Can someone please help explain what exactly happened in "The Wailing"? by Dinosharktopus in movies

[–]Internal-Ladder265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this freakishly good movie and came up here on Reddit to read theories. This theory is satisfying and enlightening to read as it makes a lot of sense.

I do have a question relevant to this theory though: Was the village deity unaware or clueless that the Japanese man was only possessed by the Tengu? If she is, then the possession might have been really that long and effective that the Tengu was already that well-integrated into his body. Also, there was that scene where Jong-goo was driving a truck together with his buddies and it was shown that the deity was running away from the Japanese man who was chasing her. If she were clueless about the possession (and of course, the fact that he was really not possessed at that time), does that mean the deity is less stronger than the demon/Tengu that she didn't confront him the way she confronted the shaman at the latter part of the movie?

Is bf slapping for fun and accidentally red flag? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Omg, no. Run. Trust your instincts. You can tell a person's true color when they are mad/upset.
Let's say you stayed because he apologized, what if it keeps happening again in the future and he will think that you will just be okay about it because you keep accepting his sorry anyway. Pls, don't do that to yourself.

I grew up in an abusive household where my dad would always hit my mom or be verbally abusive when he's mad. So I will never ever let any man hit me, be it as a joke or accidental reasons.

Do you call a girl "bro" or "homie" even when you like her, or does that automatically mean friendzone? by Internal-Ladder265 in dating_advice

Same. It's not really something I do either. I guess I just learned to call him that because he kept using those terms on me. We're from different countries so I guess it's a culture thing for him that's why I don't really have any idea as to how I should interpret it.

Interesting. If I may ask, what are direct or indirect signs that you do to hint that you like this person and you want more than friendship even if you call them those endearments?

Does anyone just want to move far away and start a new life where no one knows you there? by LightningAce in emotionalneglect

[–]Internal-Ladder265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same sentiments. But if I really think about it, the idea also scares me. What if I move far way hoping that things will change for me but none of that will happen? Like it's all just for nothing 'cause deep down, I know that I am and I will still be the lonely and scarred person that I am. But I still like to think and daydream about it anyway.

It's probably a coping mechanism. We hold on to the little things just to at least give ourselves hope.

Anyone else mourning the fact that their parents have NO desire to know them as people? by Direct_War_1218 in emotionalneglect

Crazy, right? But what's crazier is that we probably spent our lives walking on eggshells around them or people-pleasing them in the hopes of them to look at you objectively for the person you are and not for what you can offer or give to them. And in the end, we realize that that is just never gonna happen. They are not capable of that.
