Anderson, make us proud with "The Crazies"!-jorgekluney
Well, scratch that, guess he's not working on "The Crazies" anymore. *grumble*-jorgekluney
In Session 9, Gordon is suffering from legitimate mental illness but he also becomes possessed by a demon. The demon is the same entity who possessed the young woman that we hear on the audio recordings, and this entity is the force that coerced the young woman into murdering her brother and parents.. just as it coerces Gordon into murdering his colleagues and family.
The young woman on the tapes does suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder and that accounts for two of her alternative personalities.. but the third personality we see manifest through her is actually the possessing demon. Dirk Diggler Jnr 21:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's really no evidence that there was a demon involved at all.  But the movie is intentionally open-ended about that.  Is Gordon possessed?  Or is he merely affected by the place itself, and has lost it?  That's part of the appeal of the film, is that it's possible to debate stuff like that.--MythicFox 09:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The film almost heavy-handedly supplies evidence to the fact that Gordon is suffering from MPD. The use of the "Simon" voice of Mary Hobbes' personality wasn't likely intended to imply that the same "entity" was inside of Gordon. It does seem like an easy way out to give voice to Gordon's own MPD problem without actually spoiling it early on or stretching it further into the film for unnecessary length of story. My personal standpoint is that it isn't the same personality of Mary's, especially given that hers had a specific name, but it is the same type of violent personality that any individual is prone to when they are in a dissociative or emotionally/physically traumatized state.71.156.91.239 07:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I was originally going to edit the 'landmark' bit out to reflect that, but from doing some quick checking it's implied that it is possible to demolish a place on the National Registry as long as it's properly documented.  Someone should check on this.--MythicFox 09:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: various statements of opinion 

message: It appears that Danvers State Historical Landmark status could not save the historical building from being sold and torn down to make way for real-estate development. Since this is the case, I removed the historical landmark link from the Session 9 information. Here are some suitable replacement links.Tanstaafl28 01:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed link to Historical Landmark 

message: I'm removing this link, as it's a lousy film review. (And take a closer look at the website it's on, especially the Glossary. It's not endorsing plain vanilla Healthy multiplicity. If you think several aliens from another dimension are sharing your head with you, then Goddamnit, Pavilion supports your right to believe that.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.247.5.49 (talk) 16:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: please do note that it is a admitted fact that this movie gave some idea to Silent Hill 3
Deleted, someone over the age of twelve write a better Silent Hill 3 parallel.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaosdefrost (talk • contribs) 00:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi I think Simon is a contagious weapon Gordon got in his brain from some building. From the Cold War or something. It's like, translating number station output into terror hallucinations and urges to kill. It's solar powered so Jeff's nyctophobia is ironic because everyone is much safer in the dark. I just noticed. Well not just now. Goodbye  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.13.31.196 (talk) 01:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the alternate interpretation at the end of the plot summary because it lacks objectivity or any citations for that matter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.127.100.182 (talk) 23:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed "Alternate Interpretation" 

message: Someone added to the opening paragraph of this article that "the aerial shots are filmed at the College of the Holy Cross." I do not believe this to be true. I live very close to the site of the former Danvers State Hospital and have visited the site several times, both when the hospital was standing and after its conversion to condos. All of the aerial shots in the film appear to be filmed at the actual DSH site. Additionally, the buildings on the respective sites are architecturally distinct enough from each other to avoid confusion. I find it telling that whoever added this information neglected to cite any sources.
I'd remove this myself, but I don't have an account here and my one attempt to edit an article on a wiki-style page ended in me messing up the page's formatting because I had no idea what I was doing, and I don't want to do the same thing here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.203.23.38 (talk) 21:35, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: aerial shots 

message: Yeah they gave me a brain implant and then gave me Olney's lesions (DXM brain damage) which this movie actually foreshadowed for years. Simon represents the implant, the lobotomies represent DXM. Look it up, it's a huge molecule, really bad for you. They made me take it eleven days. Really really funny. No... so the implant was given me in 2008, it started bugging me Jan 1 2010. Check out singularity-aliens google group archives for a lot of talk about it. And the DXM damage was done in 2010 in the summer. Still a good movie. I guess. Peace
