Remy: Juno from The Descent
I know we have pretty much talked this movie to death, but it hit me that very few people seem to talk about this (very important) aspect of the story – the dichotomy between Sarah and Juno, especially once Sarah figures out what Juno was doing with her husband behind her back, before his death. If you paid close attention to the beginning of the film, you would see that Sarah’s husband and Juno actually shared a lingering glance (during the rafting intro) that planted the seed that this woman may have been a bit amoral. Now, add to that the fact that our characters are all in The Descent‘s predicament because Juno thought exploring an unexplored cave full of monsters would be a great bonding experience for her and her friends. Wow, screwing people’s husbands and then getting them trapped in a cave with a bunch of feral orcs from Lord of the Rings? Yeah, that constitutes a death scene, I would say.
And what a death scene it is. After helping to kill the murder of orcs that was trying to kill them (it is a fact that orcs group together like crows, so they would be called a murder. Also, it is super-metal) Sarah reveals the keychain her husband gave to Juno, then she chops her Achilles so she will be stuck there and justly murdered for her crimes. Actually, not sure if that is just. But it was awesome, and in that moment, Sarah grew balls ten times the size of any man she had ever known, and people I was in the theater with cheered. THAT is how much we hated that bitch.
