“Take from the Yew and feel no Pain”...


This is when I knew the pagans were truly fucked up in a malicious way. I gave them some leeway because I believed that *they* believed they were virtuous. But that old man gave those men a serum that he knew did nothing. It was pure malice. And it was *against their own people*.

And what was up with those meat pies? They never really came out and definitively said if they were cooked people. It was just implied - maybe?

reply

I wouldn't wonder if the serum was actually more supposed to numb their victims bodys and not to release their pain.
Cause the pagans didn't want their chosen people to run away in last minute.Truly they were sick as hell!

I'm fairly certain that's what it was. It's similar to what was given to Christian most likely. The no pain thing was just bullshit.

reply

I'm pretty those pies were parts of Simon or whoever that guy was Christian saw in the skinning shed. His whole back was split open. That would explain how the hair showed up in his pie.

reply

I thought the hair in the pie was pubic hair from the female that wanted to mate with Christian? Earlier in the movie you seen drawings hanging up which showed a female shaving her pubic hair. Took the hair in the pie as some kind of love ritual/potion as was the thing that was placed under marks bed.

reply

THIS! it was the pubic hair from the red head. The entire scenario was played out in those paintings that showed what was in store for Christian. (Also why his drink was slightly pink and everyone else's wasn't.)

reply

the hair in the pie is from the woman he slept with, his juice was a different color also, her period blood. This is shown at the start when the engaged couple sees the banner.

I wonder how many of the people who disliked this film simply weren't paying attention and didn't understand it.
