The Oregonian (2011)

Out of all of the movies I have watched in my day, The Oregonian very well may be the most strange movie I have ever watched. But it is this quality that made this movie enjoyable for me. To be honest, when I watched this movie I never at any point had any clue what was going on or what the purpose could be. I think this is the reason why this movie has gotten some negative reviews, because the critics don't appreciate true intellectual weirdness, aka genius. I did not have my true appreciation for this movie until afterwards, lying awake at night wondering what the hell I just watched, and looking up explanations on my phone. After reading various websites, I came to the conclusion that the true genius is that there is no right answer as to what happened in this movie. You can guess and use logic all you want to but two people may never have the same interpretation of the content and story which makes it a different experience for everyone. I hope that if you are reading this review wondering whether to watch this movie, you are looking for something unique instead of another goddamn boxing movie. Its the same plot every time how are these still selling. Well long story short, you need The Oregonian. The world needs The Oregonian. P.S. if you planned on calling your grandma any time soon I would do it before you watch this film

It is honestly sad that there is an actual limit to ten stars for the greatest mystery and horror flick to have ever been created. The Oregonian stars a battered blonde in a hot mess, on the run from a troubled pass of getting put in her place. She is lost and travels through the woods in Oregon that is probably only five miles from a bar considering the number of car accidents caused from alcohol. Other than their message of do not drink and drive, it is also made clear to never leave the farm. The real lesson is that she should just stay in the kitchen.Maybe your husband has to discipline his wife a little bit, but it is way more dangerous to leave the farm. The film has a mysterious monster, and twist that will leave at the edge of your seat. Always remember to watch out for granny and never trust the green monster.

From the very first scene this movie will have you hooked. The Oregonian is like a the craziest roller-coaster you have ever been on, it has the ups and downs and loopy loops. At every turn there is something unexpected, keeping you engaged the whole time and on the edge of your seat. The filmography is truly exceptional and how they changed for scene to scene and from third person to first person was truly beautiful. And it contains what every great movie must have, a truly masterful sound track. Between the music and the filmography there truly is not another movie that can match up to this one. And of course how can we forget the lovely granny in the red a truly inspiring character in this movie and executed perfectly. i hope one day I will sit down with my family in our living room and we will all enjoy watching The Oregonian.

Throughout the very confusing and almost non existent plot, there are few words ever exchanged by any of the characters and this leaves the audience to make their own depiction of what is truly going on in this movie. A common phrase is seen throughout the movie though, it appears on a picture and a tattoo on the hippie, it says "Live it". I feel as though this is the common theme throughout the movie, it is simple and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Not knowing her name or where she came from, the main character makes some questionable choices about who she trusts and who she travels along with. But just like the main character, we have no idea what the future holds for us and it is the uncertainty that is most frightening to most people. The phrase "Live it" is a great way to think of how you should live your life, don't hold back or you could miss out on something life changing.
