We're the Jimmy Saville power ranger scenes necessary?

grow up

The entire movie was unnecessary.

> no final act

what were they thinking?

Yes, but the sudden crappy swerve into a retarded attempt at a "death is sad but you must accept it" message was not. Why would a 12 year old who lived in a fortified village on the edge of a post-apocaplyptic wasteland where boys not much older than him are routinely sent to hunt and sometimes die as a rite of passage NOT fucking know what death is? And why did Boyle and Garland feel that the audience needed this crammed down their throats?

Euthanasia propaganda

>Momento movie
Why would he keep asking the boy about that film when they don’t even have TV anymore, how would he know what that is?

It's a pertinent message, a lot of people forget that they're going to die someday, especially today where death is such a taboo and typically very far removed from society. The visceral image of a bone temple being something that most people initially view as creepy or evil turning out to be a display of deep respect and love is a pretty interesting twist, but I wouldn't say the message of remembering death was a "sudden swerve" seeing as the doctor and his weird rituals are foreshadowed pretty heavily from early on in the movie. Also, we don't know what the 12 year old boy's exposure to death has been, the villiage might try to hide it from the kids as much as possible. The dialogue between him and the old lady just before he goes out on his expedition seems to suggest that's the case seeing as she has to make sure he's aware of the rules before they go out.

Spike knew death and had been taught all about it by his dad and his village, but he only knew to fear death, to bring death to his enemies and run from death. His mother having cancer was the first time he had to confront the inevitability of death, there was nothing he or anyone could do to avoid it. His mother and Kelson taught him that death isn't something to be afraid of. We love our parents knowing they will die and knowing we will die, and it's the right thing to hold on to that love anyway, because love is for both the living and the dead.
