Guy: pretty much dissects a girl The townsfolk: lmao you get an A for effort, you can go

[@LiquidGirlfriendFreeBoy]

I always thought that they were like demons I guess. And that he actually tried to save her life going past what a normal person would do so they let him leave. I can't say I would try all that on someone I hit in the middle of the night. It felt like a judgment of his character like he was deemed worthy or something willing to go the extra mile for another person no pun intended

[@Fightingforthelost]

@@LiquidGirlfriendFreeBoy They started judging him from the moment he hit her in the road. Instead of leaving and pretending it never happened, he called for help, he picked her up and put her in the car. He drove to a hospital. When he couldn't find anyone to help, he did his best to help her on his own. Dude was the best person in the movie. He did something wrong (hitting her), but after that, he did everything he did to save her. Everyone else was either weighed down by guilt (the girl didn't have a direct hand in the death of her friend), pride (dude who tried to "save" his sister), or rage (the guys who killed the family). We don't know what caused the dad of the family to kill the one guy's daughter. I don't think that the mother was "innocent", because she seemed AWARE of what it was about before she was killed. The only real innocent in the entire thing was the daughter at the end, who died because rather than escaping, she tried to help her family.

[@ataridc]

He stayed and faced his problems instead of running and takes responsibility and tried his best to save her. It's weird to see a positive outcome in a horror anthology, but I was glad he got to live. Shame she had to go out in such a horrific way lol

[@christopherbennett5858]

@@ataridc Plus, he never disobeyed them. They seem much more lenient with people who do as they're told. Not to mention he did finish off their intended kill so he might have just been a means to an end.

[@rosaliematta]

@@christopherbennett5858 that’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m not sure he did anything but be a pawn in their game to kill the girl- hence why they laughed when she finally died. Because he didn’t do anything (that we know of) prior to entering the town, they had nothing to truly hold him there other than use him for a bit of fun and then send him on his way.

[@bobbob2932]

The "judgment" theme kind of falls when you compare the respective crimes and the punishments of the different characters. Seems to be much more about punishing those who feel guilty, rather than necessarily punishing wrongdoers. Leaving a friend alone (which is not equivalent to murder) gets punished with a horrific death sentence, but reckless vehicular manslaughter is (relatively) okay, meaning Sadie is doomed for failing to protect her friend (meanwhile her innocent? friends get dragged into it become demons), while the guy who kills her gets to leave? And then the woman who murdered her parents for fun gets to become a demon, while the guys who murder another family in revenge are killed/trapped. As is the teen who tries to stop her parents killers. Doesn't seem so much about "punishing sin" or "atoning for wrongdoings" as just demons being demons with a whack moral system.

[@The_Distortionist_Waits]

Maybe the demons are kind of like humans, morals and views and different for each one, if one finds a human guilty, they punish them, it is not dependent on the severity of the sin, maybe it's just whether or not the demons you encounter find you guilty

[@thematthew4324]

i think the reason he got to leave was because he tried everything he could to save her leaving your female friend alone during a night out on the town is pretty damn negligent, it's at least about as or more negligent than looking at your phone while driving in the middle of no where, and technically the demons are sort of to blame for putting her in his way

[@AnimatedTerror]

I think... that everyone’s overthinking this and really it’s just that the writers had a cool idea and it kinda crumbled around them as the story progressed. I speak from experience. Anthology stories are a bitch to write.

[@mep15067]

I think its actually supposed to be that, the entities in this movie seem to be clearly malevolent, so the judgment aspect is there just to inflict as much misery as possible

In this situation Frodo is in despair at how his whole life has changed from a peaceful like to one filled with danger which is clearly evident when sneaking through the mines of moria. Frodo says to gandalf “I wish the ring had never come to me, I wish none of this had happened” to which gandalf replied “so do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide, all you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

[@danmyers2759]

@Joseph Douek I don’t know - even Lucas was guilty of negligent driving - though accident it may be and he was allowed to leave with no punishment. Danny had purely altruistic motives. He even said when he first entered the bar that he didn’t want to hurt anyone, he just wanted his sister back. He also tried to absolve his sister of her guilt by telling her that their parents death wasn’t her fault (though it apparently was). His only “crime” was not following “the rules”. The two guys at the start were condemned from the get go by murdering innocents. The rules of this purgatory just seem very inconsistent. Or more likely - lackadaisical script writing.

[@alvaroignacioriquelmezamud7417]

I don't think the punishment theory holds that much weight across the entirety of the movie. The reapers seem to be their own entities while the people from the highway seem to be of a more demonic variety. They are just pricks inflicting misery. The reason Lucas got to flee was because he was a cleanup crew. The diference with him from everyone across the movie is that he paid a service to the demons, He entered a dark bargain where he silenced the one girl that ran away, even unknowingly. Playing to the theme of fantasy where Demons will contract mortals to do their bidings. In all the histories fighting your demons isn't the solution, the demons are stronger than men. Lucas was offered a dark bargain, Do the demons bidding and the reward was an out, he didn't get to walk because he complied, he got away by the wims of the demons.

Truly mean they needed an example and he didn't blow someone's arm off.

Though most people theorize that he's given new clothes and a new car so he can repeat the same event in an endless loop like the rest, and that would seal the idea that there is no escape from SouthBound, like you're Bound to the South (Hell, being that North would be Heaven)

I think in Lucas' case, he must've been in a hit-and-run accident because he seems to be hesitanting more than once when he hit Sadie, but having been reminded of the guilt having experienced the situation decided to do all his best to help her and confront his guilt all those years ago. Thus, he's able to move beyond purgatory to either heaven or just carry on with his life. Although I'm confused about Danny's case, I don't see the reason of his tragedy, but reminds me of Orpheus and his attempt to rescue the soul of his wife from the underworld.

[@ธนาเดชศุภนัทนพร]

Orpheus broke his promise and Danny didn’t accept his sister sin’s thus dragging him down with her

This is my kind of evil domain story, one that goes by the rules of redemption and perdition. Some stories set in similar locales choose to ignore or break the rules, just to try and force a bleak downer ending on you and give a ho-hum story a bitter punchline. But Southbound does it right, showing that there is a course for redemption, but that redemption itself is a shaky bridge you must walk carefully, or you'll fall. Ultimately it's your own choices that decide whether you find what you're hoping for.

Depends on version and interpretations. Some exist as temptors, some are more just angel-like figures taking on the dirty work if doling out punishment for example. Many different types and purposes for demons

Horror certainly is different depending on how short or long it is if it’s long horror must be very well-performed but made it short the mystery coagulates and leaves you thinking and promptly being horrified afterwards while also able to recommend it due to ease of watching

[@ericdavis2018]

There's no way the guy from the car accident was a doctor. Everything they told him to do, from a medical standpoint, was insanely wrong and could only hope to worsen or kill the patient, such was clearly the point. And when he went to intubate her, he grabbed and used a nasal cannula, meant to administer oxygen from the nose. Otherwise, excellent video!! I love your channel :)

[@prettyevil6662000]

I'm not convinced Lucas is actually let go. Seems more like they reset him so he could repeat a loop of accidentally murdering someone and then running away from the consequences again. While you can say he tried everything in his power, he still ultimately ran away and never wants anyone to know it happened. That's the same as the girl he hit's 'sin' - and she arguably had less culpability in her friend's death as just leaving someone alone at a party isn't manslaughter while running over a person is.

[@traci_angels3549]

The "judgment" theme kind of falls when you compare the respective crimes and the punishments of the different characters. Seems to be much more about punishing those who feel guilty, rather than necessarily punishing wrongdoers. Leaving a friend alone (which is not equivalent to murder) gets punished with a horrific death sentence, but reckless vehicular manslaughter is (relatively) okay, meaning Sadie is doomed for failing to protect her friend (meanwhile her innocent? friends get dragged into it become demons), while the guy who kills her gets to leave? And then the woman who murdered her parents for fun gets to become a demon, while the guys who murder another family in revenge are killed/trapped. As is the teen who tries to stop her parents killers. Doesn't seem so much about "punishing sin" or "atoning for wrongdoings" as just demons being demons with a whack moral system.

Lucas was my favorite character, I believe his "I'll do everything I can" and following through on it and not leaving her to die spared him from a damned fate. Also, his "I don't deserve this" was genuine. Which I'd why the Demons asked him to elaborate and they liked his answer.
