    Just saw this and this was pretty much my interpretation as well with a slight difference. I wouldn't say that Magda is "the bad guy/villain." She's just an ancient goddess (somehow tied to the land) meting out retribution for men's sins. Great flick. Great review. You have a new subscriber.

      I, too, thought Magda to be an ancient Goddess, especially with the ending. The divine retribution given to the woman Tomas raped(gas station worker) who is reunited w her daughter from her previous marriage that we saw from the beginning if the movies he was trying to get to all along. And, if you put on subtitles, at the end the lyrics call God of joy, trees, leaves, etc.

    Coming from a military background myself what Tomas was doing by digging wasn't a random act that lead to the discovery of the Amulet. He was digging a place to go to the bathroom so he could cover it later in order to not attract flies and disease.

  • @themiskatonicsociety2087

    The films idol or amulet is a generic placeholder for a pre-Christian piece of Neolithic Art. Imelda is the handler of a pagan deity of sorts, a human intermediary. The film plays with the idea of who’s the villain and thematically circles back around to atonement. The amulet calls to him in the beginning because it sees his intentions it knows what tempts him. A symbolic sign of the silence of women often subject to a vicious cycle of never-ending violence perpetrated by men. The amulet never made him evil. He never faced the possibility of absolution as he never accepted what happened. His reckoning was always on the horizon.

    My husband and I literally just finished watching Amulet...
    It is the first movie I've ever finished and then directly looked up afterwards with no in-between time.
    It definitely holds one's attention, although there is a good bit of it that we found confusing due to the movie jumping from flashbacks/dreamlike sequences etc, all of which without any real explanations.
    To anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It's certainly worth watching, although I'm not sure I'd watch again.

    No. The main character guy, raped the woman that he kept having flash backs of. He didnt kill her, hence why shes alive and shown at the end of the movie but what he did to her in the forest that made him feel so guilty, he raped her. The man in the attack disguised as the girls mom was also a bad man who did bad things to a woman. At the end, the girl whos true form is that amulets creature thing, give the amulet to the other girl who the guy raped at the end. She is a goddess that protects women and gets revenge for them. Lures bad men in and has them possessed so they suffer. Im guessing the reason they give birth to those things is because most of them are rapists so now they know the pain of being sexually assulted and being forced to give birth to something they did not ask for, by shoving those demons out of their penises. And the old “nun” is the goddess helper. She helps her lure the bad men in. They are not the bad guys. The men who are rapists are.

    I believe he was being fed the dead bat creatures from his first meeting with Magda. The nun says you have eaten well now it is time to pay when he is birthing his first one. Also, remember the intensity shown by them when he takes his first bite of her "cooking". Also, we see her buying vegetables from the market but no meat.

    I think he was given a choice everytime after he got the amulet as a good luck. He then uses all of that good luck without repenting and thus choosing to be selfish by killing the old woman in the attic. Enraged the goddess of the charm curses Thomaz and gives the amulet to the person who deserves it who is the one who was raped by Thomaz. Magda is the goddess who has taken the human form to set things right. And it's her own wrath that takes the form of this demon who punishes Thomaz.

    I love how Magda tells Miriam “Never forget” when she gives her the amulet... I saw that as a “forgive but don’t forget” metaphor... showing how Magda/Miriam may have forgiven Thomaz for what he has done, yet he has “never forgotten” or hasn’t admitted to it/asked for forgiveness.... and he’s turned into C.G. Jr. for it lol...
    Or it could just mean that Magda knows and she’s tryna let her know that she avenged her, but for some reason I think there is a “Forgive but never forget” metaphor tied to that scene, I just can’t put it into words.

      Noce interpretation! The part that gets me is when the line “You will make a wonderful mother” gets thrown at Thomas as he gives birth to one of the demons. This is somewhat like punishing him for his evil towards Miriam who gave birth to a child that resulted from the events that unfolded.

      If the roles were reversed and it was a situation where evil women were being punished by a male demon and a man pretending to be a priest, would you still feel that the men in that situation were good?

    The way I thought about the amulet scaring tomas was the warning about the future evil ahead of him. In the film the lady in the woods was telling tomas that it was for warning about evil so it just made sense in that way to me. I also think that the amulet was always meant for her not tomas because she was the victim. I could be completely wrong this movie was a doozy.

    @seanahmed9079 Před 3 lety +4

    so from watching the movie, I thought Imelda Staunton is like an order of guardians tasked with entrapping the evil in a way that it cannot harm anyone else. So she finds these demon incarnates, beckons them into the house and entraps them so their evil is contained. So I'm not sure how she is evil. She takes a certain perverse pleasure in carrying out her role, but I assumed she is not evil, but rather a necessary evil! But the review totally contradicts my original idea, so...... not sure.

  • @jefflindgren1862
    @jefflindgren1862 Před 3 lety +4

    Your opinions are spot on; I read an interview from the Director of the film. Thomas is made a slave to atone for the rape and give birth to pure evil over and over. I have another layer ( however minor ). Notice how food is portrayed in the film. Thomas is served food from Magda and he smells it, acts cautious as if it could be poison. Magda tosses the frozen food to him at the end. Watch again, and just notice the organic nature of cinematography and the sights and sounds of food portrayed. I'm not sure what it means, but it creates some interesting ideas.

      This movie explores a lot of themes. Male dominance, womanhood, powerlessness, sin, and vice vs. virtue. The amulet along with the symbolism of the shell I think represent sexual love, beauty and womanhood. Aphrodite is often seen with shells as she arose from sea foam which sprang from Uranus’ genitals. Tomas seemed to struggle with ruminating thoughts surrounding sexual abuse on woman. The amulet itself is just a symbol, the real catalyst for the things that played out was his act of evil and sin; gluttony, greed, fornication, and of course rape being the major one - which resulted in the victim, a woman, earning vengeance thru the supernatural world. The irony is the pleasure he gained in his sin has very literally turned into torture in that biting bats crawl out his manhood.

    I wondered if the meals he was eating was human or some sort of taboo meat because of the focus on him eating when she cooks for him.
    He was also very reluctant to eat the meal first presented to him until the num convinced him to eat. He obviously didn't recognise what meat that was. And the Goddess only reply was that "it's meat".
    But then I saw her buy fish at the market and wondered is she really preparing acceptable meats.
    My conclusion is Tomaz was being fed bats the whole time. Sweet tasting gruesome looking bats.

  • @am33111
    @am33111 Před 3 lety +2

    Your take is interesting and I agree with much of it. A couple things don't seem to match up, though. Towards the end, Thomas is told to choose his companion and when he chooses Magda, the "nun" says she (Magda) has done her time. But then it doesn't make sense that Magda is inside the shell. Confusing.
    Also, yes, Thomas committed a truly evil act. But to call him pure evil seems a bit much because he was obviously tortured by it. Someone pure evil would probably not even think about it or, if they did, would not be bothered by it. But, like you said, maybe because he didn't actually verbally repent.
    All in all, for me, an interesting but confusing movie with the makings of what could have been a really good fright flick.

    I don’t think Magda is evil. I think she serves the goddess or whatever that white thing at the end was.. the nun later says that evil has to be contained.. the bad guy Thomas..has to pay for his sin and is guided to her and she contains him. I think she serves the goddess and bewitches the bad guy (evil) so she keep him from hurting others and makes sure he takes the steps to make sure he gets possessed. Just my opinion.. almost like justice in a warped sort of way. At the end she tells the woman to never forget.. meaning..don’t forget and she also leaves the amulet saying that she gave her a perverse justice. My opinion

I know a lot of people didn't like it for whatever reason, but I love it! I'll give an honorable mention to 'Sanctum' even though it's not a horror...but it is truly the most horrifying movie I've ever watched...absolutely suffocating.

    Okay! Woah woah woah! We had completely different ideas about this movie. I believe that Magda was a slave who was taken advantage by her father and her father was the demon that was actually living in the attic. She uses Tomas, who has been abusive towards another woman, just like what Magda went through and uses him to kill her demon Father. To me the amulet is grief, but also a sign of hope and she gives it to the woman Tomas hurt to help give her strength to move on.

    Say purgatory may extend to the end of time itself until the final judgment. The bat babies is the very sins that exist within Tomas that is being extracted from within him and how many exist could be a thousand. A legion

    Well, didn’t you think that the house could be the man’s personal hell, the Amulet (young woman) could be some kind of a supernatural creature what could be seen when she’s saying to the man to leave standing between him and “the mother”, and this feministic horror is about men’s ring of hell, of those who hurt women and now they had to live and feel the pain a woman feels when she’s pregnant and going to give birth? And this supernatural creature is neutral as angel or Justice or smth like this, giving it’s victim a chance to change himself, but the old woman is evil like demon or some other dark spirit leading the bad guy/victim to the court. The movie is nasty, actually. Just finished watching 20 minute ago it and wanna go to bathroom and wash this dirt away.

    I don't think it's a 'good guy/bad guy' type situation. However, I do think there is a definite female subplot going on here. When you were talking about the shell symbology, I remembered the painting of The Birth of Venus, where Venus arrives on the scallop shell. I did a bit of research and discovered that: "since ancient Greece the shell has been a symbol for female genitals, and it brings to mind the idea of ​​birth. Over time, the shell has also become one of the symbols of the Virgin Mary". This seems to explain a few things.
    Finally, I don't think Tomas gets turned into a demon. I think he gets poisoned with the food he's fed which transforms him into a birthing machine for biting and clawing bat babies as a female-inspired punishment for being a defiler of women. They just tell him he's a demon, because that's how they see him. By this point, Tomas has no idea what is going on anyway. Magda could be the Goddess of Fertility- or possibly even the apostle Mary Magdalene - taking revenge on men.
    And I don't believe there were any other people in the old woman's diary, I believe all the defilers request Magda.
