Rewrote truly grotesque misrepresentation of the ending of the film. Original text managed to portray the murderer as a kind of savior, which the film in no way implied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.65.208.78 (talk) 17:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The film DID make clear that the woman was desperate to save the baby--that was the whole point of her agenda and her motive. That WAS why she saved Sarah at the end and killed the officer, because his actions were dangering the child. No one's making her out to be a hero.--CyberGhostface (talk) 18:41, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree with this representation of the film. The plot section should be a description of the film, not a description of the character's motivations. A proper description will lead the reader to the same conclusions they would if they were viewing the film; descriptions of character's motivations without quotes or citations are indeed OR. --Williamsburgland (talk) 16:06, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to clarify--the film makes it clear at the end that voice at the beginning was Beatrice Dalle's character. Opening scene has mother's voice going "Finally inside me. No one can hurt him now." Near the end in the flashback we see Beatrice Dalle in the car saying the same exact thing while holding her pregnant belly and when she gets hit we get the same exact shot of the fetus recoiling in the beginning.

This isn't speculation or even something that's inferred--it's made clear. There's really no way this could be disputed or be viewed as

But it is OR - you just ran through the work you did to reach that conclusion. See my (admittedly late to the game) note above - if it's not a face value description of what the viewer is seeing it should not be in the plot section unless it's cited. --Williamsburgland (talk) 16:08, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So instead either of us letting this detail turn into a huge issue, why not simply say what you've written above - a flashback brings us to the first scene of the film shown from the woman's perspective? It serves the same purpose while letting the description of the film tell it's own tale.

I also need to point out that the section after that which says the woman performs the C section to save the baby's life is also OR as far as I'm concerned. The woman's intent throughout the film seems to be taking the baby; nothing indicates her motives have suddenly changed to bring about the same outcome. All that matters is that the woman performs the C section and takes the baby. --Williamsburgland (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
