I won’t reveal what happens during this scene because—damn—but believe me, it changes everything for India, for everyone. But I despise one-dimensional women characters onscreen, and Evie is just that, a collection of simplistic tropes used to move the narrative forward: a bad wife, a bad mother, a bad boss (like, aren’t you even going to. In my mind, the film exists in two parts: everything that happens before the attempted rape and everything that happens after it. This goes along with our theme of maturation, becoming a woman, saddle shoes to high heels. A community for redditors to come together and share information about dipping/chewing tobacco. That I think is up to us. Feel free to handle that yourself. India kills Charlie and takes his place, takes off in his car, takes his place as the killing Stoker. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. She says several times in the film something to the effect of "you don't know me". Only five months late. Stoker addresses India’s sexual feelings early on; she clearly feels an attraction toward her uncle, and she seeks out a boy from school immediately after she catches her mother and uncle kissing. This movie is not an ‘allegory’ for parental neglect, the dangers of bullying or keeping family secrets, because they are present elements in the film. Stoker's tub expiration date code: explained (I think). For comparison, my last tub I had before the Natural (Mint) is coded A136T1, meaning January 13th 2016, and that tub was moist as fuck in comparison as well. Her uncle lurking in the shadows seemed to indicate she was beginning to channel his aggression for her own purposes. Saw Stoker. So she was suppressed in a way but not literally. But it did express what she wanted to do to the bullies. She and her uncle never truly enter into a relationship, she is simply infatuated by him because he shares her unusual tendency and carries it off smoothly. Can you explain the movie to me? I couldn't find anything online about it. So I had to figure what was going on. Seriously though, shoes and balls are really important in this movie. It was the only tub of Natural they had left, so I had no choice but to get that one if I was going to get it. Thanks for the reply. From here until the end of the film. Why does charlie give high heels to india? Remember? (I’m only half-joking here; considering one in three women lives through a sexual assault in her lifetime, and most films seek to reveal some Truth About Humanity, I’m surprised the issue of sexual assault and rape isn’t addressed more often—and accurately—onscreen. An allegory is a depiction of a real drama set out in a seemingly disconnected way. Only once you realize this do you become free.” This, contrasted with what the film reveals about Charlie’s past and India’s present—and the similarities of both—raise an important, albeit subtle point regarding mental health and the genetic predisposition of mental illness. Thank you for posting this! I don't believe the father was a bad guy unless you count emotionally alienating the mother after India was born. ©2008- 2020 Bitch Flicks. I actually found this thread while researching if anyone else has had problems with them. The spider was symbolic of Charlie. It was quite refreshing. I am almost sure her mother was as she says she was well educated but still trapped in the house. The finished product of Bram Stoker’s Dracula terrified people sitting in a theater, but imagine being a child acting in the movie.. Late in the film, Sadie Frost’s character Lucy carries a living child into her crypt likely to feast on her blood. Also with her father gone, she no longer needs to be jealous of her mother (or maybe she's matured out of her jealousy). And therein lies our problem. Question though: Why does India kill her uncle in the end? Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. (Certain things sure - but damn was that a bad thing to do!). So let's see here, this is just how I felt about these things after one viewing. Is India (Wasikowska) psychotic? This was while she was brushing her mother's hair.) (I think her father was doing this because of India quoting him while she and he were hunting "Sometimes it's okay to do something bad to keep you from doing something worse." OOOOOOHHHHH I’m SO going to watch this! I wish we got to see that less passive side of Evie earlier in the film because, the thing is. How do we know this? She could have watched the life be choked out of her mother, her total disinterest in her mothers speech "you were supposed to love me" showed that her mother is nothing to her anymore, now that the fire her father was suppressing has been "stoked". Now think back to Charlie killing the youngest brother, not wanting to be replaced by the younger. It’s the first time she utters anything longer than a few sentences at once (which are usually about the importance of polite behavior and playing the piano), but this monologue, I mean, chills. Perhaps one could say that maturation has be achieved when the young is ready to replace the old. Naturally, he decides to move in with Evie and India because why not, I’m sure everyone will be totally fine with that, nice to meet you! Seems too far out for any dip. Though the movie seemed to disappoint a lot of people, pretty much everyone, at least I have FINALLY found one person who seemed to understand more and even enjoy it more than hated it. Stabbing the bully with the pencil, for example. Mods or whoever has the power, as the title says, please consider putting this information in the FAQs concerning different brand's expiration codes. The other reason, I think being around her uncle is a catalyst for her urges and is bringing it out of her. LOVED it. I realize Evie isn’t supposed to be likeable, that we’re meant to roll our eyes at her upper-class privilege and displays of affection toward her husband’s mysterious younger brother, that maybe we’re even supposed to feel a tiny bit sorry for her. They are just my feeling about what happened, Wentworth Miller might tell you that I'm way off but to me art isn't about getting exactly what the author meant (although that's one aspect of it, more important in some stories than others), but what it means to you and that's one of the things I love most about cinema. Also the young replacing the old is pretty tied in with the idea of maturation, because it's what happens after maturation. Was India not violent? The code always seems to consist of 6 figures, in the pattern of: Letter, Number, Number, Number, T, 1. It wasn’t realistic. It seems like all you picked up from this movie was the fact that the men were violent and the women were helpless. And while I wasn’t sure about India’s character or what or who she would become, your synopsis is more than likely spot-on. All Rights Reserved. I think this happens for two reasons. (I can’t stop saying it.). His brother rejects him leading him to go through so much grief he vomits. Thanks for giving me a place to put all this down! Charlie has been giving her child's shoes each year for 17 years. So this (mother replacing the father with his younger brother or more specifically the notion that they are both, the mother and charlie working together) is a red haring from a plot standpoint but not from a thematic standpoint. ‘Stoker’: The Creepiest Coming-of-Age Tale I’ve Ever Seen, if only to avoid writing a horrible paragraph like this ever in my life, 5 Reasons You Should Be Watching "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries", Uncomfortable mother-daughter interaction, Evie (Nicole Kidman) and India (Mia Wasikowska), Saddle Shoe (girlhood!) DELICIOUS! Also, the care taker had been helping the uncle get the shoes to India. Good to know my idea was right. Also the obsession with himself that he saw with her brother, I say obsession as opposed to just love for one's father because she seemed to resent her mother, jealousy perhaps, and would separate them by going off with her father. The mother misses the father when he was young. india has antisocial and psychopathy tendency- she gets pleasure from killing that’s why his father took her hunting-to prevent something bad getting worse, he didn’t want her to become like his brother. Dip on brothers. Thank you Stephanie for your review on this movie. Um. nicole does look good in this, though i’m generally not a fan of hers.
