had a bad car accident a few years ago and after i saw my i car at the collision center i couldnt decide if it was possible to survive that crash... everyone said how lucky i was. i totally felt like the character in the movie for the past few years, what a mind fuck!
@MrMushroom123 Alright, you're entitled to your own opinion. If that is what you believe, fine. But I don't. I believe that my memories will stay part of myself forever.
One of the most creepy horror movies i've ever seen. If you like underground D&B then check out Panacea's audio interpretation of the movie, 'Panacea - Jacobs Ladder'. Bad ass tunes inspired by a bad ass film.
I walked into my chiropractor looking this way for several years sometimes with bad schizo nights, and with unkle's music to keep me relaxed..blew my mind when i saw this guy in this actual scene, and he's a chiro. Its portrayed beautifully...esp how you feel when you walk out of a chiro, and worrying and nerve centers etc...and most chiros arent that different to this guy, he's just more connected/hooked up with peace.
the only thing that burns in hell, is the part of you that wont let go of your life, your memories, your attachments you burn them all away but their not punishing you he said their freeing your soul, so the way he sees it if your frightened of dying and your holding on you see devils tearing your life away but if you made your peace then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth......words of an angel
No, it's more of a psychological/suspense-thriller type, along the same lines of "The 6th Sense" and "Identity". It's not exactly scary as much as it is mentally-disturbing. Still, it's a great movie.
It's an interesting view on Hell, but to me, what burns in Hell is your entire soul, of ocurse, depending on how you lived in life. I mean, it's Limbo where part of you doesn't want to let go yet.
Poor Jacob the US Government gave him and his unit in VIET F UCKING NAM THE LADDER TO MAKE SURE THEY WOULD FIGHT THE ENEMY. HOWEVER, THEY ENDED UP KILLING EACH OTHER. YEARS LATER , JACOB BEGINS SEEING ALL THIS CRAZY S HIT BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS HE GOT. I TELL YOU THE LADDER IS WORST THAN AGENT ORANGE..
This is probably the best part of the movie, the high point in the movie: Jacob's doctor reciting this line. Beautiful! When I first heard Louis recite the poem, I nearly broke down crying
I really dont get this......please someone explain it to me.
We cant have attachments because we will end up being holding nervously our life.
But what about love? Are parents, grandparents, wife/husband our children. They are our attachments and we love them so much that we will always love them as strong as we can even when were dying. So whats heaven?
@Polandball I think it means(I think) so I could be way off, that we need to learn to let go of our attachments, if not we can not be free from them, its not saying we shouldnt have, we all do but when we hold and pine its painful,
Jacob is told continuosly that he is dead but he cannot let go off his attachments
@Polandball When he does however it looks like him and his son go to Heaven, perhaps a state of pure understanding and acceptance. If we forever fear death as the end then we will attach to the earth and find only pain but if we let go and accept that we must transcend sometime then our spirits our freed into what ever it is waiting for us. I love to think there is a spiritual home out there, the thing we cant quite comprehend but feel and seek for.
@Polandball I find this to be one of the most beautiful and profound scenes of anything I've ever seen, and one of the many things that makes Jacob's Ladder one of if not my favorite movie. For the past two years, I have been having intense spiritual/near-death experiences where I became aware that this physical world is not the true reality but an illusion. That I am part of something infinite, but for whatever reason, compartmentalized here.
damn i rly like this quote, "If your frightened of dying, and your holding on. You'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels,... Freeing you from the earth."
@LeseMaxwell ... great track by Jon the Dentist, he used this part as a sample for the track indeed, i still remember him playing his track at DanceValley festival (Holland) august '96.
haha it's a little suggestive because the name of the record, "Let's talk about feelings" and "Love Story", "May 16th" (you and her lothing this cruel world)...Leave the light on...it's kind of existencial also the record but i think this is the only similarity with this dialog...
does anyone else feel like everything just kind of died around may of this year? like theres no feeling in anything? not for music, food, people, or even life???
This quote is also used in the Solitary Experiments song "Counterpart" look it up! It's very similar in style to VNV Nation's stuff. The song is very beautiful, although it has no lyrics, just bits of the movie quotes.
This was excerpted in Thom York and Unkle's "A Rabbit in Your Headlights". Scatterbrain (As Dead as Leaves) by Radiohead was also probably influenced by it.
@Colegade When I was watching this movie I also recognized that Apoptygma Berzerk's had used samples from it in their song "Bitch" - the "Mayday! Mayday!" voice in the beginning, and the hospital worker screaming "Hey! Come back here!"
Love this part in the song Forsaken by VnV Nation..
