... Smile 2 ends exactly as the first film. Except that this one was with different circumstances and with a bigger scale at the end.
The ending didn't explain how she got to the concert. I got confused. She went from wearing the hoodie jacket to the butterfly outfit at the concert after the dancer attacked her and she got possessed in her apartment/condo? The final scene doesn't make sense to me. Laura, Rose and Lewis wore the same dress before the demon made them killed themselves. At the concert scene she was wearing the dress she refused to wear, why would they make her wear that? At the end credits, you can hear her screaming and banging at the freezer door. Looks like the ending is a hallucination.
Yea ig it just shows that while skye’s consciousness was somewhere else the smile demon completely took over so he could pretend to be skye in the real world and having her go to the concert anyways and by the time she regains consciousness over her body and realizes she at the concert it’s too late
I think Skye was trying to be too rational about what the hell was going on. Clearly she was seeing things and losing touch with reality she should’ve taken it more seriously sooner. Yeah by day 3 she was a lost cause but still there was a small window of opportunity that she could’ve taken with Morris before the creature used that against her.
A lot of fair points, although i really liked the fake out, mainly because we finally think that she might won, only to strip away everything and our hopes for her survival finally dying when we get to the stage scene. I think the fact that her ex girlfriend was never actually there to comfort her like when she hallucinated one of his fans breaking in and charging at her was really creepy. There is a lot to love, and we are all different, but good points!
My problem with both movies is that they introduce a concept of defeating the thing but don't actually use them. We had to wait until the second one to see the whole 'kill to survive' shtick. It's kind of irritating because it's dangling a cool idea in front of the audience with no intention of actually going through with it. I also don't think the villain of a movie needs to necessarily be beatable. If it is something like a virus, like in Cabin Fever, it makes sense that it's basically unbeatable. The Deadites in the Evil Dead franchise are also almost unbeatable once they've possessed someone. Amelia never gets rid of the Babadook. I think in Smile, it's the fact that the movie goes 't'was a dream!' that takes the tension out. At what point of the movie do I stop caring because what the main character does doesn't matter anymore? If I could've changed the ending, I probably would've made Morris become infected. Skye has the fight with the demon, where she ultimately decides to potentially sacrifice herself. Morris storms back in, nearly fails in resuscitating her, but ultimately brings her back. We follow Skye back to the concert hall where she has her concert. The camera zooms out, showing Morris watching her on TV. He is content until someone knocks at his door. As he gets up, the knocking turns to full-on banging, someone screaming to let them out. Morris, being smart, doesn't open the door but instead grabs a weapon and goes to call the police but has no reception, which is sPoOkY. The banging has stopped and Morris investigates the door. Calling out to the person, looking through the peephole, nothing is there, just an empty hallway. He opens the door to find himself in the back of the freezer. Skye's decomposed body is lying on the floor and he sees himself leaning against the door of the freezer crying. He realises what is happening, turns around only to be faced with the freezer door, and starts banging on it, begging someone to let him out. This would, to a certain extent, close out Skye's arc of her guilt and overcoming her 'selfishness'. It would make Morris more than a one-off exposition character. It would explore a concept introduced in the movie but still leave the door open to revisit it because technically Morris failed. It would raise the interesting question of what the being would do if there was no one else around. Would Morris survive until someone rescues him? Would the being turn his mind to absolute mush or back off until it has a real chance of spreading? There are a ton of ways to rewrite this movie. I thought your idea was fun, I'm just not a fan of the 'it spreads to everyone' ending. I think it's predictable, it's nothing new or exciting, and it's just not consistent in any way. Why did the demon wait until it was possessing a pop star? Is it too stupid to walk in front of a train or jump off a building? The last person it possessed was a cop, which are famously used for safety in big concert halls. Could it not do something then? Could it not just go in the middle of the street and kill its host? Btw, Naomi Scott did a terrific job acting, I was absolutely captivated by her performance. Favourite jumpscare of the movie would probably be the one with Jemma in the bed where her skull glows and she sounds like a car horn. You anticipate a jumpscare, but it's just so out there and over the top, it legitimately made my body take a screenshot.
Although I've eventually grown to like the actual third act and ending, I do appreciate your version of it and having Skye Riley more agency. One thing I'd also keep that certain pivotal moment is Skye facing her past self in the freezer (or even in the same car situation) because confronting her inner demon (her poor choices like substance abuse which lead to causing Paul’s death) than someone representing her externalizing blame and guilt (Paul Hudson) felt more fitting. Relations with your rewritten version to hype up the ending even better, it could've been her character development and journey towards self-acceptance and personal growth/accountability within.
Why cut out gemma? The demon needed to break her and toy with her emotions before fully taking over. What better way to do that by gaining trust then dissolving it causing them to lose hope? It was meant to display the degree of cunning and sadism the entity was willing to go through.
Oooh! Great job, man! Also, is “Skye” doing the smile when she reassures the crowd she is kidding, or is she doing in a way that makes her seem like she’s not being creepy at all?
I think this movie would have been a better for ending the trilogy. Having the last death being infront of a crowd would have been a better ending to leave the audience with the possibilities. I think the sequel should have built off cop character at the beginning but having 2 people see the a horrible death and have the demon torment 2 people. This ending should have been the third installment in my opinion. Because I don’t see them making a movie following this. Just a prequel or something.
Honestly i think the movie is perfect and nightmarish enough the way it is The unreliability of the narrator and the cyclical hallucinations, and even the fact that its so hard to keep a track of whats real and whats not, makes the film dven more harrowing and unsettling. I think the primary difference between Parker Finn and You, evsn tho u went to the same school, is that while he is creatively disposed and honed his storytelling craft, and ur just a moviebuff, a geek if you will. So, yeah.
My issues: 1. The demon is massively OP 2. The monster basically retcons the premise that the demon is a virus that is instantaneously spread through witnessing an unaliving, which is way cooler and makes much more sense. 3. This movie came out the same time as the Substance, which wins in the Flesh Monster department. 4. The ending kinda rips off the ending of Truth or Dare, which is massively overhated That being said, Smile 2 is easily one of my favorite movies this year, and Naomi Scott absolutely smashed it
I really enjoy this breakdown. It’s nice to see someone share the same sentiments as I do. Most either love or hate the film but I see the vision, there’s a story there. The problem is some poor choices made story wise along the way. Like you’ve shown, we can keep the same key beats bc they were good but the lesser beats were where the movie fell short.
11:25 every thing including her meeting the man never really happened The night her friend Lewis bludgeoned him self with the weights the next day was her wearing that outfit that she wears at the end cos the end takes place on the same night as her wearing the dress This movie is a mjndfuck. It messes with your head in more ways than one. Overall the Scares/ Jump scares were done perfectly in this movie. Only thing I like was the twists turns. The acting was great too
That's... not true. Morris was real. The large hallucination began after the dancer attack in her apartment. The reason she's wearing that outfit she didn't want to wear was because apparently the demon had been puppeteering her body and I probably had her change her mind just to fuck with her
Sky is an unreliable narrator like most main characters are in smile movies. They don't have to explain all weaknesses of the monster they want us to try to think about it. it keeps the movie alive in her heads if they do make a part 3 it has to get killed if it doesn't then I'll be upset. The first meeting with Morris was real the second one wasn't. Very few movies these days show the main characters getting f***** up in situations but not getting out We did learn about the monster sky just didn't make it so hopefully they kill it in the next one
@@CaseNancarrow I think maybe writer/director Parker Finn couldn't figure it out to let Skye defeat and kill the demon. He should've known to let her beat it and that would make people satisfy.
Who likes a monster who can’t be beat? For example like every monster has a weakness or something you can do to help you survive, but I don’t disagree with you, sometimes the main protagonist needs to die, instead of always living
my very first thought when i watched the movie : horrid cgi, it took away any tension i had left over when she was standing on the stage at the end of the movie. also her death, they rather paid a small crowd to act scared than to actually film it.
The monster itself is actually practical puppet, it was practical from the moment it emerging, and they made this huge puppet that acquired 4 people to operate it, with the two of those people need to be in it. And honestly most of the CGI that they had, it's doesn't look so bad. The only CGI that probably I found displeasing to look it's probably the scene with the mom, and yeah the CGI blood that they had for this movie isn't as good as the first movie.

To be fair, skye did learn something and came to a character arc - she is a bad person who is empty inside.

I don’t think they should have included morris. I think they should have kept Joel alive and have him fill that role.
Yes and I think Joel surviving would’ve been better he could’ve probably saved Skye. Probably!
Agreed. They could've replaced Morris with Joel. Skye and Joel had big stars and Morris didn't.
@@CircumstancesNeverMatterit felt really forced the fact they decided to delete Joel and Skye too, almost an easy way

I really liked the short sequence of the girl at the piano singing.

Smile 2 honestly surprised me. I thought the movie was gonna be bad because the marketing for the movie was awful
My issues:
1. The demon is massively OP
2. The monster basically retcons the premise that the demon is a virus that is instantaneously spread through witnessing an unaliving, which is way cooler and makes much more sense.
3. This movie came out the same time as the Substance, which wins in the Flesh Monster department.

Who likes a monster who can’t be beat? For example like every monster has a weakness or something you can do to help you survive, but I don’t disagree with you, sometimes the main protagonist needs to die, instead of always living
my very first thought when i watched the movie : horrid cgi, it took away any tension i had left over when she was standing on the stage at the end of the movie.
also her death, they rather paid a small crowd to act scared than to actually film it.
The monster itself is actually practical puppet, it was practical from the moment it emerging, and they made this huge puppet that acquired 4 people to operate it, with the two of those people need to be in it. And honestly most of the CGI that they had, it's doesn't look so bad. The only CGI that probably I found displeasing to look it's probably the scene with the mom, and yeah the CGI blood that they had for this movie isn't as good as the first movie.
It’s practical
You have the most stupid opinion
@@sgfredbear8114 either way my point is, it's bad
