CADDO LAKE Move Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@AT-sd9qq]

This sounds a little like that Netflix show "Dark" from Germany.

[@rememberpickles]

It sounds a LOT like Dark--I kept waiting for them to bring it up.

[@ThisisBrandi]

It sounds exactly like that show!!!! Wow.

[@greghohenberger3185]

It definitely had some dark vibes but it was really enjoyable

[@PuertoGeekan]

It's exactly what I thought. And interesting that Joseph commented this movie would've worked better as a series.

[@greghohenberger3185]

@@PuertoGeekan I was actually really happy. It wasn't a series.... I don't think this would have dragged out that well as a series

[@MidnightLeo19]

Anna is Ellie's stepsister, in the movie, 2022 version of Anna said "Mimi wants to adpot me, and daddy wants to adopt you". Ellie's response to this is "you don't want to see you real mother in Florida?" Daniel is Anna's biological father, but she was not birthed by Cee/Celeste. The punchline to Ellie constantly saying that she isn't related to anyone comes full circle at the end when she tells Daniel "we are family." Anna is her grandmother, which makes Daniel, Ellie's great-grandfather.

[@chad63]

what if future older ellie that went time travelling again is anna's mother that met younger daniel lol

[@hayleys4627]

Giving that character long red hair was such a mistake because I instantly guessed they were the same person.

[@corriemayo2715]

Guys, if U’d like to see a similar premise fleshed out expertly with great casting, and visuals, I Highly recommend the German series DARK, on Netflix. An underrated series in the US imho

[@Angelmac1980]

I definitely got Dark vibes. That is one of the best shows I’ve ever watched.

[@tynnettam9636]

I was thinking the same thing! I’m still watching season 2 of Dark on Netflix.

Did anyone pay attention to the alligator the kids found with the severed leg and the way the rope was suddenly cut off while Ellie was holding it?

[@drprathamprakash1408]

Yes the crocodile was cut up in 2 cause he was between 2 dimensions/Time portal..

[@laci2966]

I watched this last night and tried recapping it to my daughter who left halfway through. It was a task.

[@ACF1972JHB]

Time travel mess express, Joseph? 😂

[@hattiesallie2622]

“That’s what comes to your mind “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@newmonet]

Did Anna loose her memories of 2022 life when growing up in 1952 or just kept quiet about the future…?

[@ButterCookie1984]

Great question...

[@Emjay.d]

That was my question. Was she having the nose bleeds because she was going through the portals trying to get back to her own timeline, or did she just wake up in the fifties and decide to just stay there. I thought if the movie was about Pearis following his moms trail into learning about the portals it would have been a better movie. Like if she just was stuck there but was trying to figure it all out and get back to her own time but went missing or got lost or something and so he went through her steps and figured out the same thing but ultimately couldn’t do anything because it would mess up the timeline and he wouldn’t exist. It was a premis with a lot of potential but I feel like they chose the most boring thing to happen in a time travel movie. I mean there wasn’t ever even a confrontation scene between Pearis and Ellie or Celeste.

[@newmonet]

Thanks for the replies (and pardon my loose/lose typo) - time travel is my preferred sci fi genre and I rushed to this review after watching the movie because the age of eight growing up with certain technology and social progression going back to the 50s just got to me…

[@gigihanmandarin]

@@newmonetShe did not figure out the time portal up until her death. She just woke up and found herself to be in 1952. I think, People just found her a little crazy when she talked about the future and after a while she just shut up and lived a normal life as an orphan/adopted kid as depicted in the photographs. Albeit with the seizures that was diagnosed as myoclonic seizures that coincide with drought seasons (time portal openings) which she did not understand or aware of.

[@shondanesbittfair9674]

In the immortal words of Ripley “this little girl made it without weapons or training”. I think the lesson is in the strength and character of the 8 year old girl thrown in the past and truly had no family but made a life for herself. Snap out of it Ellie.

[@meganmangold1074]

Wouldn't she have noticed in 2022 that her daughter looked like the girl Paris ran off with?

[@user-cg9fu8ty7v]

explains the resentment? but also it was such a quick interaction and asking a lot of memory.

[@davidmckesey7119]

​@user-cg9fu8ty7v that was 20 years ago however she did mention she ran into a girl in the supermarket.

[@captain07234]

Anything would've been better than the movie Phillips and Phoenix made.

[@PuertoGeekan]

Interesting that Joseph said this would've worked better as a series, because this seems very reminiscent of the German series 'Dark" on Netflix.

[@veganpeace7890]

This sounds too confusing. I like twists and mysteries, but up to a point. If it's gets too twisty and confusing I check out. I do like Dylan O' Brien though!

[@flameshot12021]

The charm is also almost shaped like Caddo Lake too

[@yesitislikethat]

Soooo, _Dark_ lite. 🤭 I can’t take credit for that, though. I heard a reviewer giving the series _Bodies_ that description. 😂 Loved _Dark_ and _Bodies,_ by the way. ☺️

[@__cvssie__]

Looove your shirt! The high witch from the movie witches! Such a classic!

[@zuribuable]

Please watch kindred. I just saw caddo lake and I went straight to you all. I admit I was slightly distracted because I was styling a girls hair but, this was hard to follow until the third act. By that time, I was almost ready to complete watching it later. I stuck it out. They should have told us earlier what was happening. Her stealing her own boat, seeing herself. It was a lot to follow.

[@jandmvideos9051]

Sounds like “Outer Range,” a series on Amazon Prime.

[@pamelalansbury94]

Yep, trade the lake for a big hole and a swamp for a ranch.

[@jandmvideos9051]

@@pamelalansbury94 right!

[@davidmckesey7119]

With a lot less stupid singing. I hated that show lol

[@pamelalansbury94]

Before you even said the lake had time travel I was thinking “this is gonna be some DARK ripoff”

[@doddynuryanto3800]

And Dark take inspiration from Predestination

[@puspavelai8353]

A Film title that *actually* means what its story wishes to convey - Nick making that clear with *Topside* - good opening introduction for this one with the *location* being supernatural!

[@MeghannMonroe]

This was like the Amazon show Outer Range. Also did they ever explain the wolves?

[@TechnicJunglist]

I'm still confused about this plot even though you rigorously explained it, so I'll have to watch the movie. Maybe i need more coffee 😆 thank you guys!

[@handlessbeggar11]

Enjoyed the movie and the review. Use this chance to shout out a movie with a similar premise called Coherence

[@tylerkleavitt]

Im confused on how Paris travelled from 2003 to 1952 and saved his mom that travelled to 1952 from 2022… how could Paris exist to save his mom if he would’ve never existed unless he saved her?

[@smurfettetutorialchannel8248]

I think it's kinda like simultaneous timelines because remember Anna excited in 2022 but also went on 2 grow up in 1952 and went on to have Paris

[@doddynuryanto3800]

You can watch Predestination or Dark series, it has the same premise

[@GlynDwr-d4h]

It's like the movie Predestination or the question of how the protagonists met in The Time Traveler's Wife. It's a paradox because you can't establish what causes what, so it's like a loop. And if you look at the necklace, whose origin we can't establish in the same way, it resembles a yin/yang, which symbolizes a continuous and infinite loop.

[@areyoufriendly]

You guys were able to get this good summation out of this razzi worthy screenplay? The confusion continues. So the plot is the chicken and egg metaphor? That’s the best we have right?

[@gigihanmandarin]

Yes. It is a "loop" logic meaning what happened/happens will happen and nothing those time travelers can do to change it.

[@kelsturc4465]

Knew I could come here to fact check what I was trying to figure out after watching this movie lol

I second Everything u explained. It was beyond super confusing and complicated. I went into this blindfolded totally!! Let’s just say I wasn’t impressed with this film. TY for breaking it down. Well, I guess I can’t get those two hours back of my life. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@asobibuddy8481]

The Kindred adaptation was unwatchable. All of Octavia Butler's book read well, so I hope for better video based on her work.

[@cochisecarter6298]

Thank you but so many are blown away in reviews I've been reading 😅😅😅 it completely missed me and it definitely shouldn't be under horror!

[@gigihanmandarin]

It is very Shyamalan. The movie prompts you to rewatch right away after you have just finished watching it.

[@nonabliss]

@@gigihanmandarin No thanks. I’m good.

[@AFFTFOMSICHTS]

I ran to this after watching it. I was so confused that the guy was Anna’s son but also Ellie’s dad at the same time. But Anna and Ellie are half siblings so what ? But The first scene when he was in a car in the water, the woman looks like an older Ellie or possibly Ellie’s mom.

[@AFFTFOMSICHTS]

Ok I rewinded it, the woman does look like an older Anna. Idk why I thought she looked like an older Ellie. It was hard to tell as the scene of the her drowning was brief. I can’t imagine how weird for Anna to be be born in the 2010s then adopted in 1952 she must of been so confused and painted crazy wondering where her mom, dad and sister were but I guess they would’ve just blamed the injury.

[@chance757]

i haven’t finished the show yet myself but based on what i’ve seen so far and this review, it seems like the creators of this film are also a fan of a german show netflix produced called “DARK”. the time travel seems to be done a lot better there though so i’ll stick to that. loved the review as usual though guys! 💕

[@audreyquinn73]

That was my first thought, too! The first season of "Dark" was great, but I never saw the other seasons. ❤

[@chance757]

[@katrina7940]

This movie confused me so much. Who is Anna’s father? How can Paris exist when Celeste didn’t have Anna until after he died?

[@crysflake]

Anna's father is Daniel. Which means Celeste is not Anna's mother.

[@gigihanmandarin]

Anna's father is Daniel, probably from his previous marriage, now Celeste's husband. Celeste is also the baby momma of Ellis whom the father is Paris before Celeste got married. Anna time travels back to 1952. Anna had Paris with Ben (the dying old man), and Paris & Celeste had Ellie. So Daniel is Ellie's stepfather and great grandfather at the same time. Movie logic, go figure.

[@01denese]

The Christopher Reeve movie went back and forth from the past to present time too. If I didn't already know his story, it would have been very confusing.

[@cobrakaicyberdon]

This film was just way too convoluted. I still don't understand who is Anna's father. And there was other stuff I just couldn't work out. It might just be me. But I'm usually good working out stuff in films. But this one had me scratching my head. But great review as always. You guys are quickly becoming my favourite review channel.

[@crysflake]

Anna's father is Daniel I believe which make him the great grandpa of Ellie

[@elissonfarias3918]

I loved this film in the first time, I didn't find it confusing at all, and I haven't even seen "Dark" which, from what people say, is more complex. Dylan and Eliza are incredible, and the film becomes much better when rewatched.

[@janiecej7637]

I quite enjoyed Eliza Scanlen 🙂. And I enjoyed this movie. I do wish the movie was a bit longer.

[@SanjuroDandy]

Saw it today. Movie was okay. Performances were decent. Felt like it ran of steam shortly after the twist.

[@04dcd]

I liked this movie but my biggest plot issue is that once Paris is in the future (to him) he makes this big panic about "getting back" which ultimately leads to his death but it's like...why? Everyone you know and love is right there. All you'd have to do is say who you are. Yes you missed time but wouldn't you just want to find your girlfriend in the present day? Idk.

[@ShaMagic]

Exactly, and did Ana lose her memory or not? And i wish Elle met Older Ana. It's an ok movie but lazy writing

[@MrJson1006]

Then he would be almost 20 years older and would have missed all that time with his family. Unfortunately he dies trying to get back and without that, the whole premise of the movie is not possible. If he made it back , he would have been there to father Ellie and Celest never would have met Daniel or Anna.

[@gigihanmandarin]

He didn't know it would lead him to his death. He was trying to get back to 2003 to be his "present self" while the police was chasing and the portal was closing up. He wasn't having a good time in 2022. He's being detained by the police, and all he knew at that moment was if he didn't get into the portal soon it would be decades before the drought would hit again. He did not have the chance to foresee that he would be killed while trying.

[@c.iga.m]

I really liked this movie. It does have DARK vibes which is a show that I loved! After Trap, it was nice to watch a M. movie with an unexpected twist.

[@filmgirlLisa]

This was better than most of what M. Night does.

[@Inaisola]

I liked this movie, it was a real brain twister ..Ellie's father was Paris who was the son of her younger half sister Anna.. and there's Celeste, Ellie and Anna's mother who was in a relationship with Anna's son Paris, Ellie's dad ..that's crazy

[@xxplick]

CELESTE IS NOT ANNA'S MOTHER. CELESTE IS ONLY ALLIE'S MOTHER. YOU HAVE IT WRONG. CELESTE IS ANNA'S STEPMOTHER ONLY. YOU HAVE IT WRONG.

[@Inaisola]

@xxplick holy shit! Calm down why you yellin'? It's all good ..

[@alfredoparsons5420]

So basically a ripoff of the show Dark but done poorly

[@gigihanmandarin]

Anna's father is Daniel, probably from his previous marriage, now Celeste's husband. Celeste is also the baby momma of Ellis whom the father is Paris before Celeste got married. Anna time travels back to 1952. Anna had Paris with Ben (the dying old man), and Paris & Celeste had Ellie. So Daniel is Ellie's stepfather and great grandfather at the same time. Movie logic, go figure.

[@kk-if1hu]

idk I feel like anna or that necklace has powers or something, where did she come from

[@gigihanmandarin]

The necklace is to symbolize the "loop" logic. It was given to Anna by her mother Celeste, dropped it when she fell in the swamp/time portal, Ellis found it and again dropped it in the time portal, and the younger Paris found it where Ellis dropped it and gifted it to younger Celeste. Hence, the necklace is stuck in the time loop with no real explanation of origin. "Chicken and egg" paradox, some would say.

[@natalietodd5698]
