He was literally unleashed. It seems that he'd had a very dark/turbulent past, but upon meeting Mandy he decided to start a new life. Love seemingly changed him into an introvert, quiet guy, who merely remarks, or quietly replies to her, but in reality he was just asleep, just like the tiger was in a cage (Cage wears a tiger shirt). The brutal death of Mandy opens the cage (pun not intended), and Red stops giving a f*ck anymore.

She was perhaps the only reason for him to live. Then, the reason for him to live was to take revenge for her death. That's why the ending, when he kills all the bad guys, sits in a car, and starts hallucinating about her is so stunning. He realizes that even though the bad guys got what they deserved, he will never get his wife back. That's when he smiles hilariously (and creepily) in the camera, but in this smile there's mad desperation and melancholy.

The bathroom scene you mentioned is phenomenal. He had to look at his beloved one getting burnt alive, but even though it was a very strong initial shock for him, it wasn't until his return to his home that the whole thing really set in. He gets in and he sees a goofy commercial - the absurdism of the situation is the final trigger. He enters the bathroom, and he literally explodes. All those emotions just pour out. He relapses, and downs a whole bottle of vodka hidden somewhere from his wife. At first he does the trademark caginess, and the entire scene is framed as if it was a joke. Then, however, the camera makes that zoom, and all we see is his face, and Cage starts crying, and the overall mood changes from absurdly funny cage moment to absolute desperation and misery.

The laughing scene was one of the best in the film, the way it was framed as a fcked up drug trip really (heavy handedly but who cares that's what this film was) highlighted why this dude is so angry towards women, i felt emasculated just watching it haha.

I love how the film has those sci-fi elements in it, but those are all just hints. Like that dreamy scene in the forest at the beginning, in which Mandy sees an alien baby, or those Hellraiser-inspired bikers who seem to be some monsters/aliens at first, but then turn out to be just some psychos in armour. Mandy looks very alien/androgynous/weird in some scenes which led me to believe that the members of the cult are some aliens and Jeremiah, their leader, chose Mandy with some higher purpose in mind (maybe as one" of their own"). Actually, to the very end I thought Jeremiah might have some super powers and will use them in the final showdown with Red. When he started beginning for mercy, I understood he was just a delusional maniac, and the film uses this dark theme and style to mirror Cage's mind, his struggle after his loss.

Actually, i didn't consider there being anything to Jeremiah's claims until after he started begging oddly. He initially begged then when it was obvious Cage wasn't budging he got incredibly, powerfully angry and i briefly considered that being some sort of ultimate test to see if Cage could give mercy to such an unforgivable monster. Like he was actually a profit or Jesus or whatever and he was testing Cage's morality before being allowed into heaven or wherever.

That would have been pretty dumb and i only considered it for a brief moment but still. Get what you were thinking, my friend thought something similar.

I felt like there was more of a supernatural element. Mandy was a sort of nymph (floabt) and Cage was some sort of God of War type. It was like he could sense what was coming and he wanted them to avoid the aftermath. He was never scared of any of the tormentors, his only pain was from Mandy being killed. I think the whole Abraxas angle opens up the possibilities. I believe he was manipulating Jeremiah in order to force Red back to his old ways. Drugs or not, the dudes Red faced were a few steps past Mad Max general casting. I don't think it's a coincidence the one flipped the Ram Charger when Red hit him.


I have 3 movies that I've bought, due to the realization I never re-watch movies. Pretty sure I'm buying Mandy, in spite of the gore and twigs & berries.
