The Ring...can you explain some things to me? ~*~Danielle~*~

I just watched the movie The Ring today and I am confused by some of it. I'm sure some of this was answered in the movie but I may have missed it. If you haven't seen the movie you may not want to read this in case I spoil some of it for you.



Ok first of all, they said in the movie there was no way that the tape could have been recorded because there was no reflection of the camera in the film. So what was it then? Was the whole tape just Samara's thoughts or what?

I am also confused about why Naomi Watt's character and her son didn't die. I know she said it was because the tape was copied but I don't understand what that has to do with her not dying?

I am also confused about the horses in the movie. Why did they all drown? Did they ever say the exact reason?

Lastly, at the very end of the movie when she and her son are playing back the video she keeps telling him its alright and then he says something like, "What about the person we show it to, what will happen to them?" Is this supposed to mean they plan on showing the film to other people, I don't understand why they would do that.

Sorry, I am sure these things were answered. I should probably just watch the movie again but I had to return it to Blockbuster awhile ago. Thank you.

I think what happened is they tried to combine too much info into too short a movie. They never really answer a lot of questions that are arisen throughout the movie. I hope they don't try to sequel(sp?) this one.  
Date: 8/2/2003 6:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 22852    that whole movie confused me. As for the reason the woman and child did not die it is because they made copies of the movie so that means the girls story will be told over and over again. Which means she gets to keep killing. Heck at least thats what I think.  
Date: 8/2/2003 6:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 855    I think the reason she didn't die was because she figured out the curse before 7 days..the rest i'm not sure..but i will watch the movie again till i figure it out  
Date: 8/2/2003 6:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 855    no she did watch the movie not a copy..but she did figure all this info out...i think thats why she lived  
Date: 8/2/2003 6:47:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   Glad i'm not the only one confused, they should have explained this stuff better. The plot of this movie was great IMO, but you guys are right. Too much info in too little time.
Date: 8/2/2003 6:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 18527    the title "ring" alludes to the fact that it is an endless cycle. If you stop the cycle you die, so to live you have to perpetuate the curse. They didn´t die because they were going to pass along the curse. The horses drowned themselves because they became crazy with fear at seeing that Naomi´s character had been tained by Samara.  
Date: 8/2/2003 6:56:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   wow thanks Kethria, that did clear it up a bit
Date: 8/2/2003 7:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 40979    The horses don't drown . They were only sick. Or that is what my friend told me. And they do not die because when they made the copy they were helping her I guess or some thing.  
Date: 8/2/2003 8:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 33900    jUST WATCH IT AGAIN, IT IS ALL THERE...  
Date: 8/2/2003 8:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    her son as did she make a copy of the tape to keep it in circulation samara wants to continue the spread of the tape hence copying it keeps then alive  
Date: 8/2/2003 9:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 56293    Kethria explained it very well!! I had to watch the movie twice to totally understand it! I like it tho!   
Date: 8/3/2003 12:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 35720    I think everyone is confused by The Ring.  
Date: 8/3/2003 12:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 28190    You arent the only one that was confused with this movie.. Kethria explained it well though. I had to watch it twice to catch the meanings of a few things I dont think it is as good or as scary as people were saying it was though, but thats just me. hehe *hugs*  
Date: 8/3/2003 9:21:00 AM  ( Admin-DNL )   I honestly didn't think this movie was that scary either, more weird then scary. The part that did actually scare me though was when Samara came out of the TV set...I almost screamed lol.
Date: 8/3/2003 2:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    I had to watch it twice and have it explained to understand it.....even though I understood it after the second time I still thought it was lame LOL wish I had rented before I bought..oh well...that's what I get for listenin g to all the hype..  
Date: 8/5/2003 3:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 54946    I think its supposed to be a trilogy!
i am not totally sure tho...i just read that sumwhere
  
Date: 8/25/2003 6:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 59418    http://ringworld.somrux.com/faq2.htm - i found this site, hope it helps!  
Date: 9/20/2003 5:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 28670    If you ever want to see a movie that will scare your socks off, watch the Japanese version of the Ring. It's called Ringu...I just about poo'd when I saw it. *LoL*
I just about poo'd when Sumara came out of the TV, too!!
  
Date: 9/20/2003 5:07:00 AM  From Authorid: 28670    Also...I found that I could understand 'Ringu' a lot easier than 'The Ring'. Maybe it would help you to understand 'The Ring' more. It helped me a little.   
Date: 9/21/2003 5:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 62289    Ringu is soooooo much esyer to under stand
  
Date: 10/12/2003 3:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 52746    The kid didn't die because under her supervision, he made a copy of the tape to pass on. Once it was passed on, you're free of the jinx.  
Date: 10/12/2003 3:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 52746    I didn't understand it until I slept on it. Once I gave that bit of info to my husband, who watched it with me (he was confused, too), he understood.  
Date: 10/15/2003 5:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 30647    well thats why you should watch #2, #3, and the prequel, all of which i have not watched yet, but my friends have told me that they explain everything. but you have to get the japanese version with subtitles.  
Date: 12/2/2003 10:47:00 AM  From Authorid: 23886    LOL..I got confused in the movie too...i dunno how it ended lol , even though i saw it twice :P But i thought i was cool, and freaky :P  
Date: 6/7/2005 10:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 4887    Yeah, this movie is confusing. But it still scared me lol
