At the book's climax, Karin mocks her breath after her extensive dental supplies fall out of her backpack. As Raina storms away, Karin and Nicole pull down her skirt in the middle of the courtyard. Tearful and humiliated, Raina stands up to them as well as to other friends who condone their actions.
The ending of the 2022 horror movie Smile sees Joel (Kyle Gallner) arriving at Rose's childhood home and realizing that she is too far gone to help. Rose sees the monster, has a mental breakdown, and can't move. She truly and fully embodies the curse by starting a fire with her own body.
With the curse seemingly over, she visits Joel in the Smile ending to apologize for pushing him out of her life. In what could be considered one of Smile's best reveals, however, Joel turns out to be the creature in disguise, revealing that Rose never actually left the house and is instead trapped in her own mind.
Before going to the theatres, I'd recommend you take the trigger warnings surrounding suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) very seriously. After witnessing a patient die by suicide at an emergency psychiatric hospital in a gruesome manner, Dr.
[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Smile.] The smile curse operates in a fairly consistent fashion throughout the film. One infected person is consumed, the entity forces them to take their own life and then the witness becomes cursed. But, what if multiple people witness that death?
So, the entity uses Rose's body to pour gasoline all over the psychiatrist, lighting a match just as Joel comes through the door. Rose's body is smiling while she burns away, and we can see in Joel's eyes he will be scarred for life by that disturbing suicide.
~ The Smile Entity, taunting Rose about how she will never be able to get rid of it. The Smile Entity is the main antagonist of the 2022 horror film Smile.
The movie focuses on mental health and trauma and it does that very well. Not for the easily rattled, lots of gore and jump-scares. I would not recommend for kids.
Ok so the movie Smile is based around a curse/entity that feeds and spreads through trauma. The main character Rose gets the Trauma both from her mother's death when she is young and also seeing her patient who had the Trauma die violently.
The Smile Entity as it strangles Rose, and its most infamous quote. You can't escape your own mind, Rose. The Smile Entity, also called The Monstrosity or simply The Smile Demon, is the main antagonist of the 2020 horror short film Laura Hasn't Slept, as well as its 2022 film adaptation/sequel Smile.
Rose Cotter, who witnesses one of her patients die by suicide in front of her. The shocking death triggers a domino effect that passes a curse onto Rose, who begins having hallucinations of people with creepy smiles everywhere she looks.
The sight of the entity's true form causes Rose to fall into a trance, and the entity feeds on her trauma by forcing itself inside her body through her mouth and possessing her. Joel breaks down the front door and sees a smiling Rose set herself on fire, passing the curse onto him.
Even though Rose did everything she was supposed to do — that we're supposed to do to process our own trauma — the monster still won. The cycle will continue. Smile writer-director Parker Finn characterizes the two endings of his film as an attempt to get ahead of audiences' expectations.
The climax is the high point of the movie where the protagonist, based on the knowledge gained from the rising action, determines what the final action needs to be taken in order to resolve the conflict. The falling action ties up or resolves any minor loose story ends. The denouement is the ending of the movie.
Most of the pictures are incredibly gory and bloody. May upset some. A woman accidentally bites her thumb creating a cut, some blood is shown. Blood and gore is infrequent but when it happens there is lots of it.
Finn says the face at 1:48:20 is a “true look at the evil thing that's been hiding behind all the smiles.” They called the entity Lollipop — thus explaining the use of The Chordettes' “Lollipop” at the start of the end credits — and this is what happens at the end of every cycle as the beast physically enters the ...
Smile clearly wants the audience to see the connection between Rose's curse and mental illness. Throughout the movie, characters use therapy buzzwords and often suggest that Rose's mental state is a result of her genetics and past trauma.
As Joel walks in, Rose is wearing that familiar creepy smile and has covered herself in gasoline – about to light a match. So no, Rose does not survive in Smile and even worse, it seems the curse has found a way to keep itself going, with Joel now presumably set to be its next victim.
With the colors, we wanted to do something unusual. We had read this study that was from back in the sixties where they found out that this sort of Pepto Bismol pink color somehow was supposed to make violent inmates less violent. So my production designer, Lester Cohen, and I, really grabbed onto that.
The movie focuses on mental health and trauma and it does that very well. Not for the easily rattled, lots of gore and jump-scares. I would not recommend for kids.
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “strong violent content and grisly images, and language.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a couple of kisses and hugs, many scenes of gruesome suicides and attempted murders including a man gutting himself with garden sheers, a woman setting herself on fire and a woman ...
This film is far from as graphic and disturbing as Ari Aster's “Hereditary” and “Midsommar,” but there are still some disturbing scenes that make members of the audience want to plug their ears and squeeze their eyes shut. The jump scares are also intense but there aren't so many as to overdo it.
While its MO was for Rose to harm herself, the demon was also capable of physically interacting with the real world, as shown by the twist of it impersonating Dr. Madeline and attacking Rose. Thus, the monster could have feasibly killed Rose's cat.
Rose begins experiencing hallucinations induced by the demon. Shortly after, she has trouble finding her cat, Mustache, and its tragic fate is revealed during her nephew's birthday party. The boy opens Rose's present to discover her cat's dead body.
The monster in Smile passes from person to person like a virus, needing new victims in order to survive. As such, one possible course of action would be to remove oneself from society entirely, escaping to a place of isolation where there are no other human beings nearby to infect.
