SCARY MOVIE
Yesterday I watched a horror movie called the Babadook. It’s an Australian horror movie about a woman and her son
Who are haunted by a supernatural monster.
I’m not sure how I feel about it. I think that there are some movie that are scarier, but it was pretty scary.
Somehow I’m not sure Whar the monster was. Was it a real monster? Was it some kind of demon or ghost? Was it all just in the mother’s head?
I’m not sure I can answer those questions for myself, but I think maybe I don’t need to know for sure.

Everybody Who know me know how much I Iove The Babadook, Sittichai. I think it was one of the best movies of 2014. You raise some intereting points abour the ambiguity of the movie. I don’think there’s any problem with a work of art not giving you all the answer. The problem is lately that most people who make art think that their audience is so stupid that they need to spell everything out completely. That in turn leads people to think they have to have all the answers.That tends to make people stupider. We don’t get all the answers in life. Why answers in life. Why should we get them in art-Editor
