Just seen it.
Loved it, loved the plot, loved the direction, loved the acting, loved Cillian Murphy (especially naked).
Hated the digital video it was shot on.
Absolutely ruined some of the panoramic shots of London, although it was great for most of the movie, and gave it an urgency and grittiness.
Hated Hannah’s accent.
What happened?
They picked up some Irish kid when they went over to get the actors, and forgot to give her dialect lessons?
Loved the penultimate set peice in the house. The colours, lighting, editing and acting were superb.
SPOILERS…
look away now…
Spoiler ahead, look away now…
Ok, one thing I need clarified.
The other abandoned vehicles with provisions in them at the blockade, the pile of clothed bodies at the house, combined with the “go slow” comment by henry to the guy in the hat have all made me come to the following conclusion.
My conclusion was that other people had come to the house. The men had been killed, and the women “used” and then killed, as there were no other people at the house.
There were definitely women among the bodies, so it was women for amusement, rather than repopulation.
This, to me, explains Jim’s unusually brutal treatment of the soldiers. The bayoneting of “Doris”, and the eye-gouging in particular.
He knew that they were going to kill Selena & Hannah anyway, and that these were not their first rapes and murders of uninfected.
Or am I missing something?
