Lesson Four: Capstone Review (The Grudge) The film I recently watched was The Grudge. The film was filmed entirely in Tokyo where Japanese director Takaghi Shimizu brought the popular Japanese horror stories to the American movie viewers.

Perhaps it is the engaging plots or compelling acting, or maybe it is because these films are based on killers that many have already heard of. Films like Ju-On, Ringu, and A Slit-Mouthed Woman contain background information based on popular stories from long ago, which makes the films even more terrifying.

The message that Nimit is trying to portray is that we hold onto grudges and never let them go but when a hardship occurs we may regret the hate that we once felt. Nimit is talking to the woman about how we take for granted that the earth is solid and stationary and there in Thailand they take it for granted because earthquakes are a rare occurrence there.
