salty scene - Slow West (2015) Discussion

I think the OP is referring to the scene at the end where:

The girl he traveled all the way across the world for literally shatters his heart (with a bullet nonetheless) and then the poor kid has to sit on the ground and watch the Native American kiss her cheek...

The jar of salt getting smashed, dumping it all over him is a quite literal version of "Pouring salt in an open wound."

I actually felt bad for the little dummy.

Let's also not forget that at the end they took in those two kids, which Jay wanted to but Silas refused. Plus his dream of Silas and Rose being together, with a baby boy named Jay Bird--at the end Silas did end up with the girl and kept those two kids which Jay wanted with the woman he loved.

Even more ouch.

huh, that makes a lot of sense, interpreting it like that. I might have studied too much for my exams recently and was thinking along the lines of the salt being kind of antiseptic and maybe taking the first steps towards healing. 

Norman Bates is the mom; Tyler Durden is a hallucination; Bruce Willis is dead in the end and Rosebud is the sled.

In real life Rosebud was Hearst's nickname for the little man in the boat who stood guard at Marion Davies sacred chamber.

And by stealth that nickname applied to the same for the female character in Citizen Kane. Forget the sled.

I got a good laugh out of those couple minutes. I know I shouldn't, but it was such a blatant scene.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on, not everybody saw the movie, be respectful!!

If you're looking at the message boards of a just released film and you haven't seen said film then you deserve everything you get, to be honest.

[–] ukrdat 9 years ago

Agreed. Why would you read a topic entitled "salty scene" if you don't want spoilers.

reply

[–] kuluvas 9 years ago

Absolutely, u are a moron. Watch it then jump on.

reply

[–] alopecoid25 9 years ago

Quiet, hypocrite. I actually have you blocked because you've spoiled movies for me in the past in threads that had absolutely no reason for spoilers. Glad it happened to you.

[–] iretos 9 years ago

Talking to me????

[–] Generationbetrayed 9 years ago

Then how are you reading his messages?

reply

[–] alopecoid25 9 years ago

I'd completely forgotten that I blocked him. I was curious to see why so I unblocked him and was then reminded. Thought it was funny that he was complaining about spoilers.

reply

[–] iretos 9 years ago

First of all, I'm a woman. Second, you block somebody for complaining about spoilers? I don't write that much and I think it's the first time I complain.

reply

[–] tb-sch 8 years ago

If it was the topic headline it would be. People who want to see if something is worth watching might get on the board to research, but when the discussion has no value for someone not knowing the movie anyway, there is no point in adding spoiler tags all the time.

So sad.
He was killed by the girl who gave his the strength to travel through the west, and she even did not look at him for several minutes.

Not mention the kissing in from of him.

Poor boy.

I repeat, there is a SPOILER thing you can use to hide what you write from people who wants to be spoiler free. Lack of respect everybody, don't you?

reply

[–] seraphimfalls 9 years ago

I repeat, if you're looking at the message boards of a just released film and you haven't seen said film then YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU GET.

reply

[–] iretos 9 years ago

I was not talking for myself, I have seen the film, what does this mean? Not all the people here have, why should they? It's not necessary to have seen the movies to go on the respective boards. It's very easy, it's enough to write SPOILERS very big in the title (a lot of people do it) or to use the apposite "spoiler" tag Imdb provides. It's a deep and rude lack of respect. And you're not right, even if you write your sententes in capital letters.

reply

[–] seraphimfalls 9 years ago

I wasn't talking about you specifically either. What I was saying was that if someone hasn't seen a film and opens up threads called "salty scene" or "wow at that ending" they have no right to be whinging about any spoilers that they see.

You can't penalise people for talking about a film they have seen in a thread with a title as vague as this. It's sanctimonious and makes you look pedantic.

And FYI it was five words in caps, not sentences.

[–] seraphimfalls 9 years ago

10/10, great argument. *slow claps*

reply

[–] iretos 9 years ago

Anyway, "salty scene" means nothing. I never open thread where spoiler is very evidently written in the title. It is not the case here.

reply

[–] seraphimfalls 9 years ago

This is the last thing I'll say because I'm bored of arguing with someone who won't listen, but generally if someone uses the word scene when talking about a film, it relates to something in said film.

The fact is, if you're that worried about spoilers for a film you haven't seen, you shouldn't be on a message board discussing that film until you've seen it. You can't stop people from wanting to talk about a film in detail when that is what this site is for.

Anyway, this is like talking to a brick wall, and I've got better things to do with my life.

[–] Generationbetrayed 9 years ago

You idiot. It says "scene" in the title of the thread. Scene. Scene. Fking Scene. It means a scene from the movie. If people are talking about a scene, they have probably seen said scene. If you are looking at threads before seeing a movie after it comes out for whatever reason, and you see the worse SCENE in the title, then it safe to assume it contains spoilers, unless of course, you are an idiot.

Idiot.

It was just a eye-roll moment for me obviously refering to the saying "don't rub salt in woods" I was like: " really?" in front of the screen
