Re: Did anyone see the movie BIRTH with Nicole Kidman?
I dont think the movie lasted very long in the theaters.. but when it came out there was some controversy surrounding it due to the story line in general
The basic premise (will not give anything away) is that Nicole's husband had died, and 10 years later a little boy appears and says that he is the reincarnation of her dead husband..
Its WEIRD

I saw it! I couldn't wait to see it, and I thought it was sooo weird. I didn't get it. So do you think the kid made it up or what?

Re: Did anyone see the movie BIRTH with Nicole Kidman?
Okay Felicia, I got done watching it not too long ago and I'm STILL scratching my head. The word "weird" doesn't even cut it. I'm trying so hard to understand what the heck happened. At one point, I thought I got it, but then things got even more confusing. I'm so lost...

Oh I am so glad that you didn't get it either!
I mean I "THOUGHT" I got it when Sean (the boy) met up with Anne Heche's character (the sister in law) .. but even that didn't make total sense.
Then the kicker was at the end when Nicole flips out after she gets married .. running into the ocean..I'm like OK WHAT DID I MISS?
So was he her late husband or not??
 DH and I sat there and said this cannot be it!! LMAO
And yeah the whole bathroom scene was CREEPY as was the entire movie actually

Re: Did anyone see the movie BIRTH with Nicole Kidman?
I SOOOOOOOOOO Didnt get it??
I also think the controversy was blown out of proportion by the media. It wasnt THAT abd. But SICK none the less!
That kid scared the crap outta me, and I SO didnt understand the Anne Heche part either? I understand they were having an affair, but it just didnt play out right at all??
The END WAS RETARDED.......
Basically 90 minutes of my life I can never get back again wasted watching that..
your not alone flee

Re: Did anyone see the movie BIRTH with Nicole Kidman?
I am kind of on the fence about this movie. dont know if i like it or not yet.
the only thing I can't figure out is for some reason I think the kids parents set him up, cause they were poor and anna was rich.

Wow .. I never even considered that theory..
Interesting!
I actually left the film kinda/sorta believing that Sean WAS her husband.. And that she knew it in the end also, which is why she had that crazy breakdown.. because really how COULD she have waited for a boy to grow up and become the man she once loved?
THEN my DH explained to me afterwards this: that all along, Sean (the boy) would only remember people when he saw them.. SO he actually had not remembered that when he was Anna's husband that he had been cheating on her with his SIL (anne heche) .. At first, he only recalled the love he had with Anna. SO when he ran into the SIL he remembered he was having an affair, but he didn't want to BE that person , hence the reason he TOLD Anna that he made it up and in fact was not her husband anymore
BUT I'm not buying that theory either completely 
ETA: the part I REALLY didnt get was the thing with the letters... WHY would the SIL want to give Anna those letters, and HOW did Sean the boy have them? I guess he followed her to the park to dig them up?
I totally needed to watch that all over again but was too exhausted by the whole thing at that point

Re: Did anyone see the movie BIRTH with Nicole Kidman? *WARNING- SOME SPOILERS AT END OF THREAD*
This is my theory:
He was not her husband but she missed her husband so much that she wanted him to be. He might have made himself believe that he was her husband because his date of birth and name. I do believe that he loved her but i believe that he fell inlove with her through her letters.
everything he knew was from the letters.
He knew Bobs name cause she must have writen that they had sex on Bobs green couch. She could have also writen that her Aunt told her there was no santa and when he saw her he could see the resembrance between her and the mother so he knew that was the aunt.
when he told the girlfriend not to anna it was not about the affair but that he found the letters.
This is just what I think the movie is about and I could be wrong!!!!!
