The Others will soon leave Netflix France
The movie The othersdirected by Alejandro Amenábar and released in 2001, is preparing to leave Netflix France on November 14th. For lovers of suspense and thrills, this is an opportunity not to be missed to (re)discover this work often cited among the best of its genre.
The others is set in the immediate post-war period, in 1945, and follows Grace Stewart, played by Nicole Kidman, who lives in an isolated villa on the island of Jersey with her two children, Anne and Nicolas. Due to a rare disease, children cannot be exposed to sunlight, forcing them to live in near-permanent darkness. When Grace hires three employees to help them with their daily lives, Strange events begin to happen in the house. Mysterious apparitions, unexplained noises and a heavy atmosphere heighten the tension as Grace fights to protect her children from a threat she doesn’t understand.
The film is renowned for its haunting atmosphere, its careful direction and its convincing performances, especially that of Nicole Kidman, who offers a performance imbued with finesse and strength. But what makes it truly memorable is the final twist, which completely reinvents the perception of the story and leaves the viewer stunned.
A memorable ending
Indeed, the key revelation is that Grace and her children are long dead, victims of a tragic tragedy in their home and that they are actually “the others” all along and that the strange events they witness stem from the spiritualism session they takes place at home.
The tension increases when Grace realizes that she was the source of one’s misfortunehaving killed his children in a moment of madness before committing suicide.
This twist, masterfully orchestrated by director Alejandro Amenábar, completely changes the perspective of the film. The clues scattered throughout the story then take on their full meaning. For example, they take children’s behaviors and interactions with servants one more dimension in light of this new truth. Small details, such as the fact that the children cannot stand the light of day, symbolize their inability to face the reality of their situation (death), which is the central theme of the film.
Amenábar said he conceived the film around this turning point and then built the story around this revelatory moment.
The turning point of The others was critically acclaimed and remains one of the most iconic films in cinematic history. Revealing the true nature events that take place in the villaAmenábar forces the audience to reconsider everything they have seen up to that point. This twist helped make the film a classic of the genre, often compared to other high-impact works such as Sixth sense.
