I Wish


idiots like the ones on this board, just wouldn't open their mouths. This film is deep... if you didn't understand it, then your stupid! Not hard to get the plot of this movie. It is low budgeted yes, but very well done. The relationship between the doll and the girl. The struggle he fights with what he does and what he knows what is right. What he wants and what he can't have. This movie is more about him than the cute girl. ARE YOU A WITCH!

You mean the real life story is deep. The movie was a poor depiction of what truly happened and the complexity that the girl had actually experienced. Although the movie makes several attempts at "being deep," it fails miserably. The cinematography didn't help at all. You can't just throw in a heap of flashbacks and ominous visuals and expect it to be epic. The dull narration was also distasteful. I understand it's a horrible, terrible, sad ordeal --- but there was no passion. Nothing that made me feel the melancholy and feelings that could have happened. Which is a damn shame, especially since it was reported that Natascha Kampusch was supposedly educated: the actress was lifeless and eloquently inept. The whole purpose of a movie is to entertain, inform and educate. I went through this whole movie not feeling anything whatsoever: unchanged, indifferent and bored.

P.S. It's spelled *you're, not "your" --- but what do I know? I'm an idiot, right? And only you apparently seem to know the "deepness" of this movie because you're just soooooo esoteric.

Frankly, I found “Dungeon Girl” to be a very smart movie. The “bad guy” wasn’t that bad, he really seemed to wanna help his “victim”. The girl’s seeming “Stockholm syndrome” was really just her need for a father, & later, a lover; the root of which came from past trauma. I also liked how the way she sat so still & this constant look in her eye made her seem…almost more nuts than her captor. I think there might’ve been times when HE was scared of HER. Also, I think the whole “witchcraft” subplot was just a red herring, but it did add to the tension. PS, I also checked out the true story behind this flick; pretty freaky, happy ending though.
