THINGS HEARD & SEEN (2021) Ending Explained

Hello what's going on? Welcome everyone to the films founded in this entry. Let's explain that we are seeing

things

heard

and

seen

where an artist moves to the country and begins to suspect that her marriage has a sinister darkness that rivals the history of her new home. Well, we have. The latest big hit from Netflix that we have in our hands here. My thing with their originals is that that usually means they aren't very good on a fairly consistent basis. That is the case. Netflix is ​​much more interested in releasing new content regularly than quality which is a rare trait, to be fair this one isn't all bad but it's pretty boring for the most part which is reflected even in its generic title.

Things

heard

and

seen

. I feel like I don't know what you're giving me here. A more appropriate choice might be don't marry a jerk because that describes the story much more accurately anyway, much of the runtime is dominated by a musty family drama that sees our protagonists' marriage slowly fall apart and the supernatural aspect really feels more like the b plot type. There was more going on compared to all that other stuff and I thought the

ending

would follow suit with something pretty obvious, but no, the

ending

was completely crazy and I actually respected it for going that far because I honestly didn't see it coming. .

There are also a lot of little details in the story that help us make sense of it all, as well as the ending, so there's actually a lot to cover with this one, so let's dive into the

things

seen and heard by breaking down the story. are the ghosts dealt with and what the hell is going on with the crazy ending? We open with a quote which is always a promising start. This I can declare that the things that are in heaven are more real than the things in this world. He says a bit of an idiot, really, this guy is Swedish. a mystical philosopher and all his ideas are kind of the backbone of our entire story as we will see a car approaching in the distance and stopping at a farm informing us that we are in the winter of 1980, a man george stops and Takes a moment of deep consideration, is confused by a blood splatter on the windshield and looks up at the ceiling as Moore falls flat on his face, rushes into his daughter Franny on the couch, looking out, takes her to a field running toward somewhere.

As we flash back to the previous spring at Franny's birthday party, everyone applauds as she blows out the candles, but she uses more than one breath, meaning your wish doesn't come true. You trick a friend and deliver a cake to Catherine, who is busy, and she tells the other ladies. I've been noticing that she's looking thin lately and she's right in the bathroom forcing herself to throw up. Things are improving. It seems that to the young family, George is officially a doctor now and has already gotten a job at a small rural college in the state.

Oh, him. It must be good, her friend expresses her concern about this big change, she is a city girl and everything, except for her, is all about George's well-being, he hates the hustle and bustle and she found out, after years of marriage, that He has been receiving financial help from his parents, who recently cut him off, the poor baby has to grow up, huh, she clearly feels bad for him, she concludes that he has made sacrifices for her, so she is obliged to try, busy at work, we are finishing a mural of George's bust to let you know you have found the perfect house.

Well, Jesus, thank you for involving me in that process and hopefully we'll start again in the field. In bed, she acquires whether he is nervous about tomorrow and he is not at all. She tells him that you know first day nervousness is nice. normal and has an idea how to help him de-stress wink wink starting to get down to business in little franny's room there are a bunch of creepy dolls around and a clown light starts flashing annoyingly the cat stops in the middle from their make out sessions strangely smelling the car exhaust he jokes what do you think ghost uses premium oh george you're cut off franny hears squeaks and the chair creaks alone she screams running scared wanting to sleep with them much to george's frustration at school Floyd meets his new boss who mentions a particular passage of his dissertation that he liked the most, although George says that he had a harder time with that part, the idea that some mystic could deceive a modern person.

Floyd defends that he is not just a mystic and that everything The natural world has a counterpart in the spiritual world. George himself is a non-believer and scoffs at writer Swedish's claims of communicating with ghosts and stuff, but Floyd is much more open, even a fan of the mystical calling and invites him to his seance. He has a welcome gift for him, a book titled Heaven and the Spirit World and Hell. The cat obsessively climbs the scale, frightened by his vibrating toothbrush and falls on it, breaking the glass. There is a knock on the bathroom door. neighbor boys cole and eddie offer their cleaning services and best of all they are cheap and cole is a great babysitter who is already making a quick connection with little fran by noticing her choosing the salad and he scoffs oh you're back to the salads, now she excuses herself by saying that she had a great lunch, but what? about the smoothies you skipped in the morning a day later, George plays with Franny while she drinks the smoothie watching them having a good time, standing alone in the corner while she finishes washing the dishes, she discovers an old Bible kept in the cabinets, inside there are family records including deaths from 1817 onwards to 1877. that surname crossed out considering them cursed hears a ghostly echo and some kind of wave of energy floats over the glass bottles to a ring lodged in the window sill which he can remove with a knife the emblem appearing to be two women embracing, he visits the local historical society for more information and discovers that there is a photo of his house hanging showing the owners from back in 1882, assuming that the wife here is the one who is cursed, while So much, George.

He's doing some research on his account about the young student Willis he sees with an art history book. His conversation is casual but he still has some flirting going on. He meets Franny and the girl asks him for help with a word from the book he reads. he shouldn't be here he shouldn't be here while mom is away yeah quite appropriate george he's obviously already having lustful thoughts the cat breaks into the turtle's house slapping his flesh in the shower after class george meets the His tennis partner's wife Justine, who wants to invite the couple as George, has already developed a cult following at school and wants to see what all the fuss is about.

She loves the paintings that adorn his wall, since it was the drawers that painted it, but he is strangely humble for a change, promoting his wife as the real artist in bed, again welcomed by the smell. . George complains that he realized that he is coming from the garage and that he is going to get some fans. She's going to check it out anyway by listening to some distant Mozart. playing the piano that gets louder he rushes to see that there is no one on the keys frannie catches a glimpse of a woman and shouts to mommy he tells the cat that he saw the lady and again lets him sleep with him george is also upset another Maybe thinking that they just gave her her sedative prescription that all of this would stop Catherine finds the book that Floyd gave to George and decides to read it herself starting with a passage on earth we are all associated with those in the spirit world like we are in a sense attached to them, the whispering ghostly voice repeats his words clearly, that is what we are going through here, this spirit is similar in some way to the cat and the two are connected in that way, as it is written in the book as he runs, george ends up in the stables where Will is worse and decides to have a totally platonic and innocent visit, they share a brief chat and some awkward laughter about what he's doing here even though she calls him presumptuous, she guides him back to a room and clearly They go down home.

On the phone, the cat complains to his mom about feeling lonely and quickly hangs up when George comes back signaling a good trot, uh, he stutters yeah, I don't know what happened to me, handing him some flowers and he hurries to get ready for class. He grabs the ring and places it on her finger throwing the flowers in the trash, then Eddie finally meets his new boss. He asks her not to reveal what happened in the house. Worried about how Cat would react, he agrees, since he and his brother are alone. I'm here for honest work.

George still finds it strange that they want to be here. He replies that taking care of this house is like second nature to us. Obviously some kind of horrible event happened in the house, hence the ghosts and everything that happened too. tied to Eddie and his family who must have lived here George comes home later and Eddie tinkles on the piano and the cat drinks. He is clearly distraught and laughs about it, what a surprise, Eddie uncomfortably gets up to leave, but insists on staying and finishing playing. the cat scoffs, the man of the house has spoken, he finishes the damn song and drinks the rest of his wine.

Fannie is woken up by that damn clown of hers, she blinks and hears whispers, the lady is back, smiling at her, which was actually a little creepy, but it's not like she was trying. to hurt her or scare her, you know there has to be something more here. George has another relationship with Willis and starts to get weird wanting to get to know her better. She remains closed and wonders what's wrong with her. She's been around guys like him his entire life. The life of her father, a lawyer, made a fortune like him, just the way it works for men, she groans, it's time to have dinner with Justine and Bram calling themselves mere tenants of her house, since places like this will outlive them.

From everything we learned, Bram moved here to work on a novel, but he actually spends most of his time getting high while Justine shows off her weaving studio and describes the process as spiritual and cosmic, even in a guilt-ridden way. take credit. Wow, yes, weaving the work of the cosmos, I'm sure whatever. You say ma'am, I use the power of the cosmos to sew a small blanket for your cat, you want me to make something for you and since George already asked you to make a scarf, you can add it to your order. Talking about children, Justine says they were conflicted but Mother Nature finally made the decision for them.

Kat admits to feeling conflicted throughout her relationship with George. I wonder why since she got pregnant, then she got married and everything else she felt like the last few years were a blur on the way back. George complains about Bram. The easy life must be nice to inherit a fortune and go all day without riding, she questions his ability to drive after smoking a joint and he's like, yeah, I'm totally fine, but to mess with her, I guess he randomly speeds up the car. Advance. On the way he suddenly stops laughing, he was just trying to have fun, remember that, but she is understandably upset for rejecting him and things only get worse, he blames her behavior on alcohol, especially on an empty stomach, she shouts that she is tired of everyone blaming. all of that he grabs her and she defends herself with nails in the face and he throws her away sending her hard to the ground a line has definitely been crossed, he at least makes a half-hearted attempt to make amends by promising that she would never make him hurt her and He admits that he hasn't been sensitive to his knees oh you think so george yes it seems that these spirits feel that this reconciliation is a bad idea and they intervene through the clown's light that flashes just as he says voice breaking the only thing I know is that I love you and the light really explodes as if the spirit is trying to indicate that something is inherently wrong with George.

The wedge between the couple only grows deeper. The cat begins to have a life of its own and goes to an independent women's art group. and conversely, before she gets home, he meets a displaced and hungry george, but she already ate with justine fleeing upstairs leaving poor and useless george alone outside. Justine is still there, giving him a dodgy look before walking away, she goes boating with Floyd learning the tragic story of his cousin Henry the two used to go boating all the time and he actually drowned while boating on the ship, but hey, at least george inherited the lost horizon in an attempt to connect with him after his death, he stole his diary learning that he was gay and unhappy, a typical tortured artist he says, but then it all fades away forever. murmuring is also inconsequential, floyd and his favorite boy, once swedenborg, disagreed, death is just the beginning, urging him if he read that book he gave him, george promises him it's excellent. from my list oh sure friend for floyd's surprise when he returns to george's house cat is there reading it herself floyd even more convinced now that there are no coincidences explains to him that the cover is to represent the transition of a soul to the afterlife believing in Death is parallel to birth, but you know that dying, instead, the two become even more connected whenThey take him upstairs on a tour, the ghostly energy manifests and he sees it quite clearly himself, Floyd knows that, just as he suspects, he wants her in particular based on the clues he has so far.

She believes she is Jacob Smith's wife and he offers to do some research on her behalf. She is pleased, but she urges him not to tell George once he leaves. Even George is impressed by her connection. She adored you. Smile. She asked if she said anything. What's happening? What about me of course, God, what self-centered idiot feeds her ego? He feels emboldened since having company went so well, they should invite the entire department. She wants to invite the locals and the neighbors too and he literally laughs at the idea, but finally gives in to her wishes, the party in full swing, the mayor, the real estate agent, inadvertently telling the orderly story of the house, calling her a saint for getting the kids back, she's like what and Mary stutters, oh, you know the whole story, right?

What a story he tries to leave, but he demands that I tell him everything. She was her friend, the child's mother, and her husband, as she remembers, was a cruel man in a way you can't imagine. she heard that calvin gave her and the kids a sedative and when they were unconscious he went out and shot every cow they had after this he went to the garage and suffocated on the car exhaust hence the smell before , she supposedly never woke up. Kat woke up in the morning and now realized that she was wrong about what spirit she was seeing, she was actually Allah all along, not Smith's wife out sharing a joint.

Justine and George have a kind of tit tet, he accuses her of putting ideas in the cat's head while she. raises suspicions about how much his students adore him she says she's just being honest in believing the truth will set you free he doesn't agree no one wants a truth or to be set free he says who shoots the eagles well if you're living your life based on Eagle lyrics, I can't help you in a power play, he has to see her wrists and starts grabbing them tighter and tighter, dares her to let go and finally lets go and leaves upset, well that was weird, it seems like George is slowly. going further, here he walks in with the cat washing the dishes as always, bragging about the success of the night, but she can't help but know the truth about the house, he apologizes saying it was just to protect her and want her to be happy. .

Here they are interrupted once again by Ella's spirit, the radio turning on and blaring static. George angrily picks her up and tears her into two pieces, finally silencing her. She's had enough of ordering him and Fran to go away for a weekend with the grandparents he uses. As a chance to dig deeper into the past after finding out her details, he calls Floyd ready for her session and wants to know why he's approaching her. floyd has his own information about the original smith family, the as yet unnamed wife was a follower of swedenborg, so it seems that it was actually she who originally opened this door in the house on the other side, her marriage was unfortunately not a happy one and she died mysteriously at a young age hmm, he has some sort of wife murder pattern. here in this house, huh, the cat laments about the number of deaths that have happened, but they believe differently, embrace the inhabited houses as a blessing, these spirits could be like guardian angels that will shepherd us to the other side and such Maybe in the next life we ​​will reach a higher spiritual level.

She's confused by the optimistic outlook of ghosts, aren't there bad guys too? They insist that they are never bad. Evil only enters, we are welcome, but good always triumphs. It's time to start calling the spirits. The lights flicker and the candles. They blow one by one the table cloth rises into the air blowing around the room they hear the ghostly voices of what sound like her and Calvin and according to Floyd she wants to make her way but something stops her probably Calvin and the room returns to the same. normality the fabric flutters lifelessly to the floor somewhere else george accompanies a group of students on a field trip and is joined by a surprise guest justine turns out floyd wanted an extra chaperone but i bet he's trying to find out more about what's there Beneath the disguise of her personality, she has given more alarming evidence of her husband's extracurricular activities at the library, as Willis has a book borrowed under his name, Dad's friend Fran intervenes and she is like that trash and It is okay for the bank to open its own separate account in the meantime.

More holes begin to be made in George's facade at an art museum. She meets up with a former colleague, Dr. Warden, after enthusiastically giving information to two co-ed students. The Warden immediately attacks him, wishing he had the same level of passion in his lecture, but he waits. Wasn't his dissertation so good that he won her the job? Hmm, something doesn't add up Georgie Boy, interrogate further how you got the job without a recommendation and the house of cards collapses. He's just a temporary instructor who stepped in to help point out. It's interesting because everyone was calling you professor, he gives a lame excuse that he's tired of correcting them and Warren says, "he's fine, loser." Then Justine witnesses the whole thing and asks what's up with that and he laughs limply, I have no idea, worried that she's moving on to expose him, he orders Cat to stay away from her, thinking she's an obsessed lesbian. with her creating problems between them.

Cat just rolls her eyes in disgust, not long after, her shoe falls, Floyd confronts him and she received a call from his school. The advisor claims that he never wrote him any recommendation, yes, he falsified it, claiming that I wrote the letter that he deserved. He wants to understand why and George begs for him to put it on hold until after the holidays, around the table, someone who is supposedly George. Dad is also an idiot when they raise his nephew Henry from him, he makes fun saying that he doesn't know what's worse: drowning or him being gay.

Wow, the apple doesn't really fall far from the tree here, huh, the cat stands up to him, that's very offensive. and his mother agrees in remembering him as a bright and talented young man. She remembers small seaside paintings she made before his death. She was about to do an exhibition and somehow they all disappeared. Geez, George, you stole them too, didn't you? dead cousin and everything to pretend that you are a god artist this guy is the worst seriously she discovered it herself and leaves the table george finds her in the bathroom again to that he says in a critical tone she answers it turns out that I'm sick george vomiting our marriage the door closing and closing on its own thanks to her hearing that telltale ghostly echo really trying to protect her from george at this point in the night we hear for the first time the male ghost counterpart of her, the first one growls, no one understands We see George in the car with the engine running, the voice beckoning him to free himself, which must undoubtedly be the spirit of Ella's husband, who still lingers as well and has clung to a rather evil or at least greasy nature.

George, as they say, evil. welcomes the evil cat is sobbing on the swing set that eddie found complaining that things aren't great, which i guess must be an outtake reused for the movie because yeah, things aren't great. Seyfried Eddie says he knew guys like George, but tempts her by saying he did. others who would worship the floor she walks on the cat going straight to seduction taking control over the young man uh that's how you do cat I guess well it's only fair that he cheated first and it's not like the marriage can be saved in this point anyway, meanwhile, george leans more into his darker nature by tracking down floyd and is invited on a boat trip.

He wants to tell her the truth about what happened. george complains something about misreporting sexual misconduct. Floyd reminds her, regardless that what she did is still a crime and that she can do it. He's not going to keep it to himself tomorrow, he's going to bring this to HR and they both know the outcome: he's going to throw it out the door, the Georgie guy is obviously going to take the opportunity to throw him out the door. They can't be fired like that, Justine runs. in Willis at a restaurant noticing her scarf and asking where he got it from, stutters that he was a gif and runs out of there suspiciously it must have been the one she made.

He waits outside George's house, a soaked George breathing heavily, surprised by the high beams of his car. They continue their confrontation back and forth asking her if she's stalking him now, but she makes it clear that she only cares about Catherine, oh, and what happened to that scarf she made for her mom, saying oh, not him. She cared and felt cheap. she serves well that explains who the neck ended up in ooh i got you burned she's getting tired of the games if you have something to say just say it she promises oh i'll start the car and drive away driving down the road a couple of lights another car appears behind her and speeds up and runs her off the road, obviously George, she was definitely getting too close to his secrets.

Now the cat runs into a naked George and he basically ignores her by lying that she got sick, well, I'll sleep. Down here, she casually tells him that I don't want to catch whatever you have. He starts trying to reach her own spirit, asking for a sign if you're really here, and right on cue, a bird flies across Franny's room and runs towards everyone watching in silence. He jumps out and flies away. George overall tells him to ask her boyfriend to fix it in the morning. She wakes up to the news of Justine's accident, while George has some business of his own in town and needs that prescription filled for his daughter's night terrors, the doctor believes. that justine will never come out of the coma, but she knows that justine is strong and still has hope on the radio, she learns of floyd's sudden and mysterious disappearance, another member of the department informs, quote, george about it and he exaggerates it and collapses. tears, his death is for his benefit, he mentions that he needs an interim chair and your name came up and he tries to act cool, yeah, yeah, I guess he could do that considering he was about to lose his entire career, you know, but he won.

It doesn't come off so easily in class, each of his slides is the same image, the cover of the book Heaven and Hell, increasingly scared, he asks who did this, no one admits it and he decides to just do it and leaves at home. The cat smiles at you. he comes in early and asks if something is wrong, well you skipped the smoothie again, he has one ready and says she was putting Fran to bed. He is disappointed because she wanted to kiss him goodnight and he defiantly bursts into a room for one anyway, pulls back the covers and sees that she is fully dressed, as if the couple were about to boldly escape from the house. , the lights start flashing and he aggressively grabs Cat and drags her down the stairs, she lets go and goes for the phone. he rips it off the wall by stomping it to pieces she brings up her entire list of misdeeds he accuses her of losing her mind no, I've woken up she cries and continues throwing luggage into the trunk but suddenly she doesn't feel well no Doubt thanks to As George added some of those drugs to her smoothie, her vision starts to blur and she manages to limp back inside, holding on to the stair railing, she hears the piano playing, it's her calling her down the path of destiny. she can withstand the sharpest stones so you don't feel her pain but another's free will is hers alone she keeps crawling weakly she literally taking care of her saying she would give her life again but she doesn't have the power to stop this cat she finally succumbs to the drugs she she whispers as she fades away just like she was there for me, I'm here for you, her husband's voice answers non-stop, she screams turning into a ghost, a screaming match, whispers fill the air as George stalks the halls wielding an axe, the man's voice squawks to free you cat passed out in bed those who commune with evil will never win she in tones a black shadow passes overhead while george sobs and when he looks back he has transformed into her reiterating a kind of loop of murders that have occurred in the house as well as the connection between her and Kat and he throws the ax at her again and again, splashing blood everywhere and he falls to his knees in anguish driven to murder his wife thanks to the annoying voice of Calvin George He carries on with business as usual while he can, places the sea paintings in his new, much larger office, returns home, now returns to the opening scene and tries his biggest lie, but calls the sheriff and brings him to Franny to the neighbor exclaiming some things.

It happens that the police arrive at the house. George, a nervous wreck, climbs the stairs to the bedroom. The cat's body is still there wondering if it's his axe. The lights flicker ominously as he stands in the doorframe. He is immediately arrested, but the policeman stupidly believed that this was the case. It was a robbery gone wrong.when his alibi checks out, he was teaching all day, they decide to just let him go and it looks like he might get away with it, his parents hug him promising they will hire a big city lawyer and catch him. charged with all charges related to what Willa said about her own father and the bastard men who always got their way, so there is little hope for how to proceed with the case by discussing it with the mayor.

They agreed that George did it, but there's no way to connect the dots as to where justice is for the lady in that house and it comes in a surprising and rather strange form. Justine still in a coma has her mind flooded with dream images and the words of the guardian angels and she has a flash of what appears to be a cat and Ella now as literal angels, yes, they tell her it's time and she suddenly regains consciousness , his eyes fly open thanks to the dream dump, he now knows everything George has been hiding at his parents' house and his mother walks in to tell him that an old friend is gone. a message justine pales as she accepts the sticky note i know everything that threatens even now calvin's spirit is still with him they made this happen it's his fault he frowns they always try to hold you back you are envied unrecognized telling him to trust his impulses who conclude their ghostly talk with a guttural movement, he continues eternally trying to escape from his many problems, huffing his way to the marina, a guy tries to stop him by warning him that the boat is in bad shape, but a fish full of cash silences him and he's on his way watching the ship it's the lost horizon the one he inherited from poor henry we also stole credit for the artwork god this guy is an idiot seriously it looks like he'll get what he deserves after all in open water we again see angelic she and the cat that whispers similar to the ghost before the gates of hell are only visible to those who are about to enter, the one who is evil is also in punishment of the damned, they sing and in front of him an orange cloud appears that must be the aforementioned gates of hell he tries in vain to turn the boat back the spirit world is not between heaven and hell we are between the two the ladies carry on as george is consumed by an inferno of water fire the scene where the upside down cross and what it represents throughout is a recreation of that book cover of heaven and hell, a soul's journey to the afterlife, for a long time, George is also important, as the cross points out, this is the opposite of the book, instead of going to heaven, is hell, what they narrate more About their destiny, it is thanks to you that our powers grew from small drops to an infinite sea, focusing on the ring and the image of the family Original Smith.

The idea of ​​being here is actually these three aggrieved women working together who made this happen. their power is compounded by being linked in this way, as they say it began as small drops in an endless sea, implying that they actually brought the gates of hell here for George. Another clue to this is right before the cat was killed. She whispers that she will help. her as she did before and this actually refers to Mrs. Smith, it seems like this is where the whole kind of murder cycle started. We know she was a fan of Swedish, who is not, but her husband was strictly of a different ideology. and she finally died under mysterious circumstances it must be that she was murdered with an axe, just like her and cat, anyone who inhabits the house is drawn into the spiritual battle of this couple and each time it ends with the wife brutally murdered, i.e. .

Until now, well, she was still murdered, but the cycle is broken when the husband who fills the role, George finally gets his in the end, yeah sure, the cats still died, but the concept that Floyd and the others constantly bring up is that death is another type of birth and In death, we actually become more powerful beings in a way between heaven and hell or, as we literally saw the guardian angels again, the end of this was in a way more banana expulsion than I thought, especially after much of the runtime was dominated by his marriage falling apart, seemed somewhat down to earth for the most part and then really went off the rails with that final score.

In a weird way, I really appreciated the direction things took and it wove a pretty detailed story, but you know that doesn't necessarily mean it was good because a lot of this was a non-scary, unengaging experience and a crazy ending can't make up for it. That's par for the course with Netflix originals anyway. Are you going to do it again? It's about quantity over quality by a mile, that's all for this time, but don't forget that before we go, you can send me requests for any movies or TV shows you'd like me to explain to you. them my way on any of my social media accounts on foundflix what did you guys think of the things seen and heard and is it ending?
