Why did the daughter think


Elizabeth moss punched her? She looked away for a split second and moss was still lying on the ground five feet away. I'm not saying she should have immediately started believing in invisible men, but clearly there was no way Moss could have leaped off the ground, hit her, and returned to the same spot all in the blink of an eye.

Because when there are two people in a room and you turn your back, get punched then you assume it’s the other person.

reply

who would you think was the culprit, if it was you that got hit?

reply

Well unless that other person was Goku, I'm going to trust my eyes and assume theres no way they could have zipped across the room and back in the blink of an eye without me seeing anything.

reply

so who do you think did it?

reply

I'm not saying it wouldn't be a WTF moment of confusion, but if i'm fairly sure the other person in the room couldn't have done it and that person is saying they didn't, it's going to lend some credence to her invisible ex theory.

reply

One would perhaps be disoriented after being hit, so one might not have seen what the other person was up to? Did the daughter know of the invisible ex?

reply

When my "crazy" friend is going on and on about some invisible person in the house, I'd think it was the invisible person

reply

Did the daughter know of the invisible ex?

reply

Days prior, Cecelia was going crazy about an invisible person in the room so yeah she knew of it

reply

Not if you think your "crazy" friend is just crazy.

reply

Agreed.

While others make points about how it’s only two people in the room.

If the other person is so far away and the hit comes from a direction I clearly could see them coming from, I’m going to be like wtf just happened.

The movie made a mistake and gives the girl a blood nose indicting the hit was more frontal than the side. It was a weird moment because it easily could have been done better. Hell just have the daughter turn her back completely as she stands up and suddenly she gets shoved into the door smacking her face on that.

Easily much more believable then that the other person in the room shoved her.

reply

The way it was shot, it appeared to me that Cecelia was close enough to reach her, and even though it came out of literally nowhere, it was disorienting enough to make it believable, bc the brain is just going to fill in that gap logically for you if you get hit and someone is within arm's length. Maybe that wasn't actually the case in the scene, but that's how I remembered it being anyway.

reply

She thought white people be crazy.

reply

I agree. She wasn't thinking with a cold head right after that. And she must've thought (in a split second) something like: "Oww! Where'd she learn to throw ninja-lightning-quick punches like that !?!"

I think a situation being tensed and adrenaline kicking in may play tricks on your brain that's trying to logically put the pieces together after a trauma just happened. The fastest and simplest way to an answer is that she punched her. She couldn't see anything else to reply to her dad's question.

Just one of many bad scenes.
Such a crappy movie.

A mind rationalizes what it cannot explain.

This scene could have been filmed slightly better but I bought it.
