I found myself really rooting for the protagonist in this film. I felt as though I was right there in the bucket struggling for freedom and so close! Only to end up in yet another predicament. I thought the film was quite thought provoking in that it ended so abruptly. Did Sebastian make it out from under the bucket? I would like to think yes, but then I am an eternal optimist.

[–]Silicone_Lube 49 points50 points ago

My favorite scene was when he moved to a bigger house. But then soon found out, moving to a bigger house has its own brand new set of challences.

[–]ligament 17 points18 points ago

Top google result for "challence".

[–]jollyholliday 8 points9 points ago

I hate myself for reading like 4 of those poems.

[–]Silicone_Lube 3 points4 points ago

D'OH! Just reread my comment and realised my mistake.

[–]SmoresPies 7 points8 points ago

it was a beautiful mistake

[–]Silicone_Lube 6 points7 points ago

I would feel better about it if the letters "c" and "g" were just a little bit closer to each other on the keyboard...

[–]doctorchubbs 12 points13 points ago

I will be awaiting the sequel.

[–]hansschnier 34 points35 points ago

Sadly, they decided to produce a remake first.

[–]Crim91 10 points11 points ago

Oh man, that twist ending had me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for them to complete the trilogy.

[–]hansschnier 4 points5 points ago

Well, I don't want to spoil anything, but this might be your lucky day.

[–]cualcrees 6 points7 points ago

I hate this remake! They only added a little more suspense when the bucket is falling on top of him! Still, the remake sits at 85% on Rottentomatoes.com

Edit: orthography and format.

[–]idma 3 points4 points ago

Fuck critics. They always rate poorly. User ratings was 98%

[–]jbenz 8 points9 points ago

I liked this movie the first time I saw it... when it was called Jurassic Park. "Well... we're back... in the car again." This film was simply derivative drivel.

[–]Silicone_Lube 1 point2 points ago

George Lucas got his hands on it...

[–]Shnazzyone 1 point2 points ago

I don't like old movies normally but the how the main charachter's life is plunged into such terrible darkness after a brief glimpse of freedom from his restraints... just a timeless theme.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 6 points7 points ago

A familymember told me a story about turtles.

A friend of his had two cute little turtles that lived in a aquarium/terrarium. Every christmas she'd put them in a goldfish bowl on a pedestal next to the beautifully decorated dinner table and her family would watch as they swam around in the bowl. The whole family was together, even the pets.

One year, one of the turtles drowned. Pretty strange, since turtles can hold their breaths for ages and swim around the ocean for years.

Turns out they were land-turtles and had spent the last few years swimming for their lives hours on end every christmas eve.

[–]who8877 2 points3 points ago

That is really depressing.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

I know. On the other hand, it taught me to investigate before I assume. Unlike my friend who had a turtle and assumed it moved at turtle speed. That sucker escaped out of his ground level flat faster than he could clean the terrarium.

R.I.P. Padda, Norwegian winters are not agreeable with turtles.

[–]ligament 0 points1 point ago

Should have eaten it.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

Apparently, turtles taste good. The Green Sea Turtle is known as Soup-turtle in Norwegian.

I never had one, so I don't know if I like turtles.

[–]ligament 0 points1 point ago

Yeah they're not bad at all. Some folks around here hunt snapping turtles and eat them. I had turtle soup in New Orleans and it was really tasty.

On a related note, groundhog tastes like shit.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

revolver-journalism, quick! - Strangest dish you've ever eaten?

[–]ligament 1 point2 points ago

Pigeon pot pie. Barbecue scorpions. Chocolate covered ants.

Can't think of anything weirder right now.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

That's ok, it's plenty strange already.

But then again, who am I to talk.

[–]ligament 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah, natto also. I freaking love natto.

[–]ThisGuyIsOnAMobile 0 points1 point ago

While we're on food (I assume you live in southern USA?), what is the most popular food in your that you hate and why?

In Norway and for me, it's meatballs in brown sauce with potatoes. It's pretty popular here, but to me it's absolutely tasteless. It's gut-fill, as we say about food you don't enjoy but still eat.

[–]ligament 0 points1 point ago

Actually I live in Iowa.

I hate cole slaw. I have never met anyone who hates cole slaw.

I think this is a wonderfull visualization of Plato's allegory of the cave.

I get it because he is a turtle

[–]bunglejerry 1 point2 points ago

Shit, another shell.

[–]Squalor- 1 point2 points ago

That was all a part of his plan. Now he has two shells.

I don't care if this is a repost because I always enjoy it. I like turtles.

[–]gianthokiefan -1 points0 points ago

I've seen this like 12 times. Is it too much to ask for some original turtle gifs?! Stupid reposts.

[–]Irishfanbuck 1 point2 points ago

You know what? I've never been disappointed by a turtle gif... And I thank you for keeping that alive.

[–]SonicFlash01 0 points1 point ago

[–]bitbee 0 points1 point ago

This actually made me laugh. Thank you OP.

[–]pok1natcha 0 points1 point ago

SHAZAM!

[–]igor_mortis 0 points1 point ago

the title/caption strikes me as a universal thought process any living thing would have in this situation. i wonder what the turtle thinks instead of "fuck".

edit: actually it's fascinating how one might think without the use of language. but i'm sure this is an old topic for the experts in this field (cognitive science?).

Ironic thing is as I was scrolling towards this post, I hovered over and triggered an ad that covered this post. (Now said ad banished, fuck you internet.)

[–]LeCaptainCanuck -1 points0 points ago

regular like clockwork, repost is strong with this one

[–]Nonbeing -1 points0 points ago

This gif is cute and funny, but I also found it really disturbing, because I imagined what would happen if no human had been around to witness it (i.e. the turtle would probably be trapped until it died).
