Really enjoyed this film. Spoilers belowIt’s weird that it’s very simply written (well written, but not hiding so deeper commentary) but so many people seem to have a retarded “I don’t know who to root for” feeling about it as if this is a fault.UltimatelyDylan O’Brien’s character is just a douchebagRachel McAdams is a crazy psycho killer.Obviously he’s the victim, it’s also funny how very obvious things seem to go over peoples heads.>she says her husband abused her and died in a car crash and she basically did nothing but fail to hide his keys from him when he got drunk one nightGiven she lies about absolutely everything it’s weird to me nobody questions the idea that maybe her husband wasn’t abusive (maybe he just couldn’t put up with her craziness), or that she did way more than not hide his keys and cut his break line or something. Good detail a lot of people miss is that while it may seem like she’s trying to set up some kind of Romance with Dylan’s character, she repeatedly calls him Sweetie, which is just a cutesie nickname as far as he knows. But the viewer saw she calls her pet bird Sweetie, so she literally sees him as just a pet she can use and discard.
Also in that conversation where they talk about her abusive husband, and then Dylan talks about how his father was neglectful, and his mother was abusive to him, but he didn’t blame her because her father was a piece of shit. It’s good dialogue because it has these multilayered meanings that reassess as the film goes on. First we think when Linda says “monsters are created not born right?” We think it refers to her abusive dead husband. Then we think it’s about Dylan, or his mother, and so on. But ultimately it’s about Linda, she’s the monster, was she always like this or was this decades of pent up anger and frustration exerting itself? She already demonstrated she’s deadly when she lets it out with her husband so this is hardly a stretch.Pretty wild movie. He could’ve beaten her like five times over if he didn’t keep underestimating her, but I guess part of that is just him being blinded with rage when he found out she killed his fiancé and also he’s a man, he’s way stronger than her and is hardly someone who gets into fights ever, he also isn’t a killer like her so bringing yourself to beat someone to death isn’t really easy to do
>>219491714I was so startled by the ending I sprayed diarrhea all over my grandson and his two budgerigars.
>>219491714>just a douchebagHe tried to kill her first giving her poisonous berries though
>>219491826She said they’d mess you up, not poison you. By this point he knew she was trying to keep them on the island so he decided to try and leave without her stopping him
