I LOVED THIS MOVIE, and to watson’s point about not getting the correct answers to all the philosophical questions laid out. I think it was done on purpose to show the exact thing you all were discussing. There just isn’t one way to know for sure if she was dealing with a monster or not. Is it nature, is it nurture, is it her, is it him, I think the point of he movie to say like in these scenarios is so horrifying because there is so much doubt. And I think they executed it so well with the way the ended it. Just my two cents. Love this podcast.
Dan, I like your take on the film, dude. I will consider that should I watch this again in the near future. You raise a most compelling point! I rather love the idea of that doubt you’re talking about. I’ll factor that into my next viewing of this… whenever that may be. Much love, my friend, and thanks SO MUCH for listening to the show!
