It is the playground of one's own mind; dreamlike, yes, but not a dream. The mind is of itself and creates images that are representative of his whole existence and being. His entire life exists solely in his mind at this point. Physically, he is not on earth anymore, but in a type of purgatory of the mind. Essentially, the whole film is what he sees in his mind on his deathbed; the horror of death, the fear of hell and of staying on Earth when your place is in heaven.
The ending features a great camera shot. Singer is lying dead on an operating table and the doctors walk away from it wondering this man's name. This takes away from the uniqueness of Jacob Singer, the person. It depersonalizes him. Instead of having a peaceful, deeply emotional ending where he is walking to Heaven it ends on an impersonal, almost apathetic note, with a subtle hint of uncertainty.
It brings up a fundamental question: what happens to someone when they die?? No one really knows and there will always be uncertainty. Thus, one cannot be certain that Jacob Singer went to Heaven in this film.
If it had ended on the shot of him going up the stairs with his son, him ascending to Heaven would most certainly be true.
Yet, at the end, he is just one man who has died in Vietnam. It is a cold and somber ending. Though he is peaceful and dead, his ties to the world have been severed. This is a great conclusion, for it takes it away from the personal nature of the main character and it focuses on the more significant question of what death really is?? Yet personally in his mind Jacob is going to Heaven and is sure of it.
I love how subtle this idea is brought up here. The uncertainty of the 'undiscovered country' is a question that no one can answer-yet everyone asks. This is a very compelling story, with a satisfying ending. It also has a good number of curves along the way that give it good sustenance. There are some movies that really set a great precedent, and 'Jacob's Ladder' is a leading example. Long before movies like 'The Sixth Sense' or 'The Others' were out, 'Jacob's Ladder' was one of the first movies to play so artfully with combinations of the natural and the paranormal, the real and the surreal, and most importantly, a movie that manages to bring the viewer completely by surprise in the end, by making everything seen up to that point shown in a different perspective.
It is not a horror movie, yet there are some scenes that can definitely scare you quite much. And now, let me express my thoughts of how I interpreted it. This is the 'real' part of the film, which ends with the two doctors claiming that 'we lost him' in the last scene. The 'surreal' part that is taking part in Jacob's mind or soul throughout this period, is that he descends to hell subway , straggles with demons Jezzebel, evil doctors, 'Santa Claus' in the street, security men, etc.
Throughout this process, he is punished for his noughty thoughts or maybe acts that he had with Jezzebel when he was married, he is told the truth about what happened to his 'ladder'-drugged battalion chemist , and he is taught to live with the fact that he has to reconcile with what haunts him and pass away peacefully chiropractic.
It is interesting to note that the film plays with many symbolisms: Biblical names Jacob, Jezzebel, Sara , hellish subway where everything is locked, stairway to heaven with shining light, Jezzebel burns Sarah's and kids' photos in fire, demons with horns and tails, Jake burns in fever, etc. Moreover, the idea is that only Jake is salvated; his friends try to break free with him, but finally are doomed to stay in hell. Adrian Lyne's, Jacob's Ladder, is the freakishly twisted tale of Vietnam war vet, Jacob Singer, who, after being ambushed in Viet Cong by an agent orange assault, returns to his home town in New York City only to suffer from extreme post-traumatic hallucinations.
The hallucinations become increasingly bizarre as Jacob struggles to overcome the painful memories of his son played by Macaulay Culkin who was killed while he was in the war. Lyne uses seemingly ordinary images to evoke the fear and sickness that Jacob suffers with, from vapid shower curtains and naked spines, to the grotesque slab of meat inside a refrigerator—all induce a sense of estrangement and insanity.
Later he uses more horror-styled elements: coiled reptilian tails, saber-tooth's, convulsing heads built on paint bucket shakers, etc. The nonlinear style cuts back and forth between Jacob's present life in NY and his former life in Viet Cong.
At times, flashes of a later life i. Jacob begins to see literal demons infiltrate his perceptual awareness, haunting and tearing at his soul, causing him to sink lower and lower into the depths of madness as he struggles to let go of his memories and embrace death.
But are these demons real, or are they simply figments of his hallucinatory imagination? Along the way, he shares multiple conversations with his guardian angel chiropractor, Louis Danny Aiello , who imparts very peculiar, almost preachy wisdom to Jacob to help him calm his hellish nightmares.
Quoting from Meister Eckhart the master of Negative Theology , he says: 'Eckhart saw Hell too; he said: 'the only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. But they're not punishing you,' he said. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's like an LSD trip gone seriously wrong and without that backup friend to soothe or provide remedy.
It's also somewhat reminiscent of C. Lewis' 'Screwtape Letters,' very self-aware of the macabre and forces you to ponder uncomfortable subjects. The film is one of my favorites, as it merges the gap between the two worlds we exist in—the dark one and the light one—not to forget exposes the two voices that exist inside us all—the devilish one and the angelic one. A must see for the spiritually intune!
Can you say 'disturbing? It's a strange film and could be taken a number of ways. For instance, it has some twisted theology but yet could also be used as a tool for evangelism. It's not family fare, I'll tell you that. The language is brutal and there are some scenes in here that are not for the feint at heart.
The lead character, played by Tim Robbins, is a tortured soul and plays that role well. Most of the story is told in flashbacks as a man is dying and is going through the final stages of death, recalling some key moments in his life. The main message here is 'As long as you are afraid of death, the evil demons will torment you, but when you let go and aren't afraid anymore, you'll find those demons to be angels.
Suffice to say, it's quite different, can be very offensive, but - if you're willing to take a shot at something different and unpleasant at times - it is definitely worth checking out, and then discussing.
When movies have something to say they can become great movies. Jacob's Ladder is one such movie. Above all things, it's a voyage through a man's perspectives upon the Past and his Present, through his life and his personal fears and sorrow. The acting is superb; the general mood is dark and sad with a lot of eeriness and yet strangely peaceful at times.
The viewer will feel the main character's Jacob Singer confusion and sympathise with his personal cause. The Sound Track is beautiful and fits quite well with the general imagery and feeling throughout.
The dialogues are meaningful specially between Jacob and Louis, his chiropractor , which sad to say has become a rarity in movies nowadays. Get the movie, get the Extras and enjoy this Gem. I saw this movie when it first came out and liked it. However, recently I viewed it for a second time on DVD. Now, having seen it with better 'movie' eyes, I have to say that few films can deliver what Jacob's Ladder delivers. A phenomenal script side by side with a talented cast that keeps you mesmerized for its entirety.
Furthermore, if you have the chance; see the deleted scenes on the DVD and laserdisc? There is one that stands out. Near the end, a scene was deleted. It is absolute poetry and, frankly, I can't believe it was left out. Anyway, there wasn't a '15' in the voting menu He wakes up in New York subway while going home late night after working overtime in the post office. Along the next days, Jacob is chased by demons and finds conspiracy in the army, while having different visions of different moments of his life.
This anguishing and intriguing story is one of the most original and unique I have ever seen, and has been plagiarized many times mainly in the foregoing mentioned 'The Jacket'. Tim Robbins gives another top-notch performance in the role of a troubled man resolving his life, due to the feeling of guilty for the loss of his younger son.
Bruce Joel Rubin, who also wrote and produced 'Ghost', 'Jacob's Ladder' and 'My Life', shows that is very connected with spiritual issues, approaching this theme in his films. Further, 'Jacob experienced a vision in which he saw a ladder reaching into heaven with angels going up and down it, a vision that is commonly referred to as Jacob's Ladder' from 'Wikipedia'.
Another interesting aspect is that all the characters have biblical names. My vote is nine. This movie is absolutely amazing, has a complex plot and throughout all of it you keep thinking about the possible explanation, then all of a sudden the next scene comes around and your expectations about the possible outcome are shredded to pieces, a very great movie if you like to really deeply understand a plot of the movie and think about it a lot. The ending was great, nothing too fancy, but you could see Jaccob finding the end of his spiritual journey and finally spiritually accepting his death in Vietnam, now he can finally move on from wandering around the world and rest in piece.
The idea of having these two ladies in his life, one being his former wife and other his current girlfriend was an interesting add-on as well, hence until the end of the movie it kept you thinking - maybe all of the events are only a dream and he really is together with Sarah right now, but in a coma, because of his son's death?
Only at the viewers get a clarification and can if not fully then at least somewhat understand the movie. A lot of people don't like this movie because they believe it's too hard to understand. However, it pretty straight forward, it's simply a representation of what someones goes through before dying, and i believe quite strongly that it's pretty close to that. The whole movie is just a big nightmare and a mental fight for survival. There is many references to death throughout the movie.
Have you ever had a dream where somebody you barely know was suddenly close to you, and in your dream it seems like you've known him forever, for example your cousin's friend might suddenly be your brother and seems like he's always been.
That's what happens to Jacob's with with his girlfriend. It might seems that the movie skips from one point to another but don't all dreams do exactly that. If you have something bothering you, you might dream of it at night.
Jacob's concern was his survival, The movie is simply a representation of dreams. You can relate to Jacob's mental struggles through your dreams. This movie is very underrated, I believe it is one of the best motion picture every created, it's very original, and it leaves you thinking for days, the author is extremely clever!! Almost flawless in my opinion, 10 out of 10!! Jacob's Ladder has that characteristic. Well, actually that isn't true, because I think a clear majority of the people would not enjoy this film.
It is horribly depressing which turns off some , has a confusing and intentionally ambiguous plot-line which turns off some more , it is dark and moody which turns off even more , and it has an ending that some people just don't get. Even though, unlike the Sixth Sense which it is often now compared to , it blatantly and explicitly tells the audience through characters such as the Evil Doctor not the chiropracter and the black palm reader at the party, what is happening.
They both tell him in no uncertain terms: you're dead. Yet because of their characters, the latter being too amicable and the former being too hostile, the main character, and the audience, just can't believe them. Yes, the movie is disturbing, but to those that follow it right up to the end, watching not only the political and social comments the movie makes along the way, which are actually the weaker messages, but also the mystical insight the movie has to offer in its' conclusion, this movie simply could not be any better.
This movie is like anchovies, most people just can't stand them, but to those who do, nothing else comes close. To some, this film is a masterpiece of visual, mental, and mystical entertainment.
This final aspect, mysticism, is only compounded by how rare this is in movies today. Don't get me wrong, I thought Sixth Sense was a superb movie, but it does not try to tackle anything nearly as profound as Jacob's Ladder. This probably explains the Sixth Sense's broader appeal. Jacob's Ladder not only makes exceedingly deep statements about death and the afterlife, but about the nature of Good and Evil and the roles that they play in that afterlife.
The 'demons' in this movie turn out to be Jacob's friends, the ones who are trying to get Jacob to realize the truth. He protests and denies the notion of being dead, to which the doctor simply responds, 'What are you doing here then? This is an effective and simple movie ; it results to be a passable Italian horror , including functional special effects realized in traditional style , but also some plot elements are plain stupid. The creepy images of wide range from the genuinely horrifying to the bizarre along with scary and amazing frames.
The flesh-eating demons appearance deliver the goods , plenty of screams , shocks and tension. The picture displays shocking and well-crafted transformation in charge of expert make-up artist Gianetto De Rossi.
The make-up assistants create a truly horrible cannibal demons , zombies-alike. Pretty good special effects , the resurrection of the first demon was done by shooting a melting wax head in reverse and the first demon popping out of the television was done by having an actor wearing a mask press his face against a latex screen.
Unknown cast , though there appears a famous little girl : Asia Argento's film debut. Bobby Rhodes, who played Tony the pimp in Demons , returns as a completely different character in this sequel and Lino Salemme also reappears, this time as a security guard. Commercial musical score by Simon Boswell , full of hard rock and catching songs.
Acceptable cinematography by GianLorenzo Battaglia and good production design , as the building used for the exteriors and interiors result to be modern constructions from Hamburgo , Germany. The motion picture was compellingly directed by Lamberto Bava , as he shows nice visual style , though being lower to former installment in which he cites this as his personal favorite of the flicks he has filmed. Bit by bit he gained experience from his father, who made him the assistant director for most of the rest of his films.
Lamberto enjoyed his best commercial success to date with this "Demons" , produced by Dario Argento, co-written by Dardano Sacchetti and filmed in West Berlin, Germany. This international hit smash allowed him to co-write, produce and direct this sequel, Demons II that was also successful and turned out to be a certain improvement here and there on previous film ; however, being inferior follow-up.
He used the pseudonym of "John Old Jr. A must see for horror fans. Details Edit. Release date February 13, United States. Demons 2: The Nightmare Returns. Chased away by the classic Patronus. Spiders are inhabitants of the Chamber of Secrets, preferring to hide in dark tunnels.
