What's up everybody my name is Joe and this is different take. If you're new to the channel make sure to subscribe and remember to click the bell so you don't miss out on any new content. Okay so the movie. Girl on the third floor was an interesting movie and they had some things to say. Let me know down in the comments below if you have any theories of your own or if you just picked up on anything that I missed. I shouldn't have to say this but this isn't an explained video so there's going to be spoilers but you should ever hear that by now if you're watching an explained video. There are a couple of themes throughout this movie. One, violation whether it be violation of other people, violating a person's space, their house, the theme of just violation. For example, what happened to the girl? What happened to Sarah? Don de Fraud in people on their retirement funds, cheating on his wife Liz when she was pregnant, he's constantly putting his friend Milo and others in tough position. There's different forms of violations just a constant theme that's just sprinkled in throughout the entire movie. Throughout this film the filmmakers want you to feel uncomfortable. There's fluids and nasty goo and oozing out of every orifice of the house. It's pretty damn unsettling. Also almost every conversation in the movie they go with this close up shot but not at like a slight angle. It's basically a straight dead shot. It's pretty uncomfortable and it's meant to be that way. It's meant to make you feel as if someone is violating your personal space. Then it worked. Everybody has been in those conversations where someone's talking to you and they're just way too close to your face. Like they're just really invading your personal space. Like you just need a boundary where someone just cannot cross and they're just right up in there. Just step back. Just step back just a little bit. Theme one. Do. Theme two. The second theme is the theme of cause and effect. The choices that you make, what you choose to do or not to, your choices have an impact on not only yourself but others around you, especially people close to you. It's about accountability. Holding others accountable and taking accountability for your own actions. Actions have consequences. Everyone at this point has turned the blind eye to Don's actions before. You defrauded people out of their retirement funds, then it gets all busy for his prison sentence. He cheated on his wife Liz while she was pregnant and she turned the blind eye and my little turn the blind eye and everybody turned the blind eye. No one held Don accountable for his actions. So Don and Liz are moving into this house and it's a fixer upper. As Don put it, this house is their second chance. That line is not only to be taken figuratively but literally as well. For each character, this is literally their second chance to do the right thing. This is their test. The character makes her advances to Don. That was a test. Don had a choice and did Donnie Boy learn his lesson? Hell no. And dude didn't even hesitate. Even a dog is like, oh, jackass. Don't make the mistake again. Don't you make the wool. Because the dog and barks and then DMX barks. You got it. He's trying to write his wrongs and then he chooses to cheat on Liz. Again, this time with a ghost. Seriously? Bad. Damn. Alright, never mind. Forget what I said about the ghost thing. Well, she's the lady of the night. No, don't get too excited. Getting back on track. It wasn't just the act. It was how he treated Sarah afterwards. The answer he got what he wanted. He was the only one who just threw away. Just like the guy did before. He threatened her and he just didn't take how she felt into consideration. That's a common thing he does. He just does not take anyone else's feelings into consideration when he does the things that he does. Never sold out help from Ellie, even though she said to come to him for help. Speaking of Ellie, who else caught on that she was a ghost? I'm pretty sure that she was. A couple days later, Don's friend Milo comes over to help with the house and Milo says something to Don about Sarah. Don Milo gets into a little argument. Don says, if you can't handle it, don't be here when I come back. Bitch, I'm helping you for free. He is helping you for free. Shots your mouth. Good. Don's a dick. Anyway, that was a test. Milo had a choice. Milo stayed. I would have left. Milo stayed and turned a blind eye again to what Don does. Milo encounters Sarah. This is Milo's chance to do the right thing. When he tells Sarah, I'm sorry Don's nassol. Good start, Milo. Good start. Very good start. Please, stay on this track. You got it right, man. Just keep it going. Then he says, you need to get out of here. God damn it, Milo. You blew it. You blew it. You had it and you blew it. Milo doesn't do the right thing. He doesn't hold Don accountable. He turns up blind eye again. So Sarah goes, all right, okay, do you want blind eye? I'll give you a blind eye. Wack. No! No! No! Sarah literally gives him a blind eye. Then Cooper the dog. Poor Cooper. This dog unfortunately becomes a victim of circumstance. Now Don could have prevented this just by doing the right things but cause an effect. For every action, there's a reaction. Actions have consequences. Go to bed. So when Don goes to the police about what happened to Cooper, that was an interesting scene. Don is telling the cop about the incident with Cooper and how Sarah won't stop messing with him. Cop has taken notes and he says that he'll put the name in the description in the report. But there are no signs of struggle, no evidence of forced entry. And he points out that the whole time Don was sleeping upstairs and didn't hear a thing. Donnie Boy gets irate because he feels like the cop isn't doing anything about it. Oh, look, baby. It's an interesting choice of words. Go watch that scene and listen to that dialogue again. I think what Travis Stevens was trying to do was, I don't want to speculate. But I'd hell with it. This is what we're doing here anyway. So this conversation could be very comparable of how victims of assault have gone to anyone of authority to report it. And they feel like that the authority figure is dismissive and isn't doing anything about it. And I'll just mean cops. I'm talking principles and managers and bosses and whoever's in charge. So Don does bad things to people and isn't how to countable. Someone does something bad to Don and he wants them to be how to countable. That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. Like little Donnie Boy is getting a taste of his own medicine. Essentially, Don apologizes to Sarah for everything that he's done to her. This was another chance for Don to write his wrongs and learn from his mistakes. But it was all a scheme. I used to read Word up magazine. It was all so we could catch Sarah off guard and take her out just to shut her up. Don says all the right things that Sarah wanted to hear. Which means that he knew what he was doing hurt her and he knew how it hurt. He just didn't care. Don the cons strikes again. Who will never learn, will he? I think Travis Stevens was trying to make it so this scene is comparable to when perpetrators are apologizing in court to the people that they've hurt. Only when they're faced with consequences is when they start feeling sorry. And they say all the right things. But it's usually just so they won't get in trouble. Even Sarah asks, did you rehearse that? And she even compared the gift from Don to a bribe. A couple days later, Don finally meets his fate and gets taken out. But note what he was saying when that happened. Why are you doing this to me? What? After all the bad things he's done, he still didn't think what was happening to him was justified or warranted. He thinks of himself as a victim but never anyone else. But he has to go forward to Liz finally arriving at the house. One of her first tests was when she sees what happens to Sarah. Liz yells stop. Liz did something. Liz did the right thing in that situation and Sarah took notice. Sarah then tells Liz what happened to her and the girl at the house when it was a brothel. But Liz's real test came when Sarah poses Don promising that he can change and it'll be different. Anyone else noticed he didn't apologize to that whole thing? It's like even in death he didn't apologize. He just answered to understand. As far as she's concerned, this is Don. He doesn't know that it's Sarah posing as Don. It's Don. It's done. It's hard to understand and say that it's okay. Just say you understand that it's okay. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Liz finally learns from her mistakes and says no. It's not okay. Sarah actually says I'm proud of you Liz. I thought you weren't going to make it there at the end. That line might get lost with all the craziness that is happening in that scene. That scene is just wild. Liz then goes to LA and does the right thing and finds Sarah's body and gives her a proper barrier as forward six months later. We see that Liz and the baby are still in the house looking safe and sound. Where are they? Wait doing. There's more spirits. There's more skeletons in the closet if you know what I mean. What are you doing? It's not over yet. Because Sarah and every other spirit may not be there. We see that Don is still there. My takeaway is this that it could mean you can't run away from your demons. You have to learn to live with them or that you can't run away from your past. You have to learn to live with it or that she ends up staying in parallel with her relationship. She stays in the relationship. She stays in the house. And unfortunately again like a relationship she stuck with Don. If anyone out there has any other theories on that last scene, let me know in the comments below because I'm not 100% certain on that.
