Internet_hero Brave That moment when you have to explain a movie to your followers, however, you realise that there are at least 4,132 dumb people. Welcome to the age of RUclips, Instagram, Internet Pranksters, and where reading a book and having an imagination has become outdated. Sorry, had to translate that to English. Seems like basic writing and comprehension have become outdated also.
Also, the only people who complain about the lack of books are those still in primary school, as any level of schooling after that will quickly prove your point to be false.
“As his intention was to impregnate her. Which is GROSS. SUPER GROSS.” With the fluorescent caption on the screen. That’s my favorite part. 😂 I love these videos.
I don't think this was a happy ending. That's a crazed look for sure at 7:50. Lockhart isn't escaping to a better, happier life, but is clearly deranged. And why wouldn't he want to go back to New York after being tortured, drugged, and having all those eels and eel water forced into him? Getting back to the States doesn't mean he has to stay at that job, but it does mean getting away from madness of the (un)wellness center forever. In any case, they could have ended the movie with him looking halfway normal, if they wanted to convey a good outcome for him, but whether he's lost his mind or, as has been suggested above, he's somehow really Volmer, this doesn't feel like a happy ending at all.
Dane DeHaan is basically a carbon copy of a young Leonardo DiCaprio...I thought that first seeing him in Chronicle...it's scary how much he looks like Leo
I love this movie, because of it's cinematography, acting, musical score, sound design, but most of all because of just how fucking batshit crazy it is.
The water reminds me of the scene in the Percy Jackson when they are at the Lotus Hotel, they eat the cookies which make them in a state where they don’t want to leave and times flies
I loved the color palette and color toning in this movie... visually stunning , keeps reminding you the theme of the movie is water and keeps you claustrophobic..
Cool observation. Makes sense that the staff was so young. That would also explain the loyalty that would be necessary to run an operation like this without getting caught.
I actually watched this movie before shuttered island, i watched shuttered island today for the first time and i thought they were so alike but then turns out they both kind of have different storylines :)
Shutter Island is done way better. After the movie it was clear what was a delusion and what was real and that wasn't the case in this one for me at least
The toothy smile made me feel that near the end, Lockhart was actually volmer, escaping with his daughter who mistakenly loves him now, mistaking him for the deceased Lockhart who was the one who actually died in the scuffle
I thought that Lockhart became the "heir" of Volmer since he killed him. Kind of like how Will in Pirates of the Caribbean became the "heir" of the flying dutchman.
this comment and the replies to it are full of stupid. the smile was just bad acting and stupid. the baron took a shovel to the face and it was his f**ked up face not his fake one so we can clearly see its the baron. lockhart didn't get into the car because the car was heading back up the mountain towards the place he had been trying to escape for about a week. instead he decide to ride down the mountain with his girl, no idea what relationship they have but for whatever reason she trusts him enough to run away with him, not like she had many options. dont mistake bad acting and stupid choices by the director as massive plot points, this horror thriller was full of dumb shit that didn't make sense.
Yes I see what you mean, he could have been replaced during those instances. The movie ended a few times and then carried on, it's an immersive film due to its length and atmosphere, but the plot holes are bothersome and the ending was pretty awful. His smile is too sinister to just have learnt that blind ambition isn't everything. But maybe that's just how he smiles.
It's the same actor. Also, this and Amazing Spider-Man 2 were pretty divisive movies. I have no plans for seeing A Cure for Wellness, but I've seen The Amazing Spider-Man 2 a few times and I think it's probably the second best Spider-Man film (below Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2). Dane DeHaan will appear later this year in a film based on a Belgian comic entitled "Valerian et Laureline" (the movie is called Valerian and the City of a Thousand...something), and judging by what he's been in lately, it might be divisive and everyone might be like "THIS MOVIE SUCKS! THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING! YOU SUCK! YOU'RE HITLER BECAUSE YOU LIKE THIS MOVIE!" among others.
The fact that the girl hummed the song which his mother singing without any connection between the girl and his mother and the fact Volmer knew his childhood trauma without telling him anything gives me the conclusion that everything happens there when he decided to go to that place were all about his delusion. Its all in his mind. Thats the reason why his co workers in the end didn't see Hannah.
I loved this movie. I didn't feel the need to find an ending explained thing (except for that creepy smile at the end) and I actually feel like I figured everything out myself. I think it's very hard for a movie to figure out how much should be explained without it being to obvious. This was a good mix of both.
Mister Doctor I feel like people also found it tedious because of the long run time. I found it to be intriguing enough all the way through that I didn't mind the run time as much as I thought I would.
Brittany Rose I didn't even notice the run time it had me zones in I just was curious as to if the cure was real and why did Lockhart smile at the end but it could've been because he said maybe crazy is the only way in life to be truely free
milkshake285 I'm usually hate going to the movies. If I sit too long I get restless or fall asleep, but this one kept me going. I think a lot of people see the run time and right off the bat don't want to watch it though, which is sad.
I found out years ago that apparently if your a gamer your more likely to be able to control your lucid dreams. First one that will that I'll never forget was so vivid. It was DeadSpace I literally was in a spacesuit on a ghost ship with the first gun you get... so many times I died to start again. Then later on I found myself having multiple dreams one after the other and it would either be I'd have more control the longer I slept which was nice when I could sleep in lol, but when I was most lucid when I started the first dream and got worse from then on as I lost control in these dreams
When Lockheart first speaks to Hannah, she is singing the song from the Ballerina music box. He asks her where she knows the song from. She does not answer. Why? What does it matter to the story that she knows a song, or melody, from his past? Maybe it's an obvious answer that I happened to miss. I dont know. Also, that smile at the end looks like pure insanity. Really enjoyed the movie though
Maybe it has something to do with his mother? She made the ballerina and maybe they had met previously like in the past when Hannahs father was discovering stuff about all the eels and some of the early experiments but idk lol just an idea
Just finished.. pretty good movie but i needed it explained since i didn't understand everything. - I wish that when her dad took off he's face.. it would look burned and not odd green? i dunno.. it looked so weird to me. - Lockhart had this super creepy and evil smile in the end, like as if it is not even him. I don't think it looked like a smile of "living happily ever after" or "we are all safe now". Thanks for explaining :)
I agree, it didnt click with me that he was burnt, I thought it was because he'd been drinking all this eel juice for 200+ years that he'd started turning into an eel human.
Agree. This smile was too creepy so I thought her dad somehow moved to Lockhart's body, but I guess besides long life span he don't have other superpowers?🤔
what if that last smile mean :" I have my prized bride, and the key to immortality" he knows the way to live a long long life now that last smile look more of demonic than satisfied
@ I don’t think so.. they showed her in the picture (the kid who was holding volmer’s hand) that took place in 1912 at the end when lockhart realised she was volmer’s daughter, and she’s been drinking that “vitamin” so she is way older, or am i wrong?
@ I thinks she’s much older physically and it’s the billboard, makeup, and the groping at the bar that triggers her hormones as she was never exposed to those things at the sanatorium. It’s a psychological horror at its core.
@ thought it’s always bugged me as a supposed man of science he failed to realize the ill effects of inbreeding. He’s no intellect just an ego spurred by hundreds of years of failed experiments.
Dude this movie had me like "I'm probably gonna hate the ending" because I kept assuming what it would be with every hint throughout the film, but then the ending happened and now I'm satisfied.
I think the ending can be explained by the fact that Lockhart is actually Pembroke and the whole thing's a crazed daydream: 1) Lockhart is sent on a mission to find Pembroke (his sanity), and only locates him fleetingly a couple of times in the film. 2) His watch stops soon after he arrives at the Sanitarium, showing us that the events that follow do not take place in reality 3) All the stuff about the ballerina dreaming and not knowing she's dreaming 4) It doesn't make any sense as to why so many senior members of the board would all come to visit him at the same time at the end...even according to the suspended logic of the Sanitarium's universe 5) None of the board members in the taxi notice Hannah, they all look confused as Lockhart stares at her 6) They ask "what have you done?" but they have no apparent reason to suspect that Lockhart is responsible for burning down an entire building (it could easily have been any of the staff or patients) So the creepy, crazed smile at the end, is us finally seeing Lockhart from a perspective other than his own internal one (as had been the case for the whole film thus far).
wow this explanation actually kinda makes sense. the watch and what have you done thing got me... it’s true, their choice of words were odd with that one :/
Apparently that's something that is actually true. It turns frogs gay and himaphroditic. Not the water in the film but there is a chemical that regularly gets pumped into water which stimulates estrogen production. And frogs are most affected due to them living in water but it is present in tap water in some areas too. Who would have thought it wasn't just an incoherent rant eh?
To me the creepy smile at the end meant that it's not about whether you are striving for material wealth or for health (eternal life such as the doctor). Either you are obsessed with some goal that leads you to abuse others in order to attain it, or you are enjoying life for what it is, your freedom, while being kind to those around you. Riding off into the darkness with no money, passport, with a crazy orphaned girl etc. It's batshit insane... But so is the life of these new yorkers. It's all insane. What matters is that you are present, grateful, joyful and kind.
I thought both leads looked extremely young. He didn't look old enough to be a successful business man, maybe not even a college grad. But that's just me~
I was really confused by the ending. Me and my parents were convinced that the Lockhart riding on the bike in the end of the movie was literally not the Lockhart that came to the facility. When he was in the underground part of the facility he saw the man he came there for dead in one of the water tanks, but later on that man was in the office or whatever where Lockhart tried to run away so that he could say that Lockhart wanted to take him away against his will. At that point Lockhart had lost some of his teeth either from them falling out (due to the water) and the staff also drilled some off as well in order to torture him. At some point I believe I remember Hannah going to that underground part of the facility I mentioned and seeing Lockhart in one of the tanks, but I'm not fully sure. Later on, when he sits on the bench and tells Hannah that he doesn't see the reason to leave, you can see that he has a nice set of pearly whites. Also, in the scene before this, Lockhart had the eels pumped into his stomach which would have likely killed him (the eels are shown eating people several times in the movie so what's to say they can't eat a person from the inside out). At the end he refused to get into the car with the people from his company. I'm unsure if this is because he was actually changed by the facility, or maybe the second Lockhart (only thing I could think of to call him) has no memory of these people, and therefore doesn't care about going back to his job anymore. When he got back onto the bike and rode away he said something about how he's feeling better/well, and then he flashes a smile. This was important because the other patients at the facility were the only people to say things like that, and the Lockhart that went there had his teeth fallen out and removed. How could he have gotten such a nice smile like that? I'm still not sure if my theory is 100% correct, if anyone has anything that might prove or contradict this please add a comment maybe we can figure something out.
Namjoonie's Expensive Girl In my opinion, it is the same Lockhart. He could've easily has his teeth replaced. He denies a ride from the other chair members because, well, f**k em, they were terrible people. Lockhart realized that. He was never dead while inside that tank. He was in a state of suspended animation. My theory for those machines was a way to rejuvenate or prepare the body for the extraction of the pure juice that comes out of people while inside those metal cylinders with the eels inside them. As for when he says, "why would anybody want to leave?" or whatever on the bench with Hannah, he is not in a sound state of mind as a result of the events that had just transpired and the water causing delusions and hallucinations. On an unrelated note, The "juice" that the director/Barron and Hannah drink seem to extend life. In the picture Lockhart is looks at in the director's office, the date is 1912. So, by drinking a drop of the juice everyday or however often, the two were able to extend their lives until Hannah became fertile. Lockhart changes throughout the story as a result of his experiences and his physical changes can be easily explained while his mental changes are better described in a more philosophical sense right now. Hope this helps!
well lockhart knew whp pembrock was at the end. he also knew about everything the baron had done. he knew she was his daughter. a new person would not have this knowledge. i assume after the eel treatment they go back up the tube, maybe a deleted scene or something?
He didn't get into the car with them because he knew they just wanted him to come back to take the fall for the companies problems. That's about the only thing I understood about this fucked up movie 😂.
@@wisegirlandseaweedbrain250 i dont think it was a genuine smile or he was plotting anything.I think it was suppose to mean that he went insane, probably because of all the shit hed seen and went through so the snding would be the most realistic part of the movie
A couple questions. 1: Why didn't the eels eat Hannah when she was in the water, but they did eat her father? 2: What were the duplicate bodies in the tanks? 3: Why would taking Hannah to the outside world have made her menstruate? (maybe the real reason is that this experience caused her to forget a dose of "vitamins"?)
1. I think the eels only eat dead people, they smelled the blood but realized that she was alive, so they didn’t eat her - and it maybe symbolizes that she is the “special one”. 2. I don’t know wtf that was about. 3. Also kinda symbolic, she drank her first beer, had her first dance, heard about periods for the first time = maybe thats why she know is a woman idk
She had menstruation because those events were a trigger. She felt aroused, felt like a woman for the first time, was around young boys etc. Escaping the childlike reality she Was forced to live.
@@steffna funny how the father could have done the same by bringing her to the outside world, let her mature and then married her a hundred years ago but instead locked her up and waited so long lmfao too counter productive
What are your thoughts on what happened after lockheart was in the iron lung. In one shot he's getting eels pumped into him, in the next he's sitting on a bench, staring at the alps (when Hannah gives him the ballerina). Did he escape the lung? Are the eels still in him? What happened to Pembrook?
Joseph Pierce I think the eels where for making the vitamins, the sweat eel filled people made were the vitamins. But I wonder if he still has them in him or if they leave.
I think it was Volmer or the other workers who let him out of the machine eventually. For me it seemed that every patient at the "wellness center" was "harvested" more than once, for example Mrs. Watkins who we saw in the room next to the iron lung room, looking rather dried out and exhausted. There was also the one screaming patient in the transfusion wing corridor, almost toothless. My theory is that as long as there was some "baby eel" filled water in the patient's body to keep them obedient, hypnotized almost, and as long as the patient's body lasted before eventually collapsing from the poisoned water, the doctor kept harvesting them. In the end, when the last harvesting was done, the used bodies were tossed away for being "dry as the mummies of Egypt". The patient in the transfusion corridor I believe was screaming, because s/he was harvested (for the last time) not long ago, so there was no eel water inside hypnotizing him/her into submission for the treatments. Somehow s/he had managed to survive the last harvest (maybe because of obesity?), but his/her body was already at its very limits, because only a few teeth remained anymore. The eels I think will stay inside of him, but not for too long. After forcefully pumping the eels down a patient's throat, I don't really see a way to get them back? I think after every harvest, the eels are just left into the patient's stomach, and ingestion eventually takes care of the rest.
Here is my theory: 1) The hero dies (We see him floating in a tank after having lost his tooth. 2) The dad knows his daughter is in love with the hero. He takes his face. 3) He sets up a colleague to take his own face and pretend to consume his wedding. 4) He becomes the hero as the 'bad dad' gets killed off. 5) He goes off with his 'daughter', who loves him and will hopefully carry his child? (This explains the fact that the hero has his tooth back and is seen alive even after haivng been seen floating dead. And that almost psycho smile). What says ye?
@@abingpinkk9632 then why will Lockhart which this guy is saying Baron in disguise ever go to Mr.hatkins documents...and then uncover the truth before basically encountering them both when they were having sex?
I've been drinking the sweaty eel juice for the last 6 years of my life. It's called sugar-free Monster Energy Drinks and Starbucks coffee and I can't stop. It all taste like pure eel sh-t.
What was up with the smile at the end? Certainly didn't look like a "I'm Free" smile. Looks like hes a psychopath or taken over by Volmer. Please explain. Thanks.
JennyWas13 if u watched the movie it doesnt make sense. Who else would it be?they just killed the dr and escaped a fire and then that end scene. No time for amything to happen. I think dude just has a creepy ass smile and the director wanted a shot of it. And doing so it confused the fuck outa everybody
I'd like to know that, too. As far as I can tell, the eel infected water made the patients submissive for taking the treatments willingly, but the mobbing scene looked like they had just turned into robots or zombies. The patients were acting rather normally otherwise, and I think it would have made more sense if all the patients just rose up and gathered on the Volmer's side, giving Lockhart accusing and questioning looks.
iRinnda it's because they are in denial and also the water is causing their brains to be screwed up most people would rather have false hope instead of no hope
I think its pretty metaphorical for how violent people can get in protecting what they hold most dear. Look at our current society. The protests and violent attacks on people of differing beliefs. Whether you believe one side or the other, violence when you're not physically threatened is not acceptable. But when you threaten a person's core worldview and most valued beliefs they will violently attack the person doing so because to them it is even more crucial than being physically threatened. To these old, wealthy people, the belief that there was a cure was their all and all. They could not bear the thought that there might not be one and sought to shut the mouth of the heretic.
Mike Duke - That is a very good explanation actually! I guess at that point I was already so shocked by the movie I wasn't able to think about it metaphorically on any level. :D
I think I figured the movie out all right, but I was having hard time trying to figure out how the eels actually work. Apparently, there were little eels in the water, which the patients drank. There were also a lot of bigger eels used in the iron lung room, which were shoved inside of the patient's stomach. These eels didn't hurt (like bite and eat) people however, since Lockhart was alive after his iron lung treatment. When Hannah had her first period, a flock of big eels came swimming around her, but they didn't harm her. Then we had eels that clearly ate people. The dead people were tossed into the water under the broken tower, and the eels ate them up with delight. Those same eels ate Volmer too, when he fell into their lake. That very lake I suppose is the aquaduct where the long living eels lived. And the long living eels were used in the iron lung treatment too, right? Because that's what made Volmer's vitamins special, right? Then why didn't the eels eat people from inside out, or why didn't they attack Hannah in the swimming pool, if they were the same miraculous long living eels?
Yeah that's also what bothers me, but again I am also not exactly sure if I even understand how the production of the "cure" works and I don't think it is very well explained in the movie. It just seems the whole eel-thing is not very well thought through and is rather there because it is a very rational fear. But again if anybody has an actual explanation I'd be happy to hear!
I also think that the whole eel thing wasn't so carefully thought through because after all, the vitamins produced from the eels were not the cure for wellness. It was the old people coming to the sanitary who were looking for a cure for wellness, because even after becoming rich and successful business men and women they still felt unsatisfied, like there was still a void in them that prevented them to be completely healthy. The vitamins which were made partially out of the patients, were never given to them. As the movie ends the viewers are kind of left with the feeling "So what was the cure for wellness?" but the truth is that there actually is no medical cure for it. It is the fact that only by living in the moment and caring for the people around your life you can enjoy life to the fullest, for no success in business can ever bring you as much satisfaction than loving somebody and being loved. That at least is what I made out of the movie: The eel vitamins were only a source for a longer life (because Volmer was a psycho and obsessed with the pure incest bloodline), the actual cure for wellness is to live a fulfilling life, and it's up to everyone's own decisions how fulfilling they make their lives out to be.
iRinnda Well, I interpreted the title a different way, more cynical. People who aren't actually sick are beginning to think they are, due to the water, and long for a promised cure, thinking only by staying they will be cured. But there wasn't an illness to begin with, hence "cure for wellness". They are well, maybe unsatisfied with life, but well, but are led to believe they aren't. They are searching for a cure they don't need and are made sick by the doctor, who in this case literally cures wellness. As for the eels, maybe they only feed upon dead people? Maybe they only eat dead meat, which is totally normal among some species, never hunting by themselves. So inside a person's body, there could be some reaction between their own liquids and something the eel, for example, carries on their skin.
valfaris25 - That's an interesting way to view it, and it works that way too! I gotta say the creators really manage to mind fuck us even with the title, which is kinda impressive. :D The eels only eating dead meat is also a very good explanation. I don't know how "dead meat" we could call Volmer as he fell into the lake, since even though he was indeed dead in theory already, I don't know how long it will take for all the muscles and intestines to completely die. After all, not everything in the body stops the moment your heart stops beating, neither does the rotting start so rapidly... But then again, this was only a movie and we possibly are digging too deep into it. XD
Yeah, there are many ways to make sense out of the title, at wikipedia (at least the german version) I read it could also be understood as a pun, although I don't know exactly how. Good point with Volmer not being all that dead when entering the water! I thought about that myself while typing my ideas yesterday, and was not too sure about how eating dead meat actually really works in animal kingdom. Aren't there vulptures making circles in the sky when an animal dies underneath them on the ground, waiting for it to be finally dead? As far as I know, they don't wait too long with eating then. And on another note, at least Volmer's face tissue didn't look like it was still alive that much, and he got severely burnt before getting killed with that shovel, so his skin could totally fall in the category "something a dead meat eater would eat". But yeah, you are possibly right about us digging too deep, maybe we already found better solutions than anything the creators themselves thought of xD
Some people are same that this movie is a cousin to the Bioshock video game. I kind of see what they mean but not the full aspect but the peoples affliction is the same I guess.
I did not see the full movie, but by this video - it has nothing to do with any of the bioshock. Motivation is very different for Bioshock - its to everyone act free. Here its to get one person live forever - veeery different.
Jonathan Harker is equally sent abroad by his boss to visit a castle in the (carpathian) mountains. The mission is very important for the company so he can’t refuse. He also uses the train and observes the strange scenery and landscape closely. The owner of a castle is a very strange person named Count Dracula, who has powers to defy time. Other very strange things are going on too. The counts special cure for death is blood. Harkers predecessor Renfield went totally nuts there. Harker wants to leave but is prevented from that. ... I worked in Graubuenden Switzerland for three years. The Alps are an amazing place to be.
the mom dies shortly before he leaves on his trip, he is in the room when she is cremated, and is wearing the same suit so I dont think that scene takes place after the movie is over chronologically
Gore verbinski was set to direct a bioshock movie once upon a time and honestly i see parallels between this movie and some of the games. The use of humans to get a valuable substance - Little sisters vs the sweat filtration. The mind control - Would you kindly vs the waters seeming effects. The pristine veneer that covered underlying darkness - the institution in ACFW and columbia in infinite. The child/creation rebelling against the father/creator - Hannah and the baron vs Jack and Frank Fontaine. Maybe this is him making up for that lol Couldnt find any Big daddy parallels though
mole so like why are you so angry. Her comment wasn't rude or mean it was just her opinion. If this is how you speak to people in real life I feel bad for the people who interact with you.
I always wondered what would happen to Lockhart with those eels still in his stomach. One answer that someone provided was that since he was still alive, his body's natural functions would eventually digest the eels and in time, provide a natural healing process. The human body has some incredible filtering systems designed to remove contamination, just like the distilled perspiration that Volmer consumed.
Alana Branch I'm thinking the same thing supposedly I heard from another you tuber that he's just happy to be free and that the water has drove him crazy lol
Alana Branch Because he was still hallucinating. Remember his teeth were actually drilled out. All the rest of the patients are happy too because they have hallucinated the same things.
You explained some things throughout the movie that I didn't understand but it wasn't the ending. This is a summary of the entire movie, not an explanation of specifically the ending.
*Question:* Right, so the baron needed the drops for immortality, but he also wanted "pure blood" so he wanted to keep his daughter alive too but hang on a minute... If she drinks it she will he slowly, so you won't get to do what you want until ages after. So wouldn't it just have saved a bunch of time if he didn't give his daughter the immortality drink? And just let her age naturally?
I think he viewed her as a child for so long...all her life. And only started to think of her as "Woman" when he saw her dancing and having drinks at the bar
So as far as I understood the ealwater drains your life and the cure can heal you or make you immortal, thats probably why Lockharts foot healed back and his teeth grew back but they never explained the deal with the eals wtf are they like super eals ? This movie was incredibly well shot and had an awesome atmopshere but the ending was kinda predicable and too simple, also this movie felt VERY long for such predictable conclussion.
Vampires Crypt no he never broke his leg it was an illusion, if you woke up with a Cass on your leg an a doctor told you it was broken you would assume it was broken and use the crutches 😎
you're wrong 6:21. everybody misses that SPOILER - hannah is 200 year old girl - the water is dangerous for human beings. but "filtered" with human body it gives you a very long life - Lockhart tastes the "vitamins" wich is the water filtered. and says "it tastes like sweat seafood" (human urine/sweat distilled with that water in a proportion of 1%/99% respectively) - hannah first menstruation has nothing to do with the town down or Lockhart. it was her moment, just that
That moment, when you have to explain a movie to your followers, and you realize there are at least 4.132 dumb ppl. Welcome to the age of youtube, instaram, pranksters, where reading a book, immagination and logic became outdated
My first interpretation is - The Guy who smiled at the end is not lockhart, it's the baron using lockhart's face. The baron may have done some diet to match lockhart's physique. The baron mentioned something like it's better if people are willing to do things that he wants rather than him forcing them to do it. The baron is aware that hannah is not going to have sex with him willingly so he used lockhart's face and created a scenario where he will save hannah. The person who hannah killed could be just one of the loyal servant serving the baron for a very long time. The baron might have decided to burn the whole facility so no one else but him and hannah and their future children will benefit from the vitamin that gives a person extended lifespan. After all the baron is the one who pioneered and invented that vitamin technology so he might have hidden some secrets about the formula of the life extending vitamin from his colleagues and other doctors working in the facility. My second interpretation of the movie is that Lockhart was simply running away from all the pressure and stress of modern day life. He observed that rich and successful people worked hard and deal with all the pressure and stress of modern day life but in the end their life is still pointless & meaningless and they are still unhappy despite all the material success and wealth that they have. He saw that everyone is like living in a prison, a kind of prison that our modern day society enforced upon us; a society where material success is highly admired and valued the most, a society where everyone walks aimlessly towards something that is completely meaningless and all of us or most of us is trapped in this society and this society becomes the reality that people simply can't escape from. He noticed that life is too short and everyone is going to die in the end and he realized that success and wealth will only make sense if people are going to live for a very long period of time or live forever; but such thing doesn't exist. So he decided to run away from all the material success that our society promotes and from all the pressure and stress of modern day life. In the end he run away from all of it and he decided to live a simple meaningful life with the woman he cares about.
Raymond Ramos I think he had actually just gone a little mad. He'd just been through hell, seen and had a lot messed up stuff happen to him. It probably would drive most folk a little crazy.
Whippybox_grHD! There are people who haven't seen the movie! These videos are mostly purely a "series" so I believe he mostly titles them "Ending Explained!" To be able to add all the videos to one playlist.
But why would people who haven't even seen the movie want to hear the ending explained? If I want to decide whether I want to check out a movie or not, I will watch a non-spoiler review, not an "ending explained" video.
I don't know about you, but I scare easily. This way, I can enjoy story telling in a fast, summarized fashion while still being up to date on films that I would otherwise not see. I am thankful for these "ending explained' videos.
I'm starting to think that too lol Most people are dumb as shit, so if most people don't like it, it's probably a good movie. Of course there are exceptions
I think I can explain why lockhart had both of his teeth back in the final scene, I remember a while back in the movie that the baron was saying that humans could not get the health benefits of the water unless it was propertly filtered, but back in the bar lockhart drank some of the filtered version that supposedly has healing properties witch could have been the cause of his teeth being restored, ofcourse there is still the baron theory also explaing the grinn at the ending
nahh.. they just fix the tooth back into the socket thats why the nurse put the tooth in a milk.. thats actually acurate theory for tooth avultion treatment(but the movie made it too simple), and for the incisive tooth they probably done dental works like bridge or denture since they got dentist in the building
The new teeth were dental implants. That was the entire point of him losing his tooth to dehydration and then, when he was captured in the Transfusions Flugel, brought to the dentist's room to have his teeth fixed.
My dude literally just described the movie under 10 minutes. Sir, I just watched the movie and I'm not trying to remember it again. I'm trying to understand the why-s and how-s behind some scenes in the movie. There are a lot of things that remained unexplained. This isn't an explanation, this is just a description.
I dont understand how his teeth grew back. Was his teeth actually really removed or was it just hallucinations which is why at the end of the movie he had normal teeth??
I share my opinion with Jorge Zavala, he probably had dentures done after that. It was said in the movie, that the patients teeth start to fall off because of dehydration (the water they drank was toxic with eels, and the patients were harvested by making them sweat in the iron lungs). I believe that to cover the patient's loss of teeth from the other patients, the sanitary's dentist made them all dentures when some teeth were lost.
Lockheart actually foreshadows what is really in the "vitamins". When him and hannah was in the bar lockheart asks "hey what's that?" and she responds vitamins and lockheart asks for a drop of one and he says "It tastes like sweaty seafood".
Quite frankly, the smile at the end seemed more malevolent in intent than just "I'm free!" Hell, after all the weirdness that film contains, him being possessed or something would not have been a surprise. For everything else, I must admit that the film's bizarre editing really didn't help in understanding the context, so the early scenes about Lockhart's mother were confusing. Although, I feel it's not a film I'd watch more than once to try and make sense of it.
I fully expected this movie to end like Shutter Island(considering it's...very similar) Or a deviation of it. He escapes and heads back where his job is fine and he's happier, only for something to appear, like a door disappearing before he realizes it's a dream, and he's still at the facility, before he stares at the camera and the movie ends. Some haunting shit like that. Very interesting though, I still haven't seen it. It's gotten mixed to poor reviews lol
I haven't seen a comment like this, and correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't watched the documentary about this in a while, but, at 6:00 the lung-eel thing was used (made)in the late 1800 or 1900s for a disease or something from what I think was a war, to help people breathe. I really cant remember what it did exactly(I think it applied pressure for the lungs to work, like cpr)or where the documentary is on RUclips, but the machines are literally the same in the movie as in real life, or at least the original model. The documentary was about a man who was one of the last with the 'disease' still alive today, but I think he passed a few years afterwards and how he still needed to use it to live, eventhough it had been years since he started using it. I know I didnt do a good job describing it, but I couldn't stop thinking about it, and I loved that the movie included a real thing, they just used it differently. Also, please tell me if you find the documentary or know anything about it, cause I really want to find and watch it again, and sorry for making you read this, if you did.
I believe that all the “patients”, Lockhart included, when he was in his more brainwashed states anyway, were in a sort of hive mind, with the Baron as the leader. Hear me out okay, so they were all controlled via the water which had eels in, and what was the Baron mostly made of? It's hard to tell by the dim lighting, but his faced looked like a ton of eels. My evidence to back this up, is Lockhart’s dream, he has a dream of Hannah laying rather seductively in the bath, until he walks closer and sees eels I mean, why would he have a fantasy like that of her though, he doesn’t think of her like that, unless it was the Baron’s dream, no one else thinks of Hannah like that but the Baron. But, I hear you say, how would Lockhart be having the Baron’s dream, because everyone in the sanitarium was having that same dream that night, that’s why, thus a hive mind. I don’t believe the possessed theory at the end, the Baron, despite being completely evil and malevolent, they never show any sign that he’s a demon or a spirit of some kind, he’s immortal from the eels but not a demon, therefore he couldn’t possess anyone. However, what I theorise is that it is in fact Baron smiling at the end, because he is still in charge, somewhat, of Lockhart’s mind, like he’s still conscious of the hive mind despite his physical body dying. I know one thing for certain, judging by Lockhart’s character, that smile was completely out of character for him, whereas a smile like that seems to be a lot more consistent with the Baron. In my personal opinion that didn’t seem to be a “I got away,” smile, more of a “I won,” smile, and not I won against the villain; or, who knows, maybe he just did go completely crazy but it still doesn’t really explain that dream does it. It’s just a theory but interesting for me to explore none the less. Let me know what you think!
Bro you just ran through a whole movie… I actually came here because I thought it was a twist in the end. I am not sure now but he had that crazy smile with perfectly normal teeth which were pulled out earlier in the movie. That drove me to think if he actuallt was delusional and set a perfectly normal institution on fire?
the actor looks like he's going to drop any moment from exhaustion.

That moment when you have to explain a movie to your followers, however, you realise that there are at least 4,132 dumb people.
Welcome to the age of RUclips, Instagram, Internet Pranksters, and where reading a book and having an imagination has become outdated.
Sorry, had to translate that to English. Seems like basic writing and comprehension have become outdated also.
Also, the only people who complain about the lack of books are those still in primary school, as any level of schooling after that will quickly prove your point to be false.
This movie had a lot of old people nudity.
Thanks for the heads down.

This movie was visually stunning. The atmosphere created by it was extremely beautiful.
Beautiful and terrifying
After watching the movie I’m now afraid to drink any type of water.
Ice ha ha ha...🙄
The only safe water to drink is Cool Water by Davidoff.
sounds like a you problem
lol
Im afraid to take a shit since i saw the toilet scene lmao
What the movie was all about:
How to look and stay young for a hundred years drinking sweat.
Love your profile pic
Gemme sauce of your profile :3
@Kill Joy i love dark anime girl
Im doubting its urine
Suger honey iced tea sounds good I'm going to try that
The ending smile was kind of evil it confused me
Yes me too
I don't think this was a happy ending. That's a crazed look for sure at 7:50. Lockhart isn't escaping to a better, happier life, but is clearly deranged. And why wouldn't he want to go back to New York after being tortured, drugged, and having all those eels and eel water forced into him? Getting back to the States doesn't mean he has to stay at that job, but it does mean getting away from madness of the (un)wellness center forever.
In any case, they could have ended the movie with him looking halfway normal, if they wanted to convey a good outcome for him, but whether he's lost his mind or, as has been suggested above, he's somehow really Volmer, this doesn't feel like a happy ending at all.
Yes how come he's got all his teeth?
@@wisegirlandseaweedbrain250 when did he get the fake teeth?😶
It's so stupid, did the guy thought he was playing the Green Goblin again?
these vids are great for people like me: interested in the mystery of horror films but wayyy to scared to watch them

Sean Carter feel ya bro
This isn't a scary movie, I would say it's more of a thriller
Sean Carter hh
Dane DeHaan is basically a carbon copy of a young Leonardo DiCaprio...I thought that first seeing him in Chronicle...it's scary how much he looks like Leo
Kate Gunn did you see him in the amazing spider-man 2? Lots of people didn’t like him but I thought he did an amazing job
@@Leanor90 I did too
i don’t see it lol
Maybe but only when he makes certain faces and I love Dane in this movie.
Katie Eleanor ugh I love chronicle sometimes I can't finish it all the way through though
I just came here because of the evil smile at the end... it didn't seem to me like he was just "happy" to live a normal life again
maybe you just don't know what real happiness is
I saw Pennywise and then I came here
I love this movie, because of it's cinematography, acting, musical score, sound design, but most of all because of just how fucking batshit crazy it is.
That's perfectly said.
its my favorite movie for all those reasons
The water reminds me of the scene in the Percy Jackson when they are at the Lotus Hotel, they eat the cookies which make them in a state where they don’t want to leave and times flies
Nikolas Hansen i always think abt that scene
Read the fucking book ans you will be glad you will hate the movie but you will love the books

@@ragnorfellandcantgetup3916 those atrocity’s
@@ragnorfellandcantgetup3916 you have to admit the lotus cookies looked scrumptious tho
I loved the color palette and color toning in this movie... visually stunning , keeps reminding you the theme of the movie is water and keeps you claustrophobic..
Yeah, I kinda noticed all through the movie it seemed to have a mild somewhat greenish shade throughout in general...
In reality, this hospital would have financial problems lol
Ryan Pouliot alittle but they would make stacks it's easy to bullshit people into thinking something is wrong look at webmd
Pie Romancer yeah or the insurance companies.
Also, I think, the nurses are probably mostly payed with "vitamins" aka. life elixir.
The Chaotic Three Count was it covered under Obama care?
Cool observation. Makes sense that the staff was so young. That would also explain the loyalty that would be necessary to run an operation like this without getting caught.
for a moment I was like this is another "shutter island"
so im not the only one... 😂
I actually watched this movie before shuttered island, i watched shuttered island today for the first time and i thought they were so alike but then turns out they both kind of have different storylines :)
Me too
Shutter Island is done way better. After the movie it was clear what was a delusion and what was real and that wasn't the case in this one for me at least
It is sadly it means you can only see it once because you know the mystery then
The toothy smile made me feel that near the end, Lockhart was actually volmer, escaping with his daughter who mistakenly loves him now, mistaking him for the deceased Lockhart who was the one who actually died in the scuffle
yes and that's why he didn't go in the car!
I thought “Joker”
I thought that Lockhart became the "heir" of Volmer since he killed him. Kind of like how Will in Pirates of the Caribbean became the "heir" of the flying dutchman.
this comment and the replies to it are full of stupid. the smile was just bad acting and stupid. the baron took a shovel to the face and it was his f**ked up face not his fake one so we can clearly see its the baron. lockhart didn't get into the car because the car was heading back up the mountain towards the place he had been trying to escape for about a week. instead he decide to ride down the mountain with his girl, no idea what relationship they have but for whatever reason she trusts him enough to run away with him, not like she had many options.
dont mistake bad acting and stupid choices by the director as massive plot points, this horror thriller was full of dumb shit that didn't make sense.
Yes I see what you mean, he could have been replaced during those instances. The movie ended a few times and then carried on, it's an immersive film due to its length and atmosphere, but the plot holes are bothersome and the ending was pretty awful. His smile is too sinister to just have learnt that blind ambition isn't everything. But maybe that's just how he smiles.
Sooo...Lucius Malfoy basically takes the whole pureblood idea too far?
Stephanie Lovat yep
hahaha this is what I was thinking
Lockharts smile at the end of the movie reminds me of his green goblin smile from the amazing Spider-Man 2
Tabular Joker That's what I thought too! I saw the movie with my mom today and she was so damn creeped out by it!
It's the same actor.
Also, this and Amazing Spider-Man 2 were pretty divisive movies. I have no plans for seeing A Cure for Wellness, but I've seen The Amazing Spider-Man 2 a few times and I think it's probably the second best Spider-Man film (below Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2).
Dane DeHaan will appear later this year in a film based on a Belgian comic entitled "Valerian et Laureline" (the movie is called Valerian and the City of a Thousand...something), and judging by what he's been in lately, it might be divisive and everyone might be like "THIS MOVIE SUCKS! THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING! YOU SUCK! YOU'RE HITLER BECAUSE YOU LIKE THIS MOVIE!" among others.
Well everyone is questioning it because it's directed by the guy who directed Lucy
A Cure for Wellness or Valerian?
Also, yeah...Lucy was 100% stupid. We actually do use 100% of our brains every day.
cause it's a crossover,he's been sent there to become the green goblin
The fact that the girl hummed the song which his mother singing without any connection between the girl and his mother and the fact Volmer knew his childhood trauma without telling him anything gives me the conclusion that everything happens there when he decided to go to that place were all about his delusion. Its all in his mind. Thats the reason why his co workers in the end didn't see Hannah.
Damn
One of them looks directly at her, so not sure they didn't not see her. But I think it's left ambiguous.
I loved this movie. I didn't feel the need to find an ending explained thing (except for that creepy smile at the end) and I actually feel like I figured everything out myself. I think it's very hard for a movie to figure out how much should be explained without it being to obvious. This was a good mix of both.
Michael Adams yeah the smile at the end was cheesy but the rest of the movie was really unique
Mister Doctor I feel like people also found it tedious because of the long run time. I found it to be intriguing enough all the way through that I didn't mind the run time as much as I thought I would.
Brittany Rose I didn't even notice the run time it had me zones in I just was curious as to if the cure was real and why did Lockhart smile at the end but it could've been because he said maybe crazy is the only way in life to be truely free
milkshake285 I'm usually hate going to the movies. If I sit too long I get restless or fall asleep, but this one kept me going. I think a lot of people see the run time and right off the bat don't want to watch it though, which is sad.
Brittany Rose not alone there XD I seen some movie that was 3 hours had me snoring an all that lol
I had a dream I was in a facility like this. I tried to escape like 9 times, before I actually did. It was some scary shit
Tony Bang that sounds terrifying
DUDE SAME
I WAS LIKE IN CONTROL AND SHIT AND IT WAS HORRIFIC
@@Pacers00 OMG SAME TOO DUDE MAYBE I SAW YOU THERE
I found out years ago that apparently if your a gamer your more likely to be able to control your lucid dreams. First one that will that I'll never forget was so vivid. It was DeadSpace I literally was in a spacesuit on a ghost ship with the first gun you get... so many times I died to start again. Then later on I found myself having multiple dreams one after the other and it would either be I'd have more control the longer I slept which was nice when I could sleep in lol, but when I was most lucid when I started the first dream and got worse from then on as I lost control in these dreams
When Lockheart first speaks to Hannah, she is singing the song from the Ballerina music box. He asks her where she knows the song from. She does not answer. Why? What does it matter to the story that she knows a song, or melody, from his past? Maybe it's an obvious answer that I happened to miss. I dont know. Also, that smile at the end looks like pure insanity. Really enjoyed the movie though
Maybe it has something to do with his mother? She made the ballerina and maybe they had met previously like in the past when Hannahs father was discovering stuff about all the eels and some of the early experiments but idk lol just an idea
He's in coma after crash and is making it all up in a dream
@@geert574 pretty sure that's not the case..
May be his mother was there. And Hannah heard this melody. That 50% explains why his mother said: " You will not come back. " She knew something?
Just finished.. pretty good movie but i needed it explained since i didn't understand everything.
- I wish that when her dad took off he's face.. it would look burned and not odd green? i dunno.. it looked so weird to me.
- Lockhart had this super creepy and evil smile in the end, like as if it is not even him. I don't think it looked like a smile of "living happily ever after" or "we are all safe now".
Thanks for explaining :)
*his
I agree, it didnt click with me that he was burnt, I thought it was because he'd been drinking all this eel juice for 200+ years that he'd started turning into an eel human.
Agree. This smile was too creepy so I thought her dad somehow moved to Lockhart's body, but I guess besides long life span he don't have other superpowers?🤔
Maybe the eels messed with his mind?
I think that's the smile of "I hate my coworkers and I'm gonna abandon them by the side of the road"

Why’s no one asking where her eyebrows are
because she's beautiful the way she is, and that's all that matters?
@@crappyari8774 they never said she wasnt beautiful?
Where are her eyebrows? There you go
Her eyebrow hair is just super blonde so it looks invisible
the sweaty eel juice doesn’t work for eyebrows
what if that last smile mean :" I have my prized bride, and the key to immortality"
he knows the way to live a long long life now
that last smile look more of demonic than satisfied
Yeahh you rightt
@ just realized that after I finished the movie
@ I don’t think so.. they showed her in the picture (the kid who was holding volmer’s hand) that took place in 1912 at the end when lockhart realised she was volmer’s daughter, and she’s been drinking that “vitamin” so she is way older, or am i wrong?
@ I thinks she’s much older physically and it’s the billboard, makeup, and the groping at the bar that triggers her hormones as she was never exposed to those things at the sanatorium. It’s a psychological horror at its core.
@ thought it’s always bugged me as a supposed man of science he failed to realize the ill effects of inbreeding. He’s no intellect just an ego spurred by hundreds of years of failed experiments.
Dude this movie had me like "I'm probably gonna hate the ending" because I kept assuming what it would be with every hint throughout the film, but then the ending happened and now I'm satisfied.
How did you imagine the ending
I think the ending can be explained by the fact that Lockhart is actually Pembroke and the whole thing's a crazed daydream:
1) Lockhart is sent on a mission to find Pembroke (his sanity), and only locates him fleetingly a couple of times in the film.
2) His watch stops soon after he arrives at the Sanitarium, showing us that the events that follow do not take place in reality
3) All the stuff about the ballerina dreaming and not knowing she's dreaming
4) It doesn't make any sense as to why so many senior members of the board would all come to visit him at the same time at the end...even according to the suspended logic of the Sanitarium's universe
5) None of the board members in the taxi notice Hannah, they all look confused as Lockhart stares at her
6) They ask "what have you done?" but they have no apparent reason to suspect that Lockhart is responsible for burning down an entire building (it could easily have been any of the staff or patients)
So the creepy, crazed smile at the end, is us finally seeing Lockhart from a perspective other than his own internal one (as had been the case for the whole film thus far).
👏
And maybe, the kid drawing the demon at the start of the movie
wow this explanation actually kinda makes sense. the watch and what have you done thing got me... it’s true, their choice of words were odd with that one :/
maybe he is in a coma because of the accident there it go
Wow a dream theory...color me surprised.
so thats the disease in the water that making the frogs gay
fuck i wish alex jones played lockhart now
Apparently that's something that is actually true. It turns frogs gay and himaphroditic. Not the water in the film but there is a chemical that regularly gets pumped into water which stimulates estrogen production. And frogs are most affected due to them living in water but it is present in tap water in some areas too.
Who would have thought it wasn't just an incoherent rant eh?
Gore Verbinski LOVES water. Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring (televisions leak) and this movie with water "curing" people.
Gore Verbinski is a merman confirmed.
and in rango there searching for wather
To me the creepy smile at the end meant that it's not about whether you are striving for material wealth or for health (eternal life such as the doctor). Either you are obsessed with some goal that leads you to abuse others in order to attain it, or you are enjoying life for what it is, your freedom, while being kind to those around you. Riding off into the darkness with no money, passport, with a crazy orphaned girl etc. It's batshit insane... But so is the life of these new yorkers. It's all insane. What matters is that you are present, grateful, joyful and kind.
I am joyfull with a good carreer and lots of money.
I couldn't have been the only one who thought that Hanna looked like a teenager
THANK YOU! I really thought I was the only one.. she looked 15-16 ish to me in some scenes..
naja1209 ikr she barely looked 18, the first scene that I saw her I thought that she was 14
T h a t s t h e p o i n t
I thought both leads looked extremely young. He didn't look old enough to be a successful business man, maybe not even a college grad. But that's just me~
I thought 13-14 when he handed her a beer
I just noticed that when he got out of the facility, his teeth are already complete. Was it just a hallucination?
I think he has gone crazy bro. Look the ending why he smiling.
I was really confused by the ending. Me and my parents were convinced that the Lockhart riding on the bike in the end of the movie was literally not the Lockhart that came to the facility. When he was in the underground part of the facility he saw the man he came there for dead in one of the water tanks, but later on that man was in the office or whatever where Lockhart tried to run away so that he could say that Lockhart wanted to take him away against his will. At that point Lockhart had lost some of his teeth either from them falling out (due to the water) and the staff also drilled some off as well in order to torture him. At some point I believe I remember Hannah going to that underground part of the facility I mentioned and seeing Lockhart in one of the tanks, but I'm not fully sure. Later on, when he sits on the bench and tells Hannah that he doesn't see the reason to leave, you can see that he has a nice set of pearly whites. Also, in the scene before this, Lockhart had the eels pumped into his stomach which would have likely killed him (the eels are shown eating people several times in the movie so what's to say they can't eat a person from the inside out). At the end he refused to get into the car with the people from his company. I'm unsure if this is because he was actually changed by the facility, or maybe the second Lockhart (only thing I could think of to call him) has no memory of these people, and therefore doesn't care about going back to his job anymore. When he got back onto the bike and rode away he said something about how he's feeling better/well, and then he flashes a smile. This was important because the other patients at the facility were the only people to say things like that, and the Lockhart that went there had his teeth fallen out and removed. How could he have gotten such a nice smile like that? I'm still not sure if my theory is 100% correct, if anyone has anything that might prove or contradict this please add a comment maybe we can figure something out.
Namjoonie's Expensive Girl In my opinion, it is the same Lockhart. He could've easily has his teeth replaced. He denies a ride from the other chair members because, well, f**k em, they were terrible people. Lockhart realized that. He was never dead while inside that tank. He was in a state of suspended animation. My theory for those machines was a way to rejuvenate or prepare the body for the extraction of the pure juice that comes out of people while inside those metal cylinders with the eels inside them. As for when he says, "why would anybody want to leave?" or whatever on the bench with Hannah, he is not in a sound state of mind as a result of the events that had just transpired and the water causing delusions and hallucinations. On an unrelated note, The "juice" that the director/Barron and Hannah drink seem to extend life. In the picture Lockhart is looks at in the director's office, the date is 1912. So, by drinking a drop of the juice everyday or however often, the two were able to extend their lives until Hannah became fertile. Lockhart changes throughout the story as a result of his experiences and his physical changes can be easily explained while his mental changes are better described in a more philosophical sense right now. Hope this helps!
well lockhart knew whp pembrock was at the end. he also knew about everything the baron had done. he knew she was his daughter. a new person would not have this knowledge. i assume after the eel treatment they go back up the tube, maybe a deleted scene or something?
He didn't get into the car with them because he knew they just wanted him to come back to take the fall for the companies problems. That's about the only thing I understood about this fucked up movie 😂.

@@angweneleanor its creepy like he litterally looks like he's plotting something. I actually thought that wasnt the end when i saw that smile😑
@@wisegirlandseaweedbrain250 i dont think it was a genuine smile or he was plotting anything.I think it was suppose to mean that he went insane, probably because of all the shit hed seen and went through so the snding would be the most realistic part of the movie
A couple questions. 1: Why didn't the eels eat Hannah when she was in the water, but they did eat her father?
2: What were the duplicate bodies in the tanks?
3: Why would taking Hannah to the outside world have made her menstruate? (maybe the real reason is that this experience caused her to forget a dose of "vitamins"?)
Exactly, I need to know!
1. I think the eels only eat dead people, they smelled the blood but realized that she was alive, so they didn’t eat her - and it maybe symbolizes that she is the “special one”.
2. I don’t know wtf that was about.
3. Also kinda symbolic, she drank her first beer, had her first dance, heard about periods for the first time = maybe thats why she know is a woman idk
She had menstruation because those events were a trigger. She felt aroused, felt like a woman for the first time, was around young boys etc. Escaping the childlike reality she Was forced to live.
@@steffna funny how the father could have done the same by bringing her to the outside world, let her mature and then married her a hundred years ago but instead locked her up and waited so long lmfao too counter productive
Your videos are heavy on plot synopsis, short on ending explanation.
I liked it :)
My thought exactly!
Was going to say the same, its a good synthesis but explains almost nothing...
I see this instead of watching the movies because ive got almost no time, and i get the main ideas
Slynch nobody cares, try staying relevant to the comment.
What are your thoughts on what happened after lockheart was in the iron lung. In one shot he's getting eels pumped into him, in the next he's sitting on a bench, staring at the alps (when Hannah gives him the ballerina). Did he escape the lung? Are the eels still in him? What happened to Pembrook?
Dan Murrans Pembrooke died. I think the Eels being pumped was just a form of torture. But who knows.
Joseph Pierce I think the eels where for making the vitamins, the sweat eel filled people made were the vitamins. But I wonder if he still has them in him or if they leave.
Dan Murrans from previous seens it when Lockhart was putting away his pee jar it shows some the jars have eels In it guess they swim and piss them out
I think it was Volmer or the other workers who let him out of the machine eventually. For me it seemed that every patient at the "wellness center" was "harvested" more than once, for example Mrs. Watkins who we saw in the room next to the iron lung room, looking rather dried out and exhausted. There was also the one screaming patient in the transfusion wing corridor, almost toothless. My theory is that as long as there was some "baby eel" filled water in the patient's body to keep them obedient, hypnotized almost, and as long as the patient's body lasted before eventually collapsing from the poisoned water, the doctor kept harvesting them. In the end, when the last harvesting was done, the used bodies were tossed away for being "dry as the mummies of Egypt". The patient in the transfusion corridor I believe was screaming, because s/he was harvested (for the last time) not long ago, so there was no eel water inside hypnotizing him/her into submission for the treatments. Somehow s/he had managed to survive the last harvest (maybe because of obesity?), but his/her body was already at its very limits, because only a few teeth remained anymore.
The eels I think will stay inside of him, but not for too long. After forcefully pumping the eels down a patient's throat, I don't really see a way to get them back? I think after every harvest, the eels are just left into the patient's stomach, and ingestion eventually takes care of the rest.
iRinnda that makes a lot of sense.
Here is my theory:
1) The hero dies (We see him floating in a tank after having lost his tooth.
2) The dad knows his daughter is in love with the hero. He takes his face.
3) He sets up a colleague to take his own face and pretend to consume his wedding.
4) He becomes the hero as the 'bad dad' gets killed off.
5) He goes off with his 'daughter', who loves him and will hopefully carry his child?
(This explains the fact that the hero has his tooth back and is seen alive even after haivng been seen floating dead. And that almost psycho smile).
What says ye?
Bruce Wayne nice
I agreee
@@abingpinkk9632 then why will Lockhart which this guy is saying Baron in disguise ever go to Mr.hatkins documents...and then uncover the truth before basically encountering them both when they were having sex?
This is the true ending explained
I was watching this movie and couldn't shake off the feeling that I was watching Shutter Island
I've been drinking the sweaty eel juice for the last 6 years of my life. It's called sugar-free Monster Energy Drinks and Starbucks coffee and I can't stop. It all taste like pure eel sh-t.
ErwinSchrodinger64 hey those monster ultra blues ain't no joke
I know a lot of people didn't like this movie, but I loved it.
Same here! I just loved the whole vibe and the plot of the movie, especially when they tried to relate everything with the history.
What was up with the smile at the end?
Certainly didn't look like a "I'm Free" smile.
Looks like hes a psychopath or taken over by Volmer.
Please explain.
Thanks.
He is happy that he got the girl from Volmer, you know like GOT EEEM
Sophus Someone above in the comments has a much better theory (that the "him" at the end isnt actually the real him) which IMO makes way more sense...
I agree the smile is super weird... it’s like it wasn’t him.
Ends up running with a loli! >~> dream come true!
JennyWas13 if u watched the movie it doesnt make sense. Who else would it be?they just killed the dr and escaped a fire and then that end scene. No time for amything to happen. I think dude just has a creepy ass smile and the director wanted a shot of it. And doing so it confused the fuck outa everybody
That creepy smile almost make me think that he don't needed the success in the company, because he knows the secret to eternal life now.
i still don't get why all the patients mobbed lockhart when he told them there was no cure near the end
I'd like to know that, too. As far as I can tell, the eel infected water made the patients submissive for taking the treatments willingly, but the mobbing scene looked like they had just turned into robots or zombies. The patients were acting rather normally otherwise, and I think it would have made more sense if all the patients just rose up and gathered on the Volmer's side, giving Lockhart accusing and questioning looks.
iRinnda it's because they are in denial and also the water is causing their brains to be screwed up most people would rather have false hope instead of no hope
I think its pretty metaphorical for how violent people can get in protecting what they hold most dear. Look at our current society. The protests and violent attacks on people of differing beliefs. Whether you believe one side or the other, violence when you're not physically threatened is not acceptable. But when you threaten a person's core worldview and most valued beliefs they will violently attack the person doing so because to them it is even more crucial than being physically threatened. To these old, wealthy people, the belief that there was a cure was their all and all. They could not bear the thought that there might not be one and sought to shut the mouth of the heretic.
Mike Duke - That is a very good explanation actually! I guess at that point I was already so shocked by the movie I wasn't able to think about it metaphorically on any level. :D
Parker MacMurray its because they wanted to believe lies and have a false sense of happiness
Also, I would have stopped drinking the water the minute I saw that little micro-organism in it!
Ikr how many do you need in your glass b4 it stops being a good idea
I was waiting for this. Thanks.

Yep
I think I figured the movie out all right, but I was having hard time trying to figure out how the eels actually work.
Apparently, there were little eels in the water, which the patients drank. There were also a lot of bigger eels used in the iron lung room, which were shoved inside of the patient's stomach. These eels didn't hurt (like bite and eat) people however, since Lockhart was alive after his iron lung treatment. When Hannah had her first period, a flock of big eels came swimming around her, but they didn't harm her.
Then we had eels that clearly ate people. The dead people were tossed into the water under the broken tower, and the eels ate them up with delight. Those same eels ate Volmer too, when he fell into their lake. That very lake I suppose is the aquaduct where the long living eels lived. And the long living eels were used in the iron lung treatment too, right? Because that's what made Volmer's vitamins special, right?
Then why didn't the eels eat people from inside out, or why didn't they attack Hannah in the swimming pool, if they were the same miraculous long living eels?
Yeah that's also what bothers me, but again I am also not exactly sure if I even understand how the production of the "cure" works and I don't think it is very well explained in the movie. It just seems the whole eel-thing is not very well thought through and is rather there because it is a very rational fear. But again if anybody has an actual explanation I'd be happy to hear!
I also think that the whole eel thing wasn't so carefully thought through because after all, the vitamins produced from the eels were not the cure for wellness. It was the old people coming to the sanitary who were looking for a cure for wellness, because even after becoming rich and successful business men and women they still felt unsatisfied, like there was still a void in them that prevented them to be completely healthy. The vitamins which were made partially out of the patients, were never given to them.
As the movie ends the viewers are kind of left with the feeling "So what was the cure for wellness?" but the truth is that there actually is no medical cure for it. It is the fact that only by living in the moment and caring for the people around your life you can enjoy life to the fullest, for no success in business can ever bring you as much satisfaction than loving somebody and being loved.
That at least is what I made out of the movie: The eel vitamins were only a source for a longer life (because Volmer was a psycho and obsessed with the pure incest bloodline), the actual cure for wellness is to live a fulfilling life, and it's up to everyone's own decisions how fulfilling they make their lives out to be.
iRinnda Well, I interpreted the title a different way, more cynical. People who aren't actually sick are beginning to think they are, due to the water, and long for a promised cure, thinking only by staying they will be cured. But there wasn't an illness to begin with, hence "cure for wellness". They are well, maybe unsatisfied with life, but well, but are led to believe they aren't. They are searching for a cure they don't need and are made sick by the doctor, who in this case literally cures wellness.
As for the eels, maybe they only feed upon dead people? Maybe they only eat dead meat, which is totally normal among some species, never hunting by themselves. So inside a person's body, there could be some reaction between their own liquids and something the eel, for example, carries on their skin.
valfaris25 - That's an interesting way to view it, and it works that way too! I gotta say the creators really manage to mind fuck us even with the title, which is kinda impressive. :D
The eels only eating dead meat is also a very good explanation. I don't know how "dead meat" we could call Volmer as he fell into the lake, since even though he was indeed dead in theory already, I don't know how long it will take for all the muscles and intestines to completely die. After all, not everything in the body stops the moment your heart stops beating, neither does the rotting start so rapidly... But then again, this was only a movie and we possibly are digging too deep into it. XD
Yeah, there are many ways to make sense out of the title, at wikipedia (at least the german version) I read it could also be understood as a pun, although I don't know exactly how.
Good point with Volmer not being all that dead when entering the water! I thought about that myself while typing my ideas yesterday, and was not too sure about how eating dead meat actually really works in animal kingdom. Aren't there vulptures making circles in the sky when an animal dies underneath them on the ground, waiting for it to be finally dead? As far as I know, they don't wait too long with eating then.
And on another note, at least Volmer's face tissue didn't look like it was still alive that much, and he got severely burnt before getting killed with that shovel, so his skin could totally fall in the category "something a dead meat eater would eat".
But yeah, you are possibly right about us digging too deep, maybe we already found better solutions than anything the creators themselves thought of xD
ending explained unfriended please I know its old but I'm still confused

*explains that there's eels/mosquito larvae in the water thats turning the frogs gay*
5:57 i cant believe they used a mosquito larva as a baby eel....wtf???
Is that what that was?! I was like since when baby fish so invisible you can't see them in a clear glass of water...
@@drennyvision6141 lmao, yeah, it's a wriggle
When I saw it I thought , hey a mosquito larva and it seemed legit.
Cheap 'special' effects. Love them as CGI
Some people are same that this movie is a cousin to the Bioshock video game. I kind of see what they mean but not the full aspect but the peoples affliction is the same I guess.
Anti Petrolhead nah
I did not see the full movie, but by this video - it has nothing to do with any of the bioshock. Motivation is very different for Bioshock - its to everyone act free. Here its to get one person live forever - veeery different.
Gore Verbinski was attached to a Bioshock movie adaption that fell through. He reused some of the concept art and set pieces in this film.
Such shh - no superser
It does have a BioShock like feel to it in a way.
I love that he can explain a whole film in like 10 minutes
The actor is handsome as hell! Please wake me up in the morning 😍
Hannah is *WOKE*
Jonathan Harker is equally sent abroad by his boss to visit a castle in the (carpathian) mountains. The mission is very important for the company so he can’t refuse. He also uses the train and observes the strange scenery and landscape closely. The owner of a castle is a very strange person named Count Dracula, who has powers to defy time. Other very strange things are going on too. The counts special cure for death is blood. Harkers predecessor Renfield went totally nuts there. Harker wants to leave but is prevented from that. ... I worked in Graubuenden Switzerland for three years. The Alps are an amazing place to be.
Thank you for this. This channel is awesome!
Yo Hannibal, wassup
You deserve awards. You are straight to the point, comedic, thorough and professional.
the mom dies shortly before he leaves on his trip, he is in the room when she is cremated, and is wearing the same suit so I dont think that scene takes place after the movie is over chronologically
deadmandevilman ,
I thought the same! >.>
Yes, you can see his luggage in this scene.
i'd like to believe she dreamed of his accident and died of shock.
Gore verbinski was set to direct a bioshock movie once upon a time and honestly i see parallels between this movie and some of the games.
The use of humans to get a valuable substance - Little sisters vs the sweat filtration.
The mind control - Would you kindly vs the waters seeming effects.
The pristine veneer that covered underlying darkness - the institution in ACFW and columbia in infinite.
The child/creation rebelling against the father/creator - Hannah and the baron vs Jack and Frank Fontaine.
Maybe this is him making up for that lol
Couldnt find any Big daddy parallels though
most confusing movie ever how do ppl come up w such plots
By drinking sweaty eel juice...
Drugs man
A C I D
mole so like why are you so angry. Her comment wasn't rude or mean it was just her opinion. If this is how you speak to people in real life I feel bad for the people who interact with you.
Go watch Mother!
I always wondered what would happen to Lockhart with those eels still in his stomach. One answer that someone provided was that since he was still alive, his body's natural functions would eventually digest the eels and in time, provide a natural healing process. The human body has some incredible filtering systems designed to remove contamination, just like the distilled perspiration that Volmer consumed.
Why you confused about that it's explained and they all have it done
I liked the movie. I'm just a bit lost on why Dane gave that creepy ass sinister smile lol
Alana Branch I'm thinking the same thing supposedly I heard from another you tuber that he's just happy to be free and that the water has drove him crazy lol
Alana Branch Because he was still hallucinating. Remember his teeth were actually drilled out. All the rest of the patients are happy too because they have hallucinated the same things.
Gage23 but he had his tooth back in that smile! I don't understand! I thought he became crazy..
Cause he caught the virgin daughter of the baron. Swiggity swooty!
yuet yee The doctors put fake teeth in to hide the fact that patients were losing teeth due to dehydration
You explained some things throughout the movie that I didn't understand but it wasn't the ending. This is a summary of the entire movie, not an explanation of specifically the ending.
ReMan yeah, just like every other foundflix ending explained.
ReMan well you do need to know the whole movie to understand the end
You can't just skip to the end...most of us haven't even watched the movie. So...
*Question:* Right, so the baron needed the drops for immortality, but he also wanted "pure blood" so he wanted to keep his daughter alive too but hang on a minute... If she drinks it she will he slowly, so you won't get to do what you want until ages after. So wouldn't it just have saved a bunch of time if he didn't give his daughter the immortality drink? And just let her age naturally?
Money Mule I assume the vitamins keep her docile
I think he viewed her as a child for so long...all her life. And only started to think of her as "Woman" when he saw her dancing and having drinks at the bar
Didn't she have a disease and only survived because shw was kept in the water? I think she needed it not to die
"an underground aqueduct"
you mean aquifer
I'm a pedant, great explanation :)
So as far as I understood the ealwater drains your life and the cure can heal you or make you immortal, thats probably why Lockharts foot healed back and his teeth grew back but they never explained the deal with the eals wtf are they like super eals ? This movie was incredibly well shot and had an awesome atmopshere but the ending was kinda predicable and too simple, also this movie felt VERY long for such predictable conclussion.
Vampires Crypt I think at 1st place he never broke his legs. The driver was well. The woman (patient) her teeth was also perfect, at the end she died
Vampires Crypt no he never broke his leg it was an illusion, if you woke up with a Cass on your leg an a doctor told you it was broken you would assume it was broken and use the crutches 😎
Vampires Crypt the eels must be related to the sea slugs that produce Adam in Bioshock! :)
*eels
Satanic Matrix Awareness tf
So if this is all true wouldn't that mean that the wellness center actually helped him get off his addiction of working?
Gavin Burke In a twisted sense, yes.
Gavin Burke it was his cure to wellness
The one that bother me the most is the unsettling smile at the end.
Not sure how to make it, or maybe it was just a bad acting
he found the "cure for wellness"- madness

SPOILER
- hannah is 200 year old girl
- the water is dangerous for human beings. but "filtered" with human body it gives you a very long life
- Lockhart tastes the "vitamins" wich is the water filtered. and says "it tastes like sweat seafood" (human urine/sweat distilled with that water in a proportion of 1%/99% respectively)
- hannah first menstruation has nothing to do with the town down or Lockhart. it was her moment, just that
I came. left a like. then left. watching tomorrow! ✌

pewpew wars cause it was night?
pewpew wars Do that for my channel~
then you came
That moment, when you have to explain a movie to your followers, and you realize there are at least 4.132 dumb ppl. Welcome to the age of youtube, instaram, pranksters, where reading a book, immagination and logic became outdated
My first interpretation is - The Guy who smiled at the end is not lockhart, it's the baron using lockhart's face. The baron may have done some diet to match lockhart's physique. The baron mentioned something like it's better if people are willing to do things that he wants rather than him forcing them to do it. The baron is aware that hannah is not going to have sex with him willingly so he used lockhart's face and created a scenario where he will save hannah. The person who hannah killed could be just one of the loyal servant serving the baron for a very long time. The baron might have decided to burn the whole facility so no one else but him and hannah and their future children will benefit from the vitamin that gives a person extended lifespan. After all the baron is the one who pioneered and invented that vitamin technology so he might have hidden some secrets about the formula of the life extending vitamin from his colleagues and other doctors working in the facility.
My second interpretation of the movie is that Lockhart was simply running away from all the pressure and stress of modern day life. He observed that rich and successful people worked hard and deal with all the pressure and stress of modern day life but in the end their life is still pointless & meaningless and they are still unhappy despite all the material success and wealth that they have. He saw that everyone is like living in a prison, a kind of prison that our modern day society enforced upon us; a society where material success is highly admired and valued the most, a society where everyone walks aimlessly towards something that is completely meaningless and all of us or most of us is trapped in this society and this society becomes the reality that people simply can't escape from. He noticed that life is too short and everyone is going to die in the end and he realized that success and wealth will only make sense if people are going to live for a very long period of time or live forever; but such thing doesn't exist. So he decided to run away from all the material success that our society promotes and from all the pressure and stress of modern day life. In the end he run away from all of it and he decided to live a simple meaningful life with the woman he cares about.
Raymond Ramos I think he had actually just gone a little mad. He'd just been through hell, seen and had a lot messed up stuff happen to him. It probably would drive most folk a little crazy.
Raymond Ramos This is the best comment I read until now. Thank you so much for sharing.
zunkwind - the movie gives the audience multiple interpretation. There are also loads of symbolism in the movie.

Whippybox_grHD! There are people who haven't seen the movie! These videos are mostly purely a "series" so I believe he mostly titles them "Ending Explained!" To be able to add all the videos to one playlist.
But why would people who haven't even seen the movie want to hear the ending explained? If I want to decide whether I want to check out a movie or not, I will watch a non-spoiler review, not an "ending explained" video.

@@unnamedindividual5157 doing stuff after so long is boring
I think I can explain why lockhart had both of his teeth back in the final scene, I remember a while back in the movie that the baron was saying that humans could not get the health benefits of the water unless it was propertly filtered, but back in the bar lockhart drank some of the filtered version that supposedly has healing properties witch could have been the cause of his teeth being restored, ofcourse there is still the baron theory also explaing the grinn at the ending
@Julius Caesar this movie is about eel juice, and your worried about how realistic the teeth magic is
nahh.. they just fix the tooth back into the socket thats why the nurse put the tooth in a milk.. thats actually acurate theory for tooth avultion treatment(but the movie made it too simple), and for the incisive tooth they probably done dental works like bridge or denture since they got dentist in the building
The new teeth were dental implants. That was the entire point of him losing his tooth to dehydration and then, when he was captured in the Transfusions Flugel, brought to the dentist's room to have his teeth fixed.
My dude literally just described the movie under 10 minutes. Sir, I just watched the movie and I'm not trying to remember it again. I'm trying to understand the why-s and how-s behind some scenes in the movie. There are a lot of things that remained unexplained.
This isn't an explanation, this is just a description.
I dont understand how his teeth grew back. Was his teeth actually really removed or was it just hallucinations which is why at the end of the movie he had normal teeth??
He has dentures I believe
I share my opinion with Jorge Zavala, he probably had dentures done after that.
It was said in the movie, that the patients teeth start to fall off because of dehydration (the water they drank was toxic with eels, and the patients were harvested by making them sweat in the iron lungs). I believe that to cover the patient's loss of teeth from the other patients, the sanitary's dentist made them all dentures when some teeth were lost.
I'm never drinking water again.
Lockheart actually foreshadows what is really in the "vitamins". When him and hannah was in the bar lockheart asks "hey what's that?" and she responds vitamins and lockheart asks for a drop of one and he says "It tastes like sweaty seafood".
They’re freshwater eels
@@bh1352freshwater fish and eels would still taste like seafood.
lockhart was definitely set up by the company when pembrook went “missing” or whatever
Man, you can breath between sentences. It's allowed. Try it.
its probably cut together like that
ZnXii it is
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Breathe*
maybe even drink some water between cuts
Quite frankly, the smile at the end seemed more malevolent in intent than just "I'm free!"
Hell, after all the weirdness that film contains, him being possessed or something would not have been a surprise. For everything else, I must admit that the film's bizarre editing really didn't help in understanding the context, so the early scenes about Lockhart's mother were confusing.
Although, I feel it's not a film I'd watch more than once to try and make sense of it.
I fully expected this movie to end like Shutter Island(considering it's...very similar)
Or a deviation of it.
He escapes and heads back where his job is fine and he's happier, only for something to appear, like a door disappearing before he realizes it's a dream, and he's still at the facility, before he stares at the camera and the movie ends. Some haunting shit like that.
Very interesting though, I still haven't seen it. It's gotten mixed to poor reviews lol
I haven't seen a comment like this, and correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't watched the documentary about this in a while, but, at 6:00 the lung-eel thing was used (made)in the late 1800 or 1900s for a disease or something from what I think was a war, to help people breathe. I really cant remember what it did exactly(I think it applied pressure for the lungs to work, like cpr)or where the documentary is on RUclips, but the machines are literally the same in the movie as in real life, or at least the original model. The documentary was about a man who was one of the last with the 'disease' still alive today, but I think he passed a few years afterwards and how he still needed to use it to live, eventhough it had been years since he started using it. I know I didnt do a good job describing it, but I couldn't stop thinking about it, and I loved that the movie included a real thing, they just used it differently. Also, please tell me if you find the documentary or know anything about it, cause I really want to find and watch it again, and sorry for making you read this, if you did.
I believe that all the “patients”, Lockhart included, when he was in his more brainwashed states anyway, were in a sort of hive mind, with the Baron as the leader. Hear me out okay, so they were all controlled via the water which had eels in, and what was the Baron mostly made of? It's hard to tell by the dim lighting, but his faced looked like a ton of eels. My evidence to back this up, is Lockhart’s dream, he has a dream of Hannah laying rather seductively in the bath, until he walks closer and sees eels I mean, why would he have a fantasy like that of her though, he doesn’t think of her like that, unless it was the Baron’s dream, no one else thinks of Hannah like that but the Baron. But, I hear you say, how would Lockhart be having the Baron’s dream, because everyone in the sanitarium was having that same dream that night, that’s why, thus a hive mind. I don’t believe the possessed theory at the end, the Baron, despite being completely evil and malevolent, they never show any sign that he’s a demon or a spirit of some kind, he’s immortal from the eels but not a demon, therefore he couldn’t possess anyone. However, what I theorise is that it is in fact Baron smiling at the end, because he is still in charge, somewhat, of Lockhart’s mind, like he’s still conscious of the hive mind despite his physical body dying. I know one thing for certain, judging by Lockhart’s character, that smile was completely out of character for him, whereas a smile like that seems to be a lot more consistent with the Baron. In my personal opinion that didn’t seem to be a “I got away,” smile, more of a “I won,” smile, and not I won against the villain; or, who knows, maybe he just did go completely crazy but it still doesn’t really explain that dream does it. It’s just a theory but interesting for me to explore none the less. Let me know what you think!
i'm at a loss as to the explanation of this movie but yours is the most plausible.
it's a smile of a possessed.
it's not Lockhart anymore.

Bro you just ran through a whole movie… I actually came here because I thought it was a twist in the end. I am not sure now but he had that crazy smile with perfectly normal teeth which were pulled out earlier in the movie. That drove me to think if he actuallt was delusional and set a perfectly normal institution on fire?
nah they fixed him up
