Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Palaest recommended

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

adjuster26 I don't know what is like to go insane but I think this movie gives you about a close a look at it as you can get. I honestly don't know how I feel about this film. At times it was SO out there I almost shut it off and yet I couldn't. It was so insane I just had to see what happened next. I applaud a film maker to take a dare and do something this different and crazy. I mean nothing made sense in this movie and it was creepy as hell. Overall I am glad that I watched it. I like movies that are out there and this has to be the most out there movie I have ever seen. It kind of messes with you mind a bit and puts you in a "strange" mood. Overall, I liked it and am glad I saw it.

greenoe43 The Oregonian is a tragic telling of a woman who gets in a car wreck in the middle of nowhere and tries to find her way to help. She comes across many individuals throughout her journey that bring her down different paths and show her a certain way of life. What the movie represents is life itself and the different paths we can go down on that journey. The girl herself resembles death as she is constantly shown in a red plaid shirt and covered in blood. Several times she attempts to wipe off the blood with water, but the red blood continues to reappear on her face which could show her attempt to escape from death. The red that she is surrounded foreshadows the path she chose as death came before her. The green that often appears with the green monster thing and the green room she goes through shows the path of life that she had the option of going down. In a later scene it is shown of her in the green monsters costume beating a man with a pipe. This ensues to her being covered in blood and the mixture of the colors green and red, or the two roads of life and death. One of the last scenes where the girl is seen having an omelet shoved into her represents fertility and her lack of such quality. This idea of fertility can be brought around to one of the earlier scenes where the girl's husband gets mad at her for having an affair, which can be assumed to have been brought up to her lack of fertility. We also see the idea of infertility when the man makes eggs and leaves the cracked eggs in the toilet for the girl to see. With this being said, The Oregonian is a horrifying experience of one girl's path of life or death and the influence her infertility had on that choice.

Alex-S-Long2 The feature length film The Oregonian, is a film of love and hate and the eventual descent into madness. It is in my opinion that this movie actually represents something, and is not just a 2- hour nightmarish drug trip. It is in my opinion that the plot of the movie is that the main protagonist is in Hades, Hell but she does not realize it yet. Allow me to explain. In the beginning of the movie we see her steal a bottle of what I presume is vodka, off her dead/passed out husband/fiancé/. She then proceeds to drink the rest of it. The next scene we a violently transitioned into has our protagonist waking up after being in a terrible accident where she kills a father and his child. After she feebly cries for help, she sees a woman in red walk out of the woods, staring and smiling at her in the most ominous way possible. This woman is a reference to the demons that terrorize the occupants of Hell. What occurs next is even stranger, the woman in red vanishes and our protagonist continues to walk down the road and encounters an unconscious man in a frog suit with a shotgun. The girl steals the gun and continues walking down the strange road. Later in the film she comes to a small town where she finds a man in a van wearing some aviators. She hitches a ride from him to the next mystery town. The man is a reference to Charon (the ferryman of the River Styx). He then takes her to a mysterious shack where she encounters more strange men and women (demons) who terrorize her more. In later scenes, the strange men and two women are out in the middle of the desert drinking a strange mixture of gasoline and milk, maybe. While in the desert with the strange people, she sees the man in the frog suit, and after a horrific hallucination, she murders him with a lead pipe, thus concreting her presence in Hell. She has now murdered 3 times and has no chance of escaping her fate. She then is found wearing the frog suit and laughing with the strange woman in the car at the scene of her original sin, the murder of the father and boy. She meets her ultimate doom, when a strange light emits a strange noise, and then the movie ends.

tj0331 This film was a treat for me. Previous to watching I read all the interviews I could find with the director and from those I had built a sense of what to expect in terms of how he cared about this film. It is hard to classify it as a genre. I can give two comparisons to other film makers that really made me recall their taste constantly in this film. That would be early Lynch and early Cronenberg. I think that other creative people should adore this movie. The beauty is more in the feel and craftsmanship than the story. The story itself is more of a surreal journey. I look forward to seeing what Calvin Reeder creates for us in the future.
