A didn't Get it *spoilers*

p.s. your spelling didn't bother me. I hate it when people answer post not anwering the question.

I can't help you with why they were stranded in the middle of nowhere, cause I'm wondering about the same thing. But Michael, Elena's brother btw, went in the opposite direction because John discovered that he had helped set up the shooting at the ice rink. (sp?) That was what was in his agenda. And in the following conversation he told John why he'd done what he did.

I think they knew they were going to die as soon as they reached the top of the hill, and there were no houses, like they expected it to be. Don't know why they didn't get back on the road, suppose it was a metaphore for something. Perhaps this was also a part of Michael's plan for Elena's death, and he lured them out there. But then it back fired when John found out?

Hmmmm.... still lots of un-answered questions. Guess I gotta see this movie one more time.

Yes please STFU, about a grammer and spelling lecture please, when the real reason behind it is because someone is probably typing too fast and doesn't obsess or care to edit. BTW, besides misuse of acronyms, I have also misused a comma, homynyms, spelling and sentences!

There are sorts of mistakes that only native English speakers and people who want to be like them instead of learning the language properly make, you know. I've noticed. I won't tell anyone off for it, but it's really annoying to see bad spelling and grammar, because many times it is difficult for a non native English speaker like me to understand it.

Ok, so maybe I'm an elitist snob. But how one spells and uses grammar is a reflection upon one's intelligence and education. For example, I sometimes misspell words and bungle my grammar. This is because I am not a genius. On the other hand, I do make an attempt to be understood, and most importantly, I PROOFREAD MY MESSAGES BEFORE I CLICK "POST." Furthermore, if you're misspelling in order to be "hip," "cool," or cute, it's just plain rude.

By the way, I agree with everyone about how poorly this movie was executed. I think this director must suffer from what I call the "George Lucas" syndrome: Not enough people around him with guts enough to tell him "No, George, don't do that. Jar-Jar Binks a bad idea. Ewoks are a bad idea."

me too, i guess that was the most impressive thing this movie achieved. i hate it when people in the movies are trying to make a point and go on and on about it, as if they're audience were brainless morons. quite a few things were just dropped in and left like that, without bothering to spell everything out for you, which was nice (esp. liked the sean penn idea, though when he dies he says it's snowing everywhere and then you see the people flying in africa, where it's still hot and sunny- so why is it only getting colder in the us and europe? did i miss something?). also, i usually don't like joaqin phoenix very much (in fact i avoid him as far as possible) after watching him in 'gladiator', which was PAINFUL to say the least; this time, though, he came across surprisingly well i think. but please, tell me what their point was? after all was said and done? or was it their point to not actually make a point? i couldn't really come up with a 'morale' or anything the like, even though they rediscovered their love nothing changed. of course the people around them were exposed as ruthless and everything, now that i come to think of it i wouldn't even trust betsy; but then this isn't an everyday situation, she was a hugely successful ice-skater, i daresay some of the ideas might have worked better if placed in a more banal environment, don't you think? so still, i'd be really interested in what you guys got out of it.
