#lamb #endingexplained
In the Iceland set folktale Lamb, a childless couple take in a strange and unusual newborn as their own. But sinister forces are determined to return the child the wilderness that birthed her. We're breaking down the story including what we can piece together about Ada and what she represents, and looking at the abrupt ending's meaning.

The fact that they have clothing for the growing lamb feels brutally sad. It was probably their daughter’s clothing that they hadn’t been able to get rid of.
I missed that. Great job connecting those dots.
It is. The mom & lamb Ada are shown next to the grave of human Ada. It is somewhat hinted with a flashback that she may have drowned in the river or streams on their land some time before (the movie showed the dad wading through the water distraught calling for her) she seems to have passed around the same age and or size of lamb Ada…which also explains why they were so hell bent on teaching how to get back home just in case & keeping her close
Pure wool🐑
They should have kept trying, instead of stealing a child from another mother. They could have included the ewe in adas life. But they took a child THEN SHOT HER MOTHER. THEY ARE THE MONSTERS. I FELT NO PITY FOR THEIR COMEUPPANCE.
@@celticeyesmorriganrising929 They should of BBQ'd the mother and made cozy slippers out of the (KID🐑) THAT IS YOUR COMEUPPANCE😘 It's a freak-n movie 🎬
Damn. I just feel really bad for the mom of the little lamb. She did nothing wrong, was assaulted by that thing, then shot bc she wanted to her her own child. Damn damn damn.
I feel bad for the mom sheep and dog too!
@@user-rn1cb8kj8c what about the cat?
I know it’s really sad.
@@capsortee did something happened to the cat? I know he mentioned it in the grass,but that was it. (I haven't had the chance to watch the movie yet. But I absolutely love all animals. I have tattoos of my cats and dog's faces on my arm)
B*tch had it coming
When, I told my sister the summary of this movie, she said that it was the weirdest custody battle ever.
Lol, pretty accurate summary.
the lamb mom was innocent and just wanted to keep her child but got shot for it then Ingbar was innocent and just wanted to keep the child but got shot for it
The cute dog was innocent too 😢
@@felixgato4392 ALOT of people looks like! Especially when it's a sheep girl!
Yeah it's a parallel I guess that's why at the end Maria kinda realizes that she experienced cosmic justice. Even tho I think they would have made great parents for Ada lol
@@felixgato4392the whole point of the movie revolves around the emotions that animals have yet cannot express lmao hence ingvars fate being the same as the sheep mother, and the long shots of the sheep's eyes as well as the cat and dog suggesting they are feeling emotion yet cannot portray it as profoundly as people. This is why Maria seems to realize that she experienced some cosmic justice as the same thing that happened to ram man (s/o killed, child taken) just happened to her.
The whole thing where Ingvar shows Ada how to get home through the fog gives me hope that she'll find Maria someday and they'll both get some closure.
That's a nice thought
id rather hope maria gets what she deserves for killing adas mother and kidnapping ada. id hope the beast is actually a good father
I did think that was a strange last minute addition. It could have been just filler talk but with the whole film being a metaphor I somehow doubt it's that simple.
I thought it was a parallel with Ada’s Bio father, he said “when you go out of home the mountains are in front blah blah”. To me, the Lamb man took ada home in the mountains
Also did you catch that Ada can talk telepathically. When that scene happens she can't be heard talking but he responds as if she asked "what is there's fog and I can't see the mountains? “ the cadence doesn't feel like he just made up the question in his head it feels like he heard it clearly.
Ada has no right to be that damn adorable. And her holding the cat?! Absolutely precious
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 EVERYTHING u just said❣ EVERYTHING 😭
That thing was freaking nightmarishly creepy, but you go ahead and fall in love with crimes against nature. That's very American of you
I agree with u, she is so precious and so cute
@@AhtuMondello 1. It's a movie. 2. It's Icelandic, not American. And (most importantly) 3. It's a FICTITIOUS movie! Also, a make-believe lamb child holding a kitty cat is quite adorable.
Maybe it’s just me but Ada creeped me out the whole time!
Ok the scene with Afa holding the cat at the table was INCREDIBLY cute. Also in general the animals liking Ada was pretty good sign how pure and good she was. Or else they'd be spooked
@sehhi vooty TF are you talking about, I didnt even use the word Lamb in my comment...
This reminds me of the stories of fairies in Scotland. The fae folk considered it an honour for their child to be raised among humans so they would leave their babies to be raised until young adulthood before taking them back. Of course there are a lot of differences with that and the movie but it gives me that vibe of the father leaving the child for a while to be raised among the humans (or sheep I guess he thought) and then coming back for them at a later time.
There's an Icelandic fairy tales about faefolk swapping out their husband for a woman's child. And then the fae lady is SHOOKETH that the human lady isn't happy about the arrangement
Is there more about this story? I'm very curious and interested :0
Whenever foundflix does a review I feel like I'm getting ready to huddle around a campfire with others an listen to him tell us a scary story 😂😂
What about Dead Meat?
Great description
He’s the friend I wish I had
@@Afluffycookie117 i agree both of them would have me shitting my pants but also laughing uncontrollably!!!
Touché
This felt like a modern fairytale and I loved it. Old fairytales were so strange and fascinating, glimpses of what people felt about certain things back in the day.
True, and I believe a lot of old fairytales have sad/dark endings.
@@Evelyn-pl3we Usually so, yes. Or unintentionally terrifying. Like yes, it’s technically a reward for being a good person but wow, long term that’s kind of messed up. Like the woman who whenever she spoke, would spew a jewel or a flower from her mouth. I mean that’s helpful as they needed the money but given how her mother acted, and how weird it would be for that to happen, I can imagine it’s long term unpleasant.
@@Evelyn-pl3we : Indeed, what we think of as Fairytales today, as being mere children’s entertainment, are actually mostly folklore warnings about the hazards of the surrounding environment meant to serve as warnings to young adults, or morality tales about human nature. Red Ridinghood, for example, is a warning to young women about the lengths that sexual predators will go to. This was what fascinated the Grimm brothers, who did extensive research into collecting as many of these folklore stories as they could. They realised that there was a verbal (pagan) history that had not found its way into accepted cannon, or into print, because the church had dominated all publishing for generations. They wanted to prevent the loss of that collective memory, by logging as much as they could. From them we learn less about reality of history than we learn about ancient attitudes, the fears that occupied people and the things they thought it was important for their posterity to remember. It is a window into the medieval imagination of great historic value. Though, in this movie, I got less of a sense of moral imperative or clear meaning that we’re meant to take away from it, and more of a mood and set of emotions that speak to what it’s like to be alive today. Something of equal value, I suppose? Her sense that her happiness could not last, and that there was something inevitable about the ending, made me think of what it must be like to lose a custody battle, post divorce? A sort of symbolic meta-play, speaking to the sense of loss and grief people have when they lose a child, and the lengths they’ll go to, to fill that void.
@@RoseKoneko : I guess she could learn sign language? 😉 How does that story end?
@@ashroskell I imagine her rude sister that was cursed to have frogs and snakes fall from her mouth would have went with whatever passed for sign language. xD;
Initially I assumed it was trying to pull the wool over our eyes and make it a “she was just a regular lamb the whole time” due to how nonchalant everyone was about it and especially how the brother reacted to her. But I feel the ending very concretely said “no this is all real and shit’s fucked”. Really enjoyed this movie, can’t wait to get it on dvd
Was that pun intentional--"pull the wool over our eyes"?
I thought that's what they were going to do, like it was a normal lamb, but from the mom's perspective she saw what she wanted to see, a child. Then it ended up being more fucked up then it should of been.
Maybe it was a real lamb after all, and the ending is metaphorical, or she just imagined it. Maybe she was the one who shot her husband because he took the lamb away realising this cannot continue or something.
But it's also possible that the movie simply wanted to subvert our expectations of the lamb not being real and prank us at the end, lol.
@@matyaskassay4346 no its a fantasy drama so thr lamb was real
I'm wondering if the attachment to Ada was purely because she was cute and innocent or because she gave off some supernatural aura that made everything want to care for her. Because nothing really explains why the lamb mother was also obsessed with her. I also don't know if the lamb mother was trying to take Ada away out of love, if she was taking her to the father, or if she was actually trying to look out for the couple by taking her away and spare them pain.
I think the mother of the lamb just wanted her baby back. It was trying to do everything to keep the baby away from the couple, even leading her away at one point. She may of just wanted to protect her child.
i think you’re overthinking a bit about the mother sheep, it probably just wanted her baby back like all mothers naturally would.
mothers have an incredible biological bond to their babies, just like human mothers. a dairy farmer said he left the industry because it ruined hi. emotionally seeing how mother cows would cry and run after their newborns when they were taken away every year.
I think their attachment to Ada was the fact that they had lost their own child years before and saw it a gift or maybe a reincarnation of their own child in Ada. I think Adas goat mother was just trying to get her baby back cause she is her biomogical mother and she obviously was destressed when they took her away.
The mother lamb is attached to her lamb because it's her lamb. Any animal who's just given birth is incredibly attached to their young. María and her husband were probably attached because they had experienced the death of their child/children (see the cemitary scene) and saw the half human half lamb hybrid as a miracle sent to them to be their daughter.
The movie does make me wonder if Ada will be safe with her father. He came and forced himself on an animal. Because he's alone? Then he took forever to come back to see if there's a child and then killed the person she saw as her father in front of her. The guy has no regard for Ada's feelings.
It's more likely that he wants to use her as a sacrifice for her innocence.
I feel the movie is about karma since the human mother did the same thing with the mother lamb and then the father goat did the same thing to the father human
I mean he's not a human he is an animal like Ada. And Maria and Invar were using her in a way too, to replace the daughter they lost. If I was a kid I would resent my parents if the only reason they loved me I was to replace their other child. It probably tore Ada apart to see Invar debut, it would hurt her more to find out the truth years later knowing that you could never live a normal life because the rest of society might resent you. In this way she would be with others like her and seen as her own person rather than that of a replacement.
...also... don't rule out the possibility that he could have seen her kill the mother as well...
More like the humans force there selfs on a sheep, because people are missing the point that Ada and her father are half human, something that's been going do for thousands of years! FACTS that's what this movie is about frfr👍🏽
Thank you for doing these videos. As a combat vet with PTSD, I can't do jump scares but enjoy horror stories. You allow me to at least see the story without having to go through jump scares.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸✨
I enjoy Foundflix's movie run throughs, even for films I have no intention of watching. He explains the stories really well.
I cannot watch for different, but similar reasons; this just made my day better. Never realized how grateful I was for FF. Appreciate your service too. Love you, brother. Ain't right for our heroes to hurt.
Thank you for defending freedom
Thank you for your service!
if you believe that directors usually don't put anything in a movie unless there is a reason, there was a reason to include Ingvar's instructions on how to get home if Ada ever got lost. Ada was beginning to understand that she was of two worlds - human and animal. She showed no attachment to the Sheep man but definitely grieved the loss of her human parents. There is hope that she would be given the agency to choose which world she belonged to once living amongst the sheep people.. and find her way in which ever world she chooses. I think this is more about free will and repercussions of choice of actions and reactions - as well as all living beings to choose their own destiny.
OMG... The look of the lamb with teary eyes really melted my heart.
Fugg3d up
Grýla isn't a witch but a troll or giantess who eats naughty children. She has a huge cat, the yule cat, that also eats children but those who don't get new clothes for Christmas. It's still very important to get new clothes before every Christmas in Iceland or else you will "go to the cat". I've always felt like you could make a decent horror movie out of the Icelandic Christmas traditions 🤣
That sounds like an excuse to buy your kids clothes instead of something cool
@@eriktruchinskas3747 oh it's not a gift, it's just something you get before Christmas. And it's not just kids, adults need new clothes too. Even if it's just socks or a tie, you have to have something new.
@@ninadottir488 agreed on Erik, but socks are fine.
Great way to teach your kids to appreciate getting clothes for Christmas
Doesn't she have a husband who does the same thing?
My whole theater erupted into laughter when they first showed the full lamb body! 😝 personally… I love movies that give you something to think about long after you’re done watching them!
You watched this in a theater? I did NOT see that coming.
@@iHaveTheDocuments yeah we have a small, local theater here that usually only plays independent films but they were playing it one night!
we (a few friends and i) watched in theaters too! there were only like, maybe 6 or 7 people max and the whole experience was...surreal to say the very least. i was in near tears at the reveal of her body and then at the dad reveal
Glad I didn't watch this in the theater then
I saw it at a filmfest with everyone going in blind. When they revealed the baby lamb hybrid, there were gasps and hushed wtfs.
No one seems to have mentioned how the painting on the windows looks like dripping blood. He is sanding and painting windows as part of his chores and when they both look out the window happily it's basically showing them as covered in blood. Both putting blame for the crime they committed and also foretelling their fate
Nice catch. I always noticed their windows being dirty. Thought it was my TV
YESSSSSSS
What crime? Raising the "child". Killing the ewe? I don't consider killing the ewe a crime but I guess others might. I'm also not convinced that the husband engaged in beastiality, unlike other commenters. If I was convinced of that, that would be the only crime I could be certain of.
I’m glad that someone else noticed that
I find it weird that the couple didn't find it strange at all to see a lamb-human hybrid, like the lady looked shocked for a moment but they both almost immediately were like "yup, we're gonna raise it & love it".
YES IM SITTING HERE LIKE @??!!? no words were said at all?? Like come on 😭😭
On my mama
I think it’s because they were in the denial part of grieving and willing to except any sort of compromise no matter how absurd
My thoughts exactly!!! “NOTHING TO SEE HERE… move along!!!”
Its called magic realism
When I saw this movie I didn't really understand what was happening during the opening. I was completely confused when the goat man showed up. Now that you explained it, it makes a lot more sense. This movie was pretty depressing tbh but Ada is so cute
He didn't really give answers 😂 so I don't know what was confusing about the movie.You could've Googled the movie and what the director was going for lol. Its okay to research behind the scenes like the YTber did
I think the best thing about this movie is the atmosphere, i really did not understand what it was about or what was the message but i felt like there was one or like the story was about something primal all because of the way it was presented
I watched this film with friends. I'm used to watching foreign art house films and none of them are so I had to sit there for almost two hours listening to them scream at the screen about how nothing made any sense and if I tried to explain it they'd just say I was making it up.
@@Goldenkitten1 How you gonna watch art house foreign films and get worked up about them making sense? I think these aren't the droids your are looking for. move along
@@rolandking640 Well if you go watch the trailer it portrays itself as a horror movie first and foremost. So if you go in expecting that and then get a metaphor inside a metaphor you're going to be annoyed. I was able to make the shift when I realized what it was but as they don't watch those sorts of movies they were just pissed that the trailer tried to make it look like a creature feature.
I felt bad for the mother sheep. They took her baby and didn't care how she felt at all. Felt they deserve it in a sense.
This! Exactly this. I can see Maria's reasoning that she saw her dead child in Ada and forcibly wanted to adobt her, but it completely blinded her of the fact that there deffinitely was something unnatural going on, which the mother sheep knew better and tried to take Ada to her actual father at the mountains. It also was upsetting that Peter had to pay the highest price and get killed, whilst it would've been a more fitting for Maria to be killed, as she was the one who killed Ada's actual mother and denied Ada from joining her biological parents in the appareant safety of the mountains.
Agreed, that was the main point of the story. They took someone else's child and didnt care for how their original parents or family would feel. It was Karma that hit them and later she realized , she needed to move on from her real daughter's death, living a good life and letting Ada live with her original father/parent.
Well, they are farmers, they basically have to kill livestock and eat, that's the natural lifestyle (at least their animals are mostly free-roaming, it's a decent life). I don't think, realistically speaking, anyone would have left creature with human body with the sheep! It wouldn't be responsible in a first place. Most people would go to TV and make money off it. Scientists would study her and apocalypses cults would spring, lol.
It's especially painful if you've gotten to see an ewe lose her lambs. If anything the movie downplayed how much she wanted her lamb back.
@@reginalannister2262 To an extent I'd agree with you, except she clearly felt disgraced and knew what she did was morally wrong, and wasn't doing it for any reason but her own desire for Ada. Hence why she buried the ewe instead of butchering her. Especially in a country like Iceland where the people aren't wasteful (and with livestock where there is little to no profit margin).
As a farmer that has about 200 acres, we have about a dozen miniature cattle (Irish Dexters) and about 150 sheep with about half a dozen rams. Every lambing season we have about 70-90 lambs but we send most of them to either the auction or slaughter but we do sell/give a couple as pets. This movie kind of speaks to me because there was one lamb who couldn't make it on it's own so I raised it myself. I took it everywhere and even got it to lead in public and took it with me to tractor supply.
Man, Iceland has some of the craziest myths I’ve ever seen. Not surprised at all that they’d make a movie like this.
15:49 "Man i love how dark this stuff is compared to American Christmas stuff" What can I say? Many cultures love to give their children nightmares with stuff like this
I mean wasn't folktales lessons "BEHAVE OR A MAGICAL BLANK WILL KIDNAP/KILL YOU!" most the time?
@@YGeo seems like it🤣
@@YGeo I would say it’s more of a way to balance things. Even regular Santa has the naughty and nice list. What’s good must come with bad to incentivise good.
Nightmares make kids alert and safe. Sunshine and Rainbow only make kids ignorant and naive.
One of the yulelads is called Spoon licker, and the bad thing he does is lick your spoons.
For metaphors, this struck a chord with me about adoption. I was adopted at birth and my parents raised me, yet I do not share their blood. My biological family became present in my life when I was 8ish, and became a bigger influence on me. Because of this, I saw some symbolism in Lamb's story with my own.
YES I JUST SAID THE SAME! this movie has hit the closest I've ever felt about being adopted. I always felt othered and like I was taken in to assuage my adopted parents grief just like the little lamb.
Interesting view,humans are capable to love other species unconditionally(which is proven to be true with pet owners treating their pets like babies lol) they for sure can love their own kind unconditionally even tho they might not be blood related❤️
@Rain spirit thats quite the leap in logic
This a reason why I'll never adopt a child if the biological family is around. Not happening.
While I'm not saying it's not natural to feel that,to let your ego decide your adopted parents don't love you as much is well you believing that,if they love you all the same,any negative feelings are well on you.Move on from the past and realize they care for you as well.
I feel so bad for Ada’s real Sheep Mom. I know it’s just a movie, but why can’t I get the image of her by the window calling for Ada out of my head🥺😥😥
SAME SAME SAME 😭💔😭 I got so ANGRY at those 2 for their CALLOUS TREATMENT of her 😤
🥺same ~ that was awful ~ I pretty much hated the lady after she did that
such CRUEL disregard for a sentient being/mother obviously missing her newborn
Yeah I’m a wimp and couldn’t get over that part. It was really sad and I was pissed at the woman for killing her when there were so many other ways to deal with whatever she was worried about.
I have to actively tell myself it's just a movie, because I cried for half an hour yesterday at how scared and sad Ada looked when she was taken away.
I found this movie to be a great metaphor for kidnapped children who ended up being "adopted" in a foreign country, only for them to learn later that : 1) they were never put up for adoption 2) their adoptive parents are actively pushing back against their birth parents. Ada got trafficked and the couple are (some of) the villains.
Maybe it's more like this.. the father/beast is a super natural deity, being - a fae or something from an unseen realm. On christmas he comes to give a virgin child (Ada is pure and innocent, so there may be some Christ allegories). The humans dealing with their grief take the child and begin to raise it as their own. Though Ada is somewhere between beast and human, ultimately conflicted with her existence. Karma comes to punish the mother as the father/beast comes back to take something she loved, her husband and Ada. Im not sure how Ada was meant to be raised, maybe at some point she was always meant to go to the realm the father came from or some other place. But because a sin was committed to obtain her and she was fought over, perhaps she was not able to live in the human world?? Or maybe its all just an allegory for innocence/happiness and grief/sin.
Wunderpuma the supernatural sheep daddy and normal sheep mama both wanted to look after the little lamb together.
That sounds like what the Americans did to the African Americans,this is not what this is about at all! They take lambs from there parents all day long and then make lamb chops out of them! This movie is far from a kidnapped prospective ! More of the prospective of human men having sex with sheep something that has been going on for thousands of years with that race of people!
It happens more than one would think. Women who don't have support, resources or any chance are pushed into adoption and then the child gets adopted, away from their safety and the mother is just supposed to accept that.
A lamb is a baby sheep. That's the only difference. A female sheep is known as a ewe, and a male sheep is known as a ram. Their offspring are called lambs.
I did cringe he kept calling them all lambs
@@anasdomain9994 it hurt me in places I didn’t know I could feel pain. 😂

Feels kinda poetic that Maria (the faux mother) shot and killed Ada's birth mother and lost her husband (the faux father) by Ada's actual father shooting and killing him.
This movie is hilarious. Just the brother giving them looks and the beginning when they get the baby is just so funny.
That lamb man creeps me the fuck out though
Finally, someone who got same sense of humor as me. I was laughing when Ada just nods her head and bleats a little affirming her father's sayings.
There was a great theory that it was mainly symbolic and what we're seeing isn't actually what's going in if you understand it metaphorically instead of literally that Ada isn't actually a lamb hybrid, but just an actual little girl but we don't see that in a literal sense. That the brother actually is Ada's dad. Peter got bored... then frisky... so he made a mistake. Later he invents a mysterious entity to explain the human-goat hybrid. He tries to shoot her to get rid of the evidence of his mishap, but he can't possibly kill his own child... Then he gets horny again, gets rejected, plays it cool, but then murders the person who's the reason why he got rejected, and again, blames everything on the previously invented mysterious entity... then he takes his child with him.
That part was pretty funny lol ngl
@@trialerrorsharer9398idk I thought the ram man was kinda hot
I think the man lamb figured out adas mom was shot when she tried to take ada to him. So he came to get ada and shot the dad.
The shot at 5:22 of Ada with her little flower crown is so frigging wholesome.
I like the idea these are changelings, growing into fae creatures like Satyrs. Good human parents are chosen, who raise the fae children till they are grown enough to take care of themselves in the wild. Sucks Ingvar had to die.
They are bad parents who killed adas mother and stole her from her animal half..
I find it has a metaphor for involuntary adoption. As an adopted kid who was lied about my adoption for quite some time and then when I was told I was adopted I was not allowed to do any further investigation and find out where I came from basically burying my biological mother, I was torn in two. Also my biological mother had me ripped from her arms. Ada didn’t ask for it, nor did her parents (the bio ones) and now everyone must pay the price.
if we ever get a sequel to this film, i really hope ada is gonna be ok :( poor chilc was born into this troublesome life and probably didnt understand why her family was dealing with these awful issues... and being mistreated because of the way she looks. i feel that :(
It's a abomination that needs to be put down.

“Don’t take what isn’t yours” DONT FUCK WHAT ISNT YOURS
It surprises me the amount of people who didn't catch-on that the moral was "do not take what is not yours" and needing to learn to move on from traumatic events. Maria especially couldn't truly move on from losing her child, so she latched onto and claimed the first "baby" she could find. Maria took a baby from it's parents and killed the mother, so dad came and took back his baby and killed her husband. She learned the consequences of staying in the past, letting grief consume her, and honestly....kidnapping lmao
Exactly lol hence her gasp at the end cause she just understood what happened.

I felt so bad for Ada when her dad got shot in front of her.
It's just more and more and more sadness and loss
Its awful and Ada didn't even seem to want to go with, who was her actual father. I kind of hoped that her adoptive mom would try to find her or look for her, but it just ends and we don't really know what happened to Ada.
No her grandfather got kill in front of her! How is everyone not looking at the fact that Ada and her father are half human 🤔🤔🤔
her dad got shot in front of her by her dad
Wasn't her dad. Was a baby stealer. I'm not saying this as a antihuman/pro animal person. I'm saying this because I believe this movie is a giant metaphor for kidnapping and stealing children.
i think that the wife had an affair with her husbands brother in the past. him suggesting she left the door open willingly doesn’t seem like an accusation she would tolerate, so it indicates there’s some truth to it. a hint to a past between them. it also explains why he, too, becomes captivated by this child, as we clearly see his dismay at first, but he sees past it after seeing how happy it makes her. just something i noted

IMO the mom should've gotten the same treatment she gave Ada's mom. Ada and her birth mom are the only ones I feel sorry for; neither of them asked for any of this but both got the worst endings. What'll happen to her now? She spent so long living with humans only to be taken by her father. Are there other goat/sheep people? Will she adapt to her new environment? I just want Ada to be okay 🥺
It's karma for Maria (the mom) as she had to go on living with the trauma of losing her beloved husband and Ada. Her husband, the lesser accomplice, got the quick death. Both human couple plotted and killed Ada's biological mother 🐑
Ada is Jesus, isn't she? And then God cruelly took the son back, even though the son was raised by decent people
I feel awful for Maria too, she lost three children before this Ada. But I did think, why couldn’t they have let the sheep mom come live in the house with them? Like the cat and dog do? She could have seen the baby every day but wouldn’t have felt she had to take her anywhere. The only drawback might have been Ada seeing her all the time and comparing her to herself but she already saw sheep all the time.
It could also be that the lamb-human hybrid beings are just symbolic What actually happened is after they lost their child, they perhaps stole someone's child from them and then kept it as their own , the mother sheep that symbolises the actual mother of the child tried to take her back but was killed by her and then the brother tried to convince them to give her away but they couldn't, and in the end the father of child found out and took his child back
The director said it was inspired by the time he spent on his Grandparents sheep farm as a child and local folklore.
I feel like that does make sense. In a way.
It’s not symbolic that’s exactly what happens lmao

Why are comments turned off in the Daniel Isn't Real video?
My mother saw the last half of this on cable tonight. She didn't understand it and called to ask if I'd seen it. I wanted to, but never got around to it when it was current; so I found it online and streamed it just now. I enjoyed it, but didn't have much luck deciphering it. Thanks for your video! 🐑
I will never understand parents in movies who raise the newborn children that they find in strange places. Especially if it had a lamb head.
It's due to their recent loss ig

@@MistyWarden true dat
i truly loved this movie, and i think people really go out of their way to avoid/disparage movies that focus on developing characters and paying homage to folk lore
Oh stop the director said it had no basis in anything. May be to kid did at first but the ending didn't. No one's trying to avoid this movie, it's just bad. Just bc you liked it doesn't make it any better of a movie. It's still crap.
@@steson Found one!
@@steson Oh shove it. The image was what the movie was based around, but they still chose everything else for the movie. The image very honestly could have meaning the director didn't know about. It's not actually a bad movie, a little boring, but nice and refreshing from all the flashy stuff that's being churned out full blast all the time.
@@DpDepresso The image reminds me about the god Cernunnos from the Celtic mythology but I have no idea if Iceland is connected to that particular mythology.
@@Nekoszowa it’s almost like human/animal hybrids are a very common thing in mythology + folklore and it’s meant to evoke a more universal perspective on speculative fiction!! (i agree w you and i think people demanding it be a specific figure are missing the point)
Oh man, I'm so excited you finally reviewed this movie. I knew I wasn't going to like this movie based on other reviews, but was still interested in the plot. Thanks so much.
What a dumb ass mindset to have. How can you base your own personal opinion on the opinions of others? Interestingly enough, that literally makes you a sheep, being led by the herd. So maybe you should have watched this movie.
I cannot wait for the next iteration of this story, according to the writer/producers one of which is Nomi Rapace there will be another chapter of this riveting movie! I want to know what happened to the first Ada, did they find her body or was she taken by the Ram? I want to see home where he's taken Lamb Ada and if there are more of them! My guess is his numbers are dwindling which is why he was hell bent on getting his baby back. Will Ada make her way back to the farm, will Cat lead Maria and Petur to Lame Ada where Maria will find both Ada's? Finally, will Maria be pregnant with her dead husband's child, there is so much more to be told! This is what a great story does, it makes you obsess over the parts of the story that leave you hanging!
thanks for all your hard work man! really appreciate it :)
the sheep man is probably The Faun its basically a humanoid goat, its in greek, roman and I think Icelandic mythology as well
No, the faun is a goat-legged human, so kinda the opposite of this creature. Also "faun" is roman, the greek version is Pan, who is actually a smaller god. And he's not in norse mythology.
I'd say some sort of spirit of the wild, which is actually a good thing, in a way. The fact he used the gun shows his anger at the mother's death, otherwise he probably could have done something else.
Love this channel! Always look forward to new videos being released. Thanks for the entertainment and explaining some of the most insane endings always. Of course there’s always the rare endings left up to your own thoughts and interpretations but your channel has settled many debates and lingering questions and I greatly appreciate it. I love when I can say to my other half “ I told you so!” After watching one of your videos. 😜
Everytime I want an explanation of a movie I come looking for your channel! Great work!
The Lamb man tripped me out my heart skipped a beat lol 🙈
...Me too. -sips tea in SILENCE-
Happy New Year to you foundflix. Oh boy I have been waiting for you to do this review for awhile now. and as always you didn't disappoint me at all😊. Keep up the good work ok 😉
I thought that Ada was merely a normal lamb that nurturing her was merely a symptom of her parents' madness and desperation.
As a mother who lost my son at a young age, this film haunted me. The scene where they talked about the magazine article that said time travel was theoretically possible I knew at that moment they had lost a child. Just the way she said “maybe it’s possible to go back in time instead of just forward”. My sons death left me feeling like a lonely and dead ghost. Sort of like how the 2 main characters act before Ada the lamb 🐑 was born. His room is just like he left it before he died. 7 years have passed and I still sleep with his favorite blanket. This movie was an emotional one for me.
So stupid
Did anybody else notice "The Beasts" reflection in the lambs eye as she rounded the barn??
I absolutely love your appreciation for all the cute shots in this film
Not addressed is the homestead with taken over by the brothers after their parents died (the mock graveyard marked the recent death of the couple's daughter and two other graves-the brother's parents). Don't miss this one. It's surprising well done, thoughtful, and memorable. This is a modern fairy tale that is very sneaky.
The Opening shots of the movie are so beautiful, mysterious. I loved the movie. Thank you for the Explanation.
So, lamb is an object of purity, for some time of you telling the story it felt like she played a role of real second child after loss of the first one, she feels like something is off and parts are missing/not shown to her, then her "uncle" trying to give her grass looked kinda weird, you know, of course for the main plot he just didn't consider her like a human. It's interesting mom sheep came back again and again and then even tried to snatch baby away, this looked like she was a surrogate mother who grew love to her child. I don't know what to make out of the sheep dad, first they really played on this devil side, so I waited when Ade will start killing parents, but was sheep mom trying to get her to dad? Do sheep know who sheep people are? Wtf is that. So, I didn't expect him to come back for his child and do that only by killing real dad, it's either a "not on a nose" metaphore or just as you said a playing around sheep people theme, so big revealing in the end.
The thing is this wasn’t so much a lamb but a hybrid/abomination looking critter. A baby chimera can be cute but it doesn’t belong with people thus they got their comeuppance from the lore writers.
Or maybe there's a part somewhere there where the human family killed his children before and so he wanted revenge. "They took everything from me I'm gonna take everything from them." and he might have even been responsible for the human child's death too.
I feel like when the sheep mom took her out into the field she was trying to get it back to the Dad. That sheep has allot of intent in its eyes. The way it stared at the human lady when she walked in the barn. I feel like the mother sheep knew…” I gotta get this baby back to that man or he coming back for all of us “
Feels like the story could be about the horrors of private adoption. How couples pressure birth mothers to give away their infants. And how reunification is hardly ever on their minds. Alpt of couples adopt because they have infertility trauma or trauma around losing a child. Interesting review.
@dream women❤ what the fuck
@@lance.7124 Just report the comment. She's everywhere and youtube is doing nothing about bots like this.
Couples pressure birth mothers to give up their infants? Sounds like bs.
@@jeremyphillips3087 Exactly 💯 NO ONE could ever get me to willingly give up my baby they tried and I was closed too I still fought for my kids they're teens now we're close af.
@@DjDiamstatOfficial who tried? And how are your kids doing? If youre not in a position to raise kids youd only be hurting them by trying.
I think you’d like the show, “The Booth at the end”. I don’t want to spoil much but the best spoiler free description I can give is that the show poses the question: “How far are you willing to go to achieve your dream?” The characters have goals in life for themselves, or other family members/sometimes friends, and this mysterious man gives them tasks to make these wishes come true. The tasks can be as simple as buying flowers, or as scary as kidnapping, to building and setting off a bomb. It’s interesting to watch and question if characters are really willing to kill or traumatize others for their own personal gain.
Why are comments turned off in your latest video?
I'm curious too.
watched this movie blind and unknowing of what i was about to sit 1h 46m through, honestly the funniest and most unsettling movie ive seen in a while
I took my roommate to her first horror movie and it was this... idk how to explain it to her lol I WAS WAITING FOR THIS EXPLANATION
Thank you Google translate for translating these lines into lines
@@turtato2155 Google always comes through lol
The mother following and bleating seemed more like attempts at a warning more than her demanding her baby back. I feel like every time i watch one of your videos, the collection of movies gets more and more large. Also, I lol'd at the editing error about it being a matter of time before they faced their comeuppance.
@16:36 That double speak! Does youtube gives you an option to reload a video without taking down the URL? Loved this recap and love your channel! I'll definitely be watching this one in full!
Fascinating as always! I want to recommend a movie called "I'm not a Serial Killer" for your next video. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out exactly what is happening/ going to happen in movies, but this one really kept me guessing throughout. And even the ending left me with a hmmmm.... So definitely something I think you'd be interested in!
I remember that movie! I always found it so fascinating. I’ll definitely go rewatch it because you reminded me of it.

@@kungfew1396 Oooh I definitely need to look into that, Thank you!
In this video: Chris forgets the word “sheep”
Ewe and sheep are not in his vocabulary
Definitely not your typical type of movie. I find it mysterious & intriguing. Love Noomi Rapace. Her performance was just phenomenal & she played the character well. Hope part two is in order.
Maria (Noomi Rapace) actually grew up in Iceland and sheep herding is a huge part of Icelandic culture.
was waiting for this!! didn’t wanna watch it but wanted an explaining so bad 😍
Bro when I saw this in the theaters as a trailer, my reaction was just pure *wtf*
Why da comments off in new video?
One thing that I think is important - at the end human father explained to Ada how to get home if she looks at the mountain or listens to the river. And she was capable to think as a human since she was raised by humans, all the love they gave her, she won't forget it for sure. I think she will maybe try to escape one day. Also, the ram shooting Ingvar in the throught so he can't scream for help or can't tell Ada to run or something... He is shut down like a lamb, silenced. Loved the movie. Only Icelanders, scandinavians in general, are able to make movies like this. Powerfull, without pathetic scenes, just slowly building up a beautiful tence story. Reminded me of the movie "Border", 2018 (Grans).
Man, now I want to see the Behind the scenes and see whether or not there's a toddler walking around with a green screen helmet...
Any film set in Iceland is always drop dead gorgeous
im so happy that you coverd a movie from my country, i couldnt bealive it at first
FoundFlix you need to make a video of archive 81, the series are fenomenal, trully a good watch, watching this you are always on a tight edge, not knowing what will happen next, it is full of mysterys, trully one of the best series i have wathed ( of course if you dont mind the special effects) i trully need you opinion on what happened and what are you correlation between the intros. Anyway good job on this chanel, love your videos. - R.P.
I haven't watched this yet, but I just thought the goat man was some kind of species of god or demigod that protects the wilderness and every so often has to have a child and teach them how to protect the wilderness. I came to this conclusion because when I thought of goat man I immediately thought about Pan the Greek god of the wilderness who has some goat like features.
Been waiting on this one!
Pretty cool to see Icelandic actors on your channel. Those dudes work hard, since there's not a lot of work for actors in Iceland those dudes have to be prepared to act in EVERYTHING. Stage, children's shows etc etc
Can't help but wonder why the ewe tried to take the lamb to the river. Was it trying to drown an abomination or did it know the ram man would be coming to take the lamb?
Who the hell raises a lamb child and is like “oh yeah this is normal”
People living in isolation and struggling with unresolved trauma/grief arent really in touch with reality, which is the whole point of the movie
@@g0lddustt29 yeah I hadn’t watched the video yet, I commented when they first showed the lamb
There was a great theory that it was mainly symbolic and what we're seeing isn't actually what's going in if you understand it metaphorically instead of literally that Ada isn't actually a lamb hybrid, but just an actual little girl but we don't see that in a literal sense. Peter got bored... then frisky... so he made a mistake. Later he invents a mysterious entity to explain the human-goat hybrid. He tries to shoot her to get rid of the evidence of his mishap, but he can't possibly kill his own child... Then he gets horny again, gets rejected, plays it cool, but then murders the person who's the reason why he got rejected, and again, blames everything on the previously invented mysterious entity... then he takes his child with him.
At 11:17 you can actually see the thing reflected in adas eye. Nice little detail there
Ingvar did NOT deserve that bruh 😭😭😭 He was such a good dad. Anyways, this film is absolutely fantastic, despite it being an extremely slow burn.

I heard this movie was slow and so I hesitated and hesitated watching it until last night. Glad I gave it a chance. It kept me interested and it was never boring. Well done story and beautiful cinematography with great performances.
This movie is kind like a dark fairy tale but brought to live and almost tell couple of lessons that can represent being a parent and not steal.
The only reason I didn't get bored watching this was because I was waiting for everything to go down when the creature reveal, that was set up in the first 5 minutes of the movie, finally took place.. Can't say the pay off was particularly good, but the rest of the movie is kind of a chore to get through without that.
That’s because most peoples brains are fried with instant gratification and flashiness lol. Just enjoy it for what it is. Have fun with the strange experience. It’s just a movie, it doesn’t last forever.
It's more about the implications of human vs nature than any payoff imo.
As well as the story of having to move on and not take what isn't yours
Its super comforting to me that you remind me so much of my dearly departed cousin PJ and like him you are an ageless wonder my friend
My theory on the ending isn’t that Maria found acceptance and gives up. At the end you hear the beast again faintly and Maria makes the same faces she makes during the love scene. I think Maria eventually gives herself to the beast because she desperately needs Ada. Anyone else think this is a possibility?
