the cab driver looked so tired, he's like "attempt number 575, lets see if she finally gets it"

Did he really just casually ask us if we wanted a “Thirteen Ghosts” episode like we haven’t been commenting and asking for one for the past 2yrs

I swear I think triangle is one of the most underrated horror movies

ya'll ever think that Death gets tired of taking the same people over and over again? like "oh boy, another Jess. i wonder what her story will be..."

Jess: kills herself and ends the loop and breaking time and space Purgatory: *NO* this isn't how you play this game

All I heard was this Jess, our Jess, another Jess, all that Jess

jess is stuck in purgatory for failing as a mother and abusing her son. BOOM.

Part of a different theory I read is that the reason why they didn't find Heather after the storm was because she was the only one to have survived the wreck.

If I found a message in blood that told me to go somewhere I would avoid that place at all costs

Triangle Rectangle, the sequel Line, the prequel Dot, origin story Pyramid, the final chapter

When you realise the movie is still going on. Still! Longest running film.

Jess apologises to Graig when she first appears on the dock is because she knows he is going to die but she anyway chooses to do it as she wants to save her son but soon she forgets about it after waking on board the Triangle....

Greek mythology nerd here. The guy who pushed the rock up the mountain in the Underworld was Sisyphus, a mortal king who cheated death, so the ship's name Aeolus isn't a reference to that. You were right that Aeolus was the god of the winds. Just guessing here, but the ship being named after him might be a reference to his involvement in the Odyssey, where he puts all the winds in a bag except the one that will blow Odysseus home. However, the sea god Poseidon is angry at Odysseus (for blinding a Cyclops who just so happened to be Poseidon's son), and so is trying to make sure Odysseus never gets home. So he convinces Odysseus's crew that the bag of winds is actually full of gold and they open it. They're literally in sight of Ithaca, Odysseus's home, when the winds come raging out and blow them all the way back to Aeolus's palace. Aeolus refuses to give him another bag of winds because he believed to have such bad luck, Odysseus had to be cursed by the gods. So my guess is the name of the boat is a reference to this: coming so close to home only to wind up right back where you started. You could even go further and say that Jess is Odysseus (who coincidentally also had a son he was trying to return home to), cursed by an oceanic supernatural force (in this case the Bermuda Triangle) to come just within sight of home only to be swept right back to where she started. It's also worth pointing out that, similar to Jess, Odysseus becomes the only survivor of his crew.

When i die i want this dude to explain my whole life at the funeral lmao. I love his voice and the way he talls

This kinda reminds of the White Bear episode of Black mirror. Getting punished over and over yet forgetting you went through it each time. Its so that they don't get used to the torment and actually try fighting every time, even though they'll never win.

I watched this movie a long ass time ago but just rewatched it. This time I noticed that in the car crash scene, there's the body of the Jess she killed at the house in her dress, and get son, but when the camera pans to her, the visual tone immediately changes. It gets really dark all of a sudden and there's some ominous music. The "driver" is clearly "Death" or something like that and this time loop she is continuously in is her personal version of Hell itself. Reliving the worst events of her life over and over and over for eternity.

This movie is a complete mindfuck

Last Shift sounds like something I'd like to hear about.

If you think about it, it's not a punishment for Jess, she's willingly choosing to go through the process over and over again because she knows that this is only chance that she can be with her kid again even though it won't end pleasantly everytime.

The key to understand the film is this word - Sisyphus Do you remember the scene where they talk about Sisyphus , Son of Aeolus? If not, then watch the film again because all of it will start making sense when you have understood the story of Sisyphus, who was the son of Aeolus. The names of these two characters appear more than once the film. Aeolus is the name of the ship they are on. So it is very important. So, what’s the big deal with this name? Well, let me tell you the story of Sisyphus - Son of Aeolus. Sisyphus made a promise to death but he broke it. So death punished him by giving him a task. He had to move a rock up a hill. But as soon as he reached the top, the rock would fall to the bottom again. And he would have to take it to the top again. This was a never ending task because as soon as he reached the top, the rock would fall back to the starting place and he would do it all over again. It was an infinite loop. Is it starting to make some sense now? This is what's happening in Triangle. Jess was a bad and abusive mother so she was being punished. The loop started a long time back and she is stuck in it forever. There are many hints throughout the film. No matter how many times she thinks she broke free, she is still stuck in the loop - As evident by the dead birds on the seashore after the accident. No matter how many changes she makes, she realises that she has done it before. When the accident happens and her son dies, she takes a cab and decides to go back to the yacht. She thinks she will fix everything because now she remembers things and will avoid it the next time. When she gets down from the cab, she promises the driver that she would come back. The driver says - So, I will keep the meter running? You promise you will come back, right? The mysterious taxi driver represents the devil or the ferry man who wants to take her away. He reminds Jess that she has killed her son, who is now dead. He tells her that if she accepts this fact he can take her away. But as we see Jess continues in the loop so that she can eventually go home to see her son again. (She will probably break free if she stops trying to save her son and accept the reality.) Now the questions that bothers most of the people - If she remembers everything, why can’t she save her son during the next loop? Well, that is because whoever is doing this is making sure she forgets everything. When does she forget everything you ask? She forgets everything the moment she takes a nap in the Yacht. Watch the movie again and you will notice that when she wakes up, she looks bewildered. After that, she does not remember the Ship at all. Now, the good thing about art is that everyone interprets it in a different way. There are so many theories but this one made the perfect sense to me.

The ship was Silent Hill the whole time. We love an extended universe.

Sphere The Cube Triangle Shapes are dangerous

90% of the people I've talked to thought there's only one Jess who goes through 3 cycles (newly onboard --> killing mask woman --> becomes mask woman). But there are actually TWO different Jess on the ship going through SIX stages instead of 3.

I watched this movie when I was 7 years old and I’ve been looking for it for the longest time... all I remembered was a girl pushing a guys head into a nail, the necklaces falling, and the potato mask. Finally, after 11 years... I found it again :)

If the body’s don’t disappear doesn’t that mean there’s eventually going to be a huge pile of body’s. Bodies which the people will see and not go on the boat

It was Sisyphus, not Aoelus who had to push the rock for eternity.

I have always been intrigued by this movie. My take on Jess repeating the loops was at the end when the driver asks her if he can give her a ride....when she thinks for a moment, and then says take me to the harbor, knowing what she was going to have to endure... I always felt she was choosing to go and do it all again to be able to see her son alive again. She was willing to do it all over and over to be able to see him alive, and thats the only way she could achieve that. Thats always been my interpretation anyway. Exactly right on the driver being the ferryman..leaving the meter running for her. In greek mythology a coin was laid over each eyelid before burial so the dead would be able to pay the ferryman Charon to carry their soul across the river of styx. Excellent film.

I love FoundFlix's interpretation of this movie. I would add that the way to break the loop is for Jess not to kill herself when she comes full circle. There are parts of us I think we'd all like to get rid of, but we are who we are. As such, if Jess had CONFRONTED herself instead of KILLING herself, she'd break the loop. Sometimes we have to take a hard look at the person we are and just say, "I'm messed up." Throughout the entire movie, she's hiding from herself in some capacity. Darting from the mirror, the hall way, even putting on the mask, all indication of hiding. I believe had she given herself a stern talking to when she came full circle, to let her see she was about the lose her son, then it would have changed. The reason being is because she would have told herself about her mistakes. She had a unique opportunity to have a future version of herself meet her. Hopefully her former self, would have learned from her future self's mistakes. Then she could hopefully make different choices. Maybe. Maybe not. When she killed herself, she STILL wasn't thinking about her son. She was thinking about the ugly picture of who she was and she wanted to destroy it -- sort of like Dorian Gray. I believe this is proven when, while her son is hollering and screaming (can you blame him? He just saw his mom kill his mom MIND BLOWN!) she's trying to make him be quiet because it's affecting her. STILL showing that she's more focused on her desires than her son. Not that I blame her because kids making a lot of noise when you're trying to concentrate can be aggravating. But despite what she already knew, she still make the same mistakes because she refuses to confront herself. That's why loop continues as she avoid being honest with herself, the one person you should be honest with.

Jess can't "accept" that she can't save her son because she'll eventually forget the previous events. That's why the punishment and revelation falls flat. What's the point of eternal torment if she doesn't know she's being tormented and when she does figure it out she's "killed" and forgets, only to repeat the cycle with a vague sense of deja vu?

I believe the loop all started when Jess gets mad at her son Tommy and actually ends up killing him. The time on the clock when she starts hitting him for making a mess is the same time that’s frozen on her watch and on the clock on the ship when Greg clarifies that it’s actually 11:30. Which to me seems like the time that’s frozen is the time this all began for her. It’s her purgatory time. She’s stuck in purgatory constantly living the same nightmare over and over to get back and fix things to save her son that she killed. And I believe the cycle repeats when she is faced with the taxi driver because he says something like “the boy can’t be saved” which is giving Jess the option to quit the loop and move on to death but as we know Jess chooses to continue the loop in purgatory to try and fix what she did.

I just watched the movie and I hate to quibble but I think it is important to the movie, Sally doesn't call Jess a psycho, she calls her a schizo, which leads me to think Jess may have suffered from schizophrenia and therefore may have been hallucinating the events after her son's passing(?)

I'm not finished the video yet, but i think the theme of the movie has to do with making a change in yourself/ your behaviour. Jess tries to change to be a better person/mother and even tries to do away with her old self, but she inevitibly circles back to impatient and abusive outbursts in a loop.

Do thirteen ghost, that was one of the scariest movies when I was a kid.

The cycle resets and she forgets everything when she falls asleep in the boat and in the cab on the way to the harbor as if every time she falls asleep she forgets everything and gets disoriented. The ferry man "Charon" was giving her another chance to move on to the afterlife but her being attached to her son she only wanted to bring him back. Remember when she said her son was her world? Thats because he was all she had. When she fell asleep on the boat and had the dream of her waking up on the beach was the past repeating itself in her dreams but she doesn't remember because of the whole memory reset, and so the cycle continues to repeat over and over for all eternity. In Greek mythology Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra. He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. She must have really been a bad mom to her son and the punishment made her feel guilty and she also cheated death by not going back to the cab "the ferry man" so therefor she is stuck in this cycle for all eternity. Sisyphus was punished because he cheated death twice, Jess also cheated death twice both times right after she woke up, the first time on the boat she didn't drown and the second time when she never goes back to the cab who represents the boat of Charon. In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, Charon or Kharon the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead. A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was sometimes placed in or on the mouth of a dead person. Some authors say that those who could not pay the fee, or those whose bodies were left unburied, had to wander the shores for one hundred years, until they were allowed to cross the river. In the catabasis mytheme, heroes - such as Aeneas, Dionysus, Heracles, Hermes, Odysseus, Orpheus, Pirithous, Psyche, Theseus and Sisyphus - journey to the underworld and return, still alive, conveyed by the boat of Charon.

I also believe that the only way to finish the loop is to accept who she really is because I notice that the other JESS in the ship kinda looks like her other personality because think about it if all of herself work together there will be no killings and no deaths. Also, in the end, the driver is kinda giving her the option of whether she will accept the ride or accept her faith(death) but then she accepts the ride to save or see her son again or probably to change her faith (which looks like she continued to cheat death reason for her to experience the punishment) which continues the loop.

Why is no one talking about the creepy vinyl music player. What if she had removed it? Would it break the loop?

This is the kind of movie that I've seen when I was little and think about every so often trying to figure out what happened.

I believe our Boy Foundflix made a little mistake here: Aeolus is indeed the god of wind, but he didn’t have to roll a rock up a mountain. That was Sisyphus.

I'd love to see a groundhog day style sequel to this film where Jess learns to love herself and not solve every problem with violence.

I think we're missing a big part. the ship aeolus is a reference to sisyphus. They explain it in the movie but the reason Sisyphus was condemned to pushing the rock up the mountain was not because he "cheated" death (like how jess walks away from the car crash alive) but because he broke a PROMISE with death. When the crash happens and the taxi driver shows up and drops her off, he asked her to please come back to which she replies she "promises" clearly breaking the promise just as Sisyphus. So she didnt cheat death but broke the promise to return which presumably means accepting her death and going into the after life. Which answering the last question i believe the loops starts when the car crash happens because jesse was supposed to die there Edit: another theory that i thought about was the reason the crash happend was because she was distracted with her son, who just watch his mother kill his mother and saw a seagull get hit by the car. So understandably he's probably very emotional causing jess to be emotional because she repeatedly says she wants to be different and that shes gonna be a better mommy and so seeing her son cry isnt a good feeling. Taking her eyes off the road to calm her son, she crashes killing herself and the kid. Now going back I BELIEVE the turning point of her murdering herself was when she slapped the son (WHEN HE DROPPED THE PAINT) Causing her to rethink her choices and get rid of that mommy to be a better mommy. But the REAL QUESTION is, would the son have dropped the paint if he didnt get spooked by a copy of his mother? SO REALLY SHE CASUED THE LOOP AND THE LOOP CAUSED HER

The band was also playing the same song as the record player on the liner

The Jess in the end of the movie is actually evil Jess. She'll be shot by Jess two in the head and later beaten and tossed overboard (which could then explain the memory loss)

11:30 so the loop might end when the ship is full of lockets and no one can get on board lol

I find it interesting that Jess's only point where she could break the loop in a way she wants Is the one where she will always fail. She promises she'll never get angry like that at her son again. But her breaking that promise causes the crash that sends her back into the loop

Aeolus was actually the god of the winds/storms. He gifted Odysseus a bag containing the winds, which was opened by one of the shipmates, and sent their ship back to the island they came from. Sisyphus is the son of Aeolus who was sentenced to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity, only to watch it fall back down, as punishment for cheating death.

Thank you for bringing back the viewer’s choice ending explained. You’re the best.

See, if I was stuck in a time loop and found a whole pile of notes telling me to kill everyone, and they were all written by me, I would conclude that trying to kill everybody _obviously_ isn't going to work. Actually, wait... Who wrote that note in the first place? Because it's the exact same note Jess wrote on her first turn of the loop just to confirm that it was her handwriting and that was before she decided to go slasher villain on everyone. So, _that_ doesn't make any sense. o__O

Yes I took it like the end with the crash was actually how it first started, she did on that day die and cheated death to try and fix it. Thus starting the loop and the movie and from there we piece it together until we get back to that accident and realise she's been at it for a long time now and it keeps repeating. So no matter what she attempts to change she can't avoid the fate that she's been dealt and each time death gives her the same choice knowing she will pick the same option. It is essentially a movie about purgatory. She cheated death so now she lives this loop for all eternity. Only thing that makes this movie bad is she's not a likeable person, so in the end we just don't feel bad for her and they never went into further detail outside of the ship to how the loop effected the other members. Like why are they part of all this?

When Jess "loops" at the end after the car crash, wanting to change her sons fate, is almost like being reincarnated, losing all her memories of the incident, until something triggers them.

This movie is THE closest definition to Hell I’ve ever seen put to screen.

I love that skit in the beginning, so random but got a good chuckle.

Now I'm wondering if these people were really Greg and his friends somehow caught in Jess's loop, figments of Death's creation specifically for this punishment, or if they were caught in their own cycle of perpetual deaths, and Jess's constant memory wiping has prevented her from noticing that this isn't the same guy she met at the diner.

As an aerospace engineering student, I can confirm that not only are triangles terrifying, but so is every other shape.

Last shift looks like that grudge movie so imma vote for that

Well done for explaining this so well, I had to watch it a few times to understand it all

Thank you for introducing me to this movie! I paused about five minutes into the video and watched it for myself- It was 10000% worth it

The beginning of the movie is the end of the movie The triangle is actually a infinity loop .... Also the music in this movie is so fitting for it...serene ... Mysterious... haunting

I would like to hear Last Shift, I never heard of it

I absolutely loved this movie! It was so crazy and it was def one where when you watch it again you notice different things. This movie was super long but I really liked it, the suspense was amazing! &+ just when you think it's over its not. Awesome! So happy you covered this one!

I love this guy, he's the best narrator and the funniest guy I've ever seen on KZfaq 👏

Am I the only one who didn’t think they’d like this channel then ended up binge watching like every single video 😂😂😂

Triangle is the most underrated of my favorite movies. Shits way deeper than ppl think.

The phrase "You became what you swore to destroy" is this movie

So my theory is even though we don't see it on screen, Jess accidently killed her son by physically hurting him, put his body in the duffle bag in the trunk of car but died in a car accident leaving Florida to bury the body (hence the sign). She was frantic talking to him even though he is dead and wracked with guilt that she was too distracted while driving or intentionally crashed her car as a form of suicide. Her boy is in heaven but she is in a hell of her own making separated from him. This is why she returns to her house and kills the Jess in the soiled sundress before the original Jess can kill her son. Even when she tries to change the loop to save her son and take him with her on her journey (to hell), the result is the same. Plus, why would she be meeting her friends in a sundress with paint spilled on it? An adult woman couldn't fit in a duffle bag or clothing bag could realistically The setting is in Miami but she's leaving the state of the Florida both literally and metaphorically to bury his body. She was so angry about her autistic son keeping her from enjoying her one day off because she was so determined to go yachting with Greg. Sisyphus was known for trickery. He broke his promise to come back on the River Styx which is how he cheated death and why he was punished. I was reminded of Casey Anthony- a Florida woman who accidently killed her child to go party with friends which happened 11 months prior to this movie being released.

Last shift sounds cool, I think I'd prefer that over Thirteen Ghosts.

Maybe the loop started when she killed herself and her son in a car accident on their way to the sail boat, and this is her purgatory or hell always trying to get back to her son only to be the one that kills him

2:30 Plot Summary 5:23 Aeolous, Greek God of Winds 8:20 Time Loop 2, Jess 2 11:30 Trying to break the loop 13:18 Failed 13:54 Time Loop 3, Jess 3 15:35 Back home 🏡 - Terrible mom to her special needs son 17:36 Car Crash 18:43 The Ferryman (The Taxi Driver) 19:21 When does Jess lose her memories? 20:04 The Bermuda “Triangle” Pergutory and Being Damned

The biggest unanswered question for me is Bad Jess. We don't follow our jess through the stages of becoming Bad Jess and killing herself on the deck or slashing Henry's throat and stabbing Sally. The masked Jess seems to be Bad Jess but when our Jess becomes the Masked Jess the slashing and stabbing doesn't happen.

13 ghost I would love your take on the backstories of the ghosts

This is the lost LOOP in Miss Peregrine's home for Peculiar Children.

This Channel is like a cheat code for all popular movies lol. Love this channel.

This movie is about Jess' limbo where she is punished to live out a nightmarish version of her son's autistic experience. She is being forced to understand what is like to be him so she can learn her lesson after abusing him in frustration with how particular he needs things done the same exact way every day. By the time she learns the error of her ways (but only to a point) she's forced to endure it all again. There's a lot of really clever writing to this end throughout if you pay attention.

Sisyphus rolled the rock as punishment for cheating Death. Aeolus of Thessaly was his father. The image of Aeolus in the video is the god of the wind, no relation to Sisyphus.

I love 13 ghost, I always hope they did a movie with a more detail stories of every ghost !

It must be quarantine getting to me, but the slo mo of Jess screaming my boy killed me

Viewers choice is an awesome idea, i know you've been doing this for a long time now. Just wanted to say great job!

Hell yeah, this is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all-time!

The seagull might be a reference to the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, since this movie seems pretty smart even if they do get their mythology a bit confused with Aeolus and Sisyphus.

The film is a horror and psychological tragedy because Jess was subjected to eternal punishment by the Olympian gods because she is a nervous person who abuses her autistic son, and after she died and her son was in the accident, she regretted it after it was too late, so she returned every time with the same terrifying scenario, just so she could live an hour with her son before they died in the accident for the first time. To infinity... Suppose that the Olympian gods punish her for rejecting the blessing and not feeling its value until after it is lost (like eternity in hell)

Watched this about a year back, still a great, complex movie and one of my favorites tbh

Thirteen Ghosts. It's at least a decent remake and one of the movies I saw during my childhood

The driver is Charron, the ferryman. He must be paid to take you across the river styx, hence the meter running. This is usually depicted as 2 pense over the eyes of the dead.

Excellent skits, man! Loved them!

Ok, I had that figured out, but you still explained things better than I understood, so thanks. I'll be watching more of your vids now.

Haven’t seen last shift in a couple years. That’s my vote

Isn’t that Sisyphus not Aeolus with the Boulder ?

I always love his little skits! They are so odd and funny to me. I do think my favorite one is still the purge one haha.

Just saw it on Shudder. Very well done. Loved seeing the little callbacks, like the sos call, how the keys fell(not as subtle as the sos) eyc. Also thought it was funny that room 237 is the one with blood on the meaning. Room 217 will always be the true shining room for me

Thirteen Ghosts is a great movie. Even has some good comedic moments.

What I still don’t understand though is where “kill them all if you want to live” came from

God I love all the little skits you do in some of your videos. Always gets a laugh from me. Can't wait to see more!

I came here to do research about this movie. I'm still amazed about this film, albeit my brain is buffering from figuring out the time loop.

This movie gives a different meaning to the "killed herself"

Omg I thought I was the only person who's ever seen triangle I loved this movie so much when I first saw it in liked it cause even though it was hard to follow it was just good enough for me to understand

“What’s that pokey thing for?!” As there are hooks literally next to it with ropes on them....

What if keeping heather alive was the way to end the time loop

This movie is EXTREMELY underrated. I watched it and it was already awesome then but after watching some other video analysis on youtube explaining what everything means it just made the movie even better. It`s legit one of the most well thought out time traveling movies out there.

Thanks mate, there’s just too many movies out there and a good breakdown is always good to get some time saving ! 🎉 As for the one question, I think the point where she’s leaving the cab for another ride on the boat is where she fails and is losing her memory. There been some jess’ to come to this point but decide to run it again so they start at zero. Pretty crazy movie, I love the theories it sparks ! My question would be if there could be at least one or two Jess’ to deal with the loss of her son and keep on living, telling the driver to go somewhere else ? Anyway thanks again 😂

IF i CAN'T GOT TO THE MOVIES.I COME TO LISTEN TO YOU..YOU ALWAYS DO A PERFECT MOVIE EXPLAIN..THANK YOU

You forgot to mention that Greg invited her out of nowhere for a reason.
