Why was the dead girl always sitting on Bens shoulders in Shutter?!
Question: Whats the point in that?
Answers: Whats the point in that?
Because she loved him and wanted to be with him forever, plus it was a metaphor for him bearing the weight (guilt) of having been involved in her death.
i saw the original version and that was kinda confusing, i guess she's on his shoulders because hes forced to be with her forever
