WHITE NOISE Netflix Ending Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- I review, breakdown and explain the 2022 Netflix movie White Noise. I discuss the story focussed on Jack and Babette evacuating their town, with the three sections titled; waves and radiation, the airborne toxic event and Dylarama, along with the characters such as Murray, Mr Gray and many others. I also react to the ending where they're in the supermarket dancing.

What did you think of the ending of White Noise? Comment your thoughts below!
the visuals and the way it was shot as you said, made the movie incredible to watch but that's about where it ends for me. Partway through, I realized the movie was a commentary on something but it eluded me, maybe bc its (death) so normal for me, I didnt get their extremely overblown struggle with the subject and how it ties into the chemical spill.
I was hoping for more of a The Mist situation but instead got an overly philosophical deconstruction or like self cannibalism from every single face on screen about every single thing that was said by anyone. I consider myself more of an intellectual than not, but even this was too much for me. In the end, my expectations and feelings for the movie were my fault but the trailer might be partly to blame. I would watch this again with the kind of people who always carry a book, dress like academics, drink wine, and have no trouble pausing the movie to join in the barrage of philosophies. Breaking it down all night. It was new years eve, and I just wanted a fun scifi.
I kept waiting for some kind of shoe to drop, symptoms of Drivers exposure to the toxic cloud to manifest in a head trippy Color Out Of Space, Stranger things, The Void, Annihilation, or something. But it was more like Monsters 2010 (a really awesome idea wasted on a dumb romance about two people and much like the awesome black toxic cloud from White Noise, the monsters in Monsters 2010 were just a delivery device to be basically ignored in the background or used as a quick excuse to do or say this or that. WHAT ABOUT THE MONSTERS!? Where did they come from, what do they want? What really was the Toxic Cloud in White Noise?! Just a toxic cloud literally and figuratively, ohh so fancy so pretentious.
@@midnightgaming.9162 Even with academics, it's not going to help. The show tried to be smart by having "fast talking" and lots of bigger words to make it seem like what's being said is deep and introspective...but it's not. Most of it doesn't even make any sense, it's just...white noise. Maybe that's the point? But if that's the point, i dont get what bigger point that is trying to make lol.
To me it was just crap. It was a ball of self indulgence, pretentious, nonsensical ramblings of what you would find in a stoners diary.
The whole show felt as if it was building to something that it never got to. Utter crap
Practically Perfect In Every Way!
@@vynneve I’m a stoner, I think it’s brilliant. I see your point though.
How is this a comedy? This quite possibly is the dumbest movie I’ve ever seen! Didn’t even remotely laugh at this. Really disappointed.
As someone with adhd watching this movie felt like reading a book 💀
Same 😂
the book is actually fantastic, postmodernism at its finest
Was straight garbage
Yes yes yes
100% agree the first half almost started to piss me off
I literally just finished the movie and I have no fucking clue what was going on the whole time.
I'm halfway into it and I just came to see whether it'll make sense
I don’t know what the hell I watched but I can only conclude that whatever that toxic cloud was it effected everyone and made them hallucinate.
Reading through all the comments, the more I feel being idiot😅 seriously, I don’t understand the whole movie😅😅
Thhaankk you. I just did the exact same. Thought I missed something, but it is actually just a shallow movie, the aesthetics make you think it’s doing something deep
Unpopular opinion: I don’t like or get this movie. I do get it, but if you have to think THAT hard to work out what’s going on and EVERYTHING symbolizes something, it’s aggravating!
If I wanted to read a book, I’d read a book. I guess some books don’t translate into good movies. I also didn’t like the ending. It left me with a feeling that life is meaningless and there’s an emptiness we all share. I liked the supermarket ending (it represents the mundane monotony of life) but I felt it would be a better music video than a movie ending.
I also probably didn’t like it because deep down, I’m Christian (Catholic) and I do have beliefs. I’m not an atheist. No joke, an angel appeared to me in church when I was 12 years old. There’s an entire backstory to this but from then on, I never questioned the existence of God.
I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from this movie but it’s not a wonder why people call Hollywood Holly weird. Nobody has faith anymore! I guess I don’t really fear death so this movie wasn’t a revelation at all. Like someone said above…it’s a shallow movie. The IS no hidden deeper meaning.
I wanna point out that scene in the river when the station wagon was just floating. I dont really know if steering actually helped guide the car but Jack kept turning the steering wheel the whole time, in some useless attempt to get out of the river. It's an interesting way of showing how he tries to steer and control his life but the river keeps bringing him closer to the end---the inevitability of death. They were also asking him if there was a waterfall at the end of the river, to show the uncertainty of when/where death is
nice
He turns to his wife and shrugs while he's doing it. He knew it wasn't doing anything
Also the back of the car said “give a hoot don’t pollute.” As if it was some warning of climate change and the rising tides.
i also realized how once they got out the water they wind up right in line with all the other cars. i see symbolism in it because they tried to take a shortcut to “safety” but the passage led to the same destination
He also tried following someone who he believed knew “the way”. When in actuality we are all lost in the woods some of us are just up a creek sooner than others
Bro was I the only one who thought babbette came for another dose of dylar rather than to stop Jack from killing mr gray?😂
Nope. That is what I thought as well. She was all out and had to reup.
I kinda did because she was out but then she would of had her ski mask on because she never showed her face to mr gray
It might be that when jak left the conference she suspected something was wrong,i kinda think jak was acting way out of character
she was not wearing the ski mask though
I mean he did say get the ski mask
The way that nun came running in with the shopping cart 🛒 had me dying
That was SO funny 😂
Jack kept seeing Mr. gray across the whole film. He symbolized his fear of death or death itself. Don cheadles speech to jack saying to kill in order to get life credits and jack then trying to kill Mr.gray was jack still fighting against his fear of death but in the end when he asked the doctor if Mr. gray was going to live it was him accepting that it is not up to him to control life and death
Sounds like some bullshit mumbo-jumbo that you spit out trying to sound like a movie critique
That's how I seen it. I really thought I was high in the last act. Like it was trippy asf but that dude was deff supposed to be death, like when he handed him the bunny and he came out of panic back into reality
I think a smart enough person gets that bro 🤣 the movie is just not good .
Death was absolutely present in the supermarket - in the NEW butcher area. All in all I saw this movie as being less about our fear of death & more about all the 'White Noise' we surround ourselves with on a daily basis to distract us from our existential dread. Everything is theater : the professor giving the lecture, the son finding himself the center of attention at the 'safe' camp, the nuns being 'closer to god' so normal people don't have to, the ending dance scene in the market & so much more, even little nods in the set decoration. The grocery store was 'perfectly' organized where you could just follow a safe path, no worries. 3D Viewmaster on the dining table, our attempts to 'mimic' reality. Can't wait for a rewatch to pick up more of these things.
Also in the egg and dairy area. 100% death and torture.
The supermarket dancing shows how people are genuinely oblivious to everything apart from what they are doing at the moment. It's as if the subconscious takes control in times of absolute mundanity.
In this scene there is a man walking in one shot in a silver hasmat suit scanning the people dancing. He is not dancing and looks quite confused while he scans. He doesn't show up the rest of the scene and it makes me wonder what is actually going on.
I simultaneously loved and hated this movie. It has so many monologues on everything that it gives the viewer a lot to think about. Although the movie focused on death, there are some deep conversations happening about consumerism, social behaviors, and how an individual addresses their inner dialogue. There's so much to think about with this movie. My favorite scene was where J.A.K shoots Mr.Gray, after Gray took a pill, on the toilet, while Elvis plays in the background.
He also had a Hawaiian shirt on!
@@Accessizzy true! I forgot about that
And took a complete shit wipe and all
I really enjoyed it. My favorite line in the movie was "she's having outdated symptoms"
yes, this artsy movie captured society perfectly.
Mine is “jack! Every white person has a favorite Elvis song”
@@lemei1095 no it captures a very intelligent family you wouldnt understand
@@idontcare2851 keep dreaming of being in movies I'm in the industry and know Noah dream on
@@idontcare2851 keep dreaming that your a screenwriter and know about film ur just a sheep I stg I live this life I've been on multiple TV shows
I just finished watching it in the beginning I felt like I was going to be a whole different movie than what it was
Yeah same here!
in a bad way imo
Hey guys, this movie is no longer fiction alone. It’s happened just this month as of February of 2023.
Yeah predictive programming.
Homer Simpson was driving the train
Strange times we are living in
Sarah Connor is around somewhere I'm sure of it
Stay safe Gage👍
Heard it was filmed like two miles from the real incident
I would love to hear from the locals of Palestine
It's either art imitating life prematurely or it was a warning
Spot on. You noticed they lived lives in fear of death, and were assuaged by the advertisements in commercials and supermarkets. It vividly shows us we ar bombarded with brands distracting them from what is really going on, and what we really mean to each other.
The movie distracts us too, with the professors professing over top of each other, while no one seems to notice Jack leave, then reenter through a window.
The chaos around them isn't enough to break through their own isolated fears, until facing death, they are able to overcome together and start again.
Editor: So what dialogue should we leave in?
Director: yes
Best comment! I 😂
It didn't click for me. It felt like a movie that always getting ready to address a bigger point but there really wasn't one. It's a movie about coping with the fear of death. Death of career, death of family, death of marriage, death of identity. I'm sure most people will enjoy it but I felt like it could have been a lot more than what the writers allowed it to be.
Exactly
Agreed, it was crap.
It felt like it thought it was a whole lot more meaningful than it really was. It's a movie that assumes you haven't grasped what it's point is until the end, but you actually get it pretty quick and then for the rest of the movie it justs beating a dead horse.
Jeezuz People! Does everything have to be over-processed Hollywood junk food and spoon-fed to your feeble underdeveloped minds??
Wtf was this movie ?! Legit had 0 idea what was going on 99% of the time
This movie felt like 2 stories in one goes from deadly toxic waste and then his wife cheating on him over some goddamn drugs
I swear to God I didn't understand a single sentence in this film
Shit came to real life one month later
i feel like the fear of death has been on the public consciousness a lot more lately. I've been thinking about it a lot and so have many people i know. i don't know if this is a sub conscious consequence of the mass hysteria caused by COVID or the availability of information about illnesses and health online but its definitely a paralyzing fear if you let it get to you too much and this movie does a good job of depicting that. the bit that stood out in the movie for me is when the son keeps harping on about all the different symptoms that the cloud caused, it reminds me of myself googling symptoms whenever i don't feel right and convincing myself into believing i have some undiagnosed terminal illness. which i have done many times.
They even mention “power of suggestion” at one point in the movie. Which seems like what they’re doing in the media now
This movie was really interesting! I just finished watching it this morning and I love how psychological it was. Using concepts of time, death, light and darkness to showcase the inevitability of the cycle of life. I really enjoyed the atmosphere created by the different filming techniques, the 70s styled set was beautiful.
I watched it during the last few hours of 2022, wishing I had chosen a different film.
Same here
Same!! It's such dumb movie cuz they just speak in riddles and go around and around a speech.
@@barbi3499 nah you just didn't understand it
@@hebjdhdhdbbshshshshs9119 trust me, we understand it. Understand how basic it is, as a story. And it left soo many lose ends. None of the childrens arcs were complete. Nor did Bebete actually improve as a person. The story was kept shallow
@@BenjayyK i think the point is that it is not so focus on the characters itself but rather the issues it tackles as a whole, that's probably why there were 'loose ends' or unfinished storylines with the kids and parents. i enjoyed the movie bc i saw it in that way but i get what u mean.
It’s kind of like a pretentious performance art piece, one where someone is taking a crap on stage and you keep watching because you can’t look away and you keep hoping that there is a point, all the while hating the whole experience.
You put it into words perfectly
Yea, I stopped watching after like 20m…I just couldnt
This perfectly describes it.
Fr
This became ah Reality now predictive programming crazy
the movie plays up the expectation of a zombie apocalypse, but it looks like it's already happened. perhaps the message is that fear makes zombies and allows you to take control of the crowd through this fear. in the movie, it's a placebo dealer, but what if it turns out to be a bad man with crazy ideas who takes control of an entire nation.
Sounds a bit more like COVID and modern society than a zombie apocalypse
Nice take
There's symbolic gestures in the form of circles throughout the whole movie which relate to what you said at the beginning. The characters come full circle. I thought this was a nice touch.
I had a strange feeling while watching this. It was somewhere betwixt de javu and remembering a book I once read. I know I haven’t read this. The dialogue was written in such a way that it kept us guessing as to what was off. Something was off but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Important.
Well it just happened real life, I believe you have clairvoyance
Well it is an absurdist and surreal film, which give a sense that things are off.
This SAME EVENT JUST HAPPENED IN OHIO
Bro this movie was a feverish dream trying to make sense of it
It's an experience that's for sure!
Breaking down the Movie being shown to the students you can find many connections. They also threw in Trump Tower being exploded. The scene where the semi truck hits the helicopter and explodes shows STS trucking on the truck. Based in Sandusky OH. where another train wreck happened back in October and is still a mess. ROSWELL trucking on another truck is seen, based in VA. 23223 zip code.
The license plate on the semi that hits the train links to a Government document about Goldman Sachs. The scene of AMOS's BBQ exploding in Ball Ground GA.30107. 3010 on the train.
The train crash was a real train staged in Sandersville RR Ga. practice run ?
The armored truck Division of IMOC scene (with 3ed Reich Nazi eagle) is from the movie Armed and Dangerous 1986 about a Toxic Dump.
Just to mention a few.
I liked how in the end they showed us the prices of everything in that time and it just made me think how crazy everything is priced now. 😮
Genuinely confused by the pacing and the tone. It's surrealism. Those super market scenes are amazing works of art. The dialogue sounds rhythmic. Then I noticed the voice over the store speaker said sorry, lucky charms and then in the shopping cart is a box of lucky charms and it happens again later in the movie. Toying with your audio to visual connection. What an interestingly made film.
Yeah, interesting is probably the best word to describe it
Rapid fire dialog.
i think I’m just too stupid or uncultured or something to get this movie. i understood the messages about information spreading and death, but it felt like there was so many random scenes and the movie moved so absolutely fast that i didn’t even know the name of any of the kids besides Denise and Wilder. i was trying to find more enjoyment throight but it didn’t feel profound or deep or really anything to me, it just felt a bit overwhelming and i was lost, i could barely even hear dialogue half the time with the accents, the murmuring, and the overlaying conversations, which i thought would’ve been cool if not for the characters being so strange that Id pick up on only the most confusing strings of responses in the movie. i thought the chaos was interesting and the settings were appealing to my eyes but, that’s really it for me. maybe the book is better tho, i don’t really ever seem to enjoy when movies try to condense a complex book into 2 hours.
@@18Hands I’m glad I’m not the only one. i won’t try and pretend I’m an expert on movies, but i don’t avoid movies with unique messages or narrative structures and all that, in fact i think they can be some of my favorite movies when they innovate. this just felt like a mess and a little pretentious?
the last time i felt this way from a movie was in Im Thinking of Ending Things, another movie i see a lot of people hold dearly. maybe i need to watch it again but i really did not enjoy it.
@@GravityBouncer Don't watch it again. You didn't miss anything. It is a basic theme. People are influenced by things and sometimes they don't know how to handle it. The thing in this movie was death and other small agendas. I think I have vented my frustrations about how crap this movie was on this channel enough.
Even Babette couldn't get the kids names right, I wouldn't worry too much about them.
@@JustinBarth37 It does have very simple themes at the core of it, and I'm not saying you're wrong to hate the move at all.
That said, I feel that maybe what got in your way the most with this movie was expecting it to be something it wasn't, for it to build on its X axis before its Y. Instead it just dug downwards the entire time.
Its definitely not my favourite film, and it didn't help me that I went through the stages if grief when I realised I was wrong in thinking it was going to be some alt history psychological thriller.
I started to enjoy it more when I let go, and realised it was just communicating something simple in a bizarre and dream like way.
Maybe it's not for you, and that's cool too. We can't all find value in the same things.
the same happened in 2023...a train in Ohio
It's a well-shot, well-acted project. I finished it. Now, keep it away from me. The overall point or core message didn't come across. I didn't like that.
Well said, same here
One of the most hilariously random and off beat movies I've seen in a while.
Totally agree! It was something different for sure!
You should check out “sorry to bother you”; I believe its an A24 film but it has a wild turn of events. “Everything, Everywere All At Once” is another one
Sorry to bother you was awesome
It was more random than funny to me.
I'm convinced that anyone who claims they liked this movie or found it "deep" is just trying to sound smart by acting like they understood any of that pseudo-intellectual gibberish.
bro it’s just a movie and people can enjoy it. chill out and maybe try and enjoy stuff more, your life will be better for it
I found it very goofy and weird and that's because the photography, dialogue, setting(weird studies) and acting is that way. But if you look at the theme of the film or the bigger picture it's about overcoming fear and accepting that death is part of life. Now that I'm done watching the movie I feel more alive and appreciate everything I have
@@hebjdhdhdbbshshshshs9119 hey Leif I found one
It’s cause a lot of the knowledge and intelligence is almost ignorant and meaningless and not as important and life changing as you would think.. Its a satire on education and society.
It serves a stern purpose and it’s meant to make you feel confused and dumb even tho once you understand it, it only gives you so much and gets you so far. Similar to the movie itself.
It makes you realize something.
We all focus on shit like that, that only gets us so far, just to distract ourselves… similar to the grocery store. When we focus on love, knowledge, food and survival we no longer are focused on death but life instead.
When the chemical quarantine happens, it feels like the actual movie advertised starts and the characters suddenly become more human and normal when theyre forced to focus only on family, survival and love. They still use alot of pretentious dialogue and “knowledge” throughout the movie but this just proves even more how this so called “knowledge and intelligence ” only gets the characters so far.
I also have a theory that Jack and Baba actually died at the end and that’s why the hospital with nuns looks so surreal and dream like. They could have easily gone back to their normal lives never knowing they’re dead. Hence why the movie ends the way it began and why they had that weird ass ending in the grocery store haha. It almost symbolizes purgatory and the entrance and exit is deaths door. Remember what don cheadle said?
It’s supposed to be intellectual gibberish. You understood half of the movie, now you gotta think further and wonder why they would do that? It’s supposed to be meaningless. It’s supposed to represent how people distract themselves on a daily basis by focusing on unimportant shit that they treat as important
I was really enjoying the movie until the cloud just stopped being about the plot. I know it’s based off the novel but I wish it kept moving towards surving the cloud and figuring out a way to cure the symptoms the cloud spreaded
But the cloud ended up not being that bad and it shifted more towards people becoming oblivious and following the sheep mentality. Reminds me of real life with a certain pandemic
Yeah me too. Part one and two were really funny and goofy and part three about the dylarama got really dark and tense. I know the film was fear, anxiety and death and that the three parts are connected in that global theme but to me there was a big split in the movie because the tone was set so different. What happened to Babette is just awful but I'm so glad I watched till the end because it ended on a somewhat happy note thankfully. Great movie and now I'm intrigued to read the book.
Also great acting by everyone and Greta Gerwig is so attractive with the 80s curly hair. Wish that hairstyle would make a comeback
Now 15 minutes later I wanna add that while part three was more different and more thrilling. I'm glad it's in the film because you just kinda have that sorta stuff to enjoy the ending more or the rest of the film.
@@hebjdhdhdbbshshshshs9119 Are you joking?.. what happened to Jack is awful not Babette
@@rowanmelton7643yeah that's what i meant, just the whole situation
Productive programming. It’s no coincidence that this movie came out a year before all the toxic chemical accidents and happened to be filmed at one of the locations
Does anyone have any theories about near the end where Babette was seen floating above mr gray and then becoming one with him? The only thing I could think of was a callback to when Babatte was confessing to her husband and mentioning the other participants becoming one but that’s where it ends for me. Maybe something about that creepy scene of the flashback with babatte in the motel room and mr gray taking off part of her face. I assume it’s just meant to be open ended but it’s the most interesting plot point to me.
I think its a call back to the wording she did not like about entering or being inside someone. So maybe when Jack visualised Babette entering Gray, it was him seeing them becoming one, he sees it as more than just a transaction more than just intercourse, which is why Babette doesn’t like the phrase as to her it was merely a transaction to get more of the drug and nothing more. Though of course this all my own opinion and it might be something else.
i think it was about the like ‘being entered or entering someone’ how baba always hated that but jack maybe imagined it as that or something it could also be about the line ‘i felt outside of myself’ which jack uses after his dream sequence this Mr.Gray and is also used for when baba tells him about it and how she felt outside of herself as in it almost wasn’t her own action and that maybe baba wasn’t herself she was acting as Mr.Gray directed her or as it’s shown her being inside him or whatever but that ones a bit of a jump
It’s showing how fucked up your imagination can be. She didn’t give any details but the TV. So the rest was left up to imagination of Jak
This movie made me a huge Adam Driver fan. I've seen him in other things before, aside from girls, and although he wasn't the main character, you could see he had main character chops. This movie brought that out and showed how versatile an actor he really is. I thought he was going to end up cast typed in only certain kinds of genres, but the last few yrs he's branched out and it absolutely worked. Great movie and excellent acting from everyone. Def worth the watch.
Explain how it happen in real
Life?
So Mr Gray was at the shelter just like everyone else? Is that coincidental? He was the one that handed Jack the rabbit.
The end scene captivated me; I'm struggling to get all the details because so many were on full display. I would love a video that would break down all the miscellaneous easter eggs of what different things eluded to. Like in the end credits during the dance sequence; you have the marketplace and what it represents; a colorful consumerist paradise / the distraction from imminent death along with complexities of life, but there is a scene where there are only white goods on shelves, very little color showing as well; were the only people dancing are the professors and scientists. Is it because to practice a field revolving around the nature of the universe and facts of reality, you'd have to accept life and most of its hardships, but still have some forms of escapism? and if that's the case; what does it mean for the daughter who took something from the shelf to add to her cart full of colorful goods? I could be looking too much into it but scenes like that had me thinking and I want deep dives on all the crazy interesting stuff
I’ll make a video.
This is where LSD helps tremendously! You are able to see the depth and normally unnoticeable actions of the crowd. From the seemingly forwarded and reversed flows. The constant pushing, pulling, lifting, and worshipping. The roles of different people guiding through life without a care, to those focused with a fevered course of judgment, and obsession.
This film, above all others, felt like a true LSD experience. From inner dialog, to the complete shift in time and time perception.
It immediately became one of my favorite films... it was an eerily submersive experience.
Even the people "dancing" were used as a distraction from allowing the viewer to read the credits.
That’s a very astute observation! I think the daughter adding one colorless item to her cart symbolizes her coming of age and growing up, so to speak. She’s getting a glimpse of what’s behind the curtain while all the scientists are aware of everything behind the curtain.
Consumerism i.e. “new, exciting, bigger and better, etc.” and everything bought…it all means nothing. It’s not what’s really important in life but our society is built around it. We do need food and basic necessities to survive but when you take everything for granted and have everything at your fingertips, consumerism is a meaningless distraction for the monotony of life.
I loved the Elvis Presley reference
My first job was at the A&P in 1986! This was cool movie. Adam Driver was great and still cute in the movie
The A&P credit roll was amazing.
Definitely was, I was waiting for it to stop and it never did!
Great acting but hard to follow
The entire movie is an example of the extremes our brain goes through to COPE with the inevitability of death. Do or think anything to keep with the lie that life has a point.
White noise its like a nightmare you have when you have coronavirus and a very severe fever.
That's what I thought.
I thought they were on something while making it
@@the_tbhcreature They must have been
Thank you! I couldn't for the life of me put a finger on the elusive point this movie was trying to make although it felt like it was only a simple thing within easy reach. Apparently not lol. When you hit all the nails in the heads, it was like that scene with the light coming through the nunnery's windows-illuminating and progressively so as the video played on. I tip my hat to you, good sir.
Thanks a lot! Glad the video helped
I watched this movie last night. It was definitely a unique cinematic experiences. I enjoyed it. Great explanation and expounding!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well, here we are.
This might’ve been one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen

Why do you say that

@@colemanhubert6151 funny enough if you felt this was a waste of time try watching The Dead Don’t Die, it stars Adam Driver as-well and man it’s crazy to think something as slow, boring, and full of nothing such as this can’t be topped but until you give that movie a try it makes this film look good.
That's funny because the supermarket is full of things killing you slowly. The irony.
I was just happy to see Andre 3000 in it
Good for you but I didn't even notice
What was he in like 4 and a half total film time. I'm not understanding what the point was of his appearance. I guess bc I love Outkast and Andre Ben, I jus wanted him to have a bigger role. And the cookies dance at the end when they were all in Grocery Store Hell, Andre just looks plain silly. 🥱🤷🏾♀️.
the dude at the end dancing with his cookies is a vibe 😂😂😂😂
It’s definitely a thought provoking movie and can even kind of makes it’s way to discuss Covid & the lack of trust in the government with the other half (older generation) trusting without question to avoid really going in further discussion of the virus and etc
3:15 (kids wearing red and green colored glasses in background)
there’s a lot of red and green that pops up throughout the movie, more distinctly that girl with the clear green tennis hat wears it until the ending at the grocery store where she changes it to red.
i’m not totally sure on this research but we know they’re christmas colors and the green is supposed to be like living through eternity and red is something along the same lines.
there was a holly flower that was red and green which is what inspired christmas colors: “red- and green-colored holly plants for being evergreen, and they believed holly was meant to keep the earth beautiful during the dead of winter”
the husband is a idiot for not divorcing
Yeah she slept with Mr Gray several times. Pretty much when she needed a freaking refill.
I’ve never read the book. After watching the movie, I thought the overarching theme was faith. Of course fear (and more specifically fear of death) causes us to want answers to cope with our fears. We, as a species, gladly choose to be ignorant if we can avoid fear. We also listen to authority, often times blindly, and are arrogant in what we think we know. We often think our parents know everything but they are just pretending. Just like everyone pretends that they’ve figured it all out. If the movie was seeking to satirize this notion of blind faith, I thought it did it brilliantly.
Agreed, religion and the dogma that goes with it, pacifies fear of death.
Meanwhile in Ohio
This film mimicked an LSD trip to perfection!!! It's been many a years since I took Acid, but this film brought me into that feeling.
Love how people are saying their ADHD made this unwatchable while with my ADHD, this is one of the first movies in month that kept my attention (alongside EEAAO). A beautiful movie where trying to make sense of it takes away from the experience. Dialogue was great, the bizareness on point to leave you feeling hollow. A new fav for sure!
Bizarre in the truest, most original sense, which is almost reality
I managed to watch most of it but then in the last half an hour I just skipped to the end and didn't finish the end, then came here to look it up and also the similarity between the movie and what is happening in Ohio right now.
Lol it was painful to watch
Exactly, having ADHD this felt like home and almost therapeutic… I love movies like that, the way non-ADHD usually hate and find confusing is usually the kind of movie that grabs my attention.
Loved the random dialogues that to me made sense…
EEAAO since you mentioned, was also another movie I recently watched and enjoyed quite a bit.
My wife took a nap in both movies, maybe it was too much for her (she’s not ADHD)
In the third quarter of the movie we see Adam driver unleashing Kylo Ren
(He was kylo’s actor)
This movie reminded me of Bo Burnham's - That Funny Feeling. That feeling of existential dread. Very stoned... It was a lot.
My only takeaway from this movie is that Adam Driver should play Snape, but I already kind of knew that from some SNL sketches.
That would be interesting to see!
Adam Driver gained weight after filming "65" (2020) to reach expectations for "White Noise" (2021). The movie "65" started filming in 2020 and finished in January 2021 with a release date in 2023, 2 years in delay. Interesting.
At the end of this movie I was like wtf did I just watch. Totally lost but alot of hidden messages I could relate to.
I can not! Turned it off after 20 mins just cant capture my attention! So boring and giving me a horrible reaction to the boringness of it all OMG! I feel drained. Lol
It’s one of those movies that I feel you’ll either love or hate!
I just saw the movie... plus your video it made it more enjoyable... 😉👍
Glad to hear that!
@@BrainPilot thank for your videos 😊
One thing I will give this movie that's gone unsaid, is that the sleep paralysis scene was very accurate to me, and it seemed immediately distinctly sleep paralysis from the get go, as opposed to the nightmare that came later.
Unless I'm projecting, idk. It worked for me though
That’s a good thought!
Best part of the movie for me was the moment it ended. I get all the psychological symbolism but still movie sucked ass 😂
Did anyone else think that the sun glasses were a reference to Jim Jones?
Definitely.
This is a very decent impartial review of what White Noise is about.
The ending of White Noise is something that I believe is quite complex and inextricably linked to the nature of humankind. To me, it spoke of the following eternal questions; what is life? what is death? what is purgatory? where is the perfect moment in time and perfect place in existence which can be considered heaven?
The transumtation of reality, virtuality, life, afterlife, fear and fearlessness are ephocal of concepts explored in the Lurianic Kabbalah
also, I believe that the supermarket scene 3:26 is a nod to photographer Andreas Gursky. Can't stop thinking about it!
Best part of the the movie for me is that it got my wife to start to understand and enjoy LCD Soundsystem. Amazing band-check out the song how do you sleep? If you want to go for a nice 10 minute ear drive
This is a movie you could watch times over and take out a realization that pertains to your life or self and place your learning onto how you treat yourself and others. Ok. Do unto to others as you’d expect to be treated. Respect life as it is fleeting and you only get one shot at it.
That wasn’t the ending , the last scene in the grocery was.
Wrong
Its a Retro take on all the different stages we went through during Covid.
Seeing ourselves through the lense of a 80s family going through the same but different situation.
(All while making fun of how modern people think and communicate in life and through social media)
Explain
Wrong.
This is based on a book. Written in 1985. Don’t be dumb lil bud
@Shitty Solver when it all starts the radio kept changing what the symptoms were. Everyone ignored it till it was right outside their door, then they panicked. The family didn't know what to do. So they listened to the radio and did what everybody else did. Later they stopped doing what everyone else did and followed the guys in the jeep (hard-core anti lock down guys) then they get stuck in the river the car spun right then left and they got out on the left and got back in line with everyone else. The unproven pills the wife was taking because she was scared of dying. The guy in the motel selling the miracle pills represents a sick person who spreads the sickness. They both get shot (sick) from him and all 3 go to the hospital. The couple get treated on beds.( because they have insurance) The worse off guy goes in a grocery cart(no insurance). The nun nurse who doesn't believe in God is like the nurses who didn't believe in vaccines. Then when it's all over, everything's back to normal and they dance in the store. (dancing tiktok videos in public like nothing happened)
@@sethskullsberg7787damn that makes so much sense i knew it was something to do with covid
At one point every one was wearing a mask. They even acknowledged the fact that everyone stopped wearing they mask. I literally thought it had some to do with Covid. I agree with this take
Gave me the same feeling when watching Synecdoche, New York.
I really liked the first 2 acts of the movie, it felt like it was building up to something, but then act 3 just throws a hard reset on us. I feel like it set itself up to make a point about panic, crowd mentally, misinformation in the modern age, but it ended up spiraling into nonsense. Oh and it seems to have attracted the covid deniers...
Fun fact: check the newest comments to know what people truly say about the movie.
That's exactly what I'm doing right now.
I wonder why Andre 3000 was holding a white box with cookies on it . Near his private part area. What was the symbolism of that ?
It seems that i will need to read the book, because the movie gave me the idea that there is more than what is says. I felt like they were talking and i was supposed to figure the meaning out of their words.
Movie is speaking on a languague that we dont speak. Therefore we are confused.
That all what i have to say: is giving us a message, could be about live, death, fear, or anything else.
Is this couple embodying the political dichotomy in America ?
I thought about some analysis about shining. And it feels similar in the way it uses colour to reflect a discourse or a role in society.
I don't know if I loved it but I know I will watch it again.
The movie definitely has a nod at Star Wars in which Adam driver played Kylo ren - from the newspaper article having the words “Death Star” - the colour red of the motel which is a reference to the Sith and light saber - to the point his character changes to a dark side character when he shoots mink - the other factor is in Star Wars death is overcome when those with the force stay alive as ghosts - whereas thus movie is a preoccupation of death as the end - Star Wars was a big movie in the 80s which is the time set of the movie - I’m not saying it’s a overarching factor but a few Easter eggs and nods were laid out
Movie was good, but the best part of the movie was the end with everyone dancing to LCD Soundsystems' song New Body Rhumba !!
15 years left, and the ending doesn't need interpretation. It's straight forward. She knew he'd be there because, "Men are killers". 1 nightmare. How are you getting this 'rimers of eldritch' and tennese williams style soooooo wrong? No doctor told him his time, it was an unprepared end of the world prepper.
Came here to see how this explanation reflects against the true events that ultimately transpired
They started to face reality that they were getting older and getting closer and closer to death.
Babette seen "Panasonic" in Jacks mind, but the hotel sign said "RCA"... lol.
It's in their clock.
lol i was convinced they were aliens experiencing earth for the first time
Its real
Anyone else feel like they just pissed away 2 hours of their life?
Definitely a movie you need to watch more than once
Yeah i'd agree with that!
did anyone else think this was going to be an alien movie??? 😭
I did when they started leaving the town!
One of the best films I've seen in recent years. Also love that it's shot on film, just feels so more real.
White noise: "You can't hear it if it's everywhere."
It's everywhere. Death, in this movie, is everything, everywhere, the entire time.
Shooting on film made it feel like a movie
