Enemy (2013)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA:
Directed by: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal (Adam/Anthony), Mélanie Laurent (Mary), Sarah Gadon (Helen), Isabella Rossellini (Mother)
Country: Canada
Language: English (Eng Subs)
Runtime: 01:30:48
Genres: Psychological Thrillers, Infidelity

Plot – Spoilers:
A history teacher Adam finds his days cyclical teaching the same rote and having the same type of sex with a woman Mary who drops by his apartment in the evenings. A casual conversation with a colleague leads to him watching a film in which he notices a bellboy who looks exactly like him. Adam now becomes obsessed with finding out more about this actor.

Normally in a scenario like this, you’d be like – ok, so some twin? What’s interesting about that. But that’s what makes Enemy such a good watch. The simple concept of a possible twin is approached in a manner that keeps you on edge while piling on the tension.

The Ending
The safest assumption to make is that Adam and Anthony are one person. From here, you can go in multiple directions.

A big budget mainstream film, the kind EUM viewers get apprehensive about. Well you can all rest easy because this one is super fucked up and bizarre and belongs here on EUM. It is one of the strangest psychological thrillers on this site for sure. The director used the “Mexico filter” to give it a yellow tint. The musical score is just fabulous. It’s weird and fucked up and I thought it was fantastic. I loved the ending. 5 stars.

I have never ran to the internet so fast in my life searching for answers than after watching this for the first time. It completely ruins the what the fuckness of the movie though if you explain it and makes the ending extremely anticlimactic. Almost like being disappointed once you learn the secret to a magic trick.

I enjoyed this movie, could have gone on longer.. BUT that ending is rather strange and has no meaning.. I mean, there is notion of spider activity, but still , no meaning. At least, not enough.

I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, great film giving you different perspective you can look through on the matter.
Incredible light and color palette work.

Very intriguing film. Doppelgangers perhaps? Didn’t understand the ending but perhaps that’s just me.

first move ive seen in a while i can accurately describe as just ok. the concept is enjoyable, and no doubt jake gyllenhaal is a great actor. it seems to suffer from what i can only describe as student film syndrome, the dialogue feels far too “tell, dont show” and the characters feel less like real people with reason-based objectives and more like puppets to the script. the plot was confusing but that seems to be the charm of it. dont think i can consider it a good or a bad movie, glad i saw it though thanks EUM

Interesting approach on the film, let you see 1st and 3rd person perspective. The only thing that confuse me is the spider which no matter how i think of it was just a misfit piece in the film.
