Open box/closed box (spoilers)


You can't KINDA open a box. It's either opened or it's not. Lara OBVIOUSLY OPENED Pandoras Box. So many things in this movie was just silly but it's good action and you got to see Angelina Jolie in tight clothing so I guess it evens out.

No, she started to open the box, the light started to seep out, but then she stopped and moved the lid to its original position, she just shifted it a little.

Dear me! What is that unpleasant aroma? I fear the sewer may have backed up during the night.

I think that's what OP meant. For the light to seep out, box has to be opened. It was opened but not completely.

From Dictionary.Com

-to uncover, lay bare, or expose to view.
-to render the interior of (a box, drawer, etc.) readily accessible.

Lara did not uncover it, the cover was clearly on the box the whole time. She did not "render the interior of" Pandora's box "readily accessible". She kinda opened the box, but did not open the box. I "kinda open" boxes every day. How hard is it to believe?
