To me, the downer ending actually underlies an important message regarding mental illness and how dismissal from society often leads to help come too late. Yes, Rose not being able to beat the curse does harm the "overcoming trauma" message, but all throughout the movie, people saw those mentally disturbed as "crazy", "psycho", and "nuts", while the victims cried for help.
In the end, where no one believed Rose or cared to understand her despair, along with her masking her pain by always being "just fine", the curse, a metaphor for her trauma, consumed her entire being, and ended her: i.e. the help she desperately needed came too late, often sadly the case in today's society.

I liked the bleak ending, because to me, it's unfortunately more realistic. She ignored her trauma until it completely consumed her, and when she DID try reaching out, she was told that she was crazy, her sister cut off contact, and her own fiance started treating her like a wild animal who could go off at any point. By the point someone understood enough to care to help (her ex, the cop,), it was too late. She fought, but ultimately ended up losing. Which is a sad reality for lots of people. I get why people would want a more positive and hopeful outcome, but I think both ends of the coin are important to portray.

I love this ending. To me it it shows how suffering can be transferred from one person to another, whether they intended to or not. It's like a drowning person who drowns the person trying to save them.

I listened to the Dead Meat podcast episode about smile and James and Chelsea said they think the point is that youâre supposed to deal with your trauma as soon as possible and not push it aside until itâs consumed you. During the movie youâll hear the main character tell everyone that sheâs fine but sheâs clearly not fine, as if sheâs trying to bury her pain and is afraid to open up about it. Maybe what the movie was getting at was that thatâs not a good coping strategy. If her burning down the house was supposed to symbolize her dealing with her trauma then the fact that she ends up back in front of the intact house means she didnât actually face her trauma after all

I've heard Smile described as "jump scare: the movie" so I'm very excited to understand the plot without the unnecessary anxiety

The fact that Rose goes back to Joel's place before realising she's still at her childhood house could very well reflect how mental illness doesn't simply disappear and can re-surface at any given point. Perhaps she did burn the house down during one of her outbursts, but if she was somehow rejected by Joel after she sought refuge in him once her outburst was over, it could have resulted in yet another outburst. This would simply reset all her progress and get her back to the metaphorical house, where this time she was unable to overcome her traumas.
Trauma doesn't just disappear, it's a dark pit where you could fall into at any moment, that forces you to tread carefully in life and conditions you to stay alert of the many factors that could have you fall into isolation or depression. She might have one one battle, but she lost the war.

911 operator: âAre you alone? âŚare you sure?â oooh, that line sent chills down my spine. I loved it. I saw the movie twice. I was wondering what took you so long to make a video! I was worried you werenât gonna make one.

The birthday party scene, where Rose falls backward onto the glass table and cutting her arms, does really well with toying with the idea that she's just crazy. The way she lifts her arms up staring at them for a moment before screaming at the top of her lungs in anguish.

I think the ending of the movie-- while definitely a slap in the face to everything it was SEEMINGLY trying to say-- is still a real message. Sometimes people do not win their fight with mental illness. Sometimes people don't get saved and their loss leaves those they care about wondering why - even when they tried to do things right or it seemed like they were improving - they ended up still feeling like ending everything was their only way forward.

Poor Joel had to witness the death of someone he genuinely cared for and now he got the curse ;-;

I actually thought that her plan of "being alone" was for her to kill herself to save other potential victims of the curse/monster. But I thought it was a good movie. Better than what I have expected. I'd love to see a prequel to this movie with the Brazil incident as the premise.

The therapist scene got me, dude. I genuinely didn't think there was anything shady going on. So when the shoe dropped, it was genuinely tingles down your spine scary.

The only part that really freaked me out was when she's talking to her therapist, ....then she gets a call from her therapist đą gave me goosebumps

Damn, why didn't Rose's husband use his super speed even once?

One thing I noticed: Rose is approached by others offering her help, and Rose rejects them, maybe this is just how its presented in the video, but it kinda looks like Rose makes things worse for herself. This would track with the overall themes of the film: the difficulty in confronting your own demons, the apparent apathy of everyone around her, the struggle to find help, etc.

After seeing the monster crawling into Rose's mouth it made me realize when Laura was choking earlier in the movie she was getting possessed by the demon before having that smile and killing herself I'm front of Rose. The ending while our main character doesn't win the message is clear: not everyone makes it through mental health issues such as depression which leads in them taking their own life but it doesn't mean you can't try to deal with your trauma and get better but it's not always the case

i love how when she finally smiles she looks almost entirely different emotionally, gave me full body chills. 10/10

I see A trainâs superpowers carried over because he sure ran fast as hell from that relationship

I think the point of the ending was Joel triggered her back into psychosis and that the mental illness (the monster) isn't something you beat but something you face every day. So Rose does overcome it briefly but her fear of commitment to Joel brings it back. That's why she survives longer than others and not everyone dies at the same time. Also the characters acknowledge every pattern except the family members or close friends deaths before the direct suicide chain relating to some kind of avoidance.

Joel (the ex boyfriend/cop) almost immediately believing her about something weird going on and willingly helping her with anything she asks⌠is so refreshing for a horror movie. Everyone else in the movie didnât believe her and most characters in horror movies disregard the main characterâs issues
