Wow I Finally Watched Don't Worry Darling
This movie was...satisfying.
You begin watching this perfect life. Perfect Marriage, Perfect Social life, Perfect House, Perfect Job.
But it all seems a little too perfect.
Then suddenly, There will be a small shift in this perfect world. Something will change, There will be a speck of hesitation, An Egg with no yolk and you'll notice it instantly because all you’ve been given so far is perfection.
Then it hooks you in.
This world is too perfect, So whats the catch? That's what the world has taught us, When things are too good to be true, They are. Right?
From there, Oh Boy you're in for a ride.
This movie shocked me, It surprised me, But most of all - A favourite of mine, It made me gasp so many times unexpectedly.
By the end of it, In the last 30 minutes specifically, My phone was lost to my room, The outside world had completely fallen away and I was hunched over inches from my screen, Hands covering my mouth to stifle my gasps at 1am while we finally got the ultimate satisfaction of finding out the secret behind perfection.
If you want a movie thats going to take you in one direction, then suddenly jerk you in another, Then suddenly spin you 360 degree so much so you dont remember where perfection begins and reality ends. Because you're not given the answers and watching these characters squirm, You're discovering everything at the exact same time as Alice.
You feel like you're living your best life with her. You feel like you're going crazy with her. You feel like you're escaping with her. You feel like you can't breathe as you're getting squished by the glass suffocating you into silence, Until suddenly "reality" sets in, making you wonder what's truly real at all.
If only we all knew what "real" truly meant.
Also i just have to note that the final song when Alice is driving away is PERFECTION! The best choice ever.
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
That ending.
It went from a world run by men (Except for one poor, gorgeous soul) thinking they could control the world, But they underestimate the power of women. Whether in a collective or one on their own, Never underestimate the power of a woman.
That one final strike of the Shelley, Who was truly in charge, That made me gasp the loudest out of the whole movie.
And even though it may not have been me weilding that blade, It made me feel powerful.
Never settle for contempt. Never settle for just fine. Never settle for anything but the life you deserve to live and the life you want to live. Whether thats a quiet life, A Travelling life, A family life, A single life, A life working your ass off and dancing all the worries away.
Never let anyone make that decision for you.
To suddenly find out that the man we've learnt to trust, learnt to love, learnt to admire has forced us into this perfect box? And the fact hes not the only man or woman that's done this.
It's one thing to choose that life for yourself, It's another to do something out of Love and wanting the best for your relationship, But there is never an excuse to take away someones free will.
But when we found out this world isnt even REAL?! It's all in their melded HEAD?!
When Bunny said "When you Kill someone in here, They die in real life." I could not think straight for a solid few minutes realising what that meant.
Absolutely mindfucked.
Then the ending is finally here, You feel like you're escaping this world with Alice and seeing her real future, You're on the edge of your seat awaiting to see the other side of those heavy breaths.
But we never get to see.
While this movie is satisfying, It doesn’t give you that final satisfaction that tips you over the edge of your choice of seat all together. But there's something special when a movie, The right movie, does that.
Did Alice wake up in bed with her, now dead, husband beside her? Were they even married in real life? What sustanence do their bodies truly gain while away? Is what the men do everyday leave that digital world, Keep things running in the real world, then come back "home"? Did Alice go to prison for her crimes? Or did she stand in her kitchen alone once more, Freedom in her heart, Mind and soul as she moves her body along to the music without a care in the world.
What happened with all those living in that world without the will to do so? Did Shelley start a revolution? What were the consequences of this uproar in the real world? Did this digital world collapse or did those that wanted to stay, stayed and those that wanted to escape, Go?
Questions can be asked forever, But I love that everyone can interpret this ending how they want.
Or I may have missed the point of the ending all together, Who knows! That's the incredible things about Film, Everyone has a different way of watching, experiencing and enjoying a film.
I knew this movie was going to be a psychological joyride, But I truly didnt expect such a turn of events as this.
I would love to watch this again now knowing what happens, Because I can just imagine there's so many more details that I missed.
