Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 4, 2003 It would seem silly for this to be called Seven 2. Unless there are seven main characters and seven other lots of things. I am sure they will do the same thing they did with Along Came the Spider and Kiss the Girls. I believe those two were based on books, and the books had the same main character. There wasn't any studio flippity-funk there. I think the author was James Patterson, because when one of his new books came out with the Alex Cross (?) character came out, he talked about how he was so good at writing. What a pompous chode. Two very, very good books. I remember liking the movie KtG, but ACaS was shit, pure and simple. It had nothing to do with the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted January 4, 2003 The whole idea is they don't know their dead. He appears in places.......like the boy's house because he would have never been let in. It wasn't as obvious as you say. I get it.....you're good at figuring it out........not everyone is that's why the movies are made. You don't get it. It's not that I'm good at figuring it out. It was impossible NOT to figure out. The worse part is that they could've very easily fixed that movie. Take out that first scene and show it later as a flashback instead of right at the beginning, cut out that dinner scene between Willis and his wife, or better yet...cut out the wife completely. That and a couple of other little things would've kept the story the same and had the ending be much more of a twist. Look at the Others. The exact same story but it was done right. But I think you're wrong. His wife said, "Happy Aniversary" which was a tribute, but could be construed as her anger and why she didn't talk during the rest of that scene. There really wasn't any other big scenes of interraction between them and that was good that it was kept to a minimum. Leaving the "how did he get in the kids house" thing open also left doubt in your mind as to him being dead. Most of the other scenes didn't require him interracting with others which was also good. I think you're reading too much into it after the fact. No, it's not after the fact. I was watching it was some other people and as soon as he got shot, I wrote the ending to the movie down on a card and told them I already knew it and would show it to them at the end. So I watched all these scenes already knowing he was dead. So it's not like I saw the whole movie and later on complained about it. I complained the whole way through the bomb. Though all the other people figured it out right from the first scene too so my whole Karnac gimmick backfired on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2003 Well the fact that A LOT of people didn't figure it out means the movie wasn't pointless since there will always be those who will get into it. There will always be those who figure out the ending early, but those are usually a small amount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The beauty of that movie, is that it actually TRIED to make you THINK you knew the ending, and then just kicked you in the ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 4, 2003 No, I love the Usual Suspects, it's just that they outright lied to you. You usually don't see that, and I find it an innovative bit of filmmaking. It's a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
