      It's like a a mutual break up. You both know it's time to move on but aren't quite sure how to end things until one of you finally does it. Star Wars just went and made the first step. They're a bit shocked but understanding of the situation. They'll take pot shots at their ex, as we all do, and eventually move on to something more substantial and fulfilling. Or RLM have realized they're 30 somethings talking about kids movies and all they have to look forward to now is the grave.

    What a fantastic movie A Ghost story is. I was immersed.
    About the pie eating, it seems very long at the time also because it's presented early in the movie, but it makes sense later as Mike pointed, it has multiple purposes. Also, I think it represents quite well the storm of emotions when you lose someone, in the way that you start to ask "Will this feeling, this void, this sadness ever go away?" (like you seeing the movie asking how long will this scene go on), and for a period it seems it will not, it lingers, it even grows again (as she starts to eat it faster and angrily midway through), but then time passes by and surely enough it starts to fade away, life happens and you have to move on.

      @hazyhalfmoon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Yeah the ending was terrible lol. Not only was it jarring for the reason you mentioned, and that it didnt match the tone of the rest of the movie, but also it was just stupid because how could two little girls just run in to Magic Kingdom without being stopped, paying tickets, etc. It would have been better if they ran away to that tree they would play pretend on. Or, if she just got taken away by CPS and the last shot was her in the back of the van driving past a billboard of a Disney advertisement saying “Happiest place on earth”

      Could not disagree more. I can't stand the pretentious nature of the films A24 and Focus put out. Both have made 1, maybe 2 films I would be interested in watching, but the way everyone talks about them makes me avoid them like the plague.

    You guys are awesome and boldly honest with your analysis. A Ghost Story was such a refreshing movie experience amongst the crash and bang style of movie making we see all too often today. If you have ever second guessed yourselves please don't, you guys are spot on! Keep it up!!!

  • @the_narthex

    Reading the online reviews at the end was my favorite part. I always get a kick out of how so many negative sound precisely the same. The phrase, "I want that _____ minutes of my life back" (and variations of that phrase) is used so often that I'm surprised anyone still thinks they're clever for using it.

    The most interesting thing about A Ghost Story is that Rooney Mara actually did write something on the piece of paper for the first scene. Lowery simply asked Mara to write down something that felt personal and meaningful to her, the movie and her character. What she wrote, folded and painted into the wall went down with the house in the demolition scene, and the note that Affleck’s ghost retrieves was shot with a different piece of paper. In the footage you can’t see it, Casey has no idea what it said because with the sheet he could barely see. So in the end Mara was the only one who actually knew what gave the ghost closure...

      Replying 4 years later but just in case anyone else is worried about this: the movie is, fundamentally, incredibly hopeful. It brushes up against really big, scary concepts and it does get to you at points, but by the end I found that everything seemed to make a lot more sense. Not just things in the movie but things in my own life. It's a powerful movie and has changed my life more than any other film by far.

And in the end, I think it shows a single moment of true connection transcends time and space, and that's what existence is all about.

    20 years ago I read Gerald's Game, and the visceral moment near the end that Jay mentions was so intense that I got light-headed and fell to the floor, nearly passing out.
    When I watched the film on Netflix, I knew what was coming and was waiting for it, and it was performed and presented so well that I had the exact same reaction 2 decades later.
