Okay...
The way they focused on it made me think something would come of it, like her getting stuck to the lift, but no.
Does the director have a urination fetish or something?
yea she got her stupid hand stuck but not her wet pee butt lol ugh that could have at least added some comedy.
shareIf you want a serious answer, the reason that scene is meaningful is that it shows the helplesness of her condition. As she realizes that she has given in to her bladder, with no other option, she feels the total vulnerability of the position she's in. It was one more step downwards into her hopelessness and terror.
shareThat's why we needed the zoom in on her crotch, right?
shareThere was no zoom in. It cut to a shot of her urinating herself. Big whoop. Like someone said, it was to show her helplessness.

...and fear, a fleeting moment of warm comfort -
shareNo there totally was a zoom in. They zoomed in on her crotch, then back out to show her looking at Lynch, then back in and you watch the urine spread out on the seat, then the under shot of it dripping from the chair.
shareGreat answer.
I was also glad that they cared to include at least a reference to the fact that she had actually peed -it had been mentioned earlier on, and it would have bothered me if I'd had to suspend my disbelief that much to believe she had gone on until the end being able to hold it. Bodily functions are basically completely ignored in survival movies.
Or the director has a pee-pee fetish!

Exactly and well put!
shareAnyone who has lived up north knows that wearing wet clothes in the cold makes it worse. I would have no shame in that situation to just let it hang out and pee so as I would not have to sit in cold wet clothes. And why did she leave her hand exposed to the cold?
shareShe left her hand exposed because people move while they're asleep, her hand could've easily end there.
You can't hold it forever, you have to pee sometimes, it's dangerous if you don't.
was this the "scenes of sexuality???" because it the opening this movie had bad stuff in it screens it shows Sexuality but i dont see any???? Was it the zipping down her shirt to coax the lift operator?????
shareIt's not sexual; I think it shows that she's starting to give up. What most guys don't realize is that for a woman to pee herself is extremely humiliating, and we won't do it unless we see absolutely no alternative. Guys can just whip it out and pee. The logistics for women are different, and for her to do it while Joe was sleeping right next to her would have been very embarrassing...a last resort.
"Level head? I think mine's level, and yours is the one things would roll off of."
Newsflash... its humiliating for men when they pee themselves too. Everyone realizes that its humiliating to pee yourself. The fact that you think men don't realize that its humiliating if a woman pees herself its downright hilarious. No, men think that women love to pee themselves, lol. Wow.
The part of your statement about it being a last resort is accurate, and doing it next to Joe while he's sleeping is embarrassing, yes. But the rest of your post is just sheer ignorance.
Wow...Have you considered decaf? Oh, and using Spellcheck wouldn't hurt either.
"Level head? I think mine's level, and yours is the one things would roll off of."
What did he misspell?
shareUm... nothing is misspelled in my post. Perhaps you need to try re-reading it, and not just bypassing that into a failed attempt at an insult because someone called you out on your ridiculous sexist claims?
Nice try though... keep attempting to deflect that you're an idiot for thinking men don't realize that its embarrassing to pee yourself.
*yawn*
"Level head? I think mine's level, and yours is the one things would roll off of."
its = possessive form of "it" You should have used "it's", which is the same as "it is". I know it's nitpicky, but that doesn't make me an idiot. I also never said that men aren't embarrassed if they pee themselves. Jeeze, what a $hitstorm over one little post.
"Level head? I think mine's level, and yours is the one things would roll off of."
Heh heh..., men dont like to be "corrected" by girls -
shareI called you an idiot for saying that men don't realize that it's embarrassing for women to pee themselves, not for thinking I misspelled my post. That fact still remains true. Unless you misspoke, there was no reason for you to throw a sexist dagger in your post to begin with. Your exact words were "What most guys don't realize is that for a woman to pee herself is extremely humiliating". If you actually believe that most men don't realize that is humiliating, then you are an idiot, plain and simple. Then again, you already proved that by having no intelligent response other than to feebly attack my grammar.
As for using SpellCheck, the word is still spelled correctly, it is just grammatically incorrect. So you are right that I should have checked, but SpellCheck would not catch that. GrammarCheck would, but I'm not going to waste my time dumping my post into Microsoft Word to check the grammar on it, when I already have SpellCheck on my browser.
Humiliating or not, it's a lot easier for us fellas to avoid peeing ourselves as we can just "whip it out" at any point in time. I think that's what she was getting at in her post.

That would be an error in grammar, not spelling.

exactly
shareRubbish, you women just need to sit down in the ladies toilets in restaurants... because of the way men's urinals are designed, its unhygienic to sit down in it, so we have to stand up. I'd say you got the better comfort level there.

Guys joke constantly about bodily functions. They fart infront of eachother and have the ability to have a 5 minute conversation about it. I even had a friend who pissed himself on purpose in class once as a joke because our substitute would'nt let him go to bathroom. Its overall a more embarassing subject for women. I dont know why but that scene reminded me of the "I threw up" scene in Jurassic Park.
Stop pulling your sister's hair!
Utter crap, women joke about that kinda stuff as much as guys.

Better to be embarrassed then to be cold AND wet....
shareReally?? It's late...I'm not interested in debating this any more. If you want to crap up someone's inbox, do it to the OP. If you want to respond to one of my posts, do it to theirs.
This is OOOOOOLLLLLDDDDD! Start a new discussion or something.
Jeeze.
I will not be beaten; you have yet to see me shining!
I just couldn't believe she had held it that long from when she first said she had to go, so maybe she had already urinated on herself a couple of times before then (I hope!)
sharei felt like it just showed the total despair in the situation. i also just think it was a very human moment.
shareFor me this was the only realistic moment in the film, it was a nice film but i just felt so bad for her. This moment captured the feeling that she had finally given up. To turn this into some "urinating fetish", WHY even think that way?
shareWhat's funny is she already has frostbite, lost the skin on her palm, and just saw her bf devoured by wolves, but we're supposed to believe that pissing herself is still the biggest tragedy after all that. (Cue tragic music.) Ridiculous.
In reality, pissing yourself at that point would be a near-orgasmic pleasure, given the relief it would produce, not to mention the warmth.
This is when/why the film first jumped the shark.
First off, never ever ever would peeing yourself be "near-orgasmic" no matter how much "relief it would produce."
Secondly, you aren't supposed to believe that her peeing her pants is the biggest tragedy, you're supposed to believe that she's giving up and resigning herself to die in that chair.
I don't feel that this movie jumped the shark. I think you're just one of those asshats who feel that EVERY last second of EVERY movie needs to be 100% believable. Well, you want something that believable, go sit on your front porch, instead of in front of a movie screen or television.
And if this is "when/why the film first jumped the shark." What were the other times for you?
i watched this show during midnight on my laptop alone and you got me laughing uncontrollably for a few seconds at 5am here LOL
shareStarriknyghts, this response is late by 6-months, but I think you may be wrong in your snarky attitude to the previous poster. Have you ever had to pee really badly, and you have to hold it in, because you are not near a toilet, and you are not in a place where you can simply relieve yourself? When you are finally able to pee, that feeling is really good. I mean really good.
shareThe reason there was focus on it was because that was a very personal decision for her to basically use the bathroom on that chair. A lot of women will find it difficult or uncomfortable to just go on one's butt in pants like that. It's like with people in the hospital will illnesses, it is a moment of realization when they have to pee in a bag or bottle, especially with a nurse walking around. She didn't want to have to pee on that ski lift.
