Copy it. Samara wanted her voice to be heard throughout time.
white. White stands for purity (or death in most Asian cultures), and the scene where you first see the rose is very gray and dark so it sort of pops out. It was just so obvious it screamed "symbolism". (Through most of the movie my friend and I were going "That's symbolism right there." It's that dang AP training!)
nose bleeds. I'm trying to figure this one out... was it just spitefulness on the girl's part or did it mean they were getting close to something important... or maybe the fly -- that stupid fly!
it was raining. Rain is always symbolic, and it extends further then just the fact that they live in Washington. I mean, they picked Washington for a reason, right?
electrocution. There has to be something there -- there was water everywhere! And you were, of course, shouting at Rachel not to step in it.
water. I found this to be the "I died in water and now I'm going to kill you to be mean" sort of mentality on Samara's part.
static. Not just static but pure TV fuzz! It's especially creepy because most TV's now have that blue screen option. It's like the deterioration of the mind... which is apparently happening because of all of the different sorts of waves in the air (according to Katie).
flashes of pictures. This probably isn't so much symbolism as subliminal messages. And it was freaky how the static got really loud- it was the only time in the whole movie where I actually closed my eyes- I deal with scary situations very oddly.
| Are Katie's two other friends that died called Scott and Stacy? | The Ring
|
yes. When Rachel was writing Katie's time of death on the pad of paper you see the names Stacy, Scott, and Josh.
| What time did Rachel watch the video? | The Ring
|
5:13. If you look at the VCR when Rachel puts in the video it clearly says 5:13.
