No computers?


Why wouldn't there be computers in this movie?

Also, if she didn't want to go back to her childhood family, why would she if she's already 18?

Oh shot sorry wrong post.

I'm assuming based on the landline phone and clothing styles and cars, this was supposed to take place in the '80s.

reply

Don't forget that Marcy had a flip phone in at least 1 scene...

reply

Oooh, forgot about that!

reply

It couldn't be the 80's because when Leann/Leia finds her baby clothes the box is labeled 1988 or 1989. I think her mother had become mentally ill over the years and lived in the past.

reply

Maybe so!

reply

Agreed. They seemed to be quite well off, yet their home was decorated in a very outdated style. As if they had never changed a thing since their daughter went missing.

reply

Good point, QueenRuby XIII. That is very possible. Also, the fact that the mother bought self-help books may indicate that the parents are just anti-technology. I know at least two people in their 40's who don't have a computer, microwave oven, or cell phone at home.

reply

Isn't that the sappy line they always mention on TV whenever a kid goes missing that for years after the parents don't change anything from when the child went missing.

reply

She's 23 years old. It is said in the movie. She was a captive for 17 years. So she must have been betwen 5-6 years old when she was taken.

Didn't she live in a basement for 17 years, completely dependent on her kidnapper? So she's 24 with no skills to be able to support herself, living with somebody is a little necessary. She seemed to be one of those people that will do whatever they are told, so if someone said 'you need to live with these people' I don't see her as refusing.

reply

Hm good point.
