Repulsion final scene

[phmshinan]

ehm guys, the girl was not even 14, was younger at the age of 13 according to many sources available.

and yet, this has nothing to do with this movie's ending scene. whatever, great thrilling movie.

[Steeveriffic]

Thanks for posting this. It's almost exactly where my DVD started skipping.

[fntime]

@pariskissz The 'rent guy' never raped her. The walls cracking in two never occured

in reality. The hands reaching out of the wall, touching her body, were not

'real' hands. She is mentally ill and is seeing delusions. The rape is a delusion!

She murders the rent guy who was trying to seduce her, he never raped her.

She is losing her mind. She has no 'reality anchor' because she has been

left alone by her sister in the apartment.

Nobody is attacking you. Stop being paranoid!

[fntime]

@pariskissz You sound like you have 'issues'. Men never thought they were entitled

to sex at that time and certainly not rape.

She was never raped in the film, it was her delusions, fears and secret desires.

This movie is about someone losing their mind, showing her inner turmoil

and her lost contact with reality.

[clintbronson5]

SPOILER! So am I to assume from the ending that she is staring hard at her father?!? And the reason she is looking at him that way is because he molested her? Hence her fear of men?

[conewells]

What a scary film. If only the makers of all those dreadful "horror" slasher/zombie/vampire movies these days watched this, they could maybe learn something.

[AnnaBarton10]

@pariskissz No she has that fear of men. All the synopsis say that, but you're right about the part of all the men just kept pushing

[alex7171]

sunlight -- 14 is hardly a woman. 14 years olds are still children mentally and emotionally. If it hadn't really been anything, Polanski would've paid her off, and been able to come back to the U.S. legally, long ago. Polaski is a sick f**k, whatever you think of his films.

[guzmanbatista67]

Brillant!

[goyasunlight]

The Irony of this film is that the Director: Roman Polanski was a child raping bastard himself.

[OrsonMyles]

@goyasunlight be quiet mate. She was 14 and that's not a child. You know how 14 year old girls walk around. She just hyped that shit up for the money.

[KellyGreen5555]

@OrsonMyles True, Polanski is a great director. However, you must concede that drugging, raping, and sodomizing a child...yes, 14 yrs old is still a child...also marks and blackens Polanski as a sexual predator who got away with a crime due to his fame.

Let's call it what it is, "mate."

[OrsonMyles]

@KellyGreen5555 mate, you were there, right? you saw him drugging here and raping her... she wanted money.. that's all. Sorry to say but in my opinion it wasn't rape, it was sex. and I'm not even trying to say sex with a 14 year old is good, it's frigging disgusting, but I think calling him a child rapist and similar is just over the top. 

[KellyGreen5555]

@OrsonMyles So according to you, one has to literally witness a crime for a crime to have actually occurred? With all due respect, you are off your fucking trolley.

BTW, you write in an earlier post, that "14 is not a child." Yeah, the 14 yr old was after Polanski for his money. Your entire argument is deranged.

[BennieAA]

superb end scene. i never got it the first time around but having to think and work things like that out are what makes a great film. like most people have said this is about psychology and great acting and direction rather than splatters of blood and gore. to me a great horror is something that plays on your mind rather than something that tries to shock you with a gory death scene

[fedecure]

catherine deneuve i love you!!!!!!

[lovesababe]

why does she look like that in the picture? wtf

[AnnaBarton10]

@lovesababe This woman was obviously raped/ molested as a child and she's looking, I believe, at her father because he's the one who did it to her and this caused her androphobia (fear of men)

[lovesababe]

@AnnaBarton10 oh thanks for clearing that up..wow this movie is haunting.

[clintbronson5]

@AnnaBarton10 Thank you! You answered my question. And that being true what a masterpiece REPULSION is. One of the best endings to a horror film I have ever seen. Along with THE SHINING-INVASION of the BODY SNATCHERS (78)-HALLOWEEN-THE WICKERMAN(73)-T.T.C.M.(74)-N.O­.T.L.D.(68)-PSYCHO and of course THE OMEN(76) love little Damien's smile at the end

You can get the audio-mp3 of this video at grabaudionow doht cohm.

[ashtraygirl420420]

one of my favourite scenes in the history of film

[truthasfineprint]

wow, that's a terrifying picture

[9876543217303]

I watched this edited version in total horror. Psychological thrillers or slashers or whatever this genre is, has me spellbound. This is brilliance no doubt.

[alexdrumsmagno]

romand polansky us rhe beat

[matheusmarchetti]

A Classic. One of the finest horrors ever made, and doesn´t rely on gore and cheap scares to create a genuinely claustrophobic, frightening atmosphere.

[mikkifly]

didnt her mum and dad think that she looked freaky in the photoi would of had a word.

[radovest]

@_@ dizzy...

[solcab75]

Comparison to The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.

[hmpfdroop]

Great film, great Polanski. That's all !

[independentview1]

Dear Mr: Polanski During your stay in prison for drugging and raping a child I hope you have fun learning over and over again what it's like getting raped. Justice

[jjdd8181]

you mean that look at the end?... not scary, the girl was just pissed someone stole her lollipop

[SatineCharm]

More horrifying than those gore horror films. it's all in the acting and psychology of the mind.

Very disturbing if you are the faint of heart.

[christentze]

so true. i actually shuddered when i got to the end and saw her in the photo. i mean, hostel and saw can do these sadistic things that freak people the fk out but this just drilled a hole in me and planted fear deep inside my head.

[febirizki]

what is the main idea of the movie??

[Sacredtexter]

Superior to Rosemary's Baby

[Wolfen443]

@Sacredtexter, Rosemary's Baby is different kind of film for it approaches the horror from the outside. Repulsion does it from inside her troubled mind, kind of like Black Swam. But, I like all three for being above anything or few films done since then.

[zackhanscom]

@Sacredtexter that's because you dislike the religious element, transparent film school dropout

[karinabucci]

The real Polanski,repulsion,knife on the water,cul de sac,not other

[LeHuyAnh]

Don't forget his "The Tragedy of MacBeth".

[karinabucci]

Macbeth was a penthouse's commercial operation.Ok, has Polansky's hands, but I can't considered like yours.

[brushstrokesrock]

Catherine's acting in this film is great! :-D

[mihail2000]

wtf your talking about made you fell insane???????????

[christentze]

didn't the look scare you like heck?

[bertdockx]

one of the very best, and beatifully, beautifully shot. and the sound design... god, such brilliance!! much better than rosemary's baby, if you ask me. (but then, nobody did, did they?)

[JPandCo]

It's the only part of my favorite film that I didn't understand... is she.... dead?

[brushstrokesrock]

No. She's not dead. She was taken to a mental hospital.

[cultmama]

No, she is not dead, she is catatonic.

[Babyhowdy233]

@cultmama

And is no doubt suffering from malnutrition and lack of sleep for the past 10 days.

[Kotlettbengt]

This movie made me feel insane... it made The Exorcist resemble a Disney movie!

[ElizabethTalbot]

I had read about the ending before I saw the film. That made no difference--it still terrified me.

[christentze]

it really is terrifying, isn't it. damn. that look.

[ElizabethTalbot]

Exactly. That look.

The whole movie is really about that look. I'm getting goosebumps just writing about it.
