I just watched the movie.I didn't like it so much, but it really had some good moments and it is definitely one very good thriller.I did not understand whether she really killed some of the two men or it was just in her sick mind.And if the killings were just fantasy, what did her sister find in the bath tub at the end of the movie?
shareShe killed both of them. In real. The ´imaginary´ episodes are rather easy to pin point imo - like when the rapist pays visits or hand reach out from the wall.

I didn't like the movie. It's a well structured thriller, but not my type of thriller. Is that ok roegcamel or should we all ask for permission not to like a movie you love? I understood the movie, got a lot of hints such as her having been abused by her father. But I found it too repetitive.
You should take a chill pill asap

I meant repetitiveness in the values and beats of the scenes as well as some shots, it goes way beyond just the killing part.
I thought Cache was great. Actually, I like Haneke quite a bit in terms of thrillers. Love many of Polanski's films too, especially Chinatown. Love the Shinning, Vertigo, Rear Window, but can definitely get into newer thrillers like PI. But the most recent film I'm into is The Conversation.
Trying to put people in a box by saying the like superhero movies is such a lame and unoriginal attempt at offending.
Never really cared for robot thrillers. Again, you really need to stop being so resentful, it's not good for one's health.
love The Conversation.

That's interesting as I'd say that Repulsion had quite an influence on The Conversation.

Are you loco? The guy asked a simple question and if you are too high above to explain, be quiet, don't bother commenting, just that. As for the record, the sister and her boyfriend found one body only, even which isn't explicitly pictured but its real existence could only be deducted via the sister's expression on her face.

oh no typing lower case on the internet!!! rofl get a life nerd.
p.s. i only replied "oh ok" twice. nice hyperbole retard

Once is more than enough. It's the type of thing a toddler would post because that's all the mental capacity they have.
You simply can't say "rofl" and then call someone a "nerd". It just doesn't work; they cancel each other out and redirect the insult back at the party who typed it. Way to shoot yourself in the foot there.i don't agree. that's a nice theory you have though, you must be a professor of forums theory. rofl
Your use of the word "retard" shows that you're a man of strong character and high intelligence. What are you doing on a REPULSION board anyway? Last I checked, it's a movie that requires some thought in order to be appreciated... and you're clearly incapable of thought, so what business could you possibly have here? Please tell me, in your usual mono-syllabic, all-lowercase, 3rd-grade mentality style.yeah you're right i should upgrade my character and attack people on the internet for asking questions about movies and using all lower case letters. keep up the good work you shmuck, rofl. retard. share

someone using internet lingo on the internet??? how outrageous!!! man, how stupid and dismissive can one person get
shareWow...What happened here?In general I don't like writing and commenting on the Internet because 90 % of the cases are meaningless dialogues, thanks to users like roegcamel. And you prove that I was really right. I wrote the question by the way and completely forgot to check is there any answers or not. And what I see now – some guy is so angry about my post, that I should kill myself, because I am so stupid. I don’t want to fall to your low level, but I should answer you. There is one very accurate definition for people like you who are on the Internet - haters.People like you think that their world is wrong and the only one thing they want to do is to criticize maliciously and angry.That was my first and only post and I allready face a hater!!! Internet is realy one *beep* up place!
About the movie. Why is it not possible for a movie to be bad and still to have a good scenes and moments in it? And the movie was not good for me, for you was good, but everybody has a different taste in movies.I just wanted to figure out what are the opinions of the other users about the ending.
I think that the movie never really clear whether she committed the murders. And I think that the purpose of the director was not to make clear whether she committed the murders in real or not.Not directly.
My favorite director is David Lynch. His films are even more confused and misunderstood, so my asking about the end does not mean that I didn’t understand the movie and the only one person who can understand it is someone with your “phenomenal intellect” . Lynch says that for this type of movie the most important thing is how you will explain the movie for yourself. So, my dear friend, turn your rage in another direction and do not think that you are something more from us - the ordinary ones. Roegcamel, you are just one spiteful, unsatisfied from his life little man .And the sad thing about this fact is that you will stay for the rest of your whole life one spiteful, unsatisfied from his life little man .
P.S. I am sorry if I made mistakes in my writing. My English is not the best and the level in English writing is not on the level that you are.(I am learning it just from a several months) Please forgive the ignorant, you mighty intellectual beast! I hope that you will absolve me and the other users from my mediocrity like Salieri in the end scene of one of my favorite movies – Amadeus (1984)! :D

Please, just do not mix the things. The fact that I told that my favorite movies are Lynch movies, does not mean that I only watch „directionless free-for-all that's meant to be interpreted by the viewer any way he/she sees fit”. Don’t put in my mouth words that I have never say. Believe it or not, I do agree completely with you about Repultion and the fact that this movie is “a deliberate, thoughtful and relatively straightforward movie that is designed to be interpreted in only one manner. “ I Just think that Polanski let himself a little door and did not show on 100 % what we all think it happened (He likes to do that in his movies) . We did not see a body in the bath tub, did we?
I can very well make the difference between movies like Repultion, Goodfella , Deer Hunter. Even if I am a huge Lynch fan and my brain is washed by his strange movies, I can not think of “The Deer Hunter” like “open for interpretation on the part of the viewer” (Especially since I've seen it countless times and know it by heart so well :)
And that Lynch's films are my favorite is conditional said. There are so many beautiful and intelligent films that I can hardly pick a genre, movies or characters that are my favorite.
Generally speaking - I'm not a nerd psycho Lynch fan, I just like good movies. (And I think that a lot of people misunderstood the movies of Lynch – they are so emotional and beautiful. Why everybody thinks about the creepy scenes in Lynch movies! The ending scene in “Blue Velvet” is one the most beautiful scenes that I have ever seen (And I have seen a lot :)
Jesus, you guys seriously need to shut the *beep* up and chill out. I just finally saw repulsion for the first time, and I too wasnt completely certain that the ending was a straightforward one.
And @ Roegcamel, its a little ridiculous to me that youre going on at this kind of length to attack (pretty obnoxiously i might add) a perfectly logical question/opinion. Especially as someone who apparently knows quite a lot about film.
I feel the same way as the OP. They never showed the bodies, and as far as the viewer knows, only colin is in the bath tub. The landlord should of been dead in the living room, but was clearly not there. Yes, I agree its likely she dragged him into the bathtub as well as her sort of michael myers-esque room of homicidal achievements, but I think its the job of an intelligent viewer to scrutinize this kind of film as they see fit.
This movie was made by Roman Polanski and the majority of polanski's films ARE left open to interpretation (the tenant for example). ESPECIALLY the ones he has written himself such as The Ninth Gate and last year's The Ghost Writer. I dont think someone who really knew polanski's work through and through would assume REPULSION to be a 100 percent straightforward, its all evident kind of film. On another note, this is a film about INSANITY, and i dont think any film depicting insanity through visual hallucinations and rape fantasies ever COULD be termed a straightforward film. Because regardless of whether the ENDING was left open to interpretation or not, there were still a zillion things in this film that were.
The above messages were a contest to see who is more retarded. Every body wins!

Yes, and then the neighbor saw the feet of the other body sticking out from the overturned couch. His feet are there to see in several shots. The neighbor, in typical Brit fashion, turns out the light and walks away. But both bodies were still in the apt.
shareWhy do we find it so easy to insult people on message and comment boards? If we don't find a post particularly edifying or interesting, why not just leave it be?

I wish I had noticed the feet sticking out from the sofa. That would leave less to interpretation.
What I did notice is that after each killing she was covered with blood. The next scene shows her in a clean gown...no blood. We know she was not doing laundry.
You wonder how she could have lifted a dead body into a bath tub in the first place. But then again "it's just a movie".
