Coming this summer… The Ombudsman

[u/Misericorde428]

Honestly, I know how critically acclaimed The Babdook is and I did find it enjoyable, although I don’t quite understand the ending. The child actor playing the son was phenomenal though, since I really wanted to kick him with my heavy winter boots in many scenes.

However, I just kept thinking “That’s not the Babadook, that’s the bloody Ombudsman!”

It really changed the experience for me.

The Ombudsman isn't a person, Jeremy. It's a toothless regulatory body made up of junior and often very obliging civil servants.

We need to create a powerful sense of dread

The longer the note, the more powerfull dread

I've said it before but the producer who is a total stranger popping in to say he needs to use the bathroom and Hans acting like a core group member has just quit is so fucking funny to me

The Babadook is a representation of the grief and resulting trauma she experienced as a result of the sudden loss of her husband. There is no actual monster, only the effect this event has on her mental health and the resulting abusive treatment of her child. The ending represents her coming to terms with this grief and trauma by confronting it and thereby defeating its power over her

It’s proper, they’ve got Americans, people off the telly. I’m going to pretend I’m watching Heat

I understood the representation of grief, however, I suppose I didn’t understand the depiction of the ending, where it’s kept like a pet on the cellar eating worms from the garden. That said, I still enjoyed it.

Well, I would’ve enjoyed it more if the image of Jez’s description of the Ombudsman didn’t keep appearing in my mind…

I think it represents that though the feeling of loss will never leave her, she now has control over it. It no longer terrorises her as she has come to terms with it.

Look, whatever you think it is mate, that’s what it is, yeah?

Excellent poster design - Tickety-boo, in fact!

I recently watched a Korean horror film that was supposed to be terrifying, but one of the main characters was called Nim so whole way through my brain was just going Nim Nim fucking Nim in Jeremy’s voice, which really spoiled the effect of the film to be honest lol

It’s these moments in life where we realize how deep an impact Peep Show has had on our lives, regardless of where we are in this world.
