Mark White: Alive or dead?


So, when they found Mark White, was he alive and could be rescued? Or did they merely dig out his dead body?

reply

Since the guy on the phone claims to have saved him a few weeks back there is no way he could be alive

reply

No, not at all. Brenner was lying to him, so he could stay positive, and not leak anything to the news

I think they should have found Mark White alive. Imagine the despair Paul would've experienced as he hears Mark cry out an "Oh my god, you found me...thank you!" comment over the phone.

While Paul had been lied to, it was still a crapshoot that any of the buried hostages would be found in time. Of course, this presumes Mark was buried around the same time as Paul, so there would've been enough air until his rescue.

White is dead. They lied to Paul.

Wow! That's so...totally stupid:

You reply to a thread that's more than a year old. Just to write your opinion without any further elaboration.

"White is dead."

One could just as well write: "White is alive." It would have been equally convincing and equally unnecessary.

Sometimes I cannot believe how stupid people are. Did you really think that your post was a useful contribution to the discussion?

I asked a simple binary question: Is he alive or dead? And not only did you write an answer more than one year later. Your answer doesn't even contain any argumentation to support your opinion.

"White is alive." Thanks genius. I wouldn't have guessed that this is one of two possible answers.

Wow, someone clearly got up from the wrong foot this morning.

Sorry, i wasnt aware there was an IMDb deadline to when to stop replying to a thread

You asked a simple question, i answered it

I cant believe someone so upset by an answer would actually take time to write something that long. I also cant believe i'm being refer to as stupid because i answer the question you asked.

It didnt even cross my mind.

No, you didn't answer it.

Since your reply completely lacked any reason, your answer was just as good as flipping a coin.

The question was "Is he alive or dead?" Don't you realize that simply saying "Alive" or saying "Dead" means nothing? It needs an explanation why you think this is the case.

Simply saying you think he's dead is a totally stupid thing to do since another person could just as well say he's alive and his answer would be as good as yours: It would be absolutely useless without further explanation.

You may be right, but you gotta admit you are way overreacting with this...

Not if this forum is full of these kinds of morons.

For example: I write a long post about the ending of "Friday the 13th" and analyze why the idea that the ending was a dream has a lot of problems.

What does the next best idiot write? "She's dreaming."

What are you being such an idiot?

Not only one can reply to the post whenever he/she wants, but you have to be braindead not to figure out Mark White was dead when found.

Ditto. I just did the same thing.

I thought the OP of course knew the arguments for and against, but just couldn't decide.

Of course White was dead. DUH. He had been in for three weeks. We know that Ryan had only enough air and water for a certain length of time, and then would die, if the kidnappers didn't kill him first.

So White would be dead. That also explains the phone guy's sad tone when he tells Ryan it's Mark White. It's Mark White, who is dead...not "It's White...thank God we found him...don't give up, we'll find you, too." Everyone knew that Ryan couldn't survive weeks to be found.

But I can see how a viewer might hold out hope, since they don't say outright that White is dead.

reply

Why are you attacking him for his comment? It is absolutely, 100% clear from the film that White is dead. Stating the obvious is not stupid.

Not realizing that White is dead, on the other hand...

And you're on my ignore list from now on. If you ask yourself why, check my posts to the last moron in this thread who gave such an unnecessary non-answer.

reply

Oh, right: And I unsubscribed from this thread. Just in case you trolls decide to repeat the same stupid answer. Don't bother, I won't see it anyway.

He is dead you twit.
