DVD Reviews of Danika
DVD Review: strange
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't want to spoil the ending. Apparently it's a shocking surprise you didn't see coming that explains all the events leading up to it.
It's about a mother/wife who has a serious problem- she thinks all the worse things that can possibly happen to her family actually ARE happening, even though they're not. Well then again, maybe they *are*. Who knows?
The storyline jumps around from one horrible event to the other. In one scene, she goes to put her groceries in the refrigerator, only to pull someones HEAD out of the grocery bag, haha. This prompts her to grab her kids, run outside, and scream there's been a murder. When the police arrive, they look through the house and come to the conclusion there's no murder and the woman is crazy. But this is where things get totally confusing- maybe this murder really did happen and the carefully created storyline made it seem like it didn't.
The movie is basically a constant flow of unusual and confusing twists and turns that make you wonder more about what's going on than actually trying to figure out this complex mess. You just never know what's real and what's not.
There were other shocking moments near the end that involve her husband and her oldest sons girlfriend. Apparently the girlfriend was the housekeeper all along. Or maybe she made up the housekeeper part. I mean, maybe the mother/wife made up that part. Maybe the whole scene with her oldest sons girlfriend jumping in bed with the mother/wife was made up too.
No wait, I get it- the entire time the mother/wife was actually killed during that bank robbery in the beginning of the movie! She never really had a family the whole time- she just made up having three kids and a husband because it was during the bank robbery she questioned whether she made the right decision going through life not even bothering starting a family. Yes, and the oldest sons girlfriend, the school teacher, the police, these were just people that flashed through her mind in a moment of total confusion. Yes, this is it! Sarcasm of course.
Hey, that's just one of possibly 1,000 ways to interpret this movie. Anyway, back to the movie review...
Throughout the movie, the mother/wife/psychopath kept imagining what it would be like to see her children much older, and what they would be like as teenagers. Of course it meant as teenagers -since the mother/wife had severe mental problems- each of her children would all go through their own distinct severe problems which would end up driving the mother/wife crazy.
Honestly, there wasn't much of anything that made a bit of sense to me. The only thing I gathered is that the mother/wife was so screwed up in the head that absolutely *nothing* could save her. If this movie was designed to confuse the viewers, or make people question what's real in the world and what's just an illusion, congratulations- it succeeded.
