And they eventually make their way back to their home, where their mom pulls up in a car and they enter the bedroom where their mom is closing all the blinds, and the mother turns around, and for the first time, the children see their mom after some amount of time, and she looks grotesque, because she's still got the bandages on her face. Yeah, so the children are playing together. It's very much from a child's respect that that scene where they're jumping on the whatever that was like the little spongy stuff.
There's a lot of scenes like that just them hanging out. And he's playing hide and seek with his brother, sort of just child like Not a corn maze, I guess just a cornfield.
WHERE TO WATCH GOODNIGHT MOMMY MOVIE
So this movie starts following Elias through a corn maze. The events of that like you know, the first hour of the movie is basically different situations showing how fucked the scenario is that Elias Lucas and the mother in it just this whole the whole movie sets this tone of very dysfunctional little family and it all kind of comes to a head towards the end. And then we'll sort of dive back into the interesting parts of this movie because this is a pretty long movie with only stuff happening in the last 20 minutes and also So I think the best way to talk about this movie is to just real quick run through the plot. I had a drastically different viewing experience my second time than my first and I can't say it was a good change. And if you have watched this movie, you should go watch it a second time, because it's very different. So if you haven't watched this movie, you should go watch it and come back and listen to us. And I think that's essential to enjoying the film. And the movie does a really good job of putting you into the childlike perspective of Lucas and Elias, especially on the first watch there. Like there are several different scenes that make me very scared of this lady.Ībsolutely. Just makes the woman look like a terrifying creature. So the movie follows the children as they tried to figure out who this woman is, and why is she acting differently than the mommy they rememberįrom the very beginning, they are very against this woman, be it their mother, not they're plotting against her, there's just absolutely no trust towards this, what these children perceive as basically a monster. So having mom disappear, and then come back with a weird face looking different, kind of acting different because she's in the process of recovery, it makes them start to wonder if this is their mummy at all. So pretty young kids, I'd say they're maybe like 1213. Like, I mean, plastic surgery is pretty grotesque. I mean, like, if you think about facial reconstruction, you're literally breaking cheekbones and breaking chin bones and nose bones. If you've ever seen somebody with plastic surgery, their faces covered with bandages for a while. She just got a whole facial rearrangement like a like several, you know, several different surgeries that require extensive amount of time to heal, and, you know, heal the face. Good night, mommy follows the story of Lucas and Elias, as they learn to live again, with their mother coming back from plastic surgery, And that's what they've been called their entire lives, then they're going to act like Lucas and Elias, they don't even have to be, you know, coached and towards to act or whatever. I mean, it's probably good for the kids to I mean, it's probably like, because they're just being themselves, right? Like if their characters are Lucas and Elias. Now, something I don't know if you noticed, but the kids names are the same as the character names. And in fact, I think they improvised a lot during production, which, you know, it's best if you can be Writer Director in those situations. And our main stars in the film were Suzanne West, and twins Elia shores and Luca shores. So this movie is directed by it was actually dual directed by Veronica Franz and Severin Fiala if I butchered those pronunciations, I apologize. But I'm glad you actually put it on the list because I thought it was a really interesting movie. Not being able to cover my eyes made this movie a lot more terrible for me, at least on the first watch there. Yeah I feel like with subtitles I the fact that I have to read it like the fact that I literally have to look at the screen to understand what's going on in the story makes me more engaged and like I usually you know, know the movie better as a result of having to basically read the script. Personally I'm torn because I have to actually look at the film The whole time
It is not an English it's actually in German so I have to watch the subtitles And today we are taking a look at goodnight mommy a 2014 Austrian horror film
