Quick analysis of Lamb (2021)
Ok, so all story weirdness aside...
(spoilers follow)
In trying to make sense of this film, I detected parallels between the new Ada and the original Ada. It seems that Maria had an affair with Petur years ago, which resulted in a child. Ingvar knew what had happened but pretended he didn't. He loved the first Ada like his own child. However, after they lost this child Ingvar chose to pretend that Ada never existed.
But Maria can't live inside a fantasy as easily as Ingvar does. She's the one who always takes on the burden of doing the dirty work in their relationship to make the lie work. She carries all the guilt and sin so Ingvar can be happy. I'm not saying that her having an affair wasn't wrong, just that covering it up costs her a lot of energy.
When the second Ada mysteriously arrives, Maria happily accepts it as the gift of a second chance, but it's even harder to cover up the lie of Ada's origin this time. Maria is first forced to deal with the real mother, after which Petur appears. He's a spector of the truth that can't be denied, but even he willingly plays along with the fantasy of Ada being his niece, at least for a while. Petur is 100% trouble, but he yearns for family and happiness as much as his brother. He just can't do that without trying to take what Ingvar has. Maria probably had to drive him away some time after the first Ada came, too.
In the end, Ingvar is shot in the throat (because he can never speak in the face of the truth that he knows), the second Ada is taken away by this truth, and Maria is left to deal with the aftermath alone, much as she did with her first child. The story comes full circle.

31 Nights of Halloween Horror: day 30
My choice for today was a movie that’s been on my list since it came out, but came back to mind when it was recently mentioned to me, mostly because the other person didn’t know how to feel after seeing it lol, Lamb (2021)
Well..... what to say about this movie lol. First off, I rated it 6/10. Decent indie horror movie. Very on A24′s vibe lol. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I started this movie, but I could have never guessed how it would end lol. I have so many unanswered questions lmao. Ok I’m not sure what else to say, so I’ll end it here. Watching the trailer, you’ll probably know if you’ll like this movie or not. I watched the trailer and knew it’d be weird and artsy and I’d kind of like it, which is exactly what happened lol.

Last night I discovered a movie and I would like to share.
I have not watched it fully, only seen a recap on YouTube however I am gonna track down the DVD.
As a monster fucker, this gave me chills and the fun rationality of: is it monster fucking or bestiality?
It's been playing on my mind all day. I've started a draft for a story inspired by this.
