RESURRECTION (2022) Ending Explained

Sucked

David was real. She gutted Peter which was David's plan all along. The ending takes place in a cell. Reality is her new nightmare, and the dream is her escape. David was Frankenstein. She is the monster.

I just want to have the unhealthiest psychotic dysfunctional relationship with her..........

I think the real David existed in the past, but the one we see in the movie is not real and it's just hallucination Maggie is having. Few things point to this, from ending which is obviously dream-state, the final scene with Tim Roth, Maggie's daughter saying Maggie is "having an episode", and motel owner saying there's no David. I think "David" was just some random guy Maggie fixated, or he was actually the guy she's having affair with.

I think what happen is when her co-worker started confessing about her abusive relationship, Maggie relived her own trauma and she had mental breakdown, and also what might have triggered her condition was the idea of her daughter leaving. Considering trauma of David either murdering her firstborn son (or forcing her to abort the baby), she would see her daughter leaving as abandonment. Real David probably existed in the past, but "David" she meets at convention was just some random guy that might have looked like him.

Another interesting scene was first scene where Maggie speaks to David. He legit acts like some random guy Maggie just mistook for someone. Then he says that "he's in my belly" line which doesn't really fit natural to conversation they were having. This might be just Maggie having mental breakdown and injecting words this "David" said, and it's not something he actually said. Next time you see David at dinner, he's like full blown supervillian, it really contrasts with how he speaks the first time we see him.

The protagonist is kind of cute.

Rebecca Hall... she chooses movies that are 100% unique and worth watching.... even if they are bad you dont feel like you wasted time

Great video! Movie sounds like dogcrap....

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS KILLER BREAKDOWN! I just finished watching, or shall I say...WITNESSING, this incredible film and I found myself utterly FLABBERGASTED upon finishing it! ^..^

Its never to late for tuckytime !

A lot of ppl are saying they don’t think the current David she’s seeing is real but how do u explain the tooth in Abby’s wallet…she definitely isn’t hallucinating him.

Great actors in a film that was poorly constructed. The mystery is explained halfway through in one heavy handed long dialogue. This is followed by repetitive scenes that drag out for an hour before culminating in a senseless brutal scene. It was a very thin flat story that had nowhere to go, took its time getting there and tries to be smart with an ambiguous ending that had me wondering WTF were they thinking.

Ugh - Obviously she was driven completely insane. David was REAL. He was obviously messing with her daughter (the tooth - the bike accident). Psychological brain washing and abuse caused reality to no longer be possible. The power of suggestion is very strong and, yes, it is possible to drive someone crazy. For example, the thought that this guy was EVER actually handsome is impossible - he is ugly and always was. He groomed her and her "hippie" parents. She should have gone to the police then, but could not prove the baby was born because she had it at home. He tortured her and she ran away but as soon as she saw him, it triggered her insanity. At the end, she is not shown in an insane asylum, but she obviously murdered someone so that is where she is, and her daughter is just visiting her or she is imagining her there because OBVIOUSLY her baby was dead all along.

I feel like I don't even know if I like this movie because literally every single thing in it is open to interpretation and there is no real clarity to anything. But maybe that's the point, to keep me thinking as much as I have since I saw it a while ago.

I hated it. I wish I had read these comments before I watched it past half way.

Biking and drinking is how one of neighbors died. He got run over by a car of a old man that was also drunk.

She’s already in a mental institution in the end. she was so worried about ending up alone, having an affair with a married man, daughter going away to college, counseling the coworker as a way to express what she wishes she would’ve done in her past abusive relationship, all these are triggers for an episode like her daughter said, clearly it’s happened before, and the last shot was her realizing that she was having another manic attack.

Mostly forgettable film but one of my favorite Rebecca Hall performances to date (still have a soft spot for her role in The Prestige). The scene where she tells the intern her story was great stuff.

Pretentious Garbage.

You dont have to go through the whole movie, just highlight he themes and hidden meanings.

What if everything is just in her head? Like what if Abbie was just the representation of Maggie when she was younger, before David abused her? And Maggie made her personal life up along with the routine for some sort of “control” but deep down, she truly wants to break free from her trauma (represented by Abbie trying to break away)?

David showing up again would cause this routine to crack along with her reality while falling back into a submissive behavior when she was still being abused. I think David forced her to have an abortion, which he holds over her.

Maggie killing her abuser would be her attempt at freeing herself but her mental state being too far gone. Abbie leaving would be that desperation to break out of her trauma basically being snuffed out and giving into the delusions.

Would really put the movie in a darker tone than it already has.

I had written a lot, it disappeared by mistake, but for me everything is true but it turns out that schizophreina can appear until the age of 45. Either the whole movie with David is fake and we go into his schizophrenic episodes, or David is really there but the last scene in the hotel room triggers a schizophrenic episode. The drugs on her nightstand in the last scene with her daughter in the bedroom show that she is mentally ill.
I think David is caught up in her episodes because there really could have been a problem in her life causing real trauma with this abusive relationship, she couldn't have another person on her mind like a voice saying 'do it' (bare foot walk).

This is some A24 shit

In the end I understood that the film is metaphorical, but I didn't like it. In my analysis, she is tied to the oppressive man because of their child and then she manages to get rid of this "husband", but still shows a remnant of fear of facing life as a single mother. But what about the daughter...?! Confused...

This movie is so bad. It is nothing more than femi-nazi propaganda, Sick and boring . This is so bad, you will cringe.

I believe Maggie has schizophrenia. The first hint is her saying she used to isolate, draw for hours, and lose track of time. I think Abbie's going off to college has triggered an episode and she hallucinated David and the entire story of Ben. I also think a baby could represent how she sees Abbie even though she's grown up and is becoming more independent.

Not sure if I said this before, but thank you for providing such good descriptions and info on movies I'd be too scared to watch. ❤🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🖤🩶

Why wouldnt she call the police after leaving david in the 1st place ?

Emotional abuse can be one hell of a story teller - I think this is so interesting how it’s a flip on the “woman trapping the man with child” and the “mental abuse” they can be seen with that —- getting a flipped perspective was imaginative. Really resonates with abuse

What a stupid movie.

Rebecca Hall is a lot like Elizabeth Moss in the way that she loves to play women who are THIS close to absolutely snapping. And like Elizabeth Moss, she’s a great actor

Bad audio

I just found your channel a few days ago. I'm hooked! I have a movie addiction and I love that you are covering movies I have seen and you help with any lingering questions I may have had. Thank you!

Eh glad I didn't waste me time watching a film that won't give you an actual ending, still so many questions unanswered. Stupid movie

Damn you Pavlov.

So if David really did come back, he was just walking around sitting on a bench by himself every night?

Remember when she opened the drawing that he gave to her that she worked on everyday before they met? It wasn’t a drawing but something from the mind of a mentally disturbed person. She may have always been mentally disturbed and if David was real, he watched her knowing this and knowing that he could easily manipulate and torture her because of her fragile mental state.

Rebecca Hall is an absolutely brilliant actress. She can balance that unhinged persona beautifully.

Please do the whole resident evil film franchise

I think that David is a real person and that he did indeed track her down.

She had been perfectly trained and molded by his grooming, his love bombing, and his rules. She was "perfect" until she became pregnant. Then he was unhappy because the pregnancy was something he couldn't control. I think he didn't realize that just giving her the command to not give birth would be taken literally, instead of what he most likely meant which was to have an abortion. So in the end she did have the baby, which I'm sure he realized meant he now would be second to the child. So after realizing this, it fostering hate/jealousy over time, he finally was fed up. Then sent her to get provisions as he knew there was no other way to get to the baby without her in the picture...

He then either chopped up the child and buried the remains, or I think he may have eaten the baby. Given how much of David's teaching and indoctrination of Margaret is very much like a cult leader and he may have seen this as a way of re-dominating her, as well as making her stay.

I think she got pregnant with her affair partner's baby, which she then gave birth to, or even that her ex had a baby in the room from a second woman he groomed, so she after killing him and opening him up may have in reality not seen the baby there but did see a baby in the room. Which she decided was hers.

There is also the possibility that she didn't find a baby in him, but was immediately hospitalized in the mental ward, where she was disconnected from everything so she doesn't remember that time, and then gave birth in the hospital which caused her to return to reality. Which just happened to be right around the time her daughter left for college. The daughter may have required a late start or it's her returning after a break.

So when her daughter said 'she'd be safe now because her Mom made sure of it', it caused her to remember David, which caused an immediate panic/anxiety ptsd type attack to begin.

Abusers can be killed.
Abuse Survivors can move forward.
Abuse never leaves a Survivor Unscathed, it leaves Scars so deep they take a lifetime to heal.
Abuse alters a Survivor's view of the world, and crumbles the beautiful, innocent, and naive bit of life called Childhood, it violates the sanctity of morality and life.

It's so sad, but I'm a part of the statistics for Childhood SA, the statistics that someone who was abused will likely be abused again, and that in my adult life I'd be assaulted. All these facts are true for me. I truly wish no one else has to be 3 years old and have to lie to their parents about why they've begun wetting the bed again, or be terrified to sleep over anywhere if the Mother isn't going to be present or if the father is the main one who interacts with the children. I pray so hard but everyday more cases are reported and so on ect.

I think the whole movie was Maggie hallucinating. David. The baby. Its not difficult to understand. As far as how I felt about it, I didn't really enjoy it. Overlong, and one dimensional. Needed more.

This was one of the most bizarre movies I've ever seen. It made me angry/sad/confused all at the same time

She schizophrenic. Ben may never have existed. David could be a figment of her imagination.

something about that last scene with bright light and Abby holding the baby that we know is dead, both in white, made me think that Abby died at some point in the beginning of the movie.

She’s amazing! I watch any movie she’s in.

As much as I enjoy Hall, I can't say I enjoyed this film. As for that ending scene, I think the set and lighting also hint that it's not reality we're seeing -- bright, dream-like, white and sanitized.

I had to deal with a teenage girl. I learned my lesson real quick. I started waking her up in some weird wacky ways. I hardly ever done it the same way. She would have an attitude every morning. After I started doing dumb things she could help but laugh. She would be so mad but still laughed. Just a hint to any parents who haven't figured out how to bypass the attitude each morning.

Oooof. I get the feeling I should have just watched this 35 minute ending explained, then wasting 90+ minutes on the actual movie. However, I'm not sure which was one WORSE tho. Oy.

Maybe the violent hotel scene was her giving birth to the baby boy and metaphorically killing David who represents past trauma which had resurrected when Margaret became pregnant again.

Coincidently or not Abbie was the same age as her when she met David. I don't recall Abbie ever talking to anyone other than Peter. Peter was also confused when Margaret said children. We assume that he was confused because she used a plural but maybe it's because she never had a child. Maybe Abbie was the version of herself before she met David which she's been trying to protect but felt she was in danger again when she fell pregnant. It would explain why Abbie doesn't have a father. Margeret is Abbie and Margeret is trying to protect Abbie from past trauma which has resurrected from falling pregnant.

My interpretation: She was placed in a mental instution until she aged out at 18. She stopped taking her meds and literally hallucinated EVERYTHING.
She does not have a daughter, She probably just was functioning working and having meaningless sex because she does not have any real social skills. Her seeing David was a function of her making up a complex story due to being off the meds.🤔
