Oooh, so you are from Slovakia! I liked Hostel very much, but that's what I was wondering about - how people from Slovakia reacted to it. I mean, there could be negative impact on tourism and some harmful stereotypes depicted, too.

Yeah people are so kind in Slovakia and there’s not very much corruption and wars there. Most Slovakians hate that movie lol

Ty for tagging me @sincerelyzai !

can you elaborate on your hostel thoughts?

alright so the first 40 or so minutes of the movie are basically some douchebag men buying sex and hooking up and it feels like this was really important to the message of the movie. josh, paxton, the other guy (cant remember his name) and all the other victims of the elite hunting club thing, were kidnapped for the pleasure of others, not for sexual pleasure but instead for bloodthirsty rich people to kill and torture. this mirrors human trafficking and sex work (obviously some sex workers actually choose sex work out of their free will but not most) because people are harmed and "taken advantage of" (not always literally) to benefit those who can afford to "buy" them whether that be for sex or for torture (those aren't mutually exclusive though). this ends in death or permanent trauma for the victims. i think in the end, the guys started out as the "buyers" (sex) and ended up as the "sold" (torture).

its not a perfect analogy and i dont like the way the movie portrays my country (slovakia) and it has many flaws however i do genuinely enjoy this movie and the message kind of stook out to me idk if this makes sense.

a bit morbid but i really see a strong analogy.

also i forgot to include how its common in horror movies for the roles to be reversed and i felt especially bad for josh (and paxton kinda) because once we found out about their lives and stories i got some sympathy. however the movie brutally kills josh, (and paxton dies in the sequel spoiler alert) without any regard for them. common role for a woman to have in a horror movie

hostel really does have such an interesting view on the objectification and violence against women in horror. like the first 40 minutes have objectification and sex and all that, and then cuts to our leading men getting tortured. its really so interesting. and josh’s torture is even more interesting because josh was the nicest one in the group, and it really is reminiscent of the nice girl in horror films getting killed brutally. the brutality and the lack of sympathy for the main men. its so. movie.

“Amanda’s first trap doesn’t make sense because she didn’t have to hurt herself to get out of it” yes girlypop Amanda was so far gone having to hurt herself would have done nothing and taught her nothing. Her automatic reaction is to hurt herself whether it be through drug abuse or sh. It was only by having to harm another human being that she learned anything or recognized that she didn’t want her life to end, but it was also having to kill someone else to live that doomed her to ultimately fail her last test and die. She is still so haunted by her actions and belief that she didn’t deserve to survive the trap that she makes her traps unwinnable, because if she didn’t deserve to survive then no one does. If she didn’t emerge from her trap reborn and made new like jigsaw wants her to believe then no one will. While she wants so badly to believe that people are inherently good, jigsaw tells her they are not good until they have survived a trap. And yet she survived both of hers and here she is, still not good. Still not fixed. And it’s her misguided attempts to follow jigsaw who she does not really believe in that ultimately ends in her death, because she can’t find it within herself to trust him one last time, having seen herself that his philosophy is wrong, but she also does not want to lose the only thing she has left to believe in. John tells her not to kill lynn, but the letter says to kill lynn so that john doesn’t disown her, and having something that she doesn’t believe in but that gives her a sense of security and care is so much better than being alone with her thoughts and actions

crying.. i was just asked by my parents to go see oppenheimer before i go to miami..

ive already seen the movie twice and i love it.. but i can not and will not watch the fucking florence pugh and cillian murphy sex scenes with them.
