I've seen thousands of movies in my life but that movie will forever stand as one of the worst. The characters portrayed were very stupid and I didn't care what happens to them at all. The movie ended abruptly and just rushed to a finish. Luckily I didn't pay money to watch this movie if I did I would've got more entertainment if I just burned my money. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Rape is only a 'social construct' for misogynist rape apologists, whose hatred for women, and especially women fighting sexism and discrimination (i.e. feminists), is surpassed only by their ignorance.
The ending of the movie was not 'abrupt'. We know what happens leading up to it, and we know what the sisters are doing and where they are going as the movie ends. In fact, the last scene lingers as the music swells and the scene fades. Nothing 'abrupt' about it.
You must really like to rape. Every post you have is trying to argue for rape. It doesn't matter how intelligent you make your posts, you are pro-rape and trying to encourage other people to think that being anti-rape is a feminazi response. In fact, are you posting from prison where you are serving a sentence for numerous counts of rape?
I don't support it, but I also am not male, nor do I have a son. In case you can't read, I said it probably shouldn't be done. It's a different topic. Stop trying to justify rape, rapist.
P.S. IMDB boards are a really weird place to try to be an activist against circumcision, and no one (except other rapists) is going to take your position seriously when you continue to use phrases like "bad sex" and "unsolicited penis." Rape is a violent crime, and no amount of mental gymnastics by you makes it any less than that.
I'm sure the cold hard honest truth is, none of us would be here if it weren't for rape. Look at life as a whole. Life isn't perfect, it's crude, cruel and even has a malevolence about it. Many bad things happen in nature that would repulse any sane civilized person. But life offers it's pleasures as well. Sometimes real wonderful things come from some of life's harshest realities. Nobody that has experienced a devastating natural disaster wanted it to happen I'm sure. But it happens, then you just deal with it, since you can't stop it. Try to figure this out ladies. You don't deserve to have the world and life revolve around you. When people have lots or endless choices, it just slows or at times totally impedes things in life. Birthrates are at an all time low right now in many rather well to do societies around the world. Because people now have so much choice and options available to impede procreation. Yeah, I guess I'm more less saying we make too much out of sex. We just can't seem to accept how our evolution goes, unless it's absolutely perfect in the eyes of women.
You are so, so, so very wrong. First off, rape doesn't only happen to women. Secondly, rape does not simply mean "bad sex", as your twisted mind seems to think. Thirdly, rape is not an "ultimate compliment" to anyone. Rape isn't about finding someone so lovely that you can't keep your hands off of them. Rape is about power, sadism, dominance, and control.
The fact that you find the need to troll these boards with MRA propaganda, and promote rape as a "compliment" probably means you've justified your own violations of others in your head. Your opinion is therefore worthless (and not because you're a man, but because you're a dangerous and idiotic rape apologist).
Your rape propaganda, since that's the topic at hand. Your clear hatred of women, by your postings, is another tip-off that you are an MRA propagandist. You are a genuine psychopath, and no one takes you seriously because you are incapable of presenting your thoughts in a serious and clear fashion. If you want change, do it somewhere other than IMDB. Moron. Consider your stupid a$$ officially on ignore. I don't have time to waste on rapey mental midgets like yourself.
OK, as a person highly skilled in wilderness survival, I'm probably overthinking this. I really loved the film. The acting and story was excellent.
But...I felt that burning down the house was far too hasty. It represented a wealth of assets for their future survival. I understand that they wanted to be safe from the target/vulnerability it represented (particularly given terrible trauma of the brutal rape attack) , but it would have been far more prudent to slowly harvest it's value to another, hidden location. Then burn the house. The bags they quickly filled were not enough.
I'm just saying that technically surviving and thriving in the northern forest is not that easy for people whose culture didn't teach them how as native peoples' would have.
And hey, getting drenched risks hypothermia, and they did that right away while watching the house burn down.
I strongly agree. No need to burn the house to the ground with pretty much everything inside. At least gut it of major potential survival supplies - tarps, containers to gather water, insulation, books about plants etc. I enjoyed the movie too, and this was the most "off" part of the plot to me as well.
"Into the Forest Part II" would likely be these three withering away and dying in the forest. They have shown very little by way of common sense, and don't have training to fall back on. Not a brilliant move on their part to destroy their store of resources before setting off.
Agreed. Overly dramatic and not very smart, especially in drenching rain with a baby.
But it does support the movie’s theme — that we have become way too dependent on modern conveniences (electric power, internet, packaged food, and arguably even housing) that really serve more to imprison us. As one sister points out, man did just fine for 200,000 years without most of them.
I think this view comes partially from a misunderstanding of the movie. I went into it thinking it was a survival movie, it is not. It is a chick flick, instead of the normal story arch of the characters physical situation/skill (aka physical and mental) such a film would have, that is left out completely. The girls do not grow better able to survive, they do not better their lot. It is an emotional arc. It is an overcoming of their fugue state, they finally come to accept "reality", at least emotionally. The problem is that with the film comely ignoring any physical/mental growth, and focusing singularly on emotional growth, they still are completely unable to survive, they still do not really accept reality in that sense.
So I do not want to just blanket say that it is a horrible movie. It is unrealistic, it is a chick flick, but I am not positive that it is objectively horrible.
I wont call it the worst movie I ever watched. But I had serious problems with this movie and the ending.
People are survivalists by nature. These two sisters seemed to not worry about what they are doing, what is happening to the world. Or even basic fear of safety was not there. They were living like they were in vacation. Uncertainty about the world should be terrifying. The child thing was such a joke. People die giving birth. Why would you take such a risk for no strong reason? They did not bother to provide a better or an emotional reason. That was amateur script writing. Why would you burn the house? Its like a haven inside a forest. How is the base of tree even compares when you have a newborn child? This movie is a 3/10. Total Nonsense.
