Red Lights, directed by Rodrigo Cortés came out in 2012 and has well-known actors like Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro, Toby Jones, Joely Richardson, and Elizabeth Olsen.
After a long time, people have started asking an interesting question about the movie. Some of the people who watched it want to know more about what happens in the movie. A few of them even think that the movie is based on a real story. But is it?
Is Red Lights a real story?
First, Red Lights is a made-up story, not something that really happened. The person who came up with the story is Rodrigo Cortés. The main story is about a man named Simon Silver. He’s famous for saying he can do psychic things. Then, we meet Margaret Matheson and Tom Buckley. They want to show that Silver isn’t really psychic to everyone.
But as we continue with the story, we will find out that Silver’s job was ruined by someone who didn’t like him. On one side, Silver wanted to come back and show his skills again. He had been away from his special talent for a long time, but now he’s ready to come back. On the other side, something very surprising happens in the story.
Matheson is said to have passed away! People are saying she died from a serious health issue, but Tom, who knows her well, doesn’t want to believe it.
Something didn’t seem right, so Buckley began a big investigation. The helper will try really hard to show that the city’s famous psychic is not real. The amazing things Silver does are actually very clever tricks! But figuring out what’s really going on is really tough. Tom has to be careful and act fast, because if he makes a mistake, it could change his life forever.
But remember, before he died, Matheson told him to stay far away from this situation. Now, about the movie Red Lights, it’s mostly about believing or doubting things. Even at the end, you won’t be sure who’s correct. It’s not a real story, but the exciting plot of Red Lights has lots of surprises that really amazed us!
Did Tom succeed in proving Simon Silver wrong? Let’s understand the ending of Red Lights
After Buckley’s laboratory is vandalized, it’s clear that Silver has got a good hint of his investigation procedure. Thus, starts the final part of the movie. On one side, those who were helping Buckley managed to get hold of the crucial footage.
While on the other hand, Buckley exposes Silver to the whole world. During one of his popular public performances, Silver is taken aback by Buckley’s interruption, but guess what, it’s too late for him to react now. He finally proves that Silom holds a good knowledge of paranormal activities and all of his natural phenomena shows are based on this record.
The movie ends with Tom writing a heartfelt letter to his teacher who passed away, Matheson. In the letter, Tom talks about how finding out the truth about Simon changed how he sees life. He finally understands what Matheson was teaching him. It was a difficult journey for Tom, and he’s still trying to learn more about strange activities.
He also explains why he decided to work with Matheson. Near the end of the movie, something sad happens. Tom decides to turn off a machine that was keeping Margaret’s son alive. He was stuck between life and death, but now he can rest peacefully.
