@@iliketurtles6667 yes it’s DEFINITELY the rug pull moment! The scene isn’t “all about his decision to drive away go home, leave-“ he is so clearly IN SHOCK… lights are on but nobody’s home… he’s not “deciding” to do anything. When you watch that movie for the first time your shock is reflected in the brother. And his traumatized reaction just emphasizes how shocked the audience is supposed to feel about what just happened. Then toni Collette’s screaming brings you out of it and that’s when the devastation sets in. It was all VERY intentional, just to emphasize the shock and horror of Charlie’s death.

@@Alexandra_K_ It's been really disheartening over the years to realize just how many people embraced Annie as the audience surrogate and thus decided that her perspective throughout the movie was essentially correct, especially when she was being gratuitously cruel to her teenage son. I keep seeing people explicitly endorse her resentment, and I can only hope those people don't have children of their own. No, the point of that scene is not that he made a conscious decision to ignore his sister's death just to maximize the pain for his mother. The point is that he was traumatized, and IN CONTEXT, the scene illustrates the fact that he was still a child and wasn't emotionally equipped to deal with any aspect of that situation on his own. Annie shares some degree of responsibility for Charlie's death because she forced Peter to take his special needs sister to a party where she would obviously be out of place and wouldn't be continually supervised. She placed that responsibility on his shoulders, then placed 100 percent of the blame on him for its tragic outcome, and used it as justification to disregard his trauma in favor of her own despite the fact that, again, he was a CHILD. This isn't to say that Annie is the "bad guy," only that Peter damn sure isn't either. Many viewers have a pathological need to pick sides, and in this case that seems to result in people missing the fact that the actual bad guys have practically zero screen time. I'd urge people to redirect their hatred away from Peter and toward the demonic cult that spent years manipulating and traumatizing the family in order to use its catastrophic breakdown for their own ends.

@@c.s2193 kindly disagree here. Yes the main point of the movie is "racism bad". Yet where I diverge is, that it makes many more relevant points 1. Echo chambers and harmful group dynamics. I thought that part was really well written, all the characters somehow made sense in how they reacted and handled situations, probably more extreme than you would in real life, but very appropriate for a movie. 2. The "not persecution" of white crime In the end we can't be sure, if they will ever get persecuted. Leaving a bitter aftertaste, because we know it all too well in the real world. Minority groups, often get sentenced too harsh and too quick, whilst dominant groups have more leniency. 3. The generalization of all immigrants The women didn't care about, if the 2 asian they killed were productive or atleast adjusted to the society they were living in. The only thing they saw were immigrants and that's why they are deserving of some sort of punishment. For me those were the more interesting talking points coming out of that movie. And If you wish for me to elaborate further on one, I will have a great time doing that :)

I was worried this film would be the same, but had hope that the SA scene wouldn't be distastefully portrayed since it was directed by a woman. Never once did I say men did not go through SA, but this comment does strictly refer to the SA shown in the film, which was done to a female character. I'm not saying men can't write female SA scenes, it's just that time and time again when they have done so, it's in a disgusting way that clearly sexualises the situation rather than bringing out the vulgarity and depravity of rape. Men can definitely write rape of men, since they'd have a more informed perspective. A great example of this is Baby Reindeer. Maybe stop to consider what I'm actually saying before putting words in my mouth?

Id maybe add somewhere in the video mentioning the more explicit and very upsetting assault topics and scenes, from what i've heard, this is a main reason people perceive the film as too heavy handed, some more tact in the handling of said topics for the audience's sake would have been helpful just so people could watch the film without being deeply triggered and retraumatized

I dropped everything I was doing when I saw the video notification pop up, and watched the movie. Honestly, the first 15 or so minutes of the movie were brilliant. It could've ended at the pie reveal, and it would've been perfect. It recontextualizes all of the main lady's interactions in the beginning, and pretty much gives us an idea of why "Jeff" might be in prison. Everything that happens starting with the grocery store confrontation was melodramatic and predictable.

absolutely insane that this movie was a directorial debut. the use of long handheld shots, the use of space, the lighting, the sound design...on a technical level this movie is a marvel. and to do something this brutal for your very first movie? de Araújo is going places. that said, this movie enraged me. i understand why the movie goes the way it does, but god, sometimes i just want catharsis. sometimes i just want the villains to die.

I saw this movie last year. Didn't like it. Not because of the subject matter, I just think the characters/dialog felt like something you'd see on Reddit. Though I do give it credit for focusing on a group of women and making them the villains for once. One of the biggest midpoint plot twists I can think of is From Dusk Till Dawn if you had no idea what the movie was about.

@@buriednameless965 I agree. There is a way to do this story in the modern era; a white woman says something off the cuff that gets her deemed a racist by social media, and she loses her job and social status and friends and family, but gets tons of support from actual full-on racists and, craving acceptance, falls in with them. And wanting to fit in, she gets involved with the attack on the Asian women but has a change of heart and realizes its wrong. That to me would be a more interesting movie than what we got, with very few changes and hopefully better dialogue.

@@julius-stark But they aren't "normal racists" as fucked uo as that sound, they are fascist nazis deeply involved with the neonazi movement. Everytime I see this argument regarding this movie i shake my head. You have clearly never met an actual neo nazi (which good for you honestly i certainly do not recommend). This is absolutely how they act when they're in an environment where they dont have to hide. I come from a small town in eastern germany with a long history of neonazism. Even today a huge chunk of the population are nazis. I'm talking showing of their swastika and SS tattoos in the summer heat, greeting their nazi friends at the train station with a sieg heil and seeing teenagers running around with Hitleryouth shirts at the yearly summer festival. All things that I've seen this year visiting my parents for like 2 weeks.

@@julius-stark i don't necessarily think that the movie needed to be realistic per se to get the message across, but the whole meeting with the pie etc. seemed a little heavy handed. maybe it was necessary given the one-shot format of the film, although i think another way they could've approached it would've been just to have these women meet up (as friends/coworkers/parents/whatever), one of them talking about some perceived "aggression" by a minority, the conversation progressing to more overt racism and then escalation at the store with the sisters. the whole nazi meeting does get this point across a lot quicker lol also a little tangent: with the modern era version of a white lady being cancelled on social media and then her spiraling down from there, everything you've said except that last part about a change of heart would be accurate to reality. unfortunately, they often tend to double down on their beliefs because those beliefs don't tend to be momentary lapses in judgement, but rather very deeply held ones which they now feel justified in expressing in increasingly violent and overt ways (look at jkr and her posse for example). not saying that people can't have a change of heart, but racism runs quite deep, and with immigrants being accused of stealing white people's jobs, being terminated from one, especially due to racism, likely would reinforce those beliefs. fwiw, i think cancelling people on social media is pretty useless, and often harmful specifically to minorities because it is often used to target trans women who are then forever run off the internet.

I have watched this movie post-pandemic. I was so disturbed and shaken to the point that I let it stay there on the day I watched it, until now. Retrospectively, this movie is a unique horror-thriller that will divide the viewer because they will either see themselves as the victim or the perpetrators. Nobody likes to see their demons.

By the time I commented here, I haven't fully watched your video, but I just want to say that Hereditary scene is MY FAVORITE. It was so horrifyingly beautiful. The stillness of time and the dull sensation of five senses... For me, the most haunting part of it is not the fact that the person died, but rather the dissociation that occurs due to how unexpected the incident was. It was so "unreal" and only set in once her mother let out that loud scream.

Just watched The Ruins and Oddity almost back to back. Loved both of them and found them both really effective as horror movies. The Ruins was bleak and hopeless and absolutely ruined my weekend, but then Oddity was somehow the scariest film I've seen this year by far, and also the most joyful and cathartic due to its morality play.
