A very valid point about eye imagery, with some examples more convincing than others. One instance was missed, though. It made me shiver when I spotted it. It is the last of the slow-moving "cosmic vistas" in the stargate sequence, right before we see Bowman's eye in cyan and magenta, and then the " floating crystals". It is like looking from close proximity into dark alien eyes.
What gets me is that in a lot of ways, the villains actually _won_ in the end. They successfully kidnapped and killed a lot of children and destroyed many families over the years, they permanently brainwashed Alex and Bob Taylor, Mrs. Jones got to go out on her own terms, and Keller will probably lose his leg and go to prison for several years as a result of his daughter’s kidnapping. Yeah, the villains got stopped, but the damage that they did is massive and irreversible, and there will be plenty of villains in the future doing similar work.
Papa said on September 2nd, 2021, that dhoondh hi liya hoga kaabil aadmi Tha whilist watching this masterpiece on a single manned bed, which he actually broke the full set on may lmao that he during a call the day I was binging the re8 vids of radbrad. That's all.
I was so impressed by the ending that I called my dad right after. I knew he had already watched the movie but to my surprise he thought the Hugh Jackman character must have died... since it didn't actually show him being physically rescued. *facepalm*
I think the best part about the ending for me is the fact that the whole time, Loki has been obsessed with tying up the loose ends of the case, but the movie ending early prevents the character from doing that, which kind of shows that it’ll never be over for him.
The song playing on the workers radio is Codex by Radiohead, which in itself adds to the perfect ending, as the song ends early, seemingly unfinished. This is just the take of a 12 year old, but it might have been intentional in the film. Idk
Can we all acknowledge alex knew where they were the entire time and was functional enough to give clues like the “cry until i left”. Man withheld years of kidnappings and i also think the copycat was in cahoots with with them because of the maze necklace, mazes he drew, snakes to keep alex out of it and didnt want to get caught for less than murder. I wanna know if they ever found the bodies and where were they. If they make a part 2, it should be finding the bodies by first finding the maze
I realized a lot immediately upon mention. I realized alex was a victim because the old lady said her boy went missing in the same camper years ago so i knew granny knew and thought alex was carrying tradition even as the abducted adult. I knew the man at the bottom was part of it after dude house was first shown. Secondly after the priest explanation. I dont understand why the cops didnt catch the rv thing. the time line would’ve matched alex further connecting the dots to granny and pah especially with them living in the area and no other rv’s.
Sebenarnya, kedua anak itu tidak diculik. Melainkan mereka berdua dengan senang hati masuk ke dalam mobil Van tersebut dan mungkin di ajak jalan-jalan. Karena jika mereka benar-benar diculik, pastinya anak perempuan Dover membunyikan peluitnya.
grait movie but i dont understand exaktly wye he is caring a ring with the Freemason symbole ! wana they show us fremasons ar a good nice secrecy ? mhh i dont know wat i know is tat i not see a lot evil things konektet to freemasonery mor to iluminaty and Mo..ad or cia or FBI.
This movie MUST be watched multiple times to properly understand the seemingly underwhelming title "Prisoners". Rewatching allows one to be horrified for Alex Jones & Bob Taylor, who as adults are still trapped by their abductions, Alex physically and Bob psychologically. Second time around we wince as Alex is literally handed back to his abductor, by police, decades later. Super sad.
Of course they found him. Do you actually think they would not search the whole area of this crazy woman. Also why would he stop whistling after those two whistles
Prisoners is a great neo-noir / thriller . Somehow , and I 've seen this film a few times, I always get the impression in the end that detective Loki hears something but then he leaves the place. I'm glad I'm wrong, because I feel very bad for Hugh Jackman, to die like this in the end after all he' s been through! I also think this is the best film for Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman.
I have this film on dvd and even though it may be a difficult film for some to handle, I really loved the story, acting and the way it was filmed. I loved the twists and turns that all intertwined in the plot. It depicts the normal visceral pain, anguish and despair that victims of violence go though. But dares to go beyond grief...and into hell for a father to save his daughter. My wife watched it once, and liked the acting etc.. but she would probably not watch it again for the violent scenes. I agree with you 100 % the ending was "perfect"! I loved this ending scene. To me it didn't need anything more. The simple fact that the father would live to see his daughter alive would be all that he needed. Anything else he would face would be easier than what he already went through. Great Review! 👍👍👍
I love this movie, but there is one glaring problem. Paul Dano's character was first person arrested in the beginning. The arrest was for resisting and suspicion of child abduction. Any real police would have immediately raided his home. There's simply no way the do not find a trace of the girls, the poison in fridge, handcuffs etc. Failing that sniffer dogs would have found them in the hole. It's too contrived for the story. That and magically an escaped kid growing up to be a creeper who breaks in for tokens causing max confusion. So the guy stays in the same town as his abusers?
Brilliant film. Goes to show just how vital great acting is when paired with a tight script. There were no big set pieces or explosions, just great pacing and a slow burn of intrigue building to an incredible ending
The ending is perfect because finding him doesn’t really matter. Dover may be alive but he certainly going to prison for a very long time thus removing himself from his daughters life. If he died he would pretty much get the exact same result except he wouldn’t be tortured by knowing his daughter is growing up without him. It’s brilliant.
I'd have preferred the movie to end in a darker and grimer way showing Detective Loki leaving the property on that night with the camera following him walking (side view) until it stops on the car (Loki continues walking away) and the camera then slowly moves down to show that pit's cover, stops there and suddenly we hear Keller's desperate attempts of blowing that whistle hoping to be heard by Loki or someone. The movie fades out and leaves it just there. This alternative ending would leave the audience on a cliffhanger with an open-ended conclusion. It leaves Keller's fate uncertain and raises questions about whether he will be found or if his ordeal will continue. By not providing a definitive resolution, it creates a lingering emotional impact and invites interpretation and further analysis, explanations and discussions among the audience imo
I heard how great this movie was and was disappointed as hell to have figured it out within 20 minutes. Nicely done film but would have liked to have been surprised.
