The Village

[ClaireStan]

can anyone explain this film to me - the twist at the end

[WoWo]

Perhaps you could tell us what you don't get... didn't think it was at all difficult to understand.

Not trying to avoid the question but protecting those who might not have seen it yet.

if you havent seen it and just want to know what the twist is. It's simply that the film is set in the present day and the village was set up by a support group who wanted to reject the horror of modern life. The monsters in the forest were really the elders dressed up to stop the others leaving the village to discover the fact.

LOOK AWAY IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING............

The elders all met at berevement councilling (proly in the 1970' judging by the clothes in the pic) after they all lost someone they love. The main elder (John Hurt) was a professor (son of a very rich man called Wlker) who wanted to try and experiment so he led them all off to set up a community based on old-fashioned values,zero crime and suchlike made the children think they were living circa 1900. To stop ppl leaving they dressed as those dodgy looking creatures and made up tales of death. At the end she climbs the wall to find they are living in a 'Wildlife Sanctuary' which, as you can see by the name on the Landrover, is owned by a company called Walker. They are actually living on a designated piece of land owned by John Hurts (characters) father. This is all pretty clear in the last 10 mins or so at the end of the film.

Have just seen The Village and have to say that I was very disappointed. Having watched other films directed by M. Night Shyamalan, I thought his latest film was not up to the same standard.

[doomey]

alas no, this film was not up to the standards of previous Night films.

If you didnt see the twist coming..doh!
I figured about half way through that was going to happen!

The question is, what COLOUR WAS HE?
