In the end of the movie, when the bridge collapses, what does that have to do with the mothman? I saw the movie multiple times and i am still dumbfounded.......

There are some people who think it was the Mothman's fault. I belive in the Mothman, but I think it was just coincidence.

Some people believe that the mothman was warning of danger instead of actually causing it.

If you ever have read the book... om not sure who it was. I think the author gets a phone call from one of the mysterious callers he talked about throughout his book and tells him of the bridge collapsing and the exact day and time...im not sure of that part. I think the mothman was just a coincidental phenomenon

depending on your point of view but the whole thing about the bridge collapsing was forseen by the mothman who tried to warn people. But in th ebook (i think) and on a documentary it is mentioned that several eyewitnesses saw a mothman like creature on the bridge several days before the event. this isnt shown in the movie. So some suggest the mothman actually planned the whoole thing. i think the movie is showing more about concidence and stuff. if you want to go deeper into it the richard gere charcater is there to save the life of the police woman who had a dream about herself dying. SO if richards characters wife had never had died, if his car never had broken down, If he never went to thed oor of a couple who accuse him of stalking, if he never met everyone or if he had never doen the things he does in the movie then he would have never saved that ladies life.
Mothman is about concidence and connection its about the supernatural and spirit worlds and everything else in between. Whether you believe in the mothman or in concidence or in richard geres acting skills i think the movie is still pretty good

I thought the Mothman Prophecies was a great movie. Maybe I'm nieve but I thought it made the mothman more of an anomoly. A creation from long ago that exists but does not have to necessarily interact with us. I think they exist and from historical accounts they could appear to witness a disaster. Two quotes from the movie sum it all up for me:


Alexander Leek: If there was a car crash ten blocks from here, that window washer would probably see it. Now, that doesn't mean he's God, or even smarter than we are, but from where he's sitting, he can see a little farther down the road.

John Klein: I think we can assume that these entities are more advanced than us. Why don't they just come right out and tell us what's on their minds?
Alexander Leek: You're more advanced than a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them?

i love that line

ahhhh... i understand now!!!!

thast good i hope we all helped

I agree, it is one of my favourite quotes!

I agree

Most people saw it too superficially >> creature comes, sh** happens, people die = horror.
I saw it as something a lot bigger, to do with "coincidence", connections, fate... From the moment the leading character's wife sees the mothman-like appearances to the finale with the bridge.
I like the movie better than the book actually, in this case I find the book is much more the 'sensation seeker', as I saw the movie as much more open for personal interpretation, and the inexplicable.

I really like how they did that
