How old are you lmfao
This was early 2000s small town shit. Nobody owned a cell phone, maybe George's spoiled ass would have been the only one that could afford one
I heavily disagree. I feel like the aftermath is *supposed* to be deflating, they were all more or less having a good time at that point before things went off the rails. Anyone would feel devestated in that moment and we the viewer are also made to feel devestated as all the air gets sucked out of the room and the consequences of their actions set in.
Brilliant ending, I wouldn't have it any other way.
He had a mean streak though and knew what to say to get under people's skin, as well as inflict physical punishment
At the end of the day, he just wanted to be accepted/have friends, so yes, it definitely was realistic. Especially kids who are as idiosyncratic as him
"characters"
they were naive kids shocked and traumatized at a plan gone wrong. Did you want them to be criminal masterminds?
Thank you. I'm utterly baffled at OP here, thinking they were criminal masterminds. They were bored kids living in small-town Oregon. None of them would have known what to do.
That scene was weird because they showed the camera sinking and it looked like he hit his head on the camera and started bleeding. I was like no way....
Actually, this one felt way more realistic than Bully.
Bully is based on a true story, but it's so asinine. As in, these kids are all idiots to go along with a plan like that. Like people who don't even know the guy are suddenly gung-ho about a murder plan?
Mean Creek is infinitely more realistic: Prank gone wrong, and the aftermath of the death causes them to break down in the same night.
Are you forgetting that he raped Lisa?
I'm glad that so many people came to this conclusion. There is absolutely nothing upstairs in her head. "Blase" is right, but she's a total airhead for the whole movie too.
I thought that was the real mom, I was convinced until it seemed overacted.
This scene felt so unintentionally funny and unnecessary lmao
It's actually way better than those two.
Why is it not what you expected? Please tell us
Thanks, good to know that it would have definitely escaped the average viewer (which I am, LOL)
No movie should ever be a hallucination really, I'm getting so sick of it
The tone of the movie was like an after-school special. The movie could have been over in 30 minutes: Once the wannabe gangster boy tries to get his drugs back, his head would have been blown off or at the very least pistol whipped, and then the other gringos would have known that shit is for real.
Explain how you arrived at them sharing the same consciousness "immediately" since it seems to be so unclear for the rest of us lol
Suspension of disbelief. (lmao)
Good questions in all honesty.
I think you gotta supply your own logic to this one.
We clearly see that when one is active, the other is in a comatose state. Thus, it makes the most sense that they can't be aware of what the other is doing.
You could easily read it as something something "you are your own worst enemy" especially as it relates to women and beauty standards. You could also say "women are always pit against each other, even direct clones" lol. I'm not saying these are great explanations, but it gets your wheels turning. I do agree with you that it's weird that older Demi feels so upset when she sees her Substance self, to the point that she chooses self-sabotage but again... maybe the point here.
