Unofficial music video for the song "I Get Overwhelmed" by Dark Rooms, part of the Original Soundtrack of the 2017 indie movie "A Ghost Story". May contain mild spoilers.
This film really got to me. It made me think about my son who took his life at just 13 years old back in 2007. He was my only child and now I very well may be dying of cancer myself - waiting for the biopsy... If I do die I hope that he will be there to cross me over...
Well get right with the lord first..this is just a movie,man made is all ..imagine how paradise with Jesus would be..more than you can imagine..were all dying thb..so take that for what it’s worth
Tatiana Giovanetti The people in my original country they believe that the souls will stay where they die, so that’s the reason why his spirit just be around the house
My Huynh actually he wanted to stay in that hause... i’m not saying that’s the only reason why he’s “haunting” it... but you can see through the movie that the woman wanted to move so bad and he didn’t. He said “we don’t want the same things”. More than “love”, in my opinion, the theme was “loneliness”. We don’t really se how the “love” is developed between them both.
The tragedy of the movie is that guy dies and (by choice or confusion) never lets go.... Its an unexplored journey of a ghost's life, until he ultimately reads the note Mara's character left for him... under a layer a white paint, inside the doorway. Your comment made me think of the stereotype " Widows are the main victims of war, not the actual people that die in the line of fire"
This movie to me represents depression and trauma. About how it's hard to move on when you've been hurt so much, and it's hard to trust again. It also reminds me a lot about the inevitability of change, and how depression can be an obstacle for it.
It made me think about the passage of time. And how it continues despite our own egocentric ways. Even if we live to be 100 yrs old, and tucked in to our beds all comfy it's going to seem like it all just flew right by...
This hit home so much, it’s true, my girlfriend broke up with me and left me in complete utter mess, I lost my self worth and for so long I tried to fix things but it was of no good. The scene where the ghost says “I don’t think they are coming back” hit so hard, I waited and did everything I could but they didn’t come back.
I remember watching this film and being awe-struck by how unique it was. It completely derailed the usual theme of what we're used to when it comes to movies, and instead detailing the subtleties of human experience. It's just really raw. People tend to make jokes about the pie scene but in whole honesty it encapsulates what grieving can be, and how we can act. You grieve loss from her side and then from his, and unfortunately he has way more time to unpack it than she does. My favourite part is the fact you don't know what is written on that note - we don't need to know; but you're so frustrated the whole film, for you and for him. You never get that grand reveal. You don't get the 'ohhh that makes sense!' - you just come to grips around the whole situation. This movie isn't about you. I remember reading what the director said about "the note" and it was something along the lines of 'well if that were you, what would it say?' That is niche movie making. This film hurts, and you get closure together. Even if it's a bit raw, even if it's intense, but you go through the stages of grief together, and experience the same happiness of relief when it's over. I do love this movie a lot.
I remeber watching this movie back when I was in hospital, not knowing how everything turnes out. The movie destroyed me. I rented it on itunes so i could only watch it within 24 hours and i believe i watched it 3 times during that day. Now, nearly one year later, while still in pain pretty much everyday, listening to this song gives me that weird feeling of comfort and pure sadness at the same time.
At first I thought that it'd be boring but it was far from that so many feels I cried tears of knowing and understanding . So happy he could finally move on 😭
Exactly, at fist i thought that the movie was a low budget movie with lame actors but now... it's easily my favorite movie. My list of favorite movies it's always moving around between places but this one, always comes back to the 1st place, always. It just have this something, just like Henry's Book, both movies are just amazing and i really love the fact that both are about love, even tho A Ghost's Story it's about "Relationships" love. Which thing i don't really believe it's real, I still can see it from another perspective and that would be the one from Henry's Book, and thats "Family" love and that love, it's very real, maybe is just because i have never seen anyone around me with a good relationship and maybe thats because relationships always get toxic. No matter what they always get these negative feelings and for what?, just for one person that it's like for real no related to you in any way?!, really?. Well that's sad and will never trust a person beside my family so i guess that's where i was trying to get after this library xd, so yeah maybe there is someone out there who is really worth it but i don't really think so xd
In tears this is so deep! I don’t think everyone gets how deep this movie is. The poor ghost stuck in nihilism, send to be no meaning in anything but shows how time really does not exist, it either keeps repeating but if you were to look at it from the other side of universe it would like time isn’t moving at all…
Some movies affect you , but you don't realise earlier that it affected you . You realise after some time , because some movies affect you like slow poison and this movie is definitely that one of those movies
Everybody who I know who saw this said the loved it but could not watch it again, to sad. I found it extremely beautiful in it's portrayal of death and loss; holding onto something so dear that you don't even know why anymore and just have to let it go at a point. I cried a ton watching it, but it was so cathartic. This is definitely in my top 10 of all time. Mulholland Drive is #1, but this has to be up there, it's a near perfect movie and so unique. I love all of you, be well, remember what matters in life.
LYRICS: Are you runnin late? Did you sleep too much? All the awful dreams Felt real enough Is your lover there? Is she wakin up? Did she die in the night? And leave you alone? Alone Mirror, mirror There's your crooked nose Boring hair A thousand wrinkles No children Just emptiness No place like home Just a f*cking mess Mess 20 messages Did you hurt your thumbs? What a stupid game Getting nothing done With your longest track Your highest score While you crush your back And lament the war War All the women That you wanna f*ck On the internet Wouldn't give you a second look Did you fool yourself? That's privilege That's power without power That's a business Business But we know "you" is "I" And I get overwhelmed Can't sleep at night Can't convince myself To turn it off To let go Gotta make sense Of the f*cking war War Am I runnin late? I get overwhelmed All the awful dreams All the bright screens Is my lover there? Are we breakin up? Did she find someone else? And leave me alone? Alone...
Beautiful movie. if it bores you you are not really looking. movies like this require you to really sit back and let it soak it but man doesn't pay off each frame feels like a painting and so much is told through silent imagery
This movie was brilliantly done. It truly left me in aw and this song is beautifully painful. Perfect song to fit the movie both leave you in your mind/feelings
I watched this shortly after my Dad died and it kinda hit me in the feels. Any other time in my life, I'd think it was a certainly unique movie but not one that I "loved" by any means but since it's tied to that time in my life it holds a certain little spot in my heart.
Seriously the pain is not going even after watching the movie . When I saw the movie it felt so real to me . Yeah it's true I was getting bored while watching the movie , but still there was something in the movie which didn't enabled me to stop watching it . Yeah it was boring ,but it was beautiful , depressing , immensely touching , harsh , realistic and heartbreaking at the same time . This movie as if had done something to me . Showed it to my mother and sister too and they both liked it . This will surely stay in my heart . Sometimes it happens that you regret watching a movie not because it was bad or awful or anything but because it haunts you , it depresses you , it affects you that deeply that you can't concentrate on your daily household activities , it really affects you , it affects you badly , so badly that you want to share it with someone , but you can't because no one is interested . . Really regretting that why I watched the movie . It's even more effective than I Origins and Passengers(2008) I said the names of these two movies because these movies had affected me in the past But the effect this movie gives you surpasses the two movies that I mentioned now .
To be honest, I'm not sure if I could actually watch this movie. I saw bits and pieces of it and felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest leaving a vast emptiness that hurts when I even approach it. Idk, maybe I just sympathize too much with the concept. The idea of being left alone, forgotten, and the memory of me lost to the sands of time, not because of malevolence or cruelty but just because its easier to forget, and I completely understand why one Would choose to forget.
This movie had a deep impact on me , an impact that no other movie gave me . I was depressed after watching it . Still now remember the movie. Really it is something that will never go out of your head and mind only if you could go deeply and understand the overall concept of the movie and feel the movie and it's characters .
After watching this movie, it’s my favorite and the way it made me feel was very special and it actually made me think about the afterlife, and I was sad because I thought what happened in the movie may actually happen, then I rember a scene from the movie where he’s just walking out of the hospital and a portal opens up, and he had a choice to get closure or go through, which made me feel a lot better. Have a great life everyone, if you understand the movie like I do, we would get a long.
I just cried and cried thru this whole incredibly heartbreaking Movie! L. O. V. E. this Song so much! For a Ghost he did a really remarkable thing--I could feel this whole Movie. All of it. The story of how he goes forwards and backwards in time is so brilliant. I love the scene where he walks into the house and it's like --He just knows! He starts to play that piano like some incredible jazz artist and it all just clicks. He can feel himself already there! Yikes! And that note she leaves just for him. Each time he keeps trying to get it 😥😪😥😪😥😪😥. Brilliant profound and heartbreaking movie. All of it.
me too , i miss my little brother & my sweet mama .i feel so sad and just can’t hold back my tears and emotions gezz why won’t this pain go away .💔❤️🩹
This movie... ah man I don't know what to say, I would guess that 80-90% of people will not like it at all and I understand that, but pretty sure that those 10% would say one of the best movies of all time.
Perfect description my friend 🤗 I've always been one of the 10%. Nice to meet another one of the 10%😁 This Movie has everything for me. A thought provoking, emotional roller coaster, sublime music and amazing acting. 🥂
I believe the core of this movie is the struggle to let go of the one you lost in death, given time of longed mourning . But death is not the end. You are feeling from HIS experience ... a haunted ghost. His experience of losing the one he loved so deeply, more than anything. He has to let her go so he can move on.... At the end, he reads her message and is gone. Puff ! God willing, he believes in Christ . Through Christ, you get to God and heaven. You get to be with the one you deeply , irrevocably, infinitely love. I love you, Tony .
quando assisti esse filme pela primeira vez, ele me pegou em cheio. foi tão brutal. cada cena, as pautas longas, os olhares, os movimentos - tudo entrando feito faca no peito, lentamente, mas o tipo de coisa que todos nós devemos sentir. e quando chega aquele monólogo no final? você meio que não sabe como reagir, exceto pensar em como ele soa realista (ou deprimente, para alguns). não é o tipo de coisa a qual você assiste e segue a vida normalmente. ele muda você. de alguma forma. fico feliz que filmes assim existem. a vida logo passa, as pessoas se vão e tudo o que podemos focar enquanto respiramos é em colecionar memórias (ainda que eles sumam quando nos formos).
Just got done watching this movie and it kinda scared me but at the same time so sad he stayed in that house threw everything and the end I wish I fr watch it for the first time
it's been some years and i'm still stuck in these feelings and this is not a complain. i know someday i'll move on. i enjoy my continuous deaths, it's part of this trip called life, i think.
