![]() ![]() But the actual ending is very bland and disappointing. I had many fun, complex theories that I hoped would be close to how it ended. They’ve already been together for a year so there’s none of the drama and angst of a new love, though, there is still romance and plenty of admiration.įrom the reviews I have read, it seems like we all agree on one thing – the ending could have been so much more. I did enjoy her relationship with Colin which is awfully cute. ![]() She is a fun protagonist that I was able to connect with, but I also wanted to scream at her for some of her decisions and how she can be really oblivious. I have mixed feelings about Hannah, though. I love the mystery, the suspense and simply scaring myself by imagining being in their shoes. ![]() When they get there things take a very strange turn when Colin starts acting like he’s gone mad. Hannah decides to go on a romantic getaway with her boyfriend, Colin, to his old summer home in the middle of nowhere (don’t ask me!?). ![]() Still Waters is fun, freaky and got my adrenalin pumping. I went into Still Waters expecting a really ominous plot with a not always bright protagonist – like your average horror flick, and that’s what I got. But (and yes you’ll think I’ve been living under a rock… but… it’s a very pretty rock!) I’ve never read or watched The Shining so to me this was all new and extremely creepy. I’ve noticed a few people compare this to The Shining. ![]()

![]() Taking a leap of faith, Red boards a bus and travels all the way to Andy's dream home, and the two are reunited on the beach. ReunionĪt the end, Red finds money and an invitation to Mexico in a box under the oak tree that Andy described to him. Later on in the film, we realize that the pin-up posters represent literal escape as well, in that the Raquel Welch poster covers over the hole through which Andy makes his escape from the prison. It represents escape, freedom, and pleasure. The poster hangs on Andy's cell wall, a vestige of the outside world, the pleasures of sensuality and female company. His request is cheeky in that he knows it would be impossible for the ever-crafty Red to procure the actual Rita Hayworth for him, but Red makes good on his claim of being "the guy who knows how to get things" and gets Andy a large poster of the starlet. ![]() One of the first things that Andy requests from Red is the American film actress and sex symbol Rita Hayworth. The shots of the prison in all its drabness and darkness show the viewer the difficult and depressing dimensions of incarceration. The image gives a clear representation of the confinement of jail, the inhuman conditions in which prisoners live every day. ![]() The first time Andy enters the prison, Darabont shows us a dark hallway behind a set of bars, and down that hallway is a door with a tiny fenced-in square opening. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve done my best to hide my “gift.” After all, my dad, who shared my ability, killed himself because of it when I was fifteen. ![]() ![]() Yeah, because surviving high school isn’t hard enough already.

And you wouldn’t believe what they’re saying about me now that they think I can’t hear them. Run over by a bus of band geeks-is there anything more humiliating? As it turns out, yes-watching your boyfriend and friends move on with life, only days after your funeral. Is it my fault I was born with it all-good looks, silky blond hair, a hot bod, and a keen sense of what everyone else should not be wearing? But my life isn’t perfect, especially since I died.
