Anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet and gets all persnickety when people reveal major plot elements, HIT THE BACK BUTTON NOW!!!

You have been warned.

Here we go...

I finally watched The Lost a couple nights ago. Maybe it's just that I'm still really hard to impress lately, but I didn't entirely get this. I got most of it until the end.

It didn't quite sit with me in "The Number 23", but at least it was a new way to twist, and the preoccupation with finding all the 23's was distracting enough. It sits even worse with me here, where it looks like the writer just wanted to make the guilty party be someone you never would have expected. What were the clues? I didn't see any at all. Admittedly, I don't do a good job of seeing clues and stuff, but I couldn't see anything at all that should have even suggested the ending.

I mean, it just seems like a child wrote the ending. "Then the hero whipped out his magic ring, which he'd been hiding from everyone for just in case there was no other way to survive, and then he got out of the trap and smote the bad guy and rescued the fair maiden, and they lived happily ever after." I've read a few stories like that, and my nephew used to watch a lot of cartoons like that. (Heck, I probably did when I was little too and didn't notice it at the time.) It just came out of nowhere, like the writer didn't know how to end it and just spilled a bunch of scrabble tiles onto the page and called that the end.

So, what did I miss here?

(Not saying anyone did a poor job acting, just that the end seemed stupid and I'm wondering if I missed something.)

hey thanks commonsense. I really appreciate it.

Godfather1988 · 04-04-2009, 07:03 PM

Well, having watched the movie. I myself have become lost lol. There are some points of the movie that dont make sence, mostly cuz after they executed the final plot twist, they didnt do a very good job of explaining it at the end.

However i would like to say that iwas very pleased with the acting, espcially laceys performance, some of her looks and odd stares gave me chills.

I really enjoyed this movie and I was really getting into it but I was waiting and waiting for some major plot to unfold and it just didnt happen, the ending totally confused me and I dont get it in the slightest. This had potential to be a great movie Lacey was fab she really freaked me out lol!

CoMMonSenSe · 04-05-2009, 01:24 PM

yeah I admit, I didn't really "get it" either (and not just because the audio and video weren't synched up lol.. anyone find a better version?) but Lacey was amazing in this film. She did an excellent job and I hope more people start recognizing true talent and she gets the better kinda roles that she deserves.

Godfather1988 · 04-05-2009, 09:00 PM

Yes after searching for 2 hours because the video being out of sync was making me even more confused i finally found a website called supernovatube and their video is accuratly synced up.

Yes, I had no problem with the acting. Maybe a more sophisticated person would gripe at the whole story, but my beef was just with the end feeling like they pulled the name out of a hat and wrote the story to fit it. A pity all that good acting had to go to waste!

I wonder if Armand and Dina are disavowing their involvement the way Dennis Hopper disavows even being alive at the time Space Truckers was filmed. :D
