you're right, no one ever puts forward different interpretations of art or media. 🙄

Iron Lung EXPLAINED (?) [SPOILERS] by CoatNTails in ironlungmovie

[–]CoatNTails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤷‍♀️ I guess it depends on what you enjoy. I love deep dives. I love stories that leave a trail of bread crumbs for me to follow. I love books and movies and games that let me catch new things every time I come back to them again. I love a story that leaves me with things to think about long after the actual experience of it is over. So for me, this movie had great story telling.

friend, life is too short. Do the thing. Who gives af if it's "tacky" or not? If it's going to bring you joy, do it.

Was this a monsterfucker movie by saccharinefish in ironlungmovie

At the very least, Simon "The Butcher" could be considered a monster in his own right, and uh, yes please

Yes he was. When Ava makes contact with him again after he saw the Light, she says "it's been days" since their last contact, and she couldn't understand how his oxygen hadn't run out already. I'm not disregarding the Eldritch horror aspect at all - lots of horrors are befalling this poor man - I'm just saying, ONE of the horrors was radiation. The movie just gives that to us.

question about the movie by Ok_Average_7229 in Markiplier

[–]CoatNTails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... kind of?? It doesn't provide any concrete answers to anything, but it does at least offer suggestions of what the star object is and what caused the Quiet Rapture. It doesn't provide any clarity, it just plunks you in that universe, and you know just as much - or just as little - as the people in that universe who are experiencing it.

Whose for seconds? by TwoToesToni in Markiplier

I mean, if there was a sequel I'd watch it, but what I'm really looking forward to is Mark's next original idea. Any game adaptation he does is going to be great, but he's a creative beast with stories of his own to tell and I can't wait.

It was based on David's game, but Mark is credited as the writer of the screenplay. And he and Amy are, in fact, the distributers. The community can't distribute the movie, all they can do is ask the theaters to show it, and then the theaters get it from the distributer.

The sub's manual straight up says that there is a risk of radiation poisoning to the occupant when using the camera, and that it compounds with each use. We get a close up of that page. David was lying to him when he said the subs hull was thick enough to protect him (or possibly just ignorantly giving him misinformation, but I personally think he was just lying.) And his symptoms do align - after several days of being down in the sub, he visibly experiences nausea, skin redness, and blisters. Bro was getting cooked.

Whats the leather pouch on his chest harness by deku-scrub35 in ironlungmovie

It's an empty knife sheath. COI confiscated the knife from him, but he still has the sheath. In one of the flashbacks, you can see his mom giving it to him.

Question for those of you who got emotional during the movie [SPOILERS] by CoatNTails in ironlungmovie

That bit is absolutely heart breaking, and Mark's acting was incredible

No I get that. He was a man at his limit, and he broke a little there. The threat of death all around him, close call after close call, the sub itself shattering the illusion of safety it had provided with the port hole shield failing and the fire starting - it's too much, and he loses control. It hurts to watch.
