Talk:A Tale of Two Sisters

Interpretation of ending
I also wondered about the ending of the summary with the mother & the step-mom. It's never clearly shown whether this is the stepmother or if it was Su-Mi having another vivid hallucination. It could honestly be interpreted either way. It could be exactly as it appears, it could be Su-Mi thinking she's the stepmother & getting dragged into the cabinet, or it could be Su-Mi imagining that entire scene in her head. The intrigue of the film is that you never know if certain scenes were imagined or if they really happened. Should that part be changed? There's no real way to know for certain, so I think that the summary ending for that scene should be ambiguous. I'm going to put in a little note, but I'm wondering if it should be changed entirely.

Step-mother almost told Su-Mi about sister
The plot summary didn't put down that the step-mother did have somewhat of an intent to tell Su-Mi, but stopped when Su-Mi was so abusive to her. I saw that action more as a way of getting revenge on the sisters for being so abusive towards her more so than eliminating an obstacle to the husband. (It was probably in the back of her mind, but I got the revenge angle more.) I don't think that it was an attempt to let the mother die- I got the impression that she was already dead when she was discovered by Su-Yeon. I did sort of wonder if the mother was actually murdered by the step-mother, but that's more speculation than anything else. I'm going to change that bit because it was pretty obvious that the mother was already dead & that the only person who was dying at that moment was Su-Yeon.

Incorrect Plot Summary
I'm deleting the plot summary because it's wrong. I just watched the movie and tried to follow along with the plot summary, but it was impossible because the summary didn't follow the movie. It's pretty good for the first half or so, but then it diverges.

You're right, whoever wrote this summary has no idea what this movie was truly about. For the majority of this film, Sumi and her father were the only ones in the house. Suyeon and Eunjoo are made up by Sumi because she feels so much guilt that she let Suyeon die. She makes up all these hypothetical situations that get increasingly more extreme to try and delude herself into thinking that she is always going to "be there" for her sister. The last few of these delusions backfire on her, as she creates Eunjoo to be too realistic into reminding her that she is delusional. This film was not created for a one-time viewing. The pieces only come together at the end, unless you've got a watchful eye. Watch it a second, third time, and you'll realize that every scene has significance.

Perception vs. Reality
This movie is a surreal exploration of the divergance between perception and reality during the onset of mental illness. There really should be a section of the article that groups Soo-mi's perceptions logically with comments about which are more delusional and which are closer to reality. — Chris Capoccia T&#8260;C 19:37, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

The Folktale section
I can't comment on the accuracy of the story, but a lot could be done to correct its grammatical errors.

Requested move
The only reason why this was moved to (2003 film) was to make room for the remake. Since the remake is going to be a different title (The Uninvited) there's no need for this differentation.--CyberGhostface (talk) 15:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Schizophrenia vs. Multiple Personalites
The article mentions both schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder (which is incorrect anyway - it's now called Dissociative Identity Disorder) in the same paragraph - contrary to popular belief, while the symptoms are similar, the two are very different disorders. Which of the two is it? Seeing as its trauma incuced, I'd have to go with DID... 168.105.209.226 (talk) 11:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)SoonJung


 * You're rights its DID, these symptoms are not as congruous with schizophrenia, as they are with DID... Unfortunate —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.113.173 (talk) 21:07, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
