Prisoners

I don‘t even know where to begin. The cinematography is beautiful and so are the colour transitions that happen during the movie. The warm pink light when Ralph sits in Anna’s room. Or the icy blue light when Loki is outside of Hollys house.  So are the cuts to a black screen, it adds to you forming your own opinion and theory because you get a second to breathe and think.  As for the characters they‘re awesome. Every character is in their own prison. For Keller we see how he changes and is trapped in this prison of wanting to find Anna doing whatever he thinks he needs to. Finding himself in this spiral of religious guilt and violence. Bob and Alex both are trapped in their prison of solving the last maze.  I think Alex is one of the best written characters ever. I don‘t even think he doesn’t want to tell Keller where the kids are he just can‘t. He‘s probably been trapped by Holly and her husband for a decade. He‘s been drugged/abused and brainwashed. He‘s severely underdeveloped in both social and mental development. So how should this guy who is now tortured by Keller tell him anything. Same goes for Loki, details like his blinking are so minor but still make him feel more human. So are his reactions, him looking at the picture of Hollys husband at the end and realizing how dumb he‘s been.  All in all it‘s a phenomenal movie and I see myself rewatching it because there for sure are so many details I missed. I do like the end tho, because while it‘s clear that Loki will save Keller it adds to the fact that they‘re all not having real happy ends. And not seeing what staying down there did to Keller was probably better.
