Now, for the eggs and bacon. Which, I don’t think has been brought up here much. It is the moment when Ethan penetrates Sophie’s fantasy by insisting to be let into the guesthouse while she is with Ethan B, or rather, the moment she lets him in, that the fantasy and the reality merge. He played the game and he played by the rules. 2. EthanB ran away, yet what if it was SophieA that did want to stay next tohim. Scene: 1:23:18 Sophie -B has the glossy lipstick. Who cares about a little high cholesterol problem… I’m not stuck in the retreat anymore! And he fell for it. That to me was the most compelling line of the movie and demonstrated throughout by his verbal insecurities. The other small piece of evidence is that Sophie A (on left side of screen) does ask Sophie B (on right side of screen) “what happens if he can’t catch him”, Sophie B replies “I have no idea”. I’m inclined to believe is is Sophie A, who is happier now that her and Ethan A have clicked, while Sophie B is still upset. She doesn’t love Ethan-A, doesn’t sleep with him or flirt with him when the 4 of them are together, the way that Ethan-B does with Sophie-A. That’s right. He’s proved he’s the exact same asshole with the exact same issues he came with. "The One I Love" (David Gray song), a 2005 song and a top ten hit in the UK. The question I have throughout all of this though, is if these are just two normal people, where do they disappear to? You are going down Lux. In fact, it’s exactly like Sophie complaining how Ethan once ruined an entire magic show for her by explaining how every trick was done. F – F are left at the compound -and A and E are now off living this assumed life of the F’s forever. Taylor. He even looked back at the bed in disbelief. For instance, let’s say there are versions of ourselves..essentially the same person but at different levels of development. I don’t know why that wasn’t obvious before, EthanB was totally using SophieA for his own ends. She was always trying to do stuff to please him, get him to drink, have him hand her the towel in the bathroom, cook for him. Ethan’s Double goes on to explain what is happening is just a cosmic aberration. Sheesh. She even looks afraid of Ethan B. Looks like Ethan’s Double has spent time preparing for that piece. She’s mad at the end, but she saw that coming. Where is her personal growth? She wants to go check on Ethan A, even after their fight. And, I froze my titties off all night.” Perhaps those are not real constraints and are simply artifice to throw the originals off balance. The One I Love may help answer an important question about movie marketing: do people really want to know what they’re paying for? Why didn’t it get deleted before the weekend? Why would being their better selves do that? That he might never know. There is one problem with the movie for me which is the question of leaving. Very interesting. I was actually a little disappointed the film didn’t end with a more metaphorical twist, that they were in another dimension and it was an alternative reality of themselves when they were happier\younger\in a honeymoon phase. Seriously made me want to take a complete mulligan on my life, give up the interwebs as my career and take up film making. And here is Sophie sleeping around on him in the middle of therapy?!?! I have no excuse. Which the movie then implies, doesn’t it? She doesn’t even think about how her role in their relationship has played a part in its troubles. I think the question of where the dishes and the breakfast go is important. Entirely full of surprises and cleverness throughout. It was always about E1. But the film does try to explain, mainly through the computer files and Sophie B’s discourse to Ethan A (the “able to move on” explanation). More importantly, Real-Sophie seems to think that Ethan’s Double is the Ethan that she prefers. Right? Sophie B and Ethan A never had a strong connection. The easiest way to figure out which one was which would be to ask them both about what he said to Sophie A in the bathroom as they were alone. Ethan B appears at first to be a funny, happy spontaneous person however ends up cheating. The leave behind the people they had become. Making your partner happy makes them want to make you happy in return. The sleep commentary serves to show that Ethan himself has changed, too, and might not indicate she’s Sophie B…just that he’s doing more of what he used to. Remember Couple-A did LEAVE the premises(they were still in love at the time) when they first discovered Couple-B, they were at a diner eating breakfast & Ethan-A wanted to leave but Sophie-A wanted to stay she already had sex with Ethan-B at this point. Yeah, he tried to go through alone, but I think it was more than simply not having a partner with him that traps him. So, I didn’t read through every comment here, because they’re so epic and interesting! The “B” versions of them are now in the main house, a real issue in the actual relationship, ready to have a conversation about it all. I remember absolutely nothing about AWOL clothes. Yeah, it could either be metaphorical or it could be literal. Ethan is the type of person that has to investigate everything and know the answer and try and ruin the fun for others. Shows a good growth mindset. Because she’s an entirely different person! Then Ethan-B looks at the two women who seem concerned and shocked, although one (presumably Sophie-A) did have a look of contempt on her face as though thinking “I gave you another chance and you still tried to leave me, prick”. And what is she referring to anyway? Well the theory fits & i am not just surprised with the no of all possible explanations & how each of them is so right. The therapist saw this, of course. However Sophie B isn’t as astute and didn’t pick this up, hence she thinks Ethan. -It doesn’t matter which Sophie came back with Ethan, because either way the Sophie he ends up with will essentially be a “new” Sophie. The film had its world premiere at 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2014. I used it correctly the first time, but not the second. I think I solved this puzzle for the most part(besides the magical/technological aspect which can lead you down a million rabbit holes). But the compliment is sweet all the same. So what if we ever stumble upon Ethan A and asked him, Hey Ethan A wazz up, ahhh Can you really tell which Sophie you chose because we all are like freaking out and there’s this cool blog where we all chatter about it all the time…” So guess what his answer may be……. He then has a solid 10 seconds or so where he stares in Sophie’s direction, processing how he feels about this recent discovery. So when the ending supposedly reduces her to a blabbering fake shadow of someone else entirely, I think it actually doesn’t. One survivor made an appearance earlier in the movie, but the whereabouts of the other was unknown at the time. There is a real opportunity for both Ethan and Sophie to grow and change. So I think, based on that, we can safely debunk the robot theory. She looks over at Sophie-A who is so confused at this point everything is happening so fast & is crying because her feelings are tearing her apart. And in every scene after Ethan and Sophie drive away from the house Ethan always has on the glasses. Seriously. The look at the Sophie B’ face suggest may be that she felt the same , no matter what they have to stick and stuck together, both B’s. The relationship is going to a different layer and different level of truth there. I didn’t make that connection! This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Through watching the movie and reading some of the theories I have concocted my own: And Ethan-A would have been the only Ethan who knew about the bacon. Now looking at SophieA, she sees EthanB as the person she fell in love with, “wants to stay at the resort” in a happier more content life. So that to me, that further indicates its S2, who has entirely different characteristics and mannerisms. Im trying hard here to end this discussion. Nothing antagonistic, just basic curiosity. SophieB was not in sync with him anymore and knew EthanA was the only opportunity to leave. Then the bedroom scene. Nothing in this movie tells me that S2 was hoping to take over the life of S1. Sophie Aeven said she never wanted to leave. Time passes, and things seem to be going really well between Real-Ethan and Sophie’s Double. I have only read through half of these comments because there are so many. We know they can’t leave the house so it’s not like they snuck out the back. I think id contact the writer/director to clarify this or il go mad figuring it out lol. We will never know…. The plot revolves around a couple having problems with their marriage and seek counseling. Ethan-A realizes this, grabs her and starts running. The only visible difference during scene 1:24:55 is the makeup of the two ladies, 1 has visibly less makeup compared to other one, especially the lipstick. I felt the the B versions were using somewhat horrible manipulation on the A versions and that scared me a little which built up the suspense for me. Ethan’s Double asks Real-Sophie to join him. I think I would take 2, and so would the B’s. Ethan B didn’t care who he left with. I’m not questioning the therapist and his empty office so much because I do not find this very important, as I am not into the sci-fi, complot kind of theory. After that, the doubles could leave into the world “as them”. (Or vice versa). My man Lux, has a point. And I love the analogy of the Russian dolls! Just like Eternal Sunshine, safety not guaranteed and many more. Right? Here’s our attempt to offer a snapshot of the ‘Enemy’ ending, explained. If I was forced to endure something like that I’d absolutely seek out revenge once I’d escaped. We always see what we want to see. He doesn’t even think twice about the other Sophie because all he can think of is escape. He doesn’t know that he’s not with the Real-Sophie until she offers to make him breakfast – “I was thinking maybe eggs and bacon“. Tedd Danson being unavailable in the end. The over arching point anyway. It’s been a while since I’ve watched that movie. If you are mainly looking to know what happened at the end of the film, go here – The One I Love: Movie Ending Explained. A – E leave together… The movie has a Black Mirror vibe to it. Obviously, the film doesn’t resolve this possibility, it leaves us in limbo. Correction well noted. Basically, I think the driving force of this plot is that 1 couple must be “in love” while another couple is “out of love” in order for a couple to leave. I was sure it was Sophie B. Where has his paranoid snooping, a likely result of his own cheating, gotten him? Maybe something in their program goes wrong as they learn more and now they think they can escape. No way. He second-guesses whether Sophie is being real, and decides to let it go. That whole card game scene served as a way to show that Ethan B is a bit more insidious than he seems. Or… what if!!!???! And the acting is very good too. ———————- If Sophie-A stays, they all stay and she has lost Ethan-B. Now, that picture in the guestbook certain wasn’t taken first thing in the morning. She is amazed by his answer – he was amazed by her strength. Haha! The confusion is that they look like clones, but they’re really just entirely different people who’ve somehow been masked to look like them (again, don’t want to know how). Ethan wants the real Sophie, hurt and all. However, it’s a pretty entertaining movie, do give it a watch if you haven’t already. 1. My feeling is that all the technical stuff in the coop helped to create ‘holograms’ that made the B couple look like the A couple. (Looking back at the bed and remembering their encounter)…. Not with him, but FROM him. I haven’t thought since day one of writing this post that Real Sophie made it out, and it was primarily for this thought logic. I suggest you brush up on what the word “penultimate” means. The very ending bit: A troubled couple vacate to a beautiful getaway, … listen, Only two people can leave today.” (does not specify with whom or which couple). No. He doesn’t really care because he has the love of both Sophies and can take or leave either. Sophie-A is the wildcard. What makes you jump to this sort of nonsensical flights of fancy exactly? Because obviously she would be concerned about Ethan B trying to escape and leave her since she wanted to stay with him seemingly up until that point. Anyways, that was my two cents :). Nothing doing. “It was full on grand theft covers, look at this, come see.” Therefore your theory – that thru being confronted by the best version of your partner would lead you to realize you’re still in love – is as good as any. The end game is that the real Ethan and Sophie will be trapped in his villa while the doubles will exit and live happily. In the end of the movie this is what she got. It would make no sense if it were the A’s. Oh really? “The One I Love” is a thinking film that skews much closer to the romantic comedy vein of its trailer, but offers just enough icy and sobering implications to get that hamster wheel moving in your head that will nudge you ever so slightly to the edge of your seat. Real-Ethan leaves, he meets Real-Sophie and brings her back to the guest house and notices that the breakfast and the plates are all gone. The character goes under situations which transforms him\ her. The therapist must also avoid getting entangled in the partner’s relationship, hence the symbolism of the empty therapy office at the end of the film. So he’s letting go of his selfish ideals and he’s willing to work for their relationship now. They had apparently never tried to swap. Per Sleepyhead’s comment, at the end when they run out after Ethan-B hits the force field, Sophie-A and B appear to stay on their respective sides and we are given no reason to think otherwise. But you are right, it kind of falls apart when one of the “angels” starts to claw her way out of the prison! In short, the way this therapist deals with troubled couples is to send them off to his enchanted villa. Ethan-A wants to leave, period. (Which I just killed by saying it out loud. The ending of this film is an excellent example, where it is actually crystal clear that “Ethan A” (the original) left with “Sophie A”, not with “Sophie B” as many erroneously assume. This movie freaks me out much more Mulholland Drive by David Lynch. This T-shirt represents how E1 now is also changed – parallel to how the bacon thing shows us S1 had. Sorry, Taylor, no Disney ending for me. Relationships should be a 50/50 and it’s not fair for him to do all the compromising. Ethan-A has one last moment of doubt, briefly marvels at the crazy change in his life and commits to his decision. Now, there is not point to her staying. The technology used for simultaneous existence. Well i believe everyone who shared something here is right in their own way & thats the very beauty of this movie. Once changed and having sent Sophie-A on a mission to get toothpaste and toothbrush with Ethan-A in place in the bathroom, Sophie-B is free to slip downstairs to impersonate Sophie-A and get that one kiss that says it all. But I think the meat of the movie is the struggle to integrate the actual relationship with what they each wish the relationship was. I know it’s not the case but that would be more interesting. Obviously, Sophie and Ethan are both avoiding critical issues in their marriage. The 2014 movie, The One I Love, is a psychological thriller sprinkled with some fantasy and is directed by Charlie McDowell. If we assume they have always have to be the best version of the real people then how many hundreds of couples would they have to deceive before they could stomach sleeping with and seducing strangers knowing all the time they’re deceiving them. The One I Love (Belongs to Somebody Else), a 1920s song "The One I Love" (Allan Jones song), a song from the 1938 movie Everybody Sing Dedicated to the One I Love, a 1957 song by The Shirelles "The One I Love" (R.E.M. Remember when Borden and his wife are talking and his wife says, somedays I know that you love me. So from this information, the possibility that it even COULD be S2 has been established; just because E1 was the one to get out, it doesn’t mean it HAD to be with his own Sophie. I guess I am willing to suspend my disbelief for the weird stuff that happened over the weekend but think it only happens in the retreat. It’s a complicated task that requires trust and teamwork and unity from its participants. (Besides the fact that you think my blog is cool! She would not have started making bacon even if she had changed. Well played fine sir. He didn’t play the game and you’re not allowed to cheat! Now this is definitely Couple#5 because of the computer files Ethan-A found where Ted Danson was teaching Couple-B how to emulate their voices, also Ethan-B was calling Ethan-A’s friends & family to learn about his life because Sophie-B says when they leave they take over the previous couples life. She goes on to explain that the idea was only to pit Real-Ethan and Real-Sophie against each other so that they would both be trapped. He remains in the guest house pretending to be Ethan B forcing Ethan B to assume the identity of Ethan A. This is probably the most important rule. Wow. Which makes sense. They’re not custom built machinery, they’re actual people who existed outside of the retreat at some point. But he has turned. 2) Ethan says she’ll have to do more than kiss him for hoarding the duvet which conveys that it doesn’t occur often or that it never happened hitherto. Is it possible that he lied to Sophie B by saying I will be right there but rather was on his way to the mansion to get to Sophie A? So if we started at the very beginning of this chain as A’s, it could have looked something like this: A – A begin on site and are locked there. Hahaha. They both let go of two different things- but they did let go- and as was stated before… letting go is the key to being able to leave. Gonna have to map it on a whiteboard! It’s just potentially Sophie A totally f-ing with Ethan A, like “hey maybe you left with the wrong one” and we don’t even know if she makes bacon, she just says it to get a rise out of him. Number 1, I think deciding how the whole thing “works” and what the “rules” are makes a difference. Sophie B outright says she’d rather stay trapped there with Ethan-B. Including trying to run straight out the front gate on his own. Was he thinking of getting contacts? A cheap shot by the director, but a clever cheap shot. PS 2: I have only ONE problem with my explanation. (How’s that for hedging?) Well that’s their original plan and then it goes off the tracks when Ethan B falls for Sophie A. I’m sorry, I just had to jump in here and ask if you caught what she did there? B – B arrives. Sophie too had to come to this reality. Guests #6 – “We never want to leave. Even E2 did not dig her anymore. After the brawl between the two Ethans, and Ethan-B races out of the house, Ethan-A leaves the two Sophies alone… it is here, I believe, the switch takes place… as we watch them run out of the house at the end, and knowing that the 2 Sophies have switched places, we now know that the woman on the left is actually Sophie-B, and there is a moment in that scene, when the two Sophies exchange a look… even the slightest of nods (that to me says, ok… I’m leaving with Ethan-1, you can stay with Ethan-2 cause like… you love him and well… no one wants me, so I’m gett’in out of Dodge). Or lying to oneself about who you really are and how you really feel about yourself as we an see with Sophie A and Sophie B. Both the B versions were the underlying personas trying to sabotage the relationship. The plot is centred on …, Barry's Time Travel Review Score Mechanics Repercussion Coherence Rewatchability 1.4 BaTTR Score What’s BaTTR Score? The One I Love is about the characters. Thus letting go unlocks the spell for her. My favorite line of your comment, “also, WTF this movie.” Brilliantly summed up right t here. One thing bugged me. * If they are trapped spirits, there would be no way to leave the guest house or to coexist. It ruins the effect! Ideally, the couple would grow and move on together (hence the purpose of it being a couple retreat) but either way “moving on” from whatever issues or flaws that trapped you there in the first place is what enables you to leave. BUT Ethan-B fell for Sophie-A and was determined to leave Sophie-B, but could he actually leave with Sophie-A? And who could blame him? :) :). "The One I Love" is a romance and a mystery and a drama, with really only two characters in it, characters who are sketches approximating human beings, but played with sadness and humor by the two lead actors. I personally love the ambiguity and that’s what makes this film intriguing once the mystery has been solved of who these B-people are (some other actual humans who were made to look and act like Sophie and Ethan). Otherwise, I dare say, she is unbelievably naive. And that is the facial expression of Ethan when he hears the bacon thing. Sophie is happy enjoying it for what it is. It’s a reach, but presumably Ethan b knew the rules, so why would he try to run away at the end by himself. They do make it back… but they don’t make it back to THEIR real world. We are left to come up with our own explanation for the phone. I can’t figure why you keep mentioning the need for a missing bacon conversation between Ethan A and Sophie B for this angle to make sense. But alas, my gut feeling was proven right by the ending of this film. I’m not sure which version would account for the comments in the guest books. I just think that the B’s would go back to who they were once they escape the retreat. But maybe it was too low budget (and I didn’t know it was so low budget til reading this either). His love for movies and production has led him to write his well-received film explanation and analysis articles to help everyone appreciate the films better. So I think it’s as much PERSONAL growth as it is growth as a couple, that allows you to leave. Either way, she’s still growing and changing and therefore, less inclined to be the one trapped. Oh well, this is working anyway (getting up and going to her)…”. Now on to some of your question marks. Fake Sophie just accept that and changes her mind when before we hear her saying that prefers to be trapped with him (fake Ethan). One more piece of evidence in the B column. And we see him realizing that something is out of place about it. Think of it this way, the guy is essentially conducting social experiments on unwitting couples and holding them captive against their will, it would be unwise of him to stay operating in one location for long periods of time because it increases the risk of him being caught by the authorities, not to mention the high possibility of his previous victims seeking him out for revenge once they’ve successfully escaped (they may have agreed to work with him to transform themselves into the next couple’s dopplegangers, but it’s not like they have a choice in the matter because they’re literally stuck in the retreat until they comply and successfully carry out the mission that the counselor has given them). When she realized Sophie-A is just keeping quite, she just gave out a ‘I have done it’ smile. It now makes sense to him. Also, if the therapist would have told Ethan to stop having an affair, Ethan would not be able to build a more solid self and would not learn to take responsibility for his actions. I am late to the show, but Amazon finally had this movie on Prime. A couple (Mark Duplass, Elisabeth Moss) whose marriage is crumbling have a surreal experience during a weekend getaway at a house recommended by their therapist (Ted Danson). That A is attempting to be more like his carefree self? I could go on forever. If you haven’t watched that series you absolutely should, you can find them on Netflix. And S1 knew E2 at this point was not E1 and yet those words is what really swept her feet. In regard to Ethan A, however, she looks pretty happy about what he said and wants to stay with him. “It really is.” Otherwise, what is the reasoning for that rule being allowed to be broken later on? Scene: 1:23:03 Sophie -A has the dried up lipstick. And so, when the movie perhaps shows me this, I conclude she didn’t. Because the most pivotal moment when Ethan makes the very first discovery 16min– he’s bringing up their fight, she’s brushing it off and cooking for him. Also WTF this movie. And yet in the end, even he didn’t realize he took the wrong girl home. B tricks 1C into staying. In the end, I’m with Mike on the not-very-good writing aspect, but it might just be personal preference on my part. I can only see one explanation — The therapist makes a statement early on along the lines of “Every couple that goes, leaves back in love.. (sorry not verbatim)”. Sophie B often wears her hair pinned back, except in a scene when she’s just gotten up and is making breakfast. Ethan got the one who really wanted to be with him even if it wasn’t Sophie A. It’s pretty straightforward. When he was talking about her taking all the blankets. Maybe the force field was put up when Ethan 1 started running. Instead, he decides to fuck everyone and run alone, completely forsaking the love of both Sophies for his own benefit. What about photo Sophie? Just like Eternal Sunshine, safety not guaranteed and many more. He confronted his actions, took responsibility and chose for Real Sophie (bathroom talk) and Fake Sophie because she was able to leave behind the person who clearly showed didn’t love her (Fake Ethan, by choosing Real Sophie and later choosing “for himself” and attempting to run). So she helps Real-Ethan leave the guest house. All I am saying is that yeah, along the way, sexes could have gotten all kinds of jacked up. And they look in the mirror and go, oh holy cow. Amazing work Sir, Mr Taylor Holmes & all the people sharing their views & all possible & weird possibilites regarding the movie. But I do think it wasn’t what he was was used to. Take care. Mike, the background of certain situations isn’t always important. Indeed she fell hard for E2, but not who E2 actually was. I’d like for the writer to know exactly how the fictional world works and opt to limit that knowledge. Thanks for taking the time out to read through everything here! I think as much as all us disney ending lovers hate it, he went off with the fake sophie, at-least for me, because when he looks at the girls obviously he assumes his wife would leave with him, one of the girl’s is looking down and that is probably his wife who cant meet his eyes, the other one the fake sophie is by now in disdain, smartly keeps quiet to see if the real sophie would actually leave, which she doesnt so she grabs the moment and the triumphant smile gives it away. adjective Sophie B has her heart broken by her husband and let’s go of the dream of working things out. all of this seemed to be explained in the movie. Well who had the stronger relationship? When right side Sophie looks at Ethan A, she seems much sadder. He realizes it and after a minute readily accepts it as if he also knew all along too because he has to. What finally won her was a story about E1 and emotions connected entirely to E1. "We met at a party and it was magic." He’s regularly available for a chat conversation on his website and consults on storyboarding from time to time. Take care mate, and be sure to swing back through. That is a great detail I hadn’t noticed before. 4.
