illogical human behavior. The film was full of it.

Did you see the film? It is completely ridiculous to think that after - tinear 07:28:45 04/25/10 (1)
SPOILER
discussing the disappearance, those folks wouldn't just go and get into the house instead of waiting days. It is a logical impossibility but it does nicely allow the director to make the ending he felt was needed.
It was a narrative mistake, not uncommon. What makes this one remarkable is its size and placement.
- Of course, I saw the film. The flaw... - afilado 10:10:56 04/25/10 (0)
  ...is in your hasty, incomplete incorporation of the "linear narrative" that is THERE.
  Also - now - there's your typical intransigence for reconsideration of your position.
  Haneke spent years in the preparation and making of this film. He approved of every aspect of it before release. There has been serious, lengthy critical and public attention/examination given the film. No one else sees what you see. Think about it.
  Watch it again with an open mind. It's critical to follow who had what knowledge, their condition of mind relative to leading events, timing, etc. Break it down; it makes sense. You'll benefit from it.
  There was a time when a deeper, more revelatory exchange and discussion on such a question would have been interesting and fruitful to me and to others (I think) here. Your aggressive, exclusive, declarative manner has to a large extent poisoned the atmosphere. Film viewing is not a competition.
  "Ridiculous" = worthy of ridicule. Are you so dull and remote in your sensibilities that you can imagine that someone is going to be interested in helping you to understand something, to explain something, to provide something you want when you begin by telling them they are worthy of ridicule for possessing what you lack, for knowing something you don't, for having a differing opinion? Unbelievable.
  There's a difference between one-sidedly proclaiming a "major flaw" and in asking a fellow film lover to share insight into what you may have missed in a single viewing of a complex and exceedingly personal expression of cinematic art.
  Would you presume to declare a "major flaw" in a Picasso? In a work of Stravinsky's?
  Peaceful viewing to you.
