<blockquote>...a man more poet than performer...</blockquote>
Good point. I read a biography of Jim Morrison years ago and it said that he considered himself a poet more than a singer.
Thank you!
Please correct me if I'm wrong but saying mass is Catholic and I don't believe those hymns are sung by Catholics. They're more Baptist-type songs, I think.
At first I thought it was avoiding many of the same old cliches. <spoiler>The protagonist actually figures out what's going on fairly quickly. When she and her friend go to the police, they aren't met with skepticism and dismissal. But then her intelligence deserts her and she makes the dangerous move of going back to the hypnotist. And even though that failed spectacularly, she then insists on going out to the guy's house alone and goes inside, etc. etc. I was just relieved that when it was all over, it really was all over. I was holding my breath at the very end, expecting something to trigger a suggestion he'd placed.</spoiler>
LOL I suspect you're right! (Although I did like this movie.)
As always, thank you, hownos, for the review link. I really liked this thought from the review:
<i>You’ll just need to believe in, or at least gradually come to accept, the power of stories as a means of survival.</i>
I would put it under the broader umbrella of 'speculative fiction.'
Let us know if you spot him! :-)
Thank you, Satan2016. I hadn't heard of this!
Wouldn't you starve to death or die of thirst?
They had to remain in the break room until they gave a satisfactory statement. That would eventually compel you to comply.
My theory is that they're trying to be extra careful counting the votes. We had an expensive recount in 2020 which gave the same results as the first count. And Lake has already been casting doubt on the process so it would be a good idea to be thorough.
I don't have any analysis, just a suggestion. Maybe because, though it's considered horror, it's not a typical horror movie.
I don't like horror at all, yet I really liked this movie. Maybe there are other people like me who bumped its ratings up.
I'm so glad you asked this question. I'm about half-way through the movie and undecided about whether or not to finish it. This was one of the things I really wanted to know and if that isn't answered, I'm not sure I want to keep going.
I had no immediate reason to disbelieve it. When someone else posted a differing report, I took that into account.
Yeah, these days you never know what to believe.
I read last night that both of her sisters died this week, within a day of each other. My heart goes out to her. That's gotta be tough.
I also learned that her dad was a book publisher. He was the Simon of Simon & Schuster.
Oh, I hadn't read that!
