Emma was just a piece of art in that very cold museum, was it really a home? The scene where Tancredi is putting on her jewelry in their master bathroom is so telling of how she is just property and Tancredi is just adorning Emma in the same fashion that the ugly house is adorned.
At the end when Emma is almost out the door, just getting an approval and loving nod from Betta, Eva is ambitious and senses that she can take Emma's place as a new mother within the Recchi family. Hence, the Recchi's still will own a piece of Edo with Eva's baby and the family will have new life because they are vampires. It doesn't matter to anyone but Betta that Emma will be gone because to the rest of the Recchi family they can replace her rather easily with Eva.

Antonio was crazy in love with Emma. When the "Recchi Wives" had lunch at Antonio's restaurant, where she had her epiphany prawns, outside after the meal he practically hand writes a note about where and when he would be in San Remo. He saw and profoundly understood her reaction to his exquisite cooking.
Next: When Emma finally arrives in San Remo on that day, she spies the Russian Orthodox Church, where Antonio is picked up on radar.
but
Isn't it really Antonio who is snaring Emma? The camera angles and editing show inconsistencies on the part of Emma and Antonio during the San Remo street/book store scenes, they are very tricky.
He may have been waiting to see if she would arrive in San Remo, he would know about the Russian church and he would know she would be drawn to the beautiful building. Yes, he had a bag of produce to give to the chef but it was Antonio who KNEW she was in the bookstore, asks yourselves how could he have known if he hadn't known exactly where she was, once she caught sight of him. It is painfully clear he looks directly into the bookstore, that is what unnerves her and it is enough that she walks out of the store with the book, as she not so mysteriously slams into him. Later, up on the mountain, the way he walks up behind hers just captivating and as natural as the birds and the bees flying around them.
"Tyler was silent because that man took something away from him, he was a shell of of boy" as evidenced by the car mechanic also being the shell of a man and by Donnie being the same way. Yes I believe he was abused, maybe not by the doctor but perhaps by doctor's father...the doctor stated "This office belonged to my father and his father, I would hate to loose it now". I believe Donnie did call the cops and the sheriff already knew there was evidence against the doctor and him, he couldn't hide it this time because the evidence was out of his jurisdiction. I would think that most juries would tend to go soft on facts and evidence like this.
I just watched this film online. The story covers four generations of the same family. How much NOOKIE do you need?
A different kind of film but "Picture Bride" I thought was beautiful also.
Thanks but what about Teije's former girlfriend being the dead body in the water?
Tom wasn't connected enough to his mother, he didn't keep the locket that was left to him which meant that the proverbial chain had been broken.
I also thought that Tom was first, in that particular group, to have arrived at the shack/cabin(sorry but I had to!) and each arrival thereafter Samantha, Jody and Hans arrived in reverse linear importance, Hans being the pater familias and the most important because he started the chain. The Timechain could be altered but not reversed.
A tesseract and the inner box was actually the square cabin in the woods.
He did say something about it and Samantha says it runs slow. Tom was looking at the car from a vintage car standpoint.
I was wondering the same thing? Tom was born eight months prior to his mother being executed for killing Keven. In the beginning when Keven and Jody hold up the mini-market and the cashier tells Jody you won"t like what's in the safe and then you here a bang, well, I had thought that she shot the cashier but she couldn't have because she experiences what is in the safe. The safe being a metaphor for the box shaped cabin in the woods. In jody's perfect life she would never have met Kevin. Jody did go on and on about not ever wanting to be a mother. And Tom never kept his mother's locket.
Yes, this is the best explanation so far and makes much more sense. Thanks.
I like your alternative nest with explosives idea. I thought I saw invasion from the air/space headlines on the father’s workbench area. I thought the creatures may have needed mammalian blood to feed their biological component. Again, that pounding ear really looked human of sorts. I thought when the boy was in the cornfield by himself that something or someone grabbed him and pulled him into the corn to protect him. I was surprised when later he was found OK by himself. I thought the film kind of played with our heads a little.
1) No one was sure if the supplies they had for soundproofing would work.
2) Animals: I didn’t see any dogs, cats or cows around anywhere, only the wild animals that came out of the forest around the farm.
3) The father would have known what farm families were still around and felt reasonably safe, these trips were teaching experiments and dad was trying to empower the children. A shotgun would only work on these creatures when the hearing aid frequency was working, it looked like this messed with their hearing and slowed them down. Normally they moved too rapidly to even get an aim on them.
4) Can’t answer this one! The parents obviously haven’t read any David Paulides Missing411 books.
5) It was obvious,the creatures were thinking hybrids, mechanical with exceptional speed but that huge ear in their upper torso that moved like an old woofer speaker was human in origin. These creatures were designed to wipe out mammals. They came from the sky in an invasion made from superior technology.
6) You could barely follow these creatures with the human eye, not alone get a bullseye on one.
7) The operating survival strategy here was to NOT draw attention to your family nest or den. You may want to ytube “shark frenzy”.
8) See answer #7
9) It is difficult to build your doomsday bunker while trying to be silent. They were tackling one problem at a time and making sure the baby would stay alive was their priority for the moment.
10) She was just still a little girl who couldn’t hear.
11) The father had previously gave the daughter another hearing aid that proved unsuccessful and the girl feeling guilt about her brother was not in the mood to try anymore. The father didn’t want her to see his work on the aids or the cameras he used to watch for the safety of his family. He wanted the kids to live as normal as possible and be empowered.
Juror 8, I couldn’t agree more. Even the bad guy was a let down, not to mention the ending. The Argentina film is true artistry.
Shhhh!
I agree with you completely. Margot Robbie WAS Tonya Harding. I remember when all this happened so well, the publicity was intense and the public really did condemn Tonya and her family. So did I. What I never expected was to like Margot’s performance or to even feel empathy for Tonya which I started to, after watching this film.
The most amazing thing about Margot’s craft and performance was that about five minutes into the film I forgot the REAL Tonya (which isn’t an easy task), she evaporated into the past because Margot actually became Tonya Harding, as strange as that sounds.
You are right. The dog could only have come into the house through the external locked door by using the key which was around the father's neck. Didn't the father hang it above his bed at night on a nail? Or did the father keep it around his neck? Could anyone have gotten that key (Travis?) to open the external door to bring the ill dog into the locked but outer chamber area of the house? Such a hard movie to understand. Anyone have a good take on the shooters on the dirt road?
I like this creative take on the dog getting inside the house. I thought there were evil things outside in the woods also especially when Travis drew the three alien looking beings hiding in the woods, I thought that this was telling for some reason. Or maybe he was drawing what would become of his family in the future. Either way I did enjoy the movie.
This makes the most sense but still is far fetched in my opinion. But then again Travis was having congoing strange dream/nightmares.
