    What about The Hills Have Eyes?

  • @jimjones6901
    @jimjones69014 жыл бұрын

    In elementary school I watched the original Hills Have Eyes and thought the character who Michael Berryman played (Pluto I think, the guy at 10:27) was the coolest guy ever. I wrote to Michael in a sixth grade class assignment where we had to write to a famous person and see if we could get a letter back. I told him how good of an actor I thought he was and told him I was sorry that he had "such a terrible disease" (I was in sixth grade mind you so I didn't realize how rude I was being by wording it that way). He has ectodermal dysplasia I believe. Anyways, shortly after I sent it I received a handwritten letter on the back of the original one I typed and sent to him. It was in blue pen I think. He told me about how it was difficult growing up with his disease as he would be made fun of frequently as a child, but that it no longer bothers him as an adult. He even sent me an autographed picture of him in a movie he was in that had just been released to Netflix. I still have the letter and I don't think I could ever get rid of it even if I'm not really fan at this point anymore. It really was just so sweet of him to handwrite it and sent me an autographed picture and take the time to respond. It meant a lot to me to have one of my personal heroes do that for me, especially as a young child. I will never forget it as long as I live.

    old comment, but I like to respond anyway. This is the thing people like to gloss over, and the moral gymnastic between what is revenge and what is defending your home from an established threat. It's more relevant in todays society, because the courts so love to punish people who react in a given moment to what is a deemed threat. You're in an abusive relationship, be it a significant other, partner, maybe a parent who physically assaults you - one day your mind breaks and you destroy the threat because mentally AND physically, you've gone past a breaking point. Someone invades your home, and you in a fit of fear or perhaps after being assaulted by the threat, manage to destroy it. In the courts, it is debated back and forth what is the morality behind this? You are no longer a victim, you have ended a threat to your body, and thus are now the thing that the court has mediation on whether or not to lock up. Society is super unforgiving of those that survive, by turning on the immediate and evident threat that would destroy us. It's as if we are no longer allowed to protect ourselves, since that would make us deviants to societies structure. If you hear a loud an unmistakable struggle in a neighbors home, you're not allowed to intervene at all; you call the authorities and then sit at your computer and wait. We can even argue that it is no longer allowed for people to simply defend themselves, but it is the governments job to decide the proper way of preserving someones life and wellbeing.

    The Hills Have Eyes is honestly one of the better remakes, I loved the radioactive wasteland/nuke town vibe it had. The visuals and cinematography were really great and the gore and violence (maybe a bit overkill) suited the movie. The movie is a remake that easily could stand on it's own, they could changed a few things here and there and it could have been it's own thing, instead of a remake sadly

    I saw the main message of the remake especially as “we make the monsters we fear” Big brain states that the mutants were ostracized and we’re forced to live in toxic land, making them spiteful and violent to outsiders. However, they themselves made monsters out of Doug by killing his family and Beast by killing his mate, both of whom destroyed the mutants with the same violent rage the mutants held for humanity. It’s a cycle of monsters creating monsters that kill their creators.

    A perspective for you. The wilderness in America is bigger than the whole of Europe and it is no joke. To live outside of a major city is inherently dangerous. Rural residents are caught between hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and forest fires along with actual animal attacks (wolves, bobcats, mountain lions, bears, snakes and the like) and emergency service that can be over an hour away. This on top of the problems of modern life, ie financial, cultural issues. The idea of having a responsibility and need to protect one's family, even with violent, didn't originate from a vacuum. So the idea of a cannibal tribe is scary because it is a) a powerful threat and b) a horrifying possible fate. Forcing the rural American to consider what lines they should draw in protecting their family and the possible consequences of not.

    I think the remake did fine. Bob's star spangled conservatism and all it's "protection" and "preparation" aspect is useless in actuality protecting himself or his family in the face of the truly unexpected and unpredictable. On the other spectrum Doug's pacifism ends up being just as useless in turning away the violence the face of such determined brutality. The only thing that saves anyone in the end is stooping to the mutants level of vicious ultra violence. Though it should be pointed out that even that would have proven useless to Doug in the end when trying to save his baby girl if it wasn't for Ruby's kind gentle nature and willingness to sacrifice herself to protect the baby. Only the brutal can survive in the face of brutality, but it takes a passive gentle soul to actually accomplish anything truly good in such a awful violent mess, though often at a cost itself. It takes both, and in entirely different forms from either protagonist at the beginning of the film, for the family, what's left of them, to survive in any meaningful way.

    Honestly it sounds like both versions of the hills have eyes are enjoyable. Also from what i read online the hills have eyes is one of the most complimented horror remakes. It’s not just an updated copy it makes changes that make it a different experience. Like the 2006 version is one of the most unsettling horror movies I have watched. The premise of being watched and stalked is still there but some of the visuals are just incredibly intense and i loved it. The whole trailer sequence with the sister,big bob and the mother and daughter is just incredible. You can actually feel the mother and daughter mentally break because what happens to big bob and it’s so amazing for a horror film to make you feel that way. ALL of this and the original is still good for different reasons. So in my opinion the hills have eyes is a good example of a MODERN horror remake.

    There is a time and there is a place. The problem is that people get into echo chambers and they believe the way they perceive things is a constant. They place themselves directly in a paradox. For instance, a Liberal MIGHT say that violence is not needed because we are safe, the safest we've ever been. And it is true, we ARE the safest we've ever been. It doesn't mean that everyone in every situation is safe, however. A Conservative might say that violence is needed to defend against violence. There is truth to that. However, violence shouldn't become the immediate go-to... everything isn't a nail for your hammer. The truth is, as it tends to be, between these two extremes. In Wes Craven's example, a pacifism, a lack of courage and action, directly led to loved ones being brutally murdered. Now contrast that to something like Taxi Driver, where 'more or less innocent' people die, because an individual takes their ability to rise to violence to far, begins to see everything through the same lens because they had encountered 'bad' things. Then take something like Kick-Ass, where the Vigilante does only strike against obviously bad people, finding a proper balance though still being unlawful and in essence a criminal themselves. Life isn't Black/White, Good/Bad, there is a lot of grey, and ton of duality, a dynamic of shifting situations. But we choose a tribe, take up a narrative, absorb an ideology, and begin to view everything through a single lens. That's what I love about Movies, the plural... you can watch the same topic over 3 films and have 3 completely different lenses to filter the topic.

    TheClimbTo1 Absolutely . We could then say that we are our own " Unreliable narrators " , seeing the world through a lens , our lens but not particularly the truest . Movies , since based on the idea of one or a couple people , show you how their vision of the world is . Hence , there are as many truths , as there are people . Perspectivism .

    TheClimbTo1 To bounce off on the idea of " Unreliable narrators " , we can not take our vision of the world as the absolute truth , becoming ourselves just another version of it . For eg my favourite footballer might Ronaldo and yours might be Messi , but the truth , like you said , is always a little bit of both . This is why the need to always question oneself and always seek to learn new elements , as to approach the truth the most objectively possible . Thx for that great comment partner

Wes Craven had an interesting concept with the National Guard and how the mutants needed to rape the women to survive on. It carries the themes of the first film well imo and has nice female protagonists on top of it all. I also see it as a commentary on the War on Terror, how the US is going overseas to the Middle East in order to fight those it calls savages, desiring to bring order and pushing the populace to the extreme. Along with some good kills and mutants. :). Sucks that Brenda couldn't come back though. :(

    With The Hills Have Eyes thing of having you question on what is civility and the like I like to point out one thing. The antagonists are literal murderers and cannibals. Though they do this for their survival its nothing like a remote tribe in the middle of nowhere that has none of our advancements in technology and medicine. The patriarch of the cannibal family is a violent savage that chose to run off after being beat to shit by his father. And he raises his sons to be the same exact way. He rejects civility and all their advancements and finds his own way of life in the killing and eating of other people by choice. Not by necessity but by his own savage and abhorrent way of thinking. He isn't a deformed nor ostracized man forced to be a monster. He was a monster and he sired and made monsters. The family was pushed to the brink and had to fight or else they would die. They didn't willingly go into someone else's territory and poke and prod them. they were prey and had to fight for their survival.
