    I gotta say, Sherriff Bracket is probably the most sympathetic character in the films. Dourif's acting always on point. But I like in the sequel, he seems like another father to Laurie. He genuinely cared about what happened to her & resents Loomis revealing her secrets & continuing to traumatize her just to make money. Even after his own daughter is murdered, he goes after Michael (surely to avenge Annie) but also to save Laurie. But Laurie is gunned down, which basically causes him to lose 2 daughters in 1 night.

  • @AustinNGrayson
    @AustinNGrayson Před 2 lety +239

    I have PTSD from trauma throughout my life and all I have to say is this, Laurie was super shitty to Annie at the dinner table even with the excuse of PTSD. They both went through almost the exact same experience and one of them came out with PTSD. That’s how it works. People’s minds process things differently and even the most minuscule details of an experience can change the effect it has on the other person. What happened that night was arguably worse for Annie, and it’s more than physically visible on Annie’s face. Permanent gashes/scars representing what happened to her that night. She tried to say something nice, supportive, and encouraging and Laurie went off on her. Even if someone said something to me that wasn’t helping but they were truly trying AND they went through such a similar experience to the one I went through I would just be thankful. Laurie can just look at Annie’s face to see what she has to live with everyday. Their trauma was literally intertwined and Laurie still couldn’t see that. Also in the Director’s Cut she’s just shitty to her all the time anyway. Laurie just kind of sucks in the Director’s Cut.

      I agree! It made me hate Laurie in this movie. I felt so bad for Annie throughout the entire thing cause she was dealing with the exact same thing (up until Laurie finds out she is Michael’s sister). They handled it differently and both ways are realistic, sadly. People process trauma in so many different ways. It doesn’t make it right how Laurie treated Annie though. She only began to care about her well-being once she realized she could be hurt while Annie showed her compassion for Laurie from the beginning. 😩

    I don't really like that Directors Cut ending. I don't like Michael talking, I don't like Michael without the mask, and I don't like him dying to a bunch of cops as opposed to the hands of Laurie. I think pairing the mental trouble of the directors cut with the psychotic killing ending of the theatrical cut for Laurie would have been more impactful, plus it makes the last asylum scene make a bit more sense.

    • @owen______

    Rob Zombie's a strange director. For every stupid, poor-taste, highly-questionable bad decision he makes in his movies (naked dead girls, overly profane dialogue, unlikable over the top characters), he also does something really cool and interesting (that sound cutout in the Director's Cut climax here, the absolute size of Mikey Myers, the exploration of a Final Girl's ptsd). Every time he starts to lose me in his earlier films, he does something that pulls me back in. I guess that's why I can't bring myself to dislike him as a director: love it or hate it, he knows exactly what he wants to put on the screen and exactly how to put it there.

    • @youtube-kit9450

      But the thing is the good stuff he does is so small compared to the bad stuff. Tha cutout during the climax is cool and his Michael Myers is a beast, yes, but that doesn't even balance out with the bad stuff.
      Also, his fascination with sexual violence is so off putting to me. I dont know. He makes his films for himself and his fans, but that kind of seems to blind him almost.

    I don’t necessarily like the parts where he shows his face, but I do like the angry grunting noises he makes because to me it makes it more scary. Because it shows just how pissed off and insane that he is and he’s pretty much just giving off “I am going to fucking brutally kill you and there’s nothing you can do about it” energy. The silent but deadly Myers might be more scarier for some people, but for me it’s a lot scarier when he shows his anger.

    When the sheriff is going ape shit over his daughter's death, it is not bad acting or over the top acting or not acting enough. If someone was to walk into a room painted with their child's blood and her dead on the floor after you know what she went through and survived all the while she came out of that almost the same mentally only to be tortured again to be reminded of what happened to her before only to die this time would be rough, who knows how a person would react to that.

      That's actually oddly appropriate for Michael. It's like he felt that Loomis was the only person who had earned the honour of hearing his voice since Loomis had looked after him for all those years. I think it was Michael's sick way of saying "thanks for watching over me, dude. See you in hell."

    YO JAMES, I've been watching your vids for a while and its taken me forever to pinpoint what I really like about your style! I learned in one of my public speaking classes that when making a presentation you have to do 3 things: Tell them what you're going to tell them, Tell them, then tell them what you told them. You follow this formula to a T and I think it makes your videos really stick with the viewer! So keep up the great work man, I'm glad you were able to stick it through all these Halloween movies, even the not so great ones lol

  • @Toshimoko29

    This movie catches a lot of hate but I love it. The idea that Laurie has a psychic link with Michael really added to her going crazy by the end. Her reacting to him eating the dog while she’s eating pizza creeps me out, and it makes so much sense that she sees his visions and becomes plagued by them. I had never considered that she is dead at the end, and although I really like that scene of her in the mask and the subsequent cut to her in the sanitarium, I much prefer she lives in my head canon.

      But rob zombie tries to take this realistic brutal approach to the series and then decides to add a psychic link to the mix? How is that realistic? How does that make sense?
      It's just weird and confusing. If the point is that trauma (external factors) drives people insane, then he did a terrible job conveying such.
      I think this movie deserves the hate it gets, honestly. Ive watched it so many times, especally after the recent ones came out and i find more issues every time.
      It's the worst installment imo. The kills aren't even that interesting. Annie's death is the only kill that made me feel something.

      The only thing I disagree with is the second rule. We saw a glimpse of Michael's face in the original, when he was portrayed by a different actor. Given that, I would technically count that as having his face shown, even if it was in shadows. I'm sure with enough editing, you could brighten the scene enough to make it out clearly. If you have the right circumstance, I'm sure it could be just as scary or creepy. Admittedly, it works better WITH the mask and not without, but yeah.

    Is it me, or does the director's cut stuff with Laurie fit the theatrical ending much more? Foreshadowing her being like Michael is kind of pointless when she never ends up becoming like Michael at all and then gets gunned down. It would be one thing if the final vision implied that she survived and is now driven to kill by her mother and the white horse, but I think Rob Zombie confirmed that she died and even did that ending just so that this series would no longer continue. It's an unnecessarily confusing final note that works better with the theatrical cut's prelude of her walking out in the Myers mask.
