Rosemary’s Baby
The year is 1965 and a young couple is apartment shopping in New York City. Guy Woodhouse (the husband) is a struggling actor. The fact that Guy is a struggling actor later becomes a big theme in the movie. He is very obsessed with his work, often neglecting Rosemary. He desperately wants fame and fortune. His wife, Rosemary, is a homemaker. She is the innocence of the movie. She embodies the perfect example of a wife and mother. They take a tour of a large beautiful apartment building located in the center of the city. The city represents the modernness of the young couple and how young and vibrant they are. The apartment is for rent because the elderly woman that lived there died. During the tour the agent, Guy, and Rosemary notice peculiar things about the apartment. All her personal belongings, mainly plants and old writings, are still in there. The real state agent comes across a large dresser that seemed to be moved in front of a closet door. Guy and the agent move the dresser. They opened it and found only towels and a vacuum cleaner. All through the movie the closet is somewhat focused on. After the tour the couple is walking to a friend’s house and discussing the apartment. Rosemary is very enthu
The next day Minnie comes over to visit with Rosemary. She constantly asks the prices for her furniture and if she’s planning to have children. She invites the couple over for dinner. Rosemary is annoyed by the old lady and doesn’t want to go, but agrees to anyway. Guy comes home with bad news about another actor getting a role he was up for. When she tells Guy about the dinner invitation he also does not want to go but ultimately decides to go. At dinner the couples talk about religion, the pope, and Guys acting career. At the end of dinner Minnie brings out a cake for dessert. Guy devours it, and eats an extra slice. The concept of food is very important throughout the film. Minnie is always cooking, but they’re mainly desserts. While Rosemary and Minnie are washing up, Guy and Roman are in the living room talking. Rosemary is ready to leave but Guy seems to be very interested with Romans stories. When they get home Guy tells Rosemary he is going to visit Roman to hear more of his stories. She makes a comment about the Castevets walls and how they took down paintings. She noticed empty spaces and a peculiar painting that didn’t fit where it was put. Rosemary becomes hysterical and tries to run away. She only seems hysterical because what she says about the Castevets and Guy is true. She confides in a doctor who betrays her at the end by telling Guy where she is. Guy and the Castevets doctor pick up Rosemary and take her to the apartment building. She gives birth to a son in her bedroom. They tell her the baby is dead. She eventually finds out that the Castevets have the baby in the other room. She escapes and enters the Castevets apartment through the closet. There are people all over the apartment. A black cradle is in the center of the room. Rosemary goes up to the child and screams, “What did you do to my son? What’s wrong with his eyes?” Roman confesses that the devil chose Rosemary to be the mother of his son. He tells her to raise the child. Rosemary gets up and starts to rock the cradle lovingly looking at the baby. siastic and wants to buy it. Guy is more hesitant, but agrees to buy it to make her happy. They arrive at their friend’s house. His name is Hutch and is about 65 years old. During dinner he tells the couple all about the apartment complex’s history with evil and witches. His first story is about a man that was accused of being a witch and holding satanic rituals in his apartment. Then he tells a story about a pair of sisters who cut and ate eight children in one of the apartments. Guy and Rosemary pass the stories off as just superstitious tales. In the morning Rosemary wakes up with scratches all over the side of her body. Guy confesses to scratching her while having sex the night before while she was unconscious. She vaguely remembers her dream. The only thing she can remember is being raped by something not human. A couple of days later Rosemary finds out she is pregnant. Guy forces her to go to the doctor the Castevets recommend. At the beginning of her pregnancy Rosemary looks awful. She loses a lot of weight and becomes very pale. Her
