And Still Won't Go To The Hospital

I don't know what to make of this film. We have someone rotting away, getting increasingly sick. Won't call for help. Even when a friend drops by and offers to take her to the hospital, she won't go. Plus, probably spread the disease to her friend.

So, is this film supposed to be some kind of art metaphor for society, how the world is rotting away and no one is doing anything about it? People's lives just rot and they do nothing?

This movie is boring, mostly. The makeup is good, but plotwise, it doesn't work.

These kinds of old style art pop, they really don't work anymore. You need a modern edge. The plot has to move.

There's a reason Contracted works and this doesn't. Contracted has a plot. This movie just sits there rotting.

I know what to make of it. Complete *beep* My guess is she was just so depressed that she didn't care about this disease and wanted her life to end. The rot just symbolised her depression and her life. The only reason I watched until the end was that I was slightly intrigued as to how it would end. And that was a waste of time. One of the slowest paced and dullest films I have ever seen, could have been edited to 30 mins which would still have been far too long.

What was that statue thing she sculptured anyway?

It really doesn't matter what the statue was. The movie was utter *beep* Acting, *beep* Sound 'design' *beep* and The statue thing was *beep* But No doubt some profound fu*ck wit will come on here and eventually tell me it was a ' metaphorical ' symbol of hope and disparity rolled into one.Or perhaps even they will say " nope, this one was just complete and utter *beep*"
