After John Carpenter leaves a suggestion regarding the end, a fan may have solved the mystery of who is the thing

After 43 years of fans’ theories, debates and close, it seems the mystery to the center of John CarpenterHorror movies of classical science fiction Thing Finally, it could be resolved, or at least given a serious push in the right direction.

During a recent 4K projection to David Geffen Theater, Carpenter hinted that a certain scene in the half of the film gives who was really taken up … Kurt RussellRJ Macready o Keith DavidChilds.

It was enough to postpone the fans in frozen depths Thingcombing the details. One of them named Joe Russo led to X with what he believes he is the clue: “I think I found that suggestion”.

We rewind for a second. At the beginning of the film, the crew discovers that this can replicate life on a cellular level. Based on this, Macready warns that nobody should eat or drink something they haven’t prepared personally.

It looks like a solid advice. But in the last moments of the film, Macready Hands Childs a bottle of liqueurs and Childs takes a sip. According to Russo, this is the Tell.

“As soon as the children drink from the bottle, it won. He beat his more skeptical and final threat.”

That moment, together with Macready’s last line, “Why don’t we wait for only here for a while, see what happens?”, He feels more disturbing when you think about that light. Russo also suggests that we may have seen “a better imitation killing a more little imitation because he had more possibilities to infiltrate the society at rescue”.

Of course, not everyone acquires it. A fan underlined the entire theory of “no breath from the girl”, supporting his lack of visible breath means that he was already shot. Another contrasted with the fact that we lose the trace of children during a critical time window before the ending.

But Russo was ready with an answer: “Carpenter said that both actors don’t know it … children have always been a red aringa for me”.

Whether Russo is right or not, there is a logic behind the theory and it is always fun to go back and speak.

Thing The director of photography Dean Cundey previously had offered some comments on the scene in the release of Blu-ray for the film, and shares what he believes is a clue on who is human and who was detected:

“So we were looking for a kind of subtle way, to say which of these [men] It could be human. You will notice that there is always a light for the eyes, we call it, a little glow in the actor’s eye. Gives life. “That Eye Light” is presumably a story, since Macready and Childs survivors are waiting to see what is before the credits “.

However, Carpenter replied to this statement, saying: “He has no idea. Yes, I know. I know who is the thing and who is not in the end. He has no idea. He puts the lights. He puts in the snow. He has no idea.”

When he was asked if he wanted Cundey he really knew what he thinks, Carpenter added mischievous: “You tell him. Tell him that he is full of shit”.

So what do you think? Is the final drink the key?
