nc lp THATS WHAT I REALIZED AT THE END OF THE MOVIE! Because in his farmhouse, they found his sister’s husband HALF EATEN

No the dog appear during the day. It took a piece off Gerald right then and there.

@Mike well, the dog was real, that was layed right at the beginning. But it's not impossible they werent both eating him. Dog at day, him at night. Atleast he tooked the ears.

that's not scary but ok

@Mike exactly lmaooo and even then it wouldn't be scary or traumatizing. Jeffrey dahmer existed

McKenna Riggins WOW; I didn’t see like that but you’re right.

I thought that too, that's why they'd put coins on people's eyes. I think it was intended.

I think the moonlight man was just really surprised that she wasn’t scared at all and was just giving him the ring. he thought of any other reaction to his appearance but not this reaction. so he let her go

I had a similar ideia

That's a brilliant observation.

@@slevinchannel7589 Aw, sweet! I love non sequiturs!

You should check out Antichrist. It's kind of the same premise. A husband and wife go to a cabin to reconnect and everything goes terribly wrong. Very unsettling movie.

Him sucking her feet was the only jump scare & it effing scared tf outta me

I like this type of horror, instead of trynna get a cheap jump scare they rely on visual storytelling and what not.

Nonono man, don't take it at face value. The moonlight man is only 'real' in so far as Jessie now accepts her trauma. He's a symbolic representation of what's scary for her to confront. His eyes are ecliptic which is to say he represents the feeling of the memory of Jessie's dad at the lake. He's not "real" when they're in public. That just means she's opened up to the outside world again. Oh, and the sunglasses at the end is a beautiful way of showing she's learned from the experience. But anyways, just think about it, what would be the point of the moonlight man being real? There is none. It's symbolic. It's the "plot carrier" of her inner journey. It makes her transformation relatable.

@@MRSoefeldt that makes sense. I think i have to watch it again.

@@mirvang Yes, me too! I think the dog in the beginning too isn't "real" either per se. It's just a symbolic representation of the woman pointing out that there is a problem, but that Gerald doesn't listen to her. The only thing "real" in the movie is the fact that they go to the lakehouse, that Gerald dies, and that Jessie escapes. Everything that happens throughout is a contemplation on trauma.

@@MRSoefeldt yeah maybe Cuz doctor's also said that she's been through a trauma

@@MRSoefeldt That's possible. But isn't it also possible that the Moonlight Man WAS intended to be real?

I think men routinely underestimate how terrifying rape is for women.

@@EosFunk *I think some people routinely underestimate how terrifying rape is for the victim.

@@EosFunk it's more about not understanding what rape is and that it is rape.

yes, every analysis I've seen has implied she was willing to take part in the handcuffs. she wasn't, and that adds so much more to the story for me. and in the book it was mentioned more in the movie, the book is better in my opinion

he just wanted a hug

only moment where my mind was gone crazy

But I didn’t understand what he said in the quart room to her, “you’re not real!” ??

@@Petaurista13 lol

WillowRustle64 makes the part of the movie where she first sees the Moonlight Man even scarier since the giant eerie looking grave-robbing man was ACTUALLY in the house

My wife's theory was that the dog never came in the house, the moonlight man was there the entire time and because of the trauma of witnessing what he had done to the corpse of her husband, her brain used the dog she saw before as a way to cope with what was happening to her. Later to come to terms with the presence of the moonlight man, along with her past childhood trauma.

The dog was real and eating Gerald during the day but moonlight man was eating Gerald at night.

what???????

@@moneygrabber6720 I thought so. Bcus in her recap in the end the dogs pae prints are in the blood along with the Moonlight mans footprints too. After the moonlight man first showed up scaring away the dog I'd like to think the rest of the 'dog' scenes were the Moonlight Man.

Paw prints*

But he supposedly only likes males so he wouldn’t eat her right?

Nicole The Author what

In the dark and in her delirious state, she imagined him to be larger than he actually was. But thematically it works because she's found her own voice and stood up to the monster haunting her

In her childhood memory, when she and her family went to their beach house she remarks, "The house is smaller than I remember". Then her dad replies "Because you're bigger". So I think she repeating the same line when meeting Moonlight Man in court conveys that she's much a more developed and wiser person than she was when she last encountered him in the cabin.

@@Commander_Shepard. exactly

Commander Shepard Damn. Didnt see that coming. This movie is the kind of movies you would love to see it more than 1 time . When she said he looks smaller in the courtroom i was looking at the surface.

Nae same watched this movie at night and was terrified to go to sleep, it was so bad I locked all the windows and doors as well as my bedroom door and stayed up all night.

Im glad they didnt have children ..im scared if they got a girl, god knows what Gerald would do, maybe he'll be like Jessie's father or worse ..he does have a rape fantasy

@Fresh Beginnings but he COULD BE. With a history like his with his rape fantasy he most likely would and im not saying people cant change but theres a chance he CAN be an abuser, i mean look at jessies dad he was so sweet and kind to his family but did that to jessie ..it just goes to show it can come from anyone and with that rape fantasy of his he has a higher chance of being one(abuser)

Fresh Beginnings just an old man but then again no one told her to marry him I guess that’s the price she paid in the end...

Fresh Beginnings Gerald is a father replacement for her father, she married a man just like him, because she married into the only dynamic she knew as a result of the abuse she suffered at her father’s hands.

The Outsider she simply realized the mistake she had made.

Idk man, it would be purty tough to do that without the help of the other.

It's Stephen King we're talking about 😂

I had to look away from the video when they showed it. De-gloving is horrifying, which is the term for what was happening. I assume that she didn't have a way to dislocate her thumb. And given the way the cuff was dragging on her skin (what i saw) it seems Gerald probably had them tighter than normal. More likely she would have lost her hands from bloodloss if they were that tight but, can't have a visually horrifying scene like partial de-gloving with logic :D

@akidin06 you forget that the handcuffs were really tight. The hallucination of her dead husband even said that she would only break her wrist. Its impossible in this situation to get out the way you mentioned

Breaking the bed would have been way easier.

I was thinking the same thing but it said they were reinforced, still though how hard could it be? Reinforced beds usually mean beds for fat people, not military grade invincible. You'd think with enough time and kicking using all your weight and muscles behind it you'd be able to loosen if not straight up break it. Honestly looks like she could just try standing and sliding them right over the top but it's hard to tell for sure.

In the book the top is flared iirc. But I do feel she could have snaked her body between the bed and wall. Elbows on bed. Feet on wall. Push.

I know she's an undersized middle-aged or post-middle age woman in context but even still. It couldnt have been that hard to break it, especially with the threat of death lingering over you, I imagine that'd give you quite an adrenaline rush. Even if it was hard, I feel like it still would have been both physically and psychologically easier to break reinforced wood than it was to literally rip the skin off your hand.

@@wesleyprince3465 exactly

@@wesleyprince3465 yes, but by the time she was desperate enough to try just brute force, she was exhausted and dehydrated. Maybe at the start, in the adrenaline filled moment when her husband died, she could’ve, but after that, she became too weak.

@akidin06 yeah but that doesn't hold him back killing her. In one scene you see how the police is smashing open his apartment where '' mommy and daddy'' were sitting on chairs beheaded. I guess he's no business with annoying women. Her insanity and calm state saved her for sure

TheRandomness402 -play you got a friend with me

I prefer the movie's ending. Despite it being a horror movie, I was left with a sense of peace after watching the film. I wasn't scared seeing the Moonlight Man without the glowing eyes/in the courtroom, he just looked like a person (a person with a deformity and severe mental health issues, but still just a person, not some scary monster). I just finished it for the first time and, as I previously mentioned, I feel really serene. Seeing Jessie face her trauma (the flashbacks and also again in the courtroom), using her past to help her in the present (the middle/the escape), and living with it rather than burying it (the foundation she made and having a pretty productive life) was really therapeutic for me. Additionally, her realization that what she saw was real, and that she wasn't crazy, made me really happy. People who have suffered from abuse, and trauma in general (depending on the situation) can do this "self-gaslighting" thing (that's what I've been calling it anyway) where they may tell themselves that they're crazy or that they're being dramatic or whatever sort of self-doubting notion. It's something I experience due to some things in my past and seeing her stopping that cycle of self-doubt was really empowering. It's been hard for me to convince myself that certain things that have happened to me aren't my fault or that someone really is being abusive and that I'm not being dramatic/emotional or that just because I didn't experience the worst-case scenario, that doesn't make what I've gone through any less horrible. Those are all thoughts that bounce around I my head from time to time, and while it's gotten better over time, I've always wondered if I'd ever stop thinking those things, and maybe I always will to an extent, but Gerald's Game gave me hope. It touched me in a way no other movie has, I think it's a beautiful story. I'm sure most people won't walk away from it thinking the same things I am, which is honestly a shame because I think this movie is so so much more than a horror movie.

@@manicmax7909 Today I watched this movie and I was looking for this comment because everyone is telling that they got scared when they came to know that the moonlight man was real but I was actually relieved when I came to know that he was real and it didn't make me scary from then on.

*D I S G U S T A N G*

It's a man thing. When male authors can't think of new, interesting, realistic, or intriguing ways to flesh out female characters, their immediate go-to is rape/molestation. It's so fucking old, tired, and cliche. It's also classic use of sublimation. From a psychological standpoint, dude clearly has weird dark sexual thoughts and/or urges and instead of acting them out describes them in grisly sordid detail. Because that is the only socially acceptable ways to enact such fantasies.

Yeah, I'm glad you acknowledge it. I like that this film has a good message and a cool, spooky vibe but it seems almost everyone is so hush-hush about the sexualizing of underage people in most of his works. Some stories every so often I could understand such a theme since it's traumatizing but in so many? Gets pretty tiresome and I think it says something about the mind of King. Also why does he use so many things tied to menstruation and a woman's views on her own body for a seemingly negative or random reasons- not that such things are cause for concern but they're reoccurring themes. An author's choice ofc but I don't believe that it's purely for the sake of a shock factor. While I'm at it, I don't like that The Moonlight Man is "disfigured". People born with birth defects aren't innately sinister. The physically deformed often scare those who are not although it shouldn't and it feels like a cheap, dirty scare for a writer of King's esteem to take.

I’ve always thought the same thing. But he also made a living writing about taboo stuff in general

@@FeministCatwoman yh i bet you can write better

ChimichangoBOOM exploiting childhood trauma is common in horror. The fact that there are people out there who related to the lead probably made this movie 1000x better for them. True horror knows how to get it's audience.
