That does make sense, but several times people look at someone with the glosses over eyes and become affected. Like the guy in the grocery store.

t's perfectly consistent.

People who kill themselves are basically good. People who turn evil have some inherent evil in them.

And 100% of the people who turn evil are white. Just like the literal Trump slogan-spouting old white guy who wanted to turn away the people who eventually killed most of them, but was repeatedly told that he sucked and to frick off.

No, I don't see much grey there.

I didn’t find it political at all. We watched it a few days ago and I thought it was solid. I actually expected to hate it based on what I had read about it but I came away thinking it was pretty good. I was thinking we wouldn’t see the creatures at all but we kinda did see them via that crazy dude’s drawings.

Also heard the ending was awful but I found it relatively fitting and believable.

I’d recommend it.

The worst part to me was that most people who saw 'them' killed themselves immediately, but others that saw them, lived and tried to kill others. We got no explanation for that (or much else really). It really cheapened the overall premise which was cool.

The Bird Box was absolute boring trash. I want my two hours back.

The star adopted two black kids, after leaving a guy some accused of having nazis sympathy. I'm not the one over analyzing it, just that in today's world there are odd pairings and issues.

The cop and mgk existed only to steal the car.

The insane didn't kill them selves. Charlie explains the dock worker wasn't right.
The guy from Dark Knight has never played a sane person ever.
I took it as the insane were affected differently.
I couldn't say why it made them want to get others to join them.

Apparently the mentally ill became pawns of the creatures to get others to “see” which of course would bring about their demise which was the ultimate intention of the creatures.

I think I know why King was riveted by this movie.

It's really a King-level TV movie...think Langoliers or Storm of the Century.

Nothing that cinematic about it...but a bunch of characters bitching at each other in a small room - which works on paper but not on screen.

I'm sure the book was great or something, they say it was a best-seller...but that doesn't translate to visual art.

Me too. I watched this again a few days ago. I'm embarrassed that I originally gave it a better grade than a Quiet Place. It's an ok movie and that's it. Nothing more nothing less.

2 things:

No way they make it to the supermarket solely using that old-arse looking GPS. They would have crashed before they made a block.

No way they could run through the forest blindfolded without running into trees, falling into a hole or any number of accidents.


All that aside...fun movie.

I noticed this, too. I also noticed that the "compound" they reached was basically all women and children, a handful of men, and magically everything they needed to support a population in the middle of the forest was there.

I guess the men could have been out hunting with blindfolds on, or growing crops, and in general building a civilization.

The impression it gave was this fatherless, feminist "utopia" where people are lounging about and food and shite just appears out of nowhere. (i.e. the modern welfare state)

Sounds like it’s a bigger rip off of Harry Potter than A Quiet Place
