Out of all of the movies I have watched in my day, The Oregonian very well may be the most strange movie I have ever watched. But it is this quality that made this movie enjoyable for me. To be honest, when I watched this movie I never at any point had any clue what was going on or what the purpose could be. I think this is the reason why this movie has gotten some negative reviews, because the critics don't appreciate true intellectual weirdness, aka genius. I did not have my true appreciation for this movie until afterwards, lying awake at night wondering what the hell I just watched, and looking up explanations on my phone. After reading various websites, I came to the conclusion that the true genius is that there is no right answer as to what happened in this movie. You can guess and use logic all you want to but two people may never have the same interpretation of the content and story which makes it a different experience for everyone. I hope that if you are reading this review wondering whether to watch this movie, you are looking for something unique instead of another goddamn boxing movie. Its the same plot every time how are these still selling. Well long story short, you need The Oregonian. The world needs The Oregonian. P.S. if you planned on calling your grandma any time soon I would do it before you watch this film

The Oregonian is a tragic telling of a woman who gets in a car wreck in the middle of nowhere and tries to find her way to help. She comes across many individuals throughout her journey that bring her down different paths and show her a certain way of life. What the movie represents is life itself and the different paths we can go down on that journey. The girl herself resembles death as she is constantly shown in a red plaid shirt and covered in blood. Several times she attempts to wipe off the blood with water, but the red blood continues to reappear on her face which could show her attempt to escape from death. The red that she is surrounded foreshadows the path she chose as death came before her. The green that often appears with the green monster thing and the green room she goes through shows the path of life that she had the option of going down. In a later scene it is shown of her in the green monsters costume beating a man with a pipe. This ensues to her being covered in blood and the mixture of the colors green and red, or the two roads of life and death. One of the last scenes where the girl is seen having an omelet shoved into her represents fertility and her lack of such quality. This idea of fertility can be brought around to one of the earlier scenes where the girl's husband gets mad at her for having an affair, which can be assumed to have been brought up to her lack of fertility. We also see the idea of infertility when the man makes eggs and leaves the cracked eggs in the toilet for the girl to see. With this being said, The Oregonian is a horrifying experience of one girl's path of life or death and the influence her infertility had on that choice.

The feature length film The Oregonian, is a film of love and hate and the eventual descent into madness. It is in my opinion that this movie actually represents something, and is not just a 2- hour nightmarish drug trip. It is in my opinion that the plot of the movie is that the main protagonist is in Hades, Hell but she does not realize it yet. Allow me to explain. In the beginning of the movie we see her steal a bottle of what I presume is vodka, off her dead/passed out husband/fiancé/. She then proceeds to drink the rest of it. The next scene we a violently transitioned into has our protagonist waking up after being in a terrible accident where she kills a father and his child. After she feebly cries for help, she sees a woman in red walk out of the woods, staring and smiling at her in the most ominous way possible. This woman is a reference to the demons that terrorize the occupants of Hell. What occurs next is even stranger, the woman in red vanishes and our protagonist continues to walk down the road and encounters an unconscious man in a frog suit with a shotgun. The girl steals the gun and continues walking down the strange road. Later in the film she comes to a small town where she finds a man in a van wearing some aviators. She hitches a ride from him to the next mystery town. The man is a reference to Charon (the ferryman of the River Styx). He then takes her to a mysterious shack where she encounters more strange men and women (demons) who terrorize her more. In later scenes, the strange men and two women are out in the middle of the desert drinking a strange mixture of gasoline and milk, maybe. While in the desert with the strange people, she sees the man in the frog suit, and after a horrific hallucination, she murders him with a lead pipe, thus concreting her presence in Hell. She has now murdered 3 times and has no chance of escaping her fate. She then is found wearing the frog suit and laughing with the strange woman in the car at the scene of her original sin, the murder of the father and boy. She meets her ultimate doom, when a strange light emits a strange noise, and then the movie ends.

In the film The Oregonian, the woman (Lindsay Pulsipher) is on a direction-less journey that seems as if the Oregonian is just wondering in some sort of abyss or in the unknown of a purgatory sort of world. Unlike other films, the plot of this one cannot be deciphered quite as easily. After the Oregonians's car wreck, she encounters different people and each has an uneasy sense in their character. The Oregonian is killed then the act of necrophilia is performed on her. The omelet man comes in and inserts a delicious looking omelet into the gash in the Oregonian's back. He then proceeds to pour gas on it, all happening while the necrophilia man is having the time of his life. This shows that after death, in others' minds the deceased is not always thought of and respected anymore, kind of like inserting something that was once good, the omelet, into your deathly wound. At the end of this scene the Oregonian's spirit is in the doorways at different moments and she laughs along with other women who randomly enter the scene. This provides a point of view that shows the spirit of the deceased are watching what others are doing, even as they are not physically living anymore. When she comes back to life she brutally clubs the necrophilia man to death in the bed of a truck while he is wearing a frog mascot costume. More events unveil in what seems to be an unorganized and random way to unravel, however this plot summary can be seen as the final destination of the Oregonian's journey in life, and the events that happen in her last moments of travel to said destination.
