i only watch this on TV so there are possibilities of scenes i failed to watch (due to censorship and the works). In all truth, M Night S movies have been delightful treats in the worst possible ways. I watched LITW twice by now and i still wish i know what are the underlying message on top of 'we are meant for a purpose' theme. I mean, could there be political symbolism in the fairy tale of the narf? is there more to the story? Or is it meant as a treat to the pressuring minds of the people of this age. A cookie mix to simply enjoy the ride in the world of fantasy. The scenes are beautiful, the script is brilliant. Yet, you cant watch and expect something 'logical' not in this movie. There is no surprise to the conclusion of the story. No big surprise like The Village or The Sixth Sense. But its a story spinned to entertain. Perhaps i will find out the message MNS is actually trying to instill. But until then, i would simply enjoy the tales of Story.

i think its an awful movie. the character of the woman was portrayed as a helpless, wavering person. the two men who took her in, not only took advantage of her but treated her like a whore and a commodity goods. they used her sexually, dumped her when they felt she was a problem and when she was finally brought back to them, again they tried to take advantage of her sexually. on the other hand, the story reflected how influential and powerfully manipulative a woman can be to men. she was more like a log rather than a tempting seductress and yet, with her skinny and quiet and submissive personality, the men tailed her like hungry dogs. all in all, i was uncomfortable of such story. especially when women are portrayed as nothing more than sex slave to men.
