Brian shambler (11/7/02 11:22:55 pm) Reply	Interesting Question Hello all! I was just talking about The Ring with my friend today, and he brought up an interesting fact. #1. When the "woman" come out of the TV, she is a full grown woman, not a little girl. #2. What happened the Samara's real mother? She died mysteriously...this ties into #3 #3. Why do they show Samara by the well as SOON as she gets out of rehab? My conclusion: The person comming out of the TV is not Samara, but in fact her real mother, who was also thrown into the well. PLZ tell me what you think '

She killed her child. me...

Leading to her swan dive. I dunno, maybe a combo of both. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Turtle God Kame moderator (11/8/02 1:13:12 am) Reply	yeah... I mean guilt... she thought she "had" to kill her to end the evil, and dispite that, she did love her and it would have been very difficult to have done that. Go to Kame's House for assorted junk! Last upd8: 10/10/02
JustaPinoy Sadako slave (11/8/02 1:17:55 am) Reply	Re: you're a bit off Hmm.. I was led to believe that Anna killed herself the same day that she killed Samara (Same clothes...?). But, if there was a space between the time of Samara's death and Anna's swan dive, perhaps Samara still had her imprint on Anna, much like how Samara had her imprint on Rachel to terrify the horse on the ferry. And thus resulted in reoccurence of the horses drownings, and when Anna died, the remaining horses returned to normal.

The only thing I don't understand is why there were no investigations, no newspaper articles or anything of the sort which would imply that anyone looked for Samara. People knew she exsisted didn't they? Did they ever wonder where she went? Come to think of it the doctor did think she was still in the mental ward... but didn't anyone else notice the Morgan child was gone?

Anna leans over the well and looks down after she pushes Samara in ... i wonder if Samara's energy was already able to manifest itself and push itself upward (as in the way she made the first tapes?). or if she had already imprinted so much of herself on her mother that her mother was driven to suicide by continuing visions? i notice on the "newspaper stories" on the movie sites that in Anna's obituary, there's no mention of her having a child. obituaries usually mention something like "mother of" or if other relatives have died recently. that says to me that the whole community didn't really care how or why she was gone, just that she was gone. peace, mellybeanTC

"why there were no investigations" this was because the town was plagued and terrified of the girl! everything was going wrong, crops were dieing, horses going crazy, ect... but not just for the morgans, for the whole town! even one of the ladies eluded that everyone wanted her dead. that the case, I'm sure they wouldnt investigate further...

Personally, I still credit that to Verbinski's use of camera angles, to not make Samara look dwarfed by Noah. Plus, Daveigh Chase (whom the press has said had to don the Rob Zombie makeup for the scene) isn't as tiny as she seems...the photos in the premiere have her practically twice as tall as David Dorfman, who played Aidan. *Quote:* #2. What happened the Samara's real mother? She died mysteriously...this ties into #3 She kills herself, as we see in the video. Some of our posters believe that she kept being tormented by Samara, and I can see how that's plausible, but having her kill herself out of guilt makes a little bit more sense to me. *Quote:* #3. Why do they show Samara by the well as SOON as she gets out of rehab? The way the calendar works out (based on the documents we see in the official website), Samara was in the hospital for several months, then was checked out by Richard. Months later, when the horses began dying and Anna was going insane, both she and Samara were taken to the hospital. A few weeks later, both of them were discharged, and soon after that (perhaps just a matter of days), Samara is thrown in the well and Anna kills herself.

And, like the doctor, they may well have assumed that the Morgans took her back to Eola and left her there.
