birdlike 0 #1 July 27, 2008 I got "The Omen" from the library and am watching it now. (It's the remake, not the original. More's the pity; I hate the growing use of CGI effects more and more these days.) Anyway, in chapter 15, at 03:01, Liev Schreiber walks into Julia Stiles' hospital room (I wouldn't mind being in a room with a bed with her! Rrrowrrr!) and there, very prominent on the wall behind him in the dimly lit room, is a small yellow placard with a black skull-and-crossbones on it. I know that in movies, there is nothing in the mise-en-scene that is not deliberate. So, what is that thing there for? It's eerie looking, and it's not placed next to anything I can see that would justify its being there (like a tank of poisonous chemicals or something). Is this a placard common in British hospitals? Or is it just some fanciful pseudo-hospital thing that the movie folks decided to put there for creepiness without actual meaning?Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aresye 0 #2 July 27, 2008 Creepy movie overall. Thanks for bringing this up right before I go to bed. Now I can try and fall asleep, while I think back on all those horrible images I took about a week to get rid of. *Flashback to the jackal in the mirror.* *Shudders* Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours.
