So, we watched the movie Caddo Lake over the weekend. It was filmed up in here the Shreveport area, and northeast Texas. It was produced by M Night Shyamalan, and it is one of his better works of late. It starts off fairly slowly as a typical "missing girl" movie, but about halfway through, it turns into something very different (although there is a tv series out there that I've heard is similar).
The plost revolves around two characters, more or less. One is a teenager named Ellie who is constantly arguing with her mother. Ellie goes to stay with a friend of hers, and her 8 year old sister, Anna, sneaks out of the house to go be with her sister. Anna disappears, apparently somewhere on the lake. The other character is a man named Paris, who was in a car with his mother when she had a seizure, and drove off of a bridge over the lake. Paris is able to escape the car, but his mother drowns. He is convinced that her seizure was abnormal, and that she was misdiagnosed, but everyone around him is convinced that is simply his way of grieving with the loss. The rest of the film works through Paris trying to understand what happened to his mother, and Ellie and her family trying to locate Anna. Eventually, Paris' story and Ellie's story meet up in an unexpected fashion.
After the film was over, my wife and I spent a significant amount of time discussing what had happened, and even had to get online and read through some reviews to put together how all of the pieces work together. It broke my brain in the best way possible.
