New Theory... kind of (SPOILERS WITHIN)


OK, so I've just recently seen this movie and I've come on here and read the theory's about how Natre doesn't want to hurt Tun and she just wants to be with him forever. Well I think that is BS, at least partly. I mean some of you make it sound like she's all lovestruck and its just her trying to be sweet to get back together with him.

I think it's more along the lines of Natre saying "you did something really horrible to me to get away from me so now guess what. I am going to force you to be with me whether you like it or not and I'm not going to make it pleasant for you." To say that she is just still some little girl with a hardcore infatuation/crush on a guy even when she is a ghost is wrong in my opinion. She doesn't hold nothing but love for Tun. I think it's more of a vengeful love. I mean look at her face when they were raping her and she was calling out to Tun to help her. He did nothing and you could see the hurt on her face that he was letting them do this horrible thing to her. If all she wanted to do was be with Tun I don't think she would've had him fall out of a window. She may want to be with him but there is a part of her that wants him to suffer too. He destroyed her to get away from her and now she is going to destroy him by forcing him to be with her. I think there is more vengeance and anger behind her motivations then people tend to think. While I still think there is love and need to her motivations I definitely think it's balanced between the anger she has for what he let his friends do to her.

Oh and on a separate note Tun is an *beep* Summing Tun up here: "I am a guy who goes out with an unpopular girl so I break her heart because people will make fun of me if I go out with her. She won't leave me alone now so I let my friends gang rape this poor girl while I took pictures to humiliate her even more, all while she called out to me for help." I know he wasn't as cavalier about it as I'm making him sound but it still doesn't change what he did to that poor girl. Kudos to the filmmakers for making me feel like that because I can't remember the last time I felt that enraged over a characters actions in a movie before. They really did a good job.

It's just... I was saving that bacon!

I want to agree with you, but when I try to, I think of the final scene. I know you can't see Natre's face well while you see her on Tun's shoulders as he sits in the ward.. but.. it just looks so innocent. She looks almost like a child there on his shoulders, and as much as she terrorized him through the movie.. something there just really made it click for me. As much as your theory makes sense, I feel as if she just loves him so desperately and wants to be with him. While she was alive, she seemed sorta.. unbalanced and disturbed, so I can see that she could still love Tun despite what he did. Especially with the flashback line of, "Maybe the ghosts want to be with who they love." ( or something like that ).
