Analyze
This
Okay, I just saw The Ring remake for the second time a couple of
days ago. This movie had me intrigued from the teaser trailers on
TV. And it did deliver to my fullest wishes, finally, something
TRUELY scarey and disturbing with gorgeous
cinematogrophy.
Now mind you, I'm not at all easily spooked,
grossed out, or bothered (Really the only scene I couldn't take at
all was the poor horse death ;_
and even though I WAS scared, I found it moreso to be
thrilling.
And I know I know, this movie has probably been
analyzed to death, but I'm throwing in my two cents.
First of
all, I think after Samara's mother died, there were no more
incidents until the kids at the cabin tried to tape the game off the
TV. This was Samara's first shot at putting herself back in the
world. I know there was a rumor of the tape, but Becca mentioned she
heard it from someone at the school Katie's boyfriend went to. And
you know juicy stories travel quick in High Schools, so it could've
been that blown up in a week.
My theory is, since Samara
could create X-rays and possibly negatives, it was quite easy for
her to project images onto the ribbon of a tape. And since reception
was always bad in that area (probably from her pure
energy/supernatural power/hatred) it was quite simple for her to do.
And you hear Katie talk about electromagnetic signals going through
our heads all the time. Yeah, you think its just teen-babble, but
think about it. Is it possible Samara, who wanted nothing but to be
heard, and obviously was enraged at her mother's well.. insolence at
trying to dispose of her, perhaps manifested in electromagnetic
signals? I mean it makes sense. Our little pyrokinetic esper
hell-spawn had nothing but a TV to stare at when up in the barn. As
Rachel stares at her own reflection in the blank screen, it kind of
gives you the idea maybe thats what Samara did, SEEING herself
inside there. Even the water, which was part of Samara oozed from or
was condensed on televisions. And when the beads rolled into an
arrow in the cabin, it was under a VCR.
Maybe I got this
theory just because the movie, for some reason, made me think some
parts a bit Lain-esque (Serial Experiments Lain is a Japanese
mini-series about people literally pitching their souls into an
invisiable reality created by the internet and deviceless software,
thus people in electromagnetic signals).
But then the voices
of ghosts/spirits have known to be recorded if left with an open mic
on a particular radio frequency.
So anyway, thats what my
theory is. Samara, mysterious in origin, born with some ungodly
power, practically a %#@!ing demon, enraged at being silenced
manifested in the various signals and electric energy running
through the air. And since these energies and signals CAN have
effects on the human mind, it can also show how those "touched" by
Samara were receiving a constant stream of disturbing
visions.
Well anyway, if you're still here thanks for reading
through.
