Ok, Fair enough warning I'm giving away portions of The Others.

That was a surprise ending? Frankly I knew for certain the mother was a ghost when the priest woudln't come over. Some more astute filmgoers might have seen it coming early.

Which in a way it ruins it for me. Liked the film. Atmosphere was good. Even like the slow English Cinemea pace of it all. But that ending...Hmmm.

Perhpas it wasn't supposed to be a suprise ending? In A Christmas Carol the reader isn't really surprised that Scrooge is the dead guy in Christams Yet to Come. The real deal is watching how Scroom tries to dupe himself into believing it's not him.

And maybe this is the point of the Others. Taht the mother is so convinced that she's right and proper she can't even concieve that she and her children are dead.

Maybe.

Well, what freaked me out was at the end when they replaced Marget Thatcher's head with that of Dr. Zeus.

And did the old ghosts and sort of old ghosts see the same furniture?

I was under the impression that the old ghosts and sort of old ghosts actualy lived in the same time frame. That's why the older ghosts sort of looked after the mother.

I'm guessing that anyway.

Yeah, that's how I took it.. do you think Nicole was recently dead when the movie started?

..now that I've seen the Sixth Sense, I almost always assume half the people in any new movie are dead from the git go.
