I read it as the monsters aren't real, but represent the conflicts and grudges between the women.titania86https://www.blogger.com/profile/05006085054045307591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231662012909029852.post-12639732405414421492014-08-25T22:39:49.605-07:002014-08-25T22:39:49.605-07:00I don't know what I would've done if I was...I don't know what I would've done if I was in Sarah's situation. I'm against revenge but man, Juno wasn't giving her reasons to want her to survive. To find out in the middle of all that chaos that Juno had been having sex with her husband, to hear Juno say that she "wasn't the only one to lose something" knowing she was talking about how she lost her lover who was Sarah's husband and saying that knowing Sarah also lost her only child and both husband and child died within inches of her, hearing from one of her dying friends that Juno was the one that harmed her, and knowing that Juno was the one that led them into that horror cave. I actually do like Juno as a character but if I was Sarah I would hate Juno with a fiery passion. <br /><br />Since you are a feminist blog, what was your opinion on the perceived metaphors in the movie? That the cave represented the womb and the creatures were unwanted fetuses killing the empowered women one by one and the only survivor was the mother that had a child taken from her.

But I had to comment on that first part. What kind of friends are these if they can't be bothered to every so often check in on their friend who lost her whole family???<br /><br /><br />Smiles!<br />LoriLoriStronginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764202539292045963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231662012909029852.post-19028152622903343172012-02-03T19:18:13.600-08:002012-02-03T19:18:13.600-08:00ah, Titania - you picked a GREAT one!!
I love the ...ah, Titania - you picked a GREAT one!!<br />I love the Descent and have re-watched it a few times, wonderful story line, directing, spec effects plus those gals' acting was spot on. <br /><br />Unfortunately, movies like the Descent only serve to reinforce my claustrophobia/fear of spelunking :O<br /><br />Brrr, remember the scene when that one girl became stuck ... it made me want to run outside and take deep, non-cave breaths hahaha<br /><br />And you're right, it was amazing to see Sarah's metamorphis. Have you seen the Descent 2?? It was pretty decent, but not as epic as the first movie imo :)M.A.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14924439808069320143noreply@blogger.com
