Flatliners or They Almost Said The Name So Many Times!
Well, it’s safe to say that Flatliners didn’t fall flat for me. I want to start by saying that I’m well aware this is a remake, but I have not seen the original, so this is an analysis purely of the newer film. I think having expectations in the minus numbers probably helped, so keep that in mind when I say that this film was full of surprises. The first being that I didn’t have a heart attack and explode - I’m prone to panic attacks that manifest as palpitations and thinking that I can’t breathe, so I’m personally very proud to have survived a film that revolved around people defibrillating themselves to death, then back to life, followed by pulling big massive tubes from deep in their throats. Anyway, far more importantly, the women in this under-advertised horror/sci-fi B-movie were actually pretty fantastic.
*Flatliners spoilers follow*
The film opens with two women - Courtney (Ellen Page) and her younger sister Tessa (Madison Brydges). One of them dies almost immediately, which is obviously not so good, but a flashback to the loss of a sister to serve as plausible character motivation is at least somewhat better to murdering a developed female character as an “excuse” for a man to feel emotions. This scene is then closely followed by the first conversation of the film, between Courtney and her fellow med-student Sophia (Kiersey Clemons), who talk about the stresses of school so it seems that Flatliners passes the Bechdel test. Not that that’s the be all and end all of feminist representation, but it’s a good start. As long as we’re ticking boxes, the main characters form a gang of five, three of whom are women, so well done again Flatliners.
After this great introduction, there were a couple of moments that gave me the impression that this film was going to be gross - the introduction of Jamie (James Norton) in general, I can’t even remember what he did but he made some primal part of me bristle and want to get away from him; Dr Wolfs (Kiefer Sutherland) putting crazy pressure on all the students, feeling the need to physically assert his authority by whacking his cane around the place and Courtney’s initial resuscitation becoming weirdly sexual and about male strength when Jamie is told to, “get in top of her if you must” and straddles her.
However, these were the exception rather than the rule. We were shown a variety of female relationships - the aforementioned sisterly bond, however brief, as well as positive platonic friendships. On the other hand, less healthy relationships were also shown, such as Sophie’s fraught relationship with her mother (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and Sophie’s past bullying of classmate Irina Wong (Jenny Raven). That women are allowed to exist all along the spectrum of morality, to make questionable choices in a variety of stations as well as being exemplary, paints them as more three dimensional characters. Furthermore, Irina’s forgiveness of Sophie is an emotional and powerful moment, displaying  different kinds of strength in both women - the courage and honesty to ask for redemption and the selfless benevolence to give it.
The way that women interact with men is also unexpected as, for the most part, they ware in control - save for a couple of examples such as Marlo (Naria Dobrev) having to leave the fun and games as soon as she is silently summoned by the arrival of her brother (Steve Byers). Courtney uses Jamie by allowing him to believe that she wants to meet him for sex, when really she just needs someone with a huge ego and very questionable morals to kill her for her experiment. She adapts his worst character traits to her purpose. Courtney herself defies gender stereotypes by being a reckless intellectual, she is a risk-taking instigator working in the name of science. Interestingly enough, the counterpoint role to this, that of a more reticent care-giver, falls to a man, Ray (Diego Luna).
In no way is this more passive portrayal demeaning, Ray is definitely my favourite character. His reluctance to take part does not come across as cowardice but as common sense - it’s so refreshing in a horror film to see someone say, nope, you’re all idiots, there’s no way I’m doing this, and then actually stick to their guns. Not only does he not join in with the stupid experiment, but he stays to competently care for everyone when he could so easily wash his hands of the whole thing and leave everyone to their, arguably deserved, sticky ends. He goes as far as to say, “whatever happens to all of you happens to me.” It’s good to see a male character’s empathy portrayed as a strong kind of loyalty, rather than weakness.
Ray continues to be outstanding by immediately respecting Marlo’s consent; the moment she shows hesitance about their sexual relationship, he instantly stops. This sounds so basic, but how many times have you seen a film where a woman asks a man to stop kissing her, but he carries on and eventually she goes with it and we’re just supposed to believe it’s because they’re so in love? Marlo does then decide that she wants to pursue this with Ray, but this pause just reinforces that the decision is entirely hers, and she retains her sexual autonomy. Unfortunately, during the other moment of female sexual conquest my tiny bladder failed me, so I missed Sophie’s conquest of Jamie, but it was described to me as exactly that - Sophie needed release and Jamie was there and happy to be used, she was in charge. Feel free to call me out on this if I’m wrong, but I thought it would be remiss of me not to mention it.
Jamie’s journey to redemption is also worth mentioning as an unusual male story. He starts of as an egotistical playboy who enters medicine for the fame and fortune. However, through his conscience haunting him in the form of a woman, Alicia (Anna Arden), he becomes a better person. He doesn’t defeat or conquer this ghost in the traditionally dominant sense that he outwits or destroys it, as she is a living woman from his past that he has seriously wronged - he got her pregnant, convinced her to have an abortion and then failed to show up at the clinic with her. He chooses to seek her out, ask for her forgiveness and attempt to take responsibility for the son he finds out he has. He does not “win the girl” - no sexual or romantic relationship is implied between him and Alicia - but he abandons his celebrity goals to take up a position closer to them. Furthermore, this is not in a breadwinner, head-of-the-family, patriarchal kind of way. From what we see he does not attempt to control this new family, rather he wants to try to support it, and be a part of it if he can.
Overall, Flatliners was a surprisingly egalitarian film in terms of gender. Both women and men were allowed to occupy spaces not usually awarded to them in film - women could try to build strong careers in a competitive world and men could form emotional attachments. Obviously this is a fairly reductive assessment, but as always with a mainstream movie, it’s good to just see these traits being normalised. Regardless of gender, the message of this film seemed to be to just be a good person and try to face and fix your mistakes, which is something I think we can all get behind.
And now for some asides:
What kind of crazy budget did this hospital have that is had another entire unused hospital underneath it? That’s where my suspension of disbelief ended.
A spooky child version of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”? Come on, even I, the world’s biggest wimp, wasn’t scared.
There must be easier and less damp rich-boy affectations to adopt than living on a yacht.
I love the Rubik’s cube as a metric of hyper-intelligence, if that’s all it takes, I’ll have one PhD please.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
• A Christian might drink only ginger ale at the tavern bar, but there he is already on the way to drinking beer and whiskey. The girl who attends a ball but never dances a step, will soon surrender her body to the lustful embrace of every casual male acquaintance as other dancers do. – John R. Rice • After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels. – Ann Richards • And then there were cats, thought Dog. He’d surprised the huge ginger cat from next door and had attempted to reduce it to cowering jelly by means of the usual glowing stare and deep-throated growl, which had always worked on the damned in the past. This time they had earned him a whack on the nose that had made his eyes water. Cats, Dog considered, were clearly a lot tougher than lost souls. He was looking forward to a further cat experiment, which he planned would consist of jumping around and yapping excitedly at it. It was a long shot, but it just might work. – Terry Pratchett • Are you not aware that my profession involves beating the living hell out of some poor-unfortunate wearing nothing more than a pair of green lycra knicks? I’m practically naked each time I step in the ring. But I tend to cover up my privates in public. No one likes ginger pubes. – Sheamus • As a dancer I couldn’t outdance Ginger Rogers or Eleanor Powell. As a singer I’m no rival to Doris Day. As an actress I don’t take myself seriously…I’m the girl the truck drivers love. – Betty Grable • As Gloria Steinem said about Ginger Rogers: She was doing everything Fred Astaire was doing, just doing it backwards in high heels. Well, Southern women are doing and enduring what other women have to do and endure, but (at least until recently) they had to do it in heels and hats and white gloves and makeup and a sweet smile, with maybe a glass of bourbon and a cigarette to get them through the magnolia part of being a steel magnolia. – Michael Malone

It tastes the way I imagine the Far East must taste. – Peter Høeg • He’s of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger…. he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. – William Shakespeare • I always have a beard between jobs.

Because they felt, well, it was just all soda. – Sheena Iyengar • I really enjoy making dinner for my kids and my husband – chopping ginger and marinating the tofu. – Sadie Frost • I’d love to play Neil Kinnock.

Those who are in great distress want no food, but if it is handed to them, they will mechanically take it ‘ … There was something arresting about the matter-of-fact wisdom here, the instinctive understanding of the physiological disruptions… I will not forget the instinctive wisdom of the friend who, every day for those first few weeks, brought me a quart container of scallion-and-ginger congee from Chinatown. Congee I could eat. Congee was all I could eat. – Joan Didion • Right now Jack lives with me. Jack is my Jack Russell.

Even if Jack’s not in the same state, she would growl if she heard his name. – Mariah Carey • Scholes was playing tiki-taka football when nobody in England knew what it was. He was another of those players, like Denis Law or Bobby Moore, who at 15 probably looked as if he wouldn’t make it.

She’s a great dancer and would just love to dance with you.”Suddenly there’s a crowd of people standing around us and they expect that they’re about to see Fred and Ginger.

Raspberries in cream. Sparrows with cocked heads. Shadows of bare limbs making for sidewalk filigrees. Roses past their prime with their petals loose about them. The shouts of children at play in the neighborhood, Ginger Rogers on the black-and-white screen. – Elizabeth Berg • There was never any question about Scholesy’s quality as a footballer. He was known as the little ginger magician in the youth team. Some reckon he’s the best United player of the modern era, and there’s a case for saying that. You don’t hear him blowing his own trumpet, though – he just gets on with his job. He’s the real deal. – Steve Bruce • Was that Will?” she said finally. Henry arched one ginger eyebrow. “Perhaps he’s been kidnapped and replaced by an automaton,” he suggested. “It seems possible…” For once Charlotte could only find herself in agreement. – Cassandra Clare • We live thetime that a match flickers; we pop the corkof a ginger-beer bottle, and the earthquake swallows us on the instant. Is it not odd, is it not incongruous, is it not, in the highest sense of human speech, incredible, that we should think so highly of the ginger-beer, and regard so little the devouring earthquake? – Robert Louis Stevenson • What kind of tea do you want?” “There´s more than one kind of tea?…What do you have?” “Let´s see… Blueberry, Raspberry, Ginseng, Sleepytime, Green Tea, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Lemon and Honey, Liver Disaster, Ginger with Honey, Ginger Without Honey, Vanilla Almond, White Truffle Coconut, Chamomile, Blueberry Chamomile, Decaf Vanilla Walnut, Constant Comment and Earl Grey.” -“I.. Uh…What are you having?… Did you make some of those up? – Bryan Lee O’Malley • What’s all this talk about me being teamed with Ginger Rogers? I will not have it Leland–I did not go into pictures to be teamed with her or anyone else, and if that is the program in mind for me I will not stand for it. I don’t mind making another picture with her but as for this teams idea, it’s out. – Ginger Rogers • When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman. – Gene Kelly • When I realised I had a facility for humour, I latched on to it, and it gave me confidence and I built my personality around it. So I subconsciously made myself become the funny one so that would be my label rather than the ginger one or the red-faced one. – Catherine Tate • When I think back about my immediate reaction to that redheads girl, it seems to spring from an appreciation of natural beauty. I mean the heart pleasure you get from looking at speckled leaves or the palimpsested bark of plane trees in Provence. There was something richly appealing to her color combination, the ginger snaps floating in the milk-white skin, the golden highlights in the strawberry hair. it was like autumn, looking at her. It was like driving up north to see the colors. – Jeffrey Eugenides • When I was a little kid I always wanted to be ginger. My best friend was ginger and he was pretty cool. – Noel Fielding • When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it’s because you’re fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. – Lily Cole • When I’m off the road, and I can really control my diet down to the calorie, I juice seven days a week. Every afternoon, whatever I have at hand, beets, carrots, ginger, whatever. I juice, literally, every single day. And on the road, I try to find fresh juice wherever I can. – Henry Rollins • When two people love each other, they don’t look at each other, they look in the same direction. – Ginger Rogers • When you have a Dancing partner, there’s always gonna be a moment where the girl’s gonna cry, Ginger didn’t do that. But, most every other girl I’ve worked with have cried because they said “aah, I can’t do it” and I have to go “Yes, you can, Shut up!” and they do do it. – Fred Astaire • Whoever takes just plain ginger ale soon gets drowned out of the conversation. – Kin Hubbard

It tastes the way I imagine the Far East must taste. – Peter Høeg • He’s of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger…. he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. – William Shakespeare • I always have a beard between jobs. I just let it grow until they pay me to shave it. People are quite surprised it’s ginger. Sometimes they ask me if dye my hair and I always say ‘Wow, no!’ I’m ‘trans-ginger.’ – James McAvoy • I bought one of those anti-bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say ‘bought’, I actually stole it off a short, fat ginger kid. – Jack Whitehall • I drink a lot of everything; beer while watching football. I have a taste for whiskey, but Jack Daniels and ginger is about as fancy as it gets with me. – Jeff Gannon • I grew up watching old musicals and seeing Ginger Rogers wearing a beautiful fitted bodice that had ostrich feathers. I love how it moved when she danced. Theatrical pieces like that stayed with me. I wanted to grow up to wear those kinds of things. – Gina Torres • I have been wearing black, which was a reaction to the Ginger thing. But now I have hopes and I can be anything. Tomorrow I might be naked with a feather boa, who knows? – Geri Halliwell • I have to be a ginger for 3 weeks. – Katy Perry • I haven’t shaved my private parts, but I dyed them once for a laugh! They looked more ginger, though! – Lee Ryan • I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them – the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world. – Sharon Stone • I personally don’t think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff. – Ed Sheeran • I put out a good 10 different types of drinks for them and they just said, “Oh, okay, so it’s just one choice.” One choice? I gave you Coke, Pepsi, Ginger Ale, Sprite. They saw that as one choice. Now why was that one choice? Because they felt, well, it was just all soda. – Sheena Iyengar • I really enjoy making dinner for my kids and my husband – chopping ginger and marinating the tofu. – Sadie Frost • I’d love to play Neil Kinnock. Because of my ginger hair, I thought that was a possibility. He’s a hero and a villain in most people’s eyes, but I’d like to do that, I think I’d be right for it. – Jason Flemyng • If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be rhubarb fool, which I make with ginger and a hint of elderflower cordial. – Sebastian Faulks • If I had to rate myself between one and 10? If you’re a gingerist and like ginger guys, I guess I’m a seven, with make-up on maybe an eight. If you’re not a gingerist, I’m probably a six, six and a half. – Jason Flemyng • If there is one thing of which I am most proud, it’s that I made being ginger cool! – Rupert Grint • I’ll always be the ginger one from Harry Potter. – Rupert Grint • I’m ginger, so it’s hard to rate me – Jason Flemyng • I’m half Scottish, half Welsh and I regard red hair as perfectly ordinary. And to set the record straight, contrary to reports, he has never referred to himself as the ‘Ginger Ninja’. – Helen McCrory • I’m just some irritating, lying, ginger kid from Cornwall who should have been locked up in some youth detention centre. I just managed to escape and blag it into music. – Aphex Twin • I’m out here to represent the gingers, the gypsies, and the outcasts. Because I am all of the above, and I’m all about having a great time. – Neon Hitch • I’m quite sexy – if you like gingers. – Jason Flemyng • I’m so proud to be part of Harry Potter and even prouder to be representing the gingers. – Rupert Grint • In England we burnt redheads at the stake, because we thought they were witches. There are still young redheads in Britain getting ripped for having red hair. ‘Oy, Ginger!’ – Damian Lewis • Inside my heart, there’s a 12-year-old girl who has always wanted to be Ginger Rogers. – Samantha Bond • I’ve always been quite a proud ginger so I couldn’t dye it and betray the other gingers. – Rupert Grint • I’ve had years of teasing about my red hair, but I definitely think it toughened me up. If you’re ginger, you end up pretty quick-witted. – Ed Sheeran • I’ve never had food in my fridge. All I have in my fridge is one shelf of Canada Dry ginger ale, Diet Cokes on the next shelf, and ZeroWater on the next shelf. That is it. – Brigid Berlin • Jamaica has the best coffee, the best sugar, the best ginger and some of the best cocoa in the world. – Chris Blackwell • Last time I was sick, the guy I was seeing brought me a bottle of ginger ale… and expected me to pay him back for it. ~Jaime Vegas – Kelley Armstrong • Money can’t buy you love, but it can get you some really good chocolate ginger biscuits. – Dylan Moran • My dog, Ginger, is jumpy-like me-sensitive to sound and sudden movement. She wasn’t that way at first, but not long after we got her, my grandfather told me to stand still outside and hold her leash tight. Then he shot a gun off by our feet, several times. “This is how girls learn to obey,” he said, “how to be seen and not heard.” – Mira Bartok • My father said once that if I didn’t have my mother’s ginger hair, I wouldn’t blush or curse as easily. Which I though was unfair. I hardly ever curse or blush, even though I’ve had plenty of days that required both. – Maggie Stiefvater • My favorite ginger is Prince Harry! – Andy Cohen • My fridge is really just vegan: coconut water, Gatorade (my favorite!), cucumbers, mint, kale, vegetables, ginger, and wheat grass. – Serena Williams • My ginger tabby cat Oscar – he’s got his own passport – he comes everywhere with me. – Ashley Madekwe • My husband calls me a ginger every single day of my life, so that Im completely used to it, and Ive come to see it as a term of endearment. – Jayma Mays • My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months. – Ginger Rogers • Nose, nose, jolly red nose,And who gave thee that jolly red nose?Nutmegs and ginger, cinammon and cloves;And they gave me this jolly red nose. – Francis Beaumont • Now, many of us in the Labour Party are conservationists – and we all love the red squirrel. But there is one ginger rodent which we never want to see again – Danny Alexander. – Harriet Harman • Of course, Ginger was able to accomplish sex through dance. We told more through our movements instead of the big clinch. We did it all in the dance. – Fred Astaire • Oh, God, I’m so lonely. An entire weekend streching ahead with no one to love or have fun with. Anyway, I don’t care. I’ve got a lovely steamed ginger pudding from M&S to put in the microwave. – Helen Fielding • Only a ginger, can call another ginger Ginger. – Tim Minchin • Power is all. Another falsification; I do not tell how I gain or maintain it. I only record the ginger stroll through the vaguely fetid garden of its rewards. – Samuel R. Delany • Prepare a little hot tea or broth and it should be brought to them . . . without their being asked if they would care for it. Those who are in great distress want no food, but if it is handed to them, they will mechanically take it ‘ … There was something arresting about the matter-of-fact wisdom here, the instinctive understanding of the physiological disruptions… I will not forget the instinctive wisdom of the friend who, every day for those first few weeks, brought me a quart container of scallion-and-ginger congee from Chinatown. Congee I could eat. Congee was all I could eat. – Joan Didion • Right now Jack lives with me. Jack is my Jack Russell. I also have a Yorkie named Ginger, but Jack and Ginger can’t be in the same place at the same time because she is very jealous. Even if Jack’s not in the same state, she would growl if she heard his name. – Mariah Carey • Scholes was playing tiki-taka football when nobody in England knew what it was. He was another of those players, like Denis Law or Bobby Moore, who at 15 probably looked as if he wouldn’t make it. Too small, you would think – can’t run, dumpy little ginger nut – but then the ball would come to him and he would dazzle you. He was the best footballer in that Manchester United midfield, better than Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane. – Harry Redknapp • The only time I feel pressured is when some woman’s husband comes over and says, “Will you go ask my wife to dance? She’s a great dancer and would just love to dance with you.”Suddenly there’s a crowd of people standing around us and they expect that they’re about to see Fred and Ginger. Here the woman and I have just met, and these people think that it’s showtime. That is the only time I think it is really embarrassing. – Gene Kelly • The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first. – Ginger Rogers • The real color of my hair is mouse. I always want to be ginger, which I was when I was born, or blond, because I live in L.A., and I want to look like I go surfing without any physical effort. – John Lydon • The things that brought me the most comfort now were too small to list. Raspberries in cream. Sparrows with cocked heads. Shadows of bare limbs making for sidewalk filigrees. Roses past their prime with their petals loose about them. The shouts of children at play in the neighborhood, Ginger Rogers on the black-and-white screen. – Elizabeth Berg • There was never any question about Scholesy’s quality as a footballer. He was known as the little ginger magician in the youth team. Some reckon he’s the best United player of the modern era, and there’s a case for saying that. You don’t hear him blowing his own trumpet, though – he just gets on with his job. He’s the real deal. – Steve Bruce • Was that Will?” she said finally. Henry arched one ginger eyebrow. “Perhaps he’s been kidnapped and replaced by an automaton,” he suggested. “It seems possible…” For once Charlotte could only find herself in agreement. – Cassandra Clare • We live thetime that a match flickers; we pop the corkof a ginger-beer bottle, and the earthquake swallows us on the instant. Is it not odd, is it not incongruous, is it not, in the highest sense of human speech, incredible, that we should think so highly of the ginger-beer, and regard so little the devouring earthquake? – Robert Louis Stevenson • What kind of tea do you want?” “There´s more than one kind of tea?…What do you have?” “Let´s see… Blueberry, Raspberry, Ginseng, Sleepytime, Green Tea, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Lemon and Honey, Liver Disaster, Ginger with Honey, Ginger Without Honey, Vanilla Almond, White Truffle Coconut, Chamomile, Blueberry Chamomile, Decaf Vanilla Walnut, Constant Comment and Earl Grey.” -“I.. Uh…What are you having?… Did you make some of those up? – Bryan Lee O’Malley • What’s all this talk about me being teamed with Ginger Rogers? I will not have it Leland–I did not go into pictures to be teamed with her or anyone else, and if that is the program in mind for me I will not stand for it. I don’t mind making another picture with her but as for this teams idea, it’s out. – Ginger Rogers • When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman. – Gene Kelly • When I realised I had a facility for humour, I latched on to it, and it gave me confidence and I built my personality around it. So I subconsciously made myself become the funny one so that would be my label rather than the ginger one or the red-faced one. – Catherine Tate • When I think back about my immediate reaction to that redheads girl, it seems to spring from an appreciation of natural beauty. I mean the heart pleasure you get from looking at speckled leaves or the palimpsested bark of plane trees in Provence. There was something richly appealing to her color combination, the ginger snaps floating in the milk-white skin, the golden highlights in the strawberry hair. it was like autumn, looking at her. It was like driving up north to see the colors. – Jeffrey Eugenides • When I was a little kid I always wanted to be ginger. My best friend was ginger and he was pretty cool. – Noel Fielding • When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it’s because you’re fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. – Lily Cole • When I’m off the road, and I can really control my diet down to the calorie, I juice seven days a week. Every afternoon, whatever I have at hand, beets, carrots, ginger, whatever. I juice, literally, every single day. And on the road, I try to find fresh juice wherever I can. – Henry Rollins • When two people love each other, they don’t look at each other, they look in the same direction. – Ginger Rogers • When you have a Dancing partner, there’s always gonna be a moment where the girl’s gonna cry, Ginger didn’t do that. But, most every other girl I’ve worked with have cried because they said “aah, I can’t do it” and I have to go “Yes, you can, Shut up!” and they do do it. – Fred Astaire • Whoever takes just plain ginger ale soon gets drowned out of the conversation. – Kin Hubbard
