I can't bring myself to watch the trailers. I'm Asian and those Indonesian horror movies I watched as a kid still traumatised me even though they rely on really cheap, often hilarious, special effects. They are grounded on some well known urban legends, imo it's a cutural thing. Similar to how I'd never find The Shining or most Western movies scary.
The Ring scene someone upthread posted still terrifies me. Our ghosts have to have scraggly hair, poorly applied whiteface and barely functioning limbs okay?
Haven't read through all the comments here but I have to say, as much as I loved it in the end, the whole time I was watching it I thought, why isn't the heir of a tycoon businessman riding a limousine, instead of a taxi? Also, they were dreaming for 10 hours right cause it was an overnight flight? Wouldn't they have gotten Deep Vein Thrombosis from not moving that long? I guess I'm nitpicking a bit, but with all the holes in the dream logic thrown around, I thought I'd share my more basic questions.
Also glad I'm not the only one who couldn't give a shit about the Mal storyline. This is my first time watching Marion Cotillard, and I was honestly puzzled why she got that Oscar once. She was the most grating part of the movie for me and I was kind of annoyed when Ellen Page's character kept wanting Leo's character to go find her, I just wanted her to go away and forgotten like a bad dream. Ha-ha?
The baiting argument for me doesn't really hold up because to me, if she had the thought to bait him, then that indicates that there must have been some kind of precedent of verbal abuse. Maybe this 'baited' recording was meant to compel him to go on a racist, misogynistic diatribe, but then again maybe there were earlier verbal abuses that escaped being exposed and were actually more shiver-inducing (yikes). But yes, we need more context, and an unedited recording would help, but I'm not sure I would sit through another round of these conversations.
I'm so sorry, are you talking to me? Oh I thought you were talking to me. Are you talking to me? Oh.
