For those that have not seen the film, here's a brief synopsis. A mysterious videotape kills anyone who watches it after seven days, including journalist Rachel Keller's (Naomi Watts) niece. While investigating, Rachel watches the videotape herself, a disturbing series of images and brief clips, and is notably distraught when she answers the phone ...
The look of the film is effectively dreary and oppressive, with the bulk of the movie filmed in a palate of blues and grays. There's water seemingly everywhere. If it isn't raining, it's the immediate aftermath of rain - wet driveways, puddles, and the like. Little puddles of water surround those killed after watching the video (we'll get there). T...
The Ring speaks to media, and how it can distort truths and impact lives. The videotape literally impacts the lives of the people who watch it. Besides impending death, photos and live videos of those who watch it are distorted or scratched out; a cancel culture, if you will, long before that became a thing. Televisions are prevalent throughout the...
The characters and their relationships in the movie are other fascinating elements of the film. Rachel begins the film as someone who sees herself as above others. When Aidan's teacher asks to talk to Rachel about Aidan, she very noticeably dismisses the classroom chair pulled out for her, opting to sit on the desk, placing her higher than the seat...
The film contains many memorable, well-crafted scenes, a testament to Gore Verbinski's skill as a director. The opening scene draws you into the film immediately, explaining the basic premise of the story before following Rachel's niece, Katie (Amber Tamblyn), increasing horror as she realizes that anything around her could bring about her death. T...
Not yet. First, the actors: a cast that does a great job with their roles. Naomi Watts is perfect, capturing the wild rollercoaster of emotions Rachel goes through with sometimes nothing more than the look on her face. Young David Dorfman understands Aidan, portraying the character as a child forced to be self-sufficient, with a hint of resentment ...
Now, the ending, far and away the best part of the movie. All along, Rachel is led to the belief that what Samara wanted was for the truth to come out, to be rescued from the well and laid to rest. And we, the viewers, believe it too. From movies like The Sixth Sense or Insidious: The Last Key, we're accustomed to that story. So when that gets twis...
