Some parts are good but like RoR the ending is super annoying.

Okay, so I can see how this echoes, in a way, my perception of the RoR ending. This really puts a finer point, if your will, to my thoughts.

Never heard of this ‘Orphanage’ movie, but I’d be more than willing to take a look.

I just wat`hed the orphanage today and may I say it was astounding, Who would’ve ever thought she had accidentally locked her son in the secret downstairs room and having so much guilt she decides to take her own life to stay with her son. I guess the part where she says I wish to have Simon back is her last wish for finding him? after playing their game?

Okay, everyone remember why Laura’s husband in El Orfanato gave her the medal? For luck if I’m not mistaken. It was said that she would only give it back when she found what she was looking for…her son. Dead or alive (though as we know dead) she found her son. She took the necklace off outside the orphanage on the steps. Then the husband as he is moving stuff out finds the necklace *in* the house on the floor. This makes him happy because he knows and understands that she did not die/disappear in vain. She found what she was looking for and he can by happy for her. This is very important to understand. Just like when Jennifer is finally remembering the reality of her nightmares and chooses Brown over Wendy (this can be understood after Jennifer leaves the Orphanage in the Once a Time Chapter to give Brown his collar and to promise him that she will always protect him until she dies, she completes the bucket knight to watch over him. He is but a helpless puppy tied up (hence a lot of the tying up with rope during the game – Brown had been left tied up – think of the guilt that racks up when a promise is not kept). The main point won is the importance of everlasting true love which belonged to Brown, because of his unconditional love towards Jennifer, unlike the selfishness of Wendy who only wanted to get rid of Brown. Unfortunately for Jennifer after leaving the tragedy of the orphanage however the means over the years she had forgotten her promise, and Wendy was able to branch out towards her (beginning with being the little boy on the bus with the story book) in order to make Jennifer remember – this time in hopes that Jennifer would choose her instead of Brown.

Thanks for the recommendation, RozenMaiden.

I looked up Saint Ange, a.k.a. House of Voices, on Netflix and found that it is currently among the films that can be streamed for instant viewing.

The ending of El Orfanato is almost identical to the ending of Saint Ange (2004).

Saint Ange is also set in an ex-orphanage, and the movie is open to interpretation. It got some horrible reviews on imdb but I thought it was really rather interesting, and the atmosphere was awesome. Lovely score too!

PS: I feel I should add that even though the movies share similar endings and themes, the stories are different, so if you’ve not seen Saint Ange, give it a try, you might like it. ^_^m/
