THIS MOVIE WAS SO WEIRD︱*LONGLEGS* First Time Watching

[@RonPaul-v8j]

18:25 the writer/director was first inspired by reading about a life size replica doll in a box in 6yr old jonbenet Ramsey's basement wearing her clothes . The same basement she was unalived in a unsolved case 30 some years ago

As a Maika Monroe fan, I would encourage you to see The Guest and her breakout role "It Follows". My favourite is a 2 hander set in Iceland "Bokeh" primarily because few people have seen it. I hope to see this reaction channel flourish, have a nice Xmas holidays

@@esoteric_1 thank you!

This movie is the most Nicholas Cage with the least Nicholas Cage possible. The most efficient Nicholas Cage ratio ever devised

Never thought I'd see Nicolas Cage casted as a zombified Tiny Tim, but here we are.

I love this movie - but I can see why some might not - and it’s primarily down to the fact that having some knowledge as to how Perkins does his thing helps appreciate it more. He’s the master of ambiguity and leaving things up in the air -- ie. "The Blackcoats Daughter"- it’s effectively his calling card at this point - personally I love it, but it’s an acquired taste. Another thing he’s masterful at is dropping little hints here and there - and “Longlegs” has many - just going to go through a few: 1 - It takes about 5 minutes for the viewer to figure out that there’s something a little... odd, about Lee. She’s stilted, weirdly unemotional, awkward - quite frankly she comes across as someone on the spectrum. But there’s another little hint as to what the truth is... and it’s right there from the beginning. Notice how Lee walks - slightly hunched, stiff long strides, head down, arms basically clamped to her sides - her arms basically don’t leave her side for the entire first 2/3 of the movie - why is that? It’s a doll allegory - she walks like a doll being played with. At the end of the movie, we know why. Also - she’s much more animated after Ruth shoots the doll. 2 - Ruth isn’t handicapped, she’s obviously troubled, but she’s not handicapped - why is one of the defining traits of her character through the movie that she takes a long time to pick the phone up? The viewer is led to believe it’s a quirk... truth is she’s in the basement and it takes a while to get upstairs. The only real time Ruth shows any true mirth during the film is when Lee tells her that she doesn’t pray and haven’t prayed in a long time - she cackles, but then seems oddly proud of Lee for coming to that realization - we know why in hindsight. And about Ruth - and I’ll just say it: “Hail Alicia Witt” - the ending is horrific, in a tragic sense. It’s clear that her reasons for doing what she’s doing is no longer about keeping her daughter safe, or not entirely, that is. And she tells on herself when she says: “I’ll do it again, and again, and again - and that makes it right” (the notion of protecting Lee) - at some point Ruth stopped caring about the justifications and Lee became a giant permission slip for her to keep pleasing “Father” Which brings us to the ending: “Father” has a plan for Lee, Ruth, Longlegs - for everybody. And Longlegs tells Lee exactly what her endgame is in the interrogation when he tells Lee that he’ll “let her get started now” - up until that point Lee has simply been a pawn, Satan has moved her around on the board a little, but nothing indicative of what her fate is - until Longlegs tells her the aforementioned. Lee’s life has been like one of those toy cars that you wind up by pulling it backwards and letting it go - to her “birthday party” Lee’s fate was always to know the truth, about herself, about Longlegs, about her mother - and having to live with that knowledge and the visual of her mother’s body slumped on that couch - and that she’s the reason for it. It’s why the gun clicks when she tries to shoot the doll - the devil planned it that way - she’s meant to “savor” the moment - twist and burn, little girl, forever. “Hail Satan”

This movie never really went anywhere It was incredibly predictable. Watch Lost Highway; it's an experience.
