Frightened by the last 5 minutes~

I saw it 3 years ago and I was very impressed. I didn't dare to try the Japanese version at all.
Watching the US version, the process of understanding the little girl in the video from sympathy to rescue, the process is over, I thought it was safe, but finally found that what you rescued was evil without cause. From the beginning to the end, only the process of the little girl's isolation and killing was given, but it did not explain the reason why the little girl had to go through all this. I was really frightened by the evil for no reason, but this is also the highlight of the film, the infinite imagination. I always feel that the next sequels of the Japanese version are actually equivalent to giving people a safe answer, but I don’t think so.

    Although the stunts have been restrained, everything in the US version is a little too strong and sophisticated, and it doesn't seem like a place where this kind of thing will happen.

    The American version has tried to deal with this underworld story as far as possible, but the Japanese perversion is doomed to the yin spirit of the story itself.

The Ring quotes

  • Dr. Grasnik: She wanted a child more than anything, poor Anna. They tried hard for years, but sometimes it's just not meant to be. Then one winter they went away, when they came back it was with Samara, adopted they said, never said from where; said the mother died of complications. But they had their baby, they had their horses, everything was fine, until Anna started coming to see me. Said she was suffering visions, seeing things, horrible things, like they'd been burned inside her. And it only happened around Samara, like the girl put them there.

    Rachel Keller: Were you Samara's doctor too?

    Rachel Keller: Was there anything wrong with her?

    Dr. Grasnik: You mean medically?

    Rachel Keller: I mean whatever you mean.

  • Noah: [Referring to the tape] Look I'm sorry but I'm not gonna get all hung up on some high schooled rumor.

    [Rachel gives him a weird look]

    Noah: What are you thinking?

    Rachel Keller: I'm thinking this is the part where I tell you that you're a slug who never finishes anything and then you say I'm an obsessive bitch. Then I storm out all pissed off, kicking myself for ever thinking that you could just GROW UP!
