this movie was a mind fuck. i just finished watching it and i dont really understand the ending but ill try to make sense of it as i go along with the summary.
it starts off with alan rickman, a goverment interrogator whos trying to get this children book writer to say that her book "closet land" has anarchist messages for children. the book is about a child who is locked in a closet in punishment for bad behavior by her mother. while the child is in the closet, she makes friends with a bunch of animals who comfort her. the interrogator thinks this idea is showing anarchism to naive children. (SPOILER ALERT) which is not the case when we find out she was abused as a child by some man and the closet is a form of escapism. the man turns out to be the interrogator which left me wondering how did she not figure that out by his face or his voice.
the film leaves us questioning if the government should use inhumane and brutal torture to receive confessions from victims. if want to watch a movie that makes you think, check out closet land. the entire movie is up on youtube. if you read youtube comments, you'll notice that most people would enjoy to be tortured by severus snape.
