I also was left wondering a lot about the daughter. Just didn't seem to fit in - her being in school that one time, just sitting there and the awkward interaction with the main character. If she sometimes went to school - don't schools have a responsibility to make sure students are alright if they don't show up? She would have ridden a handicap vehicle to school? And back? Didn't seem like a well formed character in the plot.
Yeah, I was hoping her real name would be in the credits - NOT Lady Gaga! She's a grown woman, not some teenager. And like I posted elsewhere - the plot addressed her moving away from her true voice/message, and he kept trying to bring her back to it. Why can't the woman live that way?
Totally agree. Ironically the movie seemed to me to be encouraging her character to live authentically and make her music about the message and not all the glitz and glamor! I don't get it/her.
I totally was getting that impression time after time. Didn't like it.
Noticed, at least in the dvd I watched it on, Gibson wasn't listed in the credits.
Also, I'm not sure fairies DON'T exist. Seems like a lot of people believe in angels.
They look very fake to me, very one dimensional.
I didn't think Roberts was at all a good match for an adult Tatum.
Taking away someone's choices is abusive imho. If an adult child wants to move away, and a parent responds like his Dad did, I call that abusive. His parents got to choose their life, to think they get to choose their son's life is just wrong and controlling. I definitely saw a controlling father - not sure how you didn't.
Glad he returned, but are you saying he owes it to people/his parents, to move back? I disagree. His parents got to choose their lives, you shouldn't get to choose how your children live their lives. (my parents would disagree with that)
So if someone absolutely hates you …. that means … ?
Actually she does impress me. At one point, she's approaching a few upward steps, and I'm wondering how she's going to make it. She seems to just fine.
He seemed nicer when he came back, he was more of a 'demon' before he fell under the ice. I did not like the character - in the extras the director says they tried not to make him unlikable - I think they failed.
She's a main character on a popular TV show - THIS IS US. In that, I think she's great, but didn't think she was in this movie. I don't think her size pertained to the plot at all. Though I watched the 'extras' on the dvd and saw the real life woman, and she was plus sized, but no where near as big as the actress who portrayed her.
My take on it -
The house and guest cabin were Tina's, I'm guessing her dad gave it to her when he moved into assisted care? So perhaps technically it's still his?
I thought it was a gift from Vore - one have gave birth to, though why it looked more like a human than the one he'd put in a fridge I don't know. I assumed feeding it worm indicated she knew it was a troll like her.
What I don't get at all, is what Vore did with the human baby he took?
Life isn't measured by how many moments we breathe
But by how many moments take our breath away
She's hot looking, but nothing about her performance indicated she's a good/great actress. Many of her scenes were just a look at the emotional state she was in at the moment.
I watched it last night - very unimpressed. The concept sounded intriguing - I'm the type who might like to live/work at a remote lighthouse. It just seemed slow and boring, and usually I like drama and not car chases and such. Hard to make out as many of the scenes were dark, as well as the dialogue. And it'd be so noisy outside the lighthouse, but they'd have these quiet conversations inside? Maybe just not for me.
I'm guessing he tried to kill Henry (I got the impression Henry wasn't dead, just badly injured), because Henry was resistant to continuing to infuse a shirt with the drug that later got used by the bad guys? Just a guess.
Yeah, did seem to me also that Roman should have gotten consequences, after choking his cell mate, and he did in that he was then shown in a solitary, nearly empty cell, but he was also still allowed to be involved with the horse program. Sure seems like he should have been banned from that, for at least a while. That'd be something they'd earn.
I'll discuss my thoughts about it.
It was okay, some parts were good. Some of it confusing.
I still am not sure who killed the young woman. Him? Her? The other guy they said did it? I suspected for awhile the guy who was harassing her the night of her birthday, after they left the bar. And yeah, what did that last scene, with her standing up and having this really strong emotion on her face mean?
And I was unclear who the character was who kept interviewing her, who seemed to like her and have a history with her. The one she ends up telling she doesn't like his scent? Who was he/how was he related to her? Did he have a 'thing' for her? He was with the police force?
Some of the filming was beautiful at times, the storm, the waves, her dreams.
I sure wouldn't label it 'great' - and the fact that it's a 2017 movie with this few comments on moviechat says something too.
I'd appreciate your reply to this post. Are you clear who murdered the young women?
He doesn't 'belong' because, and he said this, he wanted to be a hero, that's what mattered to him, not her, not anything else. Then he accidentally shoots himself on the way to the bathroom and gets sent home now a military hero, and he knows now all that 'hero' stuff is mostly crap. His whole foundation crumbles. Even if she hadn't met Voigt's character, I think Dern's character was ready to end things.
