Patrick really sums it up at the end. “because you let me”. They go to their death like sheep, offering no resistance, knowing their daughter is in danger and has been mutilated in front of their eyes. There is no survival instinct strong enough kicking in to fight like hell for their child, it’s two against two! They are not that physically superior to them. Their submission is pure terror and impairing low self worth. They give up.
I just realised that when Patrick throws the coffee cup against the wall later in the film, it is one of the mermaid coffee cups from the start brought from Denmark. Symbolic
8:40 Also note one more thing about Patrick's "fish is not good for the enviorment" comment, it's a total 180 from the first resturant scene in the beginning of the movie where he compliments her for being vegan
I don’t think it’s a 180 at all.. at the beginning he compliments her for being vegan.. sure she says she eats fish but says vegan. At the restaurant/roadhouse she says “it’s good the environment” after saying that she eats fish..he gets back to that point and says “fishing isn’t exactly good for the environment either” to provoke her.. testing her here again.. if she stands up for herself or just leaves it there just accepting defeat.. he’s been testing them everywhere
I truly appreciate your intelligent and insightful outlook on this movie, I feel like you truly saw it and understood it. I watched it lastnight and it really stuck with me. I was disappointed that a lot of the response to it was people calling Bjorn a 'pussy' and then being mad at the ending. As a sensitive person who has struggled with setting boundaries all my life I feel this movie was really made to reassure me to not feel guilty when I follow my feelings and say no. I also really appreciated your outlook on Bjorn and Louise's relationship. They had issues between themselves before they were sadly sought out. It really stood out to me that they didn't share the horrid things they saw in the house. If I was in that situation, my partner would be the first to know and he would tell me. I think honesty strengthens a bond in a relationship and although they loved their child, they had distance within their own self actualisation and their partnership. I could talk about the movie forever. 😂 Fantastic work! ❤🎉
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment! This film resonated with me because I also struggle with boundaries. Working on this analysis helped me become more aware of my problem. Now, whenever I have to set up boundaries (which still feels like work and it's painful, even when it comes to the smallest things), I think back on this film and say to myself "you don't wanna end up like Luisa and Bjorn, do you?":) It's silly but helpful :)
A small thing most people miss in the film is that Abel doesn't speak English, Danish, Dutch or even Italian. That is on purpose so the current child have no real way of communicating with anyone. Agnes never speak English in the movie and in the end she is much like Abel unable to communicate with anyone.
My interpretation of events, just loosely; this couple have been doing this to other families for, what? Over 20 years? Based on the number of photos on the walls in the weird attic room. So maybe they actually have a formulaic routine that they follow? (Makes sense?). E.g., Patrick deliberately goes into the shower room to make the woman so uncomfortable that she initiates intimacy with her husband, and the child on the not-comfortable floor-bed then calls out and has to be taken into Patrick & Karin's room. That is a test as to whether they leave or not. I even think that Patrick deliberately hides the stuffed toy under the car seat in the other family's car so they have to possibly go back. It is all a series of tests to them. Urinating outside with the keys still in the ignition. Leaving the door open to the weird cabin with the photo attic. I dunno - what do you think??
I think they find families that already have some problems in their marriage, they somehow sense their weakness and then they test their boundaries over and over. Maybe they get their perverted pleasure from watching their victims miss their opportunities to escape and defend themselves. Btw, here's part 1 of my analysis, in case you missed it ruclips.net/video/_ZOC6gxSzQQ/видео.html
It looks like they’re just stealing the assets and properties of their victims, as in the final scene they’re on their way to another couples location they’ve manipulated with Agnes, as opposed to Bjorne and his family going to their location. I would guess it goes back and forth in a very twisted game. Also what interested me was that road house restaurant was completely empty like a contrived setting for them to continue the act. Perhaps more people are involved in the scheme like the babysitter and the waiter
@@filmsandmovieschannel The Stranger's, it's a true story, I'd love to hear your take on it, also the 2024 remake of Speak No Evil, it was soooo good! 💯🙏🏾😊
What bugged me the most is that they called Patrick & Karin when they had the car accident at the end 🫠 instead of calling the police or something like that. (If I remember it correctly... I think in the car Louise said something like "thanks for coming to get us" towards Karin)
I absolutely love you!!! Did you say TRAMP as in bum? How delightful you make everything sound! Where are you from? Love your analysis of this film and look forward to hearing your take on the James McAvoy remake!

If you can feed a vegetarian (pescatarian) meet, what cant you do? Nothing. They already knew Byorjn was the weak one, if they can get the vege to eat meat they've got them both.
@@Nursegirlalexandra the link I sent you is for the first part of the movie, this video you're commenting on is part 2. I only briefly talk about the ending. I focus more on what led the characters to this ending.
I think they basically steal everything from each family. They have the suitcases lined up. They obviously go searching for victims to a place where a well-off up middle class families take vacation

@@filmsandmovieschannel thats explain why Patrick choose his victims in a resort who offer cooking class & singer performance with glass of wine in hand . probably expensive vacation only for the rich
Just watched the movie.. it was very frustrating to watch two super-docile and low IQ humans just give in to the serial killers’ deeds.. great analysis tho.. attention to every tiny detail. Would love to talk to you about these kinds of movies (I’m no Patrick lmao). You should totally create a letterboxd or something tbh recommending all the psychological movies like this.
@@John-ei1uhthey dont do anything to avoid their fate... though they have several opportunities.... the end of the movie is quite stupid anyway.... cliche run out of fuel... cliche leave the street and drive into a forest....cliche leave the car and find a house which is abandoned...be unable to find help...and so on.... yeah and that was the plan of the killers? To wait exactly where their victims drive to? And in the final scenes you get naked and stoned still without doing anything....
@@SuperMario0972 they live in the middle of nowhere and easily could’ve fcked with their fuel to which their car wouldnt of got far.

This movie is more of a character study than a straight horror movie. I appreciate your analysis.

before Bjorn finds Abel died in the pool, he discovered a room outside the house that full of briefcase-camera etc. is that belongs to the victims ?
Excellent interpretation. You are so articulate.
Your character analysis is amazing. i am a fan.
Hey guys, do you have any film recommendations for my future videos?
How about For Lovers Only? Or perhaps Revolutionary Road? Or Amedeus? or The Talented Mr. Ripley... pick a card any card
btw I meant Only Lovers Left Alive not For Lovers Only.
