Isn't it ironic that we're obsessed with figuring out the end of the movie, just as Rose in the film was obsessed with figuring out the end of Friends, yet missing the crux of the matter? It's amazing that no one has noticed it so far. The directors did a good job. The end of the movie is ultimately a mirror of our reality.
Spot on. Rose cares more about two fictional Characters rather then the main people in her life. Witch like you have stated is the case today. People care more about celebrities then each other.
Nope not ironic at all. To leave a frightened woman stranded on the roadside? WTF It was a cyber attack. It was civil war. It was a coup d'etat. It was a microwave weapon. C'mon..... The world is collapsing around the characters and they sit around drinking wine and listening to music while their children roam around unsupervised. The son's teeth are falling out, so let's throw pills at the problem and see what works. The stand-off on the porch was predictable and ridiculous. The handyman would have shot them both, AND if he was a believable "prepper," he wouldn't have traded medications for paper money that is essentially worthless in their scenario. Who would see the need to bomb the city? Without food, water, and electricity the city would destroy itself. Soooo many problems and plot holes. The girl got to watch her ending? Yeah, so? If this is truly a commentary on today's society, bring on the end...
It’s almost like it’s a movie and people want to be rewarded for spending 2 hours of their time watching it. Movies are supposed to have endings, not be a statement piece
Rose states, “No one ever listens to me.” She pointed out the ship getting closer, and then she is leading the line of the family running for their lives. Furthermore, she is the first to see the cluster of deer and is dismissed when she tries to tell them about the incident. Finally, she notices the Thorn house and says that they should go there. In the end, she knows ‘no one listens to her’ and decides to embark on her own. She leads the way again, and her reward is that she sees the finale - much as she has seen the ‘finale’ (the fall of the country) all along.
@@HuplesCat - I agree. She differs significantly in the book. My comment, as you noted, pertained to the film. In the novel, she was extremely perceptive and intuitive. She was a much stronger character in the tome.
@@ScoutsBoo615 I reviewed the book this week on my channel having avoided the film. Then I watched the film. I’m still in shock at how bad the film was with such promising raw material. Truly the director thinks the audience is very stupid and needs another action movie. The extended screaming by the very young Ruth and Amanda outside the shed did me in. Then the plane attack from Hitchcock? Sigh. My film review won’t be kind. What really surprises me is people looking for and finding Easter eggs in the film. Anyhow thanks for the chat
@@HuplesCat- I will watch your review. I just find it difficult not to see symbolism when viewing anything, good or bad or in-between. I’m sorry if I offended you with my commentary on the film; again, I agree with you that the characters in the film differed from the novel’s portrayal. I was just commenting on what I noticed.
To me the ending was so obvious. The women stopped and looked right at the house saying that they're going to check in there for her daughter. You could also hear them yelling for her outside the house before she went into the bunker. It's very quiet, but she stopped because she heard it. And the men said they had to find the bunker immediately, so they were clearly on their way to that house. I think it's evident that all of them are going to meet at the bunker... and eat all of that problematic food in the basement for years to come 😩
@@c.f.875I think they meant the junk food maybe? But I think it's pretty obvious she found the junk food from the kitchen, and hadn't gone into the bunker yet? Actually me and my wife were afraid she was going to open the bunker door and then somehow trigger a security system that would lock everyone else out lol.
The movie is NOT about the end of the world, it's about the collapse of the United States! The ending of the movie being the young girl watching Friends is a nod to the "good old days" of the 90s, before 9/11 or the current chaos we are living through.
nah , no way something like this remains just in our borders , it's an apocalypse film , you don't think it becomes a nuclear war ultimately , other countries get involved , it's over , this was just the beginning , you can always get comms back , this thing is going global but for this film they focused on the Usa in particular as an example but it could be any first world country
I felt it was just Americans, but if it could be done to the USA, PROMISE it can and will be done elsewhere. And final episode of Friends came almost 3 years after 9/11. HATE when people compare things to it, if they didn't witness or feel it when it happened. Allowed my opinion 😊
The scariest thing about this movie is that it is realistic (to a point). The fact that this kind of government toppling could genuinely happen over a weekend is bone chilling.
It's more of a attack of the American myth someone is coming to save you. Doesn't matter if it the cop's, the next president, the military, you name it noone is coming to save you when things go horrible wrong. When death is seconds away the cop's, the EMS or the military are minutes away. Technology has even made things worse because as a kid in the late 80s/90s if you broke down you were actually on your own with no cellphones to call anyone, no internet to tell you what to do. People today live in a reality bubble that will pop hard the minute something goes wrong
Debt is what ends empires, not what's happening in the movie. It seemed more apocalyptic. The paranoia blaming other countries, if it led to NYC getting nuked rest assured USA leadership would also nuke foreign powers. The way the animals acted. My guess is aliens. Though I'd imagine hurling a rogue meteorite at earth would be more effective.
@trvth1s interesting theory. I saw the city get bombed but not nuked. I reckon the radiation alert was delibarmissing information, or perhaps leaked from cyber hacked/low maintenance nuclear plants of even the delivered by the drones. For true though, the resources need to pull off all that chaos is over kill just to get people to turn on their government.
For me, the movie reminds me of how much we rely on technology. Without it, ships and planes crashing, computers going haywire, instant communications disabled with no cell phone, TV, radio, or internet services, being lost without GPS services, etc. It will be survival of the fittest, prepared for unthinkable events. I think we rely too heavily on technology in this day and age.
Radio would still work. People can communicate across continents with radios. Satellite radio like in that car wouldn’t work if the satellite wasn’t working. But a normal analog radio would be fine. And normal citizens do have radios that can do things like that. It’s a whole hobby for some people. It absolutely would allow for people to speak to one another and allow for the government to communicate with the population. Any car more than about 15 years old would generally be unaffected. Lots of home stereos would be umunpacted. Old televisions would still work. The movie is bad science fiction dressed up to seem realistic. The lack of communication is nonsense. The nuclear strike is nonsense. The kid’s teeth falling out is nonsense. The deer are obviously nonsense. I haven’t thought about what people would do that would impact “migration patterns” like that, but I think that was all nonsense and at best a red herring. The plan they showed with the passenger planes was nonsense. The flyers were nonsense.
@zero11010 I appreciate your comment and respect your opinion but would have to disagree on some things. Even though they are still useful, not all, but most people are phasing out or have already phased out antennas on their stereos, tv's and cars. (I do not think Teslas have AM/FM capability and that could be a trend with other car manufacturers.) Satellite and internet streaming have mostly taken over now. The point is that crucial information would be slow and a mass if people would be left out if our current communication technology were disabled. Plus, the current and ongoing advancements in A.I. could make the world a more dangerous and very scary place in the near future. A lot of our infrastructure could be disabled by foreign adversaries. But... that's just my opinion.
Sure without technology things change, but the twist of this film is that it’s not about weird lonely preppers, it’s about groups of people who trust and support one another and succeed. Most apocalyptic shows are written by cynical hyperindividuals as a libertarian fantasy but this film is a lot more reasonable about the benefits of allies.
@@MixedCompany2020 I hear you. And I like the way you disagree! Tesla sold 300,000 cars in 2020. That is out of 14.5 million units. That’s 2% of cars sold that year. The VAST majority of cars on the road are not Tesla and this is pretty much the ONLY company doing this. The VAST majority of cars on the road are not new. The average car is 12.5 years old (284 million cars … half of them would have these radios). The average US salary is 58k and the average new car price is 48k. The average person isn’t buying a brand new car. For example virtually all dealerships sell both new and used cars. There are lots of dealerships that only sell used cars. And, people sell their own used cars. Go to an intersection. Look for cars with a long radio antenna. Newer digital style antenna look like a little fin on the roof rather than the longer old school style. Is it half the cars that still have those? I imagine it depends on where you are. Plus … any radio with an antenna. You know not everyone is young, right? 17% of the US population is over the age of 65. Contact 5 people you know over the age of 65. Ask them if they have any way to listen to the AM radio … I would bet you money they have classic cars, and/or old stereo equipment, and/or emergency radios, old portable radios. Personally … the only thing in this category I have would be an emergency radio. These are commonly sold … for communication in emergencies. It’s one way. I can only listen. But, I do have a friend nearby who actually has a lot of radio equipment to listen to people from around the world. Go ahead and google emergency radios. Most retailers that sell outdoor equipment will sell them. This really isn’t rare. If my emergency radio stopped working (battery, solar, and hand crank are options), I would go to a neighbor. I’m guessing virtually every home in my neighborhood with people over the age of 60 would have this kind of thing. Just looked out my window … I see 6 cars that are more than 15 years old and would have these radios. If that didn’t work I would look for ANY emergency vehicle. If that didn’t work I would look for any big rig style truck. They use CB radios for their daily communication.
When the girl tells her bro “because I care about them” (friends characters)- that’s IMHO the entire point. We Americans have learned to cope in a world of selfish narcissists by numbing out and bonding with fictional characters. Reading the comments here, proves the point.
That actually brought tears in my eyes. I was lacking a bit of sleep from the nights before. That is the best emotional setting to really feel the ups and downs actually haha. But her depression and her parasocial bond, were expressed brilliantly in the script and her acting. I think all of us cared abput fictional characters, shed tears when they died or were hapoy for them succeeding. Be it books, movies or TV shows. I am unsure what exactly the point should be. But I guess maybe it is just that: fiction is culture and we care about our fictions. Maybe thats it.
The boy was THE ONLY ONE actually carrying about people, he asked about his girlfriend in the car ( which the response he got was "who?" ) and said "maybe you shouldn't", to his sister, about she carrying about series characters, who COMPLETELY IGNORED her family desperately shouting for her, to watch a series.
@@alamdaaliartesI disagree completely. The boy was a total jerk to his sister, like at the cabin, and different situations he kept telling her to shut up. I'm kind of glad He got sick lol
@@kbanghart this is so crazy. I dont think I encountered a movie or show, where people interpret plot elements so differently, like or dislike so many characters for different reasons. It is amazing.
I noticed the most that Rose noticed the boat , animals first and wanted to go to the house way before the family. Her brother and parents also seemed to brush her off. She tells her brother that no one cares what she thinks and he agrees. Finally she tells the story of the man that died and was upset at God, but God sent help. She said she was tired of waiting and left on her own. She noticed all the signs and didn't want to end up like the dude in her story. I thought that was part of the moral of the story.
This is produced by an ex president who resided in the west wing, where that story came from. Are you getting it yet? This movie is a message and literal gift from someone who cares deeply for the few who can understand it. Love thy neighbour. “I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to fall… and you’ll be there for me too” We are in the last chapter/episode before the big finale - End.
As a huge apocalyptic fiction reader (begging for a One Second After series), this movie was right up my alley and is what really scares me about society. We don’t need to be invaded. Take down a few systems and we’ll destroy ourselves. It wasn’t perfect, but they got the point across in subtle and not so subtle ways. Many aspects of the film have happened already on a much smaller scale. I encourage anyone that doesn’t “get it” to do some introspection. …puts tinfoil hat back in closet…
Loved one second after.... The story is fantastic... The authors writing style leaves something to be desired, but I still read the book several times. Listened to sequel here on the UA-cam
I completely agree! I don't agree w video when it says 'I believe all people would help each other' ........ TO ME that's a DREAM, and I'm wondering what world he's living in if he thinks there's more good than bad. Almost EVERYONE hides behind their internet screen, when if he and video and people are COMPLETELY honest W themselves, personally, I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD. I think MOST would ACT as Kevin Bacon character...... I'm for me and mine. Honestly, PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Wish it wasn't so, but, IMO.. it is.
At the end, Kevin Bacon told them to go to Thorne's bunker where Rose already was. In the car, G.H. confirmed to Clay they needed to go to that bunker. Amanda also saw the Thorne's residence and was going to find her daughter there before witnessing the explosion in the city. Rose heard her mother calling for her and was heading towards her mother before being distracted towards the bunker. So the movie gave us all the clues that they will all meet Rose in the bunker.
And Rose knew God was trying to show her the way to the house the whole time protecting her like thorns protect roses. (The door of the house was labeled "Thornes")
But GH promised his daughter he would go back to get her as well as Clay going to go back for his family. I’m sure when they got back and they were missing, they went to look for them. But would they have found the tracks leading to the house? I’m thinking yes
For this movie to be as slow paced as it was, I was never bored the only bad thing about this movie is they never actually answered anything I was upset at the ending but quickly realized the movie wasn’t really about the events happening but more about the characters and the dialogue between them
Like you said the movie isn’t about who is responsible. Imagine they answered it. Let’s say it was Russia. Does that make the movie better? I don’t think so.
Exactly, it wasnt about what was actually going on, just more about how we act as a society and an interpretation of how these specific people would react to everything based off their own situations. If people wamted a real apocoliptic movie with answers then Armageddon, Resident Evil etc is the movie for them lol
@@mariosargiropoulos1715yes. Explaining events is a key part in story telling. This movie was basically saying "lEtS gO AgAiNsT tHe gRaIn aNd mAKe aN aRtSy cRipTic MoViE."
@@mariosargiropoulos1715yeah but we wabted answers.. like does the kid teeth keep falling out? Do the deer come back and start talking to them? What about them flamingos? Oh and let's not forget about that poor Hispanic lady!!? 😂❤
I believe that another way to think about the use of the color blue in relation to safety is that blue light is often emitted from media screens, our phones and TV's, which we often find comfort in on a daily basis. The whole premise of the movie was that we lose connection to those devices, or our outlets of comfort. The entire movie Rose was trying to get back to her media comfort and was able to find it in the end. It can be a metaphor how we have lost touch with the natural world and only find comfort in our devices. It's even interesting to see how Rose was happy watching Friends, while the whole country is in chaos--Screens over reality.
So cool how they added the dear scene. Radiation messing with everything, even the dear. Dears dont usually move in packs (they are prey), but in that scene the radiation made their brain think like predators (there being an alpha deer). Such a well detailed movie.
It was about "Pole shifting" as well, it messes up the electronic magnetism & eco location of animals moving around, hence why thise flamingos came to their pool & deer, plane & boat crashing because of the compass being off
A lot of people seem to hate the ending, but I don’t think it’s terrible and it actually makes complete sense; the girl has her own perspective shown throughout the film, just like the mom and dad, while the Son is not as integral and shares a lot of time with the dad. It’s only fitting where it ended, as the movie isn’t about WHAT is going on and causing the “world to end” but HOW people act and treat each other. The movie starts off with Julia Roberts saying she hates people. Idk, I thought it was good. Just seems like people want things spoonfed rather than have to think about what they saw and come to their own conclusions.
My issue with this movie is that the red herrings aren't used properly. Yes, there's an underlying message but an underlying message doesn't make a movie good. This was red herring the movie
I don't hate the ending camera I dislike the whole movie.. Figured halfway through, it was going to be a movie without a real ending.. that we all just end up fighting and the world. Kind of ends parade. And kevin bacon type people will fare better.... Then the half of the population that voted biden. Lol
Also, people who wanted a resolution didn’t get the film. There’s NO resolution. It’s over. Full stop. The girl was just focused on what would make her happy even though the world is over for her.
And realize that the youngest, the girl, has 'Netflix' on the TV remote control, so we could think: are they part of a trick, part of a bigger conspiracy against only them? or Can they watch themselves in the TV? Why so many DVDs and not a book or music references in the bunker? We need another magnificent ending.
(Spoilers below) Three things I noticed that I haven't heard anyone talk about yet. 1. When the Jenga toy block building that they are playing in the house falls in the beginning it is reminiscent of the 9/11 twin towers falling due to a terrorist attack which is heavily implied to also be a cyber terrorist attack in this film. 2. GH's daughter says that the other girl "keeps staring into the woods like Donnie Darko.” And there is a prior shot of the same clock that looks like a frowny sad face that is the exact same clock (type) that was used in the movie Donnie Darko. It was in Donnie Darko's living room I believe. 2. In the scene where New York is burning and the missiles are going off, the two characters stand in disbelief and grab each others hands as they silently watch the buildings fall. Sound familiar to anyone? Should "Where is my mind" by Pixies be playing during this scene? Because that's straight up Fight Club. And sure enough in one of the final shots in the film as the camera is zooming in on the wall that has the DVD collection, what movie do you see that stands out the most? Fight Club! Which was also a movie that was about how to take down and reset America (or a society) which is basically what this movie is also about but just in a different context.
I actually didn’t mind the way it ended tbh. We stayed POV of two families the whole movie. I like the idea of inferring some things. My real issue was nobody sharing any info. At some point whether you’re half racist or scared or whatever, you’ll start to spill the info you have or what you thinking. Mahershala never telling his daughter was wild. I mean their kids teeth started falling out and that was first time you thought to go to the survivalist? Idk. I understood some parts, other parts it’s like dude ppl aren’t THAT stubborn haha
People on the left really are that stubborn though. 2020 was the perfect example. Lots of leftist cucks who had absolutely NO idea about all the “peaceful” riots for 3 months straight. But somehow can repeat every word spoken by the news on the “insurrection”
Yeah I think Mahershala Ali’s character withholding info was definitely for dramatization lol. I was fine with the ending as well, I knew 5 minutes into the movie it was going to be a “thinking” film and not a run of the mill disaster flick.
@@epcarter6yeah exactly. Knowing Esmail, and after they didn’t let us see anyone’s reaction except that families even after the oil tanker. It was obvious we weren’t going to get the typical apocalyptic movie which was fine with. We’ve seen those a thousand times anyway
@@epcarter6yeah, The characters Revelation of the big plan was a bit silly, I mean most of us who are aware of what's going on in the world understand that people are talking about civil War all the time, civil unrest, etc.
The little girl was the wisest, most observant, saw the signs of the deer and tanker first, even the house with bunker she had seen from shed when her brother turned back, no one listened to her, hence her story to her mum about taking action and seeing the signs, so I thought it was great that she was the one who found the bunker and the movie ending with the words from Friends I’ll be there for you. And we can assume that they all ended up in the bunker at least. So it had some positive message too.
Wise? All she did was nkt care about her family, run away, binge eat candy, hear her mother desperately call for her and ignire it and only care about watching the end of Friends. The script makes sou d li,e she's wise but she was selfish and self absorbed AF.
@@IaneHowe She didn't care about her family because they didn't listen to or show that they cared about her. An ignored child will eventually rebel in some manner. She didn't ignore her family until it was clear to her that they were ignoring her.
@@IaneHowe I didnt see anything wise from her. She literally roamed around and entered a strange random house , further into the house entered a mysterious bunker , nothing about that was safe as a 13 year old.
Nah George was the wisest obviously, had the best idea of what was going on and what to do in in the circumstances, plus the dude had so much goodness in humanity he was so patient to deal with the family and protect them
The Ending of the movie for me was showcasing real life today. How people have become obsess with fictional characters. Rose did not care when bit about her family all. only cared about Rachel and Rose. The whole movie is about people really do not care about each other or have any trust.
There are still a good amount of details/plot lines that are unanswered. This movie seem like a movie where nothing is included for the sake of it, which is why some of these unanswered questions are driving me mad lol. Everything seems very intensional, especially after learning about some of the deeper meanings/ references included in this film. 1. Why was Amanda in such a rush to get out the city at the start of the film? She booked the rental home and began packing whilst everyone was still asleep and unaware they were going on a trip. Also conveniently on the day of the blackout? 2. Why did two planes crash in the exact same spot? Weird, no? 3. Why did all the news notifications on Amanda’s phone completely disappear? 4. What was up with the human imprint in the leaves in the shed? Ik the son made up the story to scare his sister but it made the viewer expect something to come of this story (as it does look like someone has been sleeping there) or for something to happen later in the film but it never does. 5. Why were the kids “unfazed” after the ship crashes on the beach? Amanda mentions this to Clay which implies there could be a deeper meaning to this but again, nothing is mentioned in the film. 6. Kinda ties into the fifth point but why doesn’t no one talk about what happens when they’re separated? When G.H sees the planes, he only plans on telling Amanda and no one else. The kids don’t talk about finding the shed. Clay doesn’t mention the woman he saw in the street until much later on in the film. Found it weird that they where all keeping things to themselves. There’s probably more that I haven’t mentioned but this is the list I have from memory
It baffles me that so many people are confused about the ending. G.H. literally explains in detail what is happening, and you see NYC being bombed. Simple. Great movie, really looking forward to a 2nd viewing.
Its really sad how accurate this movie is when it reveals the absolute ill prepared and ill equipped state of being MOST humans are. I deal with thousands of people a year whether it is in a retail setting, consulting setting, family setting or casual everyday interactions. People are clueless and so independently arrogant to the point of lazy, ill informed, ill prepared and ignorant to many realities. Scary really.
@@GRtheforbiddenone Observations. Evaluations. Determinations. Sightings. Rulings. All aspects of experience. I too may or may not be arrogant in some peoples assessments. I've earned it. When you've looked up a few assholes, you get the right to call people stinky. It is what it is.
@@TruthInEquity we all believe we aren’t ignorant, we all believe we have a good sense of judgement. I understand your sentiment and I like the “stinky” idiom, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that arrogance is arrogance. A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
The character, Rose's, fixation on the show, Friends, to me, is indicative of how humans focus on things with no substance that do not serve us in any way. We are conditioned, brainwashed, and bamboozled and are completely blind to the fact that while we are focused on bullcrap, we should be preparing. Kevin Bacon's character is indicative of the prepared vs. the unprepared! When the time comes, and IT WILL, those who have prepared will certainly have to protect themselves from those who have not! The character, Clay, states the most reviting lines in the entire movie, " ...I have no idea what I am supposed to do right now. I can barely do anything without my cellphone and my GPS. I am a useless man...." Humans are extremely codependent on devices/technology. Who has an actual paper map these days? Can anyone name at least 5 people who have a bunker with stocked food, supplies, amo, medicine, etc! During the trial run that they pulled on us with that lockdown, there was a lack of food and supplies, and it seems to have taught us NOTHING! We were so focused on "getting back to normal" that we missed the whole point!! We came out of it, adjusted to the new normal, and are as screwed as we were before the PLANdemic. When I try to talk to my family about preparing, they are only focused on the distractions that the elite have set before us, sports, clothes, sneakers, cars, rappers, so-called stars and all of that bullcrap!! So, I'm doing it alone! It's difficult, but I'm doing it!! The message to me was PREPARE before it's too late!! Btw, I believe they all made it to the bunker.
Unless you're wealthy, have land or you can build it yourself a bunker is not happening for 90% of Americans, I don't know anyone with a bunker. The best average people can do is stock up on food, water and ammo. If you live in the city things are definitely going to be more challenging. As for myself I started stocking up on food...way back in 2014, something about the world seemed different.
Very well stated, precisely my view as well. We are blinded by the shiny things, and have no idea on how to live without them unfortunately, I don't have a bunker nor know anyone who does. So I'm screwed.
I've posted this in 3 other videos breaking down this movie. I thought I may as well post it here as well... I haven't seen anyone connect the dots with the girl's story about the man who believed in God. The end of that story is, "I sent a message, I sent a boat and I sent a plane (all things that happened in the movie). What more did you want?" Only the youngest, most innocent character in the movie (who was largely ignored by everyone else) was saying that it was all a message. She alone felt drawn to the fully stocked bunker--a place of refuge and plenty. The last words of the movie are, "I'll be there for you". To those who say she is selfish are missing out on the point that all of the other people in the movie were ignoring her. She tried to tell them they were being given a message but nobody even cared to ask what she thought. Many accuse her of abandoning her family when it her family that abandoned her. And it doesn't take a leap of imagination to believe after watching the last episode of Freinds that she doesn't pedal her bike back ro the others and lead them to the bunker. After all--Danny had told them it was there as well. She was just the first of them to find it.
Her name being Rose and the house belonging to the Thorns!! Thorns protect roses, right? God was looking out for her! He would be there for her when no one else was. Maybe not the message the producers wanted to give but hey, God can and does speak using any and everything. I see Rose as being hope.
Those involved with the demonic occult are required to tell you what they're doing. They also do it without actually telling you what they're doing. Get my drift? This movie is full of them telling us things.
@lukefriesen If at this point in time, you still can't see and understand what this commenter means, then "explaining" it to you will be a waste of time and energy. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Wake up, look around and and think!!!
I also noticed the name of the ship White Lion along with 1619 several times within the movie. A lot of moving parts but I think a lot people ignore or miss some key symbolism which explains a lot about the times we live in.
@clemrose9720 The White Lion was the first slave ship that landed on this continent in 1619 at Point Comfort Virginia. The movie symbolically is much deeper than the Heavy Spoilers interpretation. Also the constant infacise on the colors red white and blue! And history repeating itself. Along with our addiction to technology.
@@pokemercenary6511 Because it started at a minimum in 1526. But hey why be remotely accurate. It's not like S. Carolina or Sapelo Island Georgia or Florida are part of America. Too subtle for you?
@@jantzfitzgerald6115yes but I think everyone refers to 1619 because the British trading of slaves began and it lasted a lot longer. The Spanish brought slaves but they rebelled and ran off. That settlement failed.
I loved so much how the steps George explained were practically the same steps that Yuri Bezmenov explained about the 'steps to destablize' which the Soviet Union planned to use on the United States of America during the Cold War. It was honestly the thing that made me love the movie, even before watching the movie, I already researched and understood and was fascinated by the steps that Bezmenov gave, and just watching this movie made me enjoy it so much more.
No Soliciting signs are common in the US, usually in more affluent neighborhoods. Before I bought one, we'd get 3-5 people ringing the doorbell each week trying to sell their services. The first time I answered the door, the guy talked for 5 minutes about his pest control service before I said we're actually in here discussing a death in the family, and he said he'd come back in an hour. Like wtf. That's what prompted me to buy a sign.
I bought a no soliciting sign too after we were visited by a pest control company during the pandemic. The anger I felt for that unnamed company was palpable. We are so inundated with advertising on all media platforms that when someone actually comes to your door, it feels like an invasion. I've always thought that if I really wanted a product, I would go purchase it. I don't need to be hyper aware of what is out there, especially if it involves coming to my door.
Really? You let him stand there and talk for 5 minutes. that's 300 seconds of non-stop talking. You didn't interject, gesture 'stop' with your hand, or just close the door in his face? Press X to doubt.
I’m really surprised that people hadn’t already thought about this. Me and my friends talked about this scenario for decades. One good strike at the power grid and no internet or phones, it’s going to be Lord of the Flies within a day. And don’t expect countries to come help us out, because we don’t have that type of good will in the world.
So a couple of nights ago, anyone who lives in NYC (and even parts of Jersey) most likely saw their lights flicker on and off a couple of times. That was because there was an explosion at one of the power plants all the way in Brooklyn. Imagine if somebody really did strike a power plant that could reach the entire city and a whole other state. 😩 I totally agree that it’s pretty scary.
the shots of the oil tanker getting closer to shore reminded me in the best way of Melancholia (2011), particularly the scene where the wire tool shows the planet's approach
I always wondered why the Mr Robot Channel was still active. If this movie is based in the same world as Mr Robot, then I’m sure he’ll make more ties in other movies. Quietly making his own ‘universe’
I really enjoyed this movie. I was just as confused as the characters leading up to the end which made feel.. I don't know how to explain it. It gave it a level of realism for me. We know as much as the characters, which isn't a lot.
@@trinidiana Brains have been dumbed down by so much industry movie franchise crap over quite a few years now. But I‘m pretty sure this gem will end up as a little cult classic, finding its audience and new fans over time.
@@silentroccoyup quickly understood after 10mins of being in my feelings about the ending it’s was like something hit me and I realized I was looking at it all wrong and it was more about the characters and not the events happening
Only an idiot thinks this was a fantastic movie... they gave you garbage and your loving it. Who started the war was irrelevant but ironically so was the rest of the pointless plot.
I don't understand the hate for his movie or people's issues with the ending. Thought it was great. Really great. Ethan Hawke's scene where he was begging for his son made me so happy. Such a great actor.
I think people hate it because this is the people in charge’s way of showing us what’s gonna happen, at least to some degree. Hopefully Jesus will be back by then, we know he’ll be back regardless though Come to Christ if you haven’t yet AMEN 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
The acting was truly phenomenal. If not for these specific actors, Im not sure they could have pulled it off. It was great trying to figure out what would happen next
Was I the only one who noticed the house at the end had a hallway entirely red? While the house in the beginning was completely blue? I caught onto this after they mentioned the civil war part
Interesting how at 32minutes in they speak about the wife who is the art dealer and why there aren't pictures on the wall of the family diverting your attention to think about art on the wall and the artwork changes throughout the movie,and the map at 34 minutes has QR CODE hidden in it to the right of the map for a split second then goes blurry.
I really like how in this movie when everything went wrong everyone did find away to bond and become closer rather than immediately turn in each other. I mean it did start off rocky but they came around at least lol.
What was there to love about it? It ended and they never really showed or explained what really happened. It had a great cast but that was just about it
@@shauniiii961 So, you think if this happened to you, someone would explain things to you before you‘ll end up lost or dead? Not knowing shit when things go down is pretty realistic and therefore feels all the way more scary.
Same here. Gave it a rewatch the day after seeing it, this time with my mom, so have someone to talk about the themes irl. Surely way up there in my personal favorites. Love this flick fr fr.
And more cryptic stuff. With friends, the resent death of the dude from friends. Speaking of the winter solstice ritual sacrifices. Jihad and the Tesla scene with the numerology. They are screaming at us telling us what’s about to happen
@2lipToo its predictive programming. In the elites religion, it says they have to warn us of coming catastrophes so their god cant hold them responsible.
The ending made me grin. I was expecting more standard solution and this was just perfect. In a hopeless state that the world is in, something like that truly warms my heart
Movie was littered with symbolism. The thing is most of us will choose to ignore it. I don’t want to be bleak but there are dark times coming on the horizon
Hopefully this gives Esmail the recognition he deserves and allows him to create more movies and TV Shows. Mr.Robot is a work of art and genius, one of the few shows in recent memory to really have something to offer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so it has become an annual tradition to watch all 4 seasons at Christmas.
This movie actually made me think of Gaza. What Gazans are experiencing isn't that far off from this: disconnect from the rest of the world, massive destruction and death, bombs showering on them. Yet they practice solidarity and compassion with each other nonetheless.
People forget that Hamas literally started the attack when they invaded an Israel musical festival full of thousands of people. They came in on gliders, attendees thinking it was all part of the show. Until they opened fire and gunned down hundreds of innocents. That’s when Israel had enough and decided to fight back. Also blame Hamas for putting their military compound underneath a hospital full of civilians. Really dumb on their part. They purposefully set up a base there thinking ain’t no way Israel will attack a hospital full of innocents. How wrong they were. And then they use their own people as meat shields. Completely fkd up.
@@eden20111 Dude I gotta tell you, Hamas retaliated because of Israel terrorism and occupation, look out when was Israel founded and when was and why Hamas founded. You need to read more and perhaps go to the West Bank to experience Israel's apartheid first hand.
A lot of cope for the fact that in retaliation, the Israeli military indiscriminately murdered 10k+ innocent civilians, most of whom were women and children. But hey, the media said it was all necessary and you bought it so good for you @@eden20111
I want to know why the full wall image behind the master bed changes from the beginning to the middle. In the beginning, the water in the image is just above the headboard. Later (possibly around chapter 'the flood'),, the water is much higher above the headboard.
I noticed that, too. The water/waves were higher each morning with the waves bigger and appearing rough. I’m sure Esmail intended this symbolism to mean something.
You don't realise how much you rely on technology until you don't have it. We were switching our network provider and without warning they cut us off from the network. Imagine waking up with none of your devices working, no idea what's going on, no tv you can check because all of the channels are out, and no phone to check the news because you don't have any WiFi or mobile data. The scariest part isn't the games you can't play or videos you can't watch, but the fact that you have no idea what's going on, and that you're cut off from the world with no one to communicate with.
Since you asked, the plural of Deer is Deer. It’s a Native American word that comes from a language that doesn’t use plural nouns. Also why the plural of Moose is Moose.
It's funny how different people take different things from the movie like an art piece. For me, Mahershala Ali's character is an allegory for how an African-American/black man must operate to survive in this world. He turns his code switching role on when he has to appear non-threatening and extremely passive in his own home. Like we see in the news or on the internet, things can go south quickly even when you are in your own home (look up Henry Louis Gates Jr.incident). Once things get into high gear, he turns his code switching off and is willing to protect those he has formed a bond with. You want his character on your side no matter what situation you're in. Lastly, whenever I see kids characters in movies nowadays, I'm like the screen writer doesn't remeber being a kid or has never been around children ever. Either the kids are written as a lot wiser than the adults or foolishly "brave." Every parent knows that when there is a scary situation, even the "bravest" child runs to the safest adult (ex. Watching a scary movie). Weeks or even years of sleeping with a night light, bedroom door open and/or the dreaded sleeping in the same room with parents....ugh..one of most parents'worst nightmare...lol!
Yes! the nod to slavery and civil war was somewhat hidden but the ships name was "White Lion" which was the first ship to bring slaves to America and the radio station in the car was tuned to 1619 which was the year that boat brought slaves to America. The house was set up like a slave ship with the white people above and the black people in the basement which looked like the bottom of a ship. I havent heard what the shed represents. Maybe Uncle Toms Cabin. So interesting.
Of the Henry Louis Gates Jr. incident: Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested by Officer Crowley upon returning home from a trip to China, to find the front door to his home had been jammed shut from an apparent burglary. Gates later revealed during a National Press Club luncheon that he had met with Crowley for a beer prior to the Beer Summit at the suggestion of President Bill Clinton. Gates said that he was 'moved' when Crowley told him "Professor, all I wanted was to go home to my wife at the end of the day." Gates further recounted that Crowley 'had feared that ANOTHER BLACK MAN had been upstairs who could at any moment have come down and killed him.'...🙄 Gates said he was 'moved to tears' upon hearing that..😒 Imagine being 'moved to tears' (instead of anger) upon hearing someone say they feared being killed by a (nonexistent) Black man based on you're being Black, after they'd arrested you for trying to get into your own home?✨ The code-switching of Ali's character 'George' Scott & his need to appear extremely docile for the Sanfords in his own home grated me throughout the movie because it came at the expense of his daughter, whom he should've been putting first. She (rightfully) expressed her discomfort at entertaining those strangers in their home, but he was so willing to accommodate them, he re-accepted them back into his home after they returned & then, he continued to make his daughter sleep in the basement rather than her own room upstairs, just to set those strangers at ease. Later, when she practically begged him not to leave her, (or at least not to separate from her), George, a potentially widowed father, was so compelled to be there for another family that he left his grieving daughter to fend for herself with renewed fears of possibly losing her last remaining parent. As a Black person, this stuck out to me in a very unsettling way... It made sense why his name was 'George', since there was a time when Black men in service positions, expected to be accommodating to members of the dominant society, were often called by the name 'George', despite it not being their actual name. The guy pulled a hand gun on an armed survivalist he'd once considered to be his friend & was nearly shot for his efforts, giving no consideration of how his daughter would've been impacted had he not returned. I felt that had the Scotts & the Sanfords all been of the same race, then George's priorities may have centered on protecting what was left on his own family, rather than risking it all for someone else's. Dr. Claud Anderson would classify his actions as being 'inappropriate behavior', a learned response cultivated by existing under centuries of White/Elite supremacy. I think George was a perfect example of how many of us act against our best interests when it comes to dealing with people outside our own race. I think this also explains why the Sanfords didn't refuse sleeping in the master bedroom or offer to take the basement even AFTER they'd returned to George & Ruth's home from the Tesla incident, which is what most people would've done under the circumstances. The Scotts didn't have to let them back in, so it would've made sense for the Sanfords to come back with some humility.
@@corlenajames1381You made some good points that didn’t occur to me before (about where they slept after they came home), but I saw Mahershala Ali as the more humane, intelligent, and intuitive adult compared to his daughter. Intuition goes far deeper than race in interpreting who is a danger/ threat and who is not. If you’ve known all colors during your life, you know that there are both predatory people and safe people in every different color. I have to say Julia Roberts was the most annoying woman who seemed ridiculously like a fake representation of a human. I’m sure they exist, women like her, but I was more on the level of Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali. Just humans, trying to solve a problem.
@@ambermoon719 Julia Roberts' character was confusing to me. One minute she's taking charge and next minute demanding her husband take action. I despised Ethan Hawke's weak, bumbling character and the bratty rich b1tch race-conscious daughter who in reality would've been much more privileged than the vast majority of "white" teenagers her age. And do most teenage boys masturbate over very tame sunbathing pics of girls with stupid tats?
This is the world. The oil tanker was coming and no one moved until it was about to come ashore. They couldn't believe this giant boat wasn't gonna stop.
"White Lion" was the name of the ship to bring the first captive Africans to North America (Virginia). Also, is that really a nuclear explosion over NYC? Where was the flash if they were that close to the city? I think it was a power plant in Queens exploding.
Also on the radio when Ethan hawke was in the car the station wa 1619 and I though it would mean something and looked it up and its a book about the slaves ships coming to America.
“White Lion” was an English ship (carrying a Dutch marque: NY was a Dutch colony btw). It landed in 1619 at Point Comfort, Va, now Hampton VA. The film takes place in The Hamptons, NY. The town in the movie is also Point Comfort. On the drive to the house, the other location on the highway sign was Fort Mose Road, referring to Fort Mose in St Augustine, Florida. It was established by Spain as the first legally recognized settlement for free blacks escaping plantations in the English colonies of Georgia and South Carolina. To me it read as a kind of foreshadowing and counterpoint of the racial subtext.
In a simple way, I saw the deer as wanting food, when humans feed wild animals how they tell each-other and the next day tons show up. I think maybe someone had been feeding them so when they saw people they were all like “ooooo treats!” But also a nod to the animals seeing us as help. There is no way they knew things were happening. However when the bombs started dropping, that seems like thats when they were spooked, while Amanda and Ruth were in the cabin. Just thoughts. I loved the film. And i really don’t get some of the hate it’s getting. But maybe people wanted Aliens. Lol. I kinda did too but loved the result. The end to me was hope. Her brother said “you’ll never see that last episode now” and he was wrong and a bit of a jerk to her.
I could give you a very long list. Just look for my comments. I thought it was terrible. The ending was actually one of the best parts. It was smart and to the point. It was the rest of the movie chock full of pretentiousness, red herrings, and especially the terrible plot devices that I hated. I didn't want aliens. In fact I thought this was going to be some kind of kidnapping/escape type movie. I had no clue what it was about and at first I thought maybe Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon had something going on because of the knowing look between them that ended up being a deceptive misdirection much like the father and daughter being soooo suspicious and then wagging a finger at us for thinking the black people are suspicious. They were ACTING suspicious. And the young people were walking stereotypes. And the teeth falling out was just stupid, but not as stupid as the whole "I NEED MEDICINE FOR MY BOY" trope and the miraculous blue pill that we're supposed to think will save him I guess? I don't know. That was left to interpretation which was fine since it was one of the rare instances that we weren't slapped in the face with obvious metaphors.
@@cs5384 soo what you’re telling me is… you didn’t like it. 👀 I get all the references u are listing. I sat on my couch, ate peanut butter jelly sammiches and just got into it. I wasn’t trying to solve it but it had me thinking. I love the fun camera angles… i love the rude behavior lol like Where is this going? Why she so stuck up… oh man the daughter is stuck up too yikes. I dunno, I had fun with it. I can totally understand people not liking a movie. It’s so subjective. It looked beautiful, sounded beautiful, was creepy at times, tight with tension. Is it a Masterpiece? Nah. Its not. But its damn fine technically. So many other films get phoned in. This director had fun with it. I appreciate that.
Sorry but Bambi and her friends were not looking for snacks from the humans. They were eerily an omen, warning them. Animals have a way of knowing, something in the air. They were retreating from something they can never escape, humankind's cruelty.
@@billybobtexas I think there were layered meanings about the deer, but I definitely agree with you that there was a lot to like about this movie. The director was purposeful about the way that he laced it with symbolism, so that we would all be discussing it like we are now.
Hahaha that’s the point it’s to show you that you are like the little girl Rose so focused on the end of a show or movie missing what is happening around the film
@@reecewiczy7758bingo it took me about 10mins after being confused about the ending to realize it was never about the ending but more about everything in between still wish we got more answers but good movie
@@nineteenfortyeight Sometimes I think it’s nice that ppl want to thank someone other than themselves for their good fortune , and they very rarely curse same for the bad. But mostly, it feels incredibly egotistical + self-inflating that they really think “God” saved them (+ left others to suffer/die). Ur comment struck the same cord. While it’s good to thank someone for our good fortune, it seems like a huge slap to anyone who didn’t hv good fortune. We don’t know. She doesn’t know. YDK. IDK. The good news is, one of us is right and we’ll all find out who in the end.
@@nineteenfortyeight God does a lot for us , He certainly does more than enough for me and I don’t deserve it. So yes, He is worthy of all the praise and glory and even if I thank Him everyday for the rest of my life it still wouldn’t be enough. We thank Him for His mercy because we still live to see another day , despite those leaving earth before us.
Yup, watching it now and I'm making sure to not get entertained. But rather mentally notate. Obama said he added experience from his presidency into the movie. Basically stuff he's not been allowed to speak on publicly, so why not add it in a movie and deem it as "entertainment" & "art". Ya know??
I like to think it was all based around rose, she told them about the boat, the deer, the house and no one listened and in the end she thought f you guys I’m watching my friends episode in peace.
I watched this last night. Great actors and acting. The first act was good, then the rest of the movie fell off after that. I was expecting to get to more definitive answers and characters surrounding the crisis and it ended to me in a really dumb way.
You sound like the little girl that was so worried about finding out the ending of a series while the world is falling apart around her. Didn’t catch that did ya?
i'm with you. i thought some of the social commentary was clumsy and out of place. certainly had some striking visuals and good acting. i just wasn't left feeling like i'd see a great movie. it was OK.
So what's up with Archie? That's never fully explained. Is his illness from the bug bite or radiation? If from the latter, then won't all of them end up sick and eventually dead?
It was ambiguous on purpose. It could have been radiation or bug bite. Just like if we lost the ability to look it up on the Internet or easy access to a doctor.
One thing was for sure though. They knew this prepper would have a magical blue pill to heal him right up as long as they had the right price.@@henrylam24
He said he didn’t cover his ears quick enough while the rest of them did, also whatever bit him could’ve gotten sick and weakened his body so the radiation took a toll on him quicker
I find it interesting how we not too long ago lost a cast member of friends, and doja cat posed in a very dark image with a nod to the "friends" script and setting now we have the last episode of friends airing during an apocalyptic type of film. wonder if there's any connection or is it all coincidence.
It would be even more of a coincidence if Julia Roberts birthday was Mathew Perry’s death date and they used to be a couple.coincidence after coincidence after coincidence is saying to me it’s no coincidence
@@TymeTraveling777 Sounds good to me. A new host of characters could be introduced. However, Urban Dwellers wouldn't last 10 minutes into an episode. I'd be fine with that.
I think Rose left them (family) behind. She complained how she’s not important and ignored. This isolation made her more perceptive. Given her age, it would not be a stretch to assume she’d lock herself in the bunker (even if she heard them calling) due to their treatment of her and her desire to “give it all up” or whatever she said in bed after telling the tale of the man and the flood.
I also lean towards this opinion given how her first instinct when finding shelter was to eat all the food. She has no instinct for preserving her or her family's life, she wants to distract and eat herself to death. That's the sad reality of how screen addiction can impact children, before we even get to the treatment aspect she just fundamentally prioritizes comfort over preservation. And I think the metaphor she made was essentially that she's gonna jump on the first rescue opportunity rather than wait for all the signs of doom to manifest.
I'm done waiting is what she said right, I am on my 2nd watch of the movie tonight as last night made me feel almost annoyed at not knowing and that feeling I love yet is a phobia at the same time. I feel they are simply showing you what to expect, I mean if you can't see the signs then for me you need your head examined.
@@LilyGazou you better believe I have, and I am talking Somerset rambo stuff, I have everything I need. My food stock is huge and I have spent a good 15yrs learning. I just watch for signs and they are absolutely everywhere. My gear is british and built to last being a friend of a soldier I have a few proper military grade gear. I even own water straws down to books on foraging and sas guide books. Oh I also have my pocketbook bible as I am sure the people who treat us so terribly are satanist. I thought the movie is a massive message of likelihood. Kind of freaked me out a bit as it feels as if it could happen at any minute without sounding like a scared wet fart. Hope your good.
A STORE called The Huxleys??? It’s moments like this that make me question if you’ve even seen the thing you’re talking about?!? It was a HOUSE… the owners are The Huxley’s! We see interior shots… the family is referenced by the characters! It’s the house where the BUNKER is!!! How did you come up with STORE?!?! 😮
People are collectively good until the food and water run out. Then everyone turns into beast and you'd better follow the rules laid out early in The Walking Dead.
I think it's obvious they make it to the bunker, and ridiculous that so many people even have to question it. The ending isn't meant to be left up to interpretation, it's literally EVERYONE'S next destination.
I totally agree! Danny just told the guys about the bunker and the girls are heard outside the house yelling for Rose, so they definitely end up in the bunker!🙄
Agreed, filmmakers would have made a clip or her closing the shelter door or something if the end is NOT that like 5 min after she put on the movie, they all show up
In my opinion, part two would be fitting. I dislike how some of M. Night Shyamalan's movies, such as “The Happening” and “Lady in the Water” end, leaving the story up to interpretation. John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” are examples of how that style is masterfully done.
No your completely wrong, it’s all meant for interpretation. The whole family could’ve died from radiation before they made to the house or rose could’ve locked herself in the bunker. To think the ending was just black and white is foolish
@@daveagard1884You really want to go there? Here's the thing, bucko- since you want to get "technical", and resort to name calling. Common sense aside, allow me to elaborate on some details for you to wrap your "superior" head around; Rosie's Mother Amanda & Ruth were mere moments away from entering that house themselves in their ongoing search to find her. If it had really been left to interpretation as to whether or not Rosie did/ didn't decide to close the door behind her rather than suggesting her keeping the door open as common sense would dictate, than the director would have shown something to indicate the possibility of that decision as soon as she'd entered the safe room. Instead, we see her investigating the room with the door open- before finally sorting through the massive assortment of DVD's, and discovering"Friends" amongst the collection. She immediately sat down, and began watching the final episode from the beginning. The episode in question is 48 minutes long, and given her obsession with the show it stands to reason that once the episode had begin playing, she'd continue watching it uninterrupted. Meaning, she's going to stay in that exact spot in front of the television until the aformentioned runtime is up. Rosie has demonstrated that she's selfish, sure. But when exactly did she demonstrate a lack of intelligence? Yes, there's plenty of food, and water for her to survive alone- but surely she's not incompetent enough to lock her family out, and leave herself vulnerable to whomever actually owns the bunker should they return. Much less, any problems she may face without adult help therein. And though George, Clay, & Archie were a little further than a hop, skip, and a jump away from the bunker than Amanda & Ruth were- the context of their last conversation before panning back to Rosie confirms it to be their next destination, and HEAVILY implies their being reunited with the rest of the group shortly after Amanda & Ruth get their themselves. Yes, anything could happen- they could crash into a tree, or be ambushed by fellow survivors on their way. HOWEVER, that's NOT what's being suggested here. All signs point to everyone getting there. Rosie just happened to get there first. NOWHERE is it implied that her locking herself in the bunker is a possibility. And all of the evidence listed above actually points to the contrary.
I'm not scared by movies very often, aside from a jump-scare. This movie absolutely terrified me. I thought it was a better version of the one with Marky Mark running from wind, but to find it was just the modern The Day After broke my brain.
I liked it. I’ve lived through state failures (not the same extent, but still) and I think the film captured the vein of disinformation that runs through situations like that. There are no real answers and at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter.
Disinformation is the key. After 9-11 the media showed scenes of middle east people dancing. I guess Iraqis as that would be the intended target from the 90's. No truth (just dancing from a wedding) but peoples critical thinking was not working. Crying fire in the theater is criminal because behind confined and having a fire is fatal and no one will question the information. The pandemic and so called scientific facts showed this. There were 'facts' from MSM and then facts or just data from scientific journals. I am beginning to see the value in a short wave radio to at least get raw observations from a lot of people in the case of an emergency.
@@gg-mercenary7104 😬 I’m from Venezuela. I’ve lived through weeks of state and gang violence with no electricity or water in urban areas. It’s not the extent of the film or even areas like Yemen or Syria, but still qualifies as a failed state. At least intermittently.
@@alejandromartinezmontes6700 definitely, you got me there. That would be a failed state. I'm sorry, I thought you was some whiney ass privileged American complaining.
I thought Julia Robert's suspicions were valid in the beginning. I want to know what "the noise" was. That was wild! Also what was up with the radioactive tick that bit the son? Ticks were made into a lyne disease bioweapon in America in the 70s and got out of the lab and into the wild around that time m, so maybe it was a nod to this. Also what was up with the indentation of a man in the leaves within the shack?
That thing about the tick bioweapons is not true. It's a very old, very lame conspiracy theory that was promoted a few years back by a very old, very lame conspiracy theorist who had no first-hand evidence, he just believed it to be true even though there were no evidence, just like every other old lame conspiracy theory.
Look up Havana Syndrome and neuro-weapons. While I think the movie enhances its capabilities (if it’s real at all), I’m pretty sure this is what they’re nodding to.
I believe it all comes down to trusting one another, no matter what culture we are and that no matter what we are all of us are human beings that all have feelings, heart and souls. So are we together or not.
The bombs at the end werent actually nukes. If they were, the while city would be flattend. I know it's not relevant to the movie, but just a thing to think about.
Quite enjoyed the film itself, but hated the obnoxious music, especially the loud never-ending opening credits. Had to grab the remote to turn it down every time.
Im glad you covered all of the blue that showed up in the movie. Do you know what else was blue and has been getting attention over the past couple of months? The only things that didn't burn in those "wild fires" in Lahaina Maui Hawaii. Just pointing that out.
My conclusion at the end , -The little girl made it to the house. -Kevin Bacon told the two men that the Thornes most likely prepared for a bunker. -The mom saw the house in the woods from a distance & followed the bike trail with the girl. My guess is that this would be survival for them for years to come in that house & bunker. My only question is what happen to the Thornes who prepared for the bunker & what happen to the little girl’s mom ?
I read a comparison of the book to the movie, and it was stated that the Thornes got caught at an airport (somewhere like San Diego?) and never made it to the bunker.
The oil tanker: The White Lion was an English privateer operating under a Dutch letter of marque which brought the first Africans to the English colony of Virginia in 1619, a year before the arrival of the Mayflower in New England. Though the African captives were sold as indentured servants, the event is regarded as the start of African slavery in the colonial history of the United States.

Isn't it ironic that we're obsessed with figuring out the end of the movie, just as Rose in the film was obsessed with figuring out the end of Friends, yet missing the crux of the matter? It's amazing that no one has noticed it so far. The directors did a good job. The end of the movie is ultimately a mirror of our reality.
Spot on. Rose cares more about two fictional Characters rather then the main people in her life. Witch like you have stated is the case today. People care more about celebrities then each other.
Nope not ironic at all.

It’s almost like it’s a movie and people want to be rewarded for spending 2 hours of their time watching it. Movies are supposed to have endings, not be a statement piece
@@Jensen-Csays who?
@@Jensen-Chow often do you watch movies??? Because majority of them are statement pieces
Rose states, “No one ever listens to me.” She pointed out the ship getting closer, and then she is leading the line of the family running for their lives. Furthermore, she is the first to see the cluster of deer and is dismissed when she tries to tell them about the incident. Finally, she notices the Thorn house and says that they should go there. In the end, she knows ‘no one listens to her’ and decides to embark on her own. She leads the way again, and her reward is that she sees the finale - much as she has seen the ‘finale’ (the fall of the country) all along.
In the book Rose is incredibly strong and focused. This film is a disgrace
@@HuplesCat - I agree. She differs significantly in the book. My comment, as you noted, pertained to the film. In the novel, she was extremely perceptive and intuitive. She was a much stronger character in the tome.
@@ScoutsBoo615 I reviewed the book this week on my channel having avoided the film. Then I watched the film. I’m still in shock at how bad the film was with such promising raw material. Truly the director thinks the audience is very stupid and needs another action movie. The extended screaming by the very young Ruth and Amanda outside the shed did me in. Then the plane attack from Hitchcock? Sigh. My film review won’t be kind. What really surprises me is people looking for and finding Easter eggs in the film. Anyhow thanks for the chat
@@HuplesCat- I will watch your review. I just find it difficult not to see symbolism when viewing anything, good or bad or in-between. I’m sorry if I offended you with my commentary on the film; again, I agree with you that the characters in the film differed from the novel’s portrayal. I was just commenting on what I noticed.
@@ScoutsBoo615 I wasn’t at all offend. Life would be dull if everyone was me! Symbolism use$ rather than a deeply menacing plot without actual action!
To me the ending was so obvious. The women stopped and looked right at the house saying that they're going to check in there for her daughter. You could also hear them yelling for her outside the house before she went into the bunker. It's very quiet, but she stopped because she heard it. And the men said they had to find the bunker immediately, so they were clearly on their way to that house. I think it's evident that all of them are going to meet at the bunker... and eat all of that problematic food in the basement for years to come 😩
The food isn’t problematic. People who make it a problem are what’s wrong with this world.
@@c.f.875I think they meant the junk food maybe? But I think it's pretty obvious she found the junk food from the kitchen, and hadn't gone into the bunker yet? Actually me and my wife were afraid she was going to open the bunker door and then somehow trigger a security system that would lock everyone else out lol.

The movie is NOT about the end of the world, it's about the collapse of the United States! The ending of the movie being the young girl watching Friends is a nod to the "good old days" of the 90s, before 9/11 or the current chaos we are living through.
The old good days never existed that what was the movie about
nah , no way something like this remains just in our borders , it's an apocalypse film , you don't think it becomes a nuclear war ultimately , other countries get involved , it's over , this was just the beginning , you can always get comms back , this thing is going global but for this film they focused on the Usa in particular as an example but it could be any first world country
@@ross119 I lived through them, they existed. Let’s just agree to take care of each other no matter what the elites have in store for us
I felt it was just Americans, but if it could be done to the USA, PROMISE it can and will be done elsewhere. And final episode of Friends came almost 3 years after 9/11. HATE when people compare things to it, if they didn't witness or feel it when it happened. Allowed my opinion 😊
@@ross119 Ross..? Is that you?? Just tell the girl what happened w/you & Rachel so she’ll leave the bunker. She just has to know.

It's more of a attack of the American myth someone is coming to save you. Doesn't matter if it the cop's, the next president, the military, you name it noone is coming to save you when things go horrible wrong. When death is seconds away the cop's, the EMS or the military are minutes away. Technology has even made things worse because as a kid in the late 80s/90s if you broke down you were actually on your own with no cellphones to call anyone, no internet to tell you what to do. People today live in a reality bubble that will pop hard the minute something goes wrong
It's a movie.....
I'm I the only one who interpreted it as not the end of the world, but more so the end of the USA?
Yes. That is how I saw it. See my comments on this thread.
I agree. Even Danny said it looked like America's many enemies teamed up to rake us out. A very plausible scenario IMO...
Debt is what ends empires, not what's happening in the movie.
It seemed more apocalyptic.
The paranoia blaming other countries, if it led to NYC getting nuked rest assured USA leadership would also nuke foreign powers.
The way the animals acted.
My guess is aliens. Though I'd imagine hurling a rogue meteorite at earth would be more effective.
The end of USA pretty much would be the end of the world! Domino effect.
@trvth1s interesting theory. I saw the city get bombed but not nuked. I reckon the radiation alert was delibarmissing information, or perhaps leaked from cyber hacked/low maintenance nuclear plants of even the delivered by the drones. For true though, the resources need to pull off all that chaos is over kill just to get people to turn on their government.
For me, the movie reminds me of how much we rely on technology. Without it, ships and planes crashing, computers going haywire, instant communications disabled with no cell phone, TV, radio, or internet services, being lost without GPS services, etc. It will be survival of the fittest, prepared for unthinkable events. I think we rely too heavily on technology in this day and age.
Radio would still work. People can communicate across continents with radios. Satellite radio like in that car wouldn’t work if the satellite wasn’t working. But a normal analog radio would be fine.
And normal citizens do have radios that can do things like that. It’s a whole hobby for some people.
It absolutely would allow for people to speak to one another and allow for the government to communicate with the population.
Any car more than about 15 years old would generally be unaffected. Lots of home stereos would be umunpacted. Old televisions would still work.
The movie is bad science fiction dressed up to seem realistic.
The lack of communication is nonsense. The nuclear strike is nonsense. The kid’s teeth falling out is nonsense. The deer are obviously nonsense. I haven’t thought about what people would do that would impact “migration patterns” like that, but I think that was all nonsense and at best a red herring. The plan they showed with the passenger planes was nonsense. The flyers were nonsense.
@zero11010 I appreciate your comment and respect your opinion but would have to disagree on some things. Even though they are still useful, not all, but most people are phasing out or have already phased out antennas on their stereos, tv's and cars. (I do not think Teslas have AM/FM capability and that could be a trend with other car manufacturers.) Satellite and internet streaming have mostly taken over now. The point is that crucial information would be slow and a mass if people would be left out if our current communication technology were disabled. Plus, the current and ongoing advancements in A.I. could make the world a more dangerous and very scary place in the near future. A lot of our infrastructure could be disabled by foreign adversaries. But... that's just my opinion.
Sure without technology things change, but the twist of this film is that it’s not about weird lonely preppers, it’s about groups of people who trust and support one another and succeed.
Most apocalyptic shows are written by cynical hyperindividuals as a libertarian fantasy but this film is a lot more reasonable about the benefits of allies.
@@MixedCompany2020 I hear you. And I like the way you disagree!
Tesla sold 300,000 cars in 2020. That is out of 14.5 million units. That’s 2% of cars sold that year. The VAST majority of cars on the road are not Tesla and this is pretty much the ONLY company doing this.
The VAST majority of cars on the road are not new. The average car is 12.5 years old (284 million cars … half of them would have these radios). The average US salary is 58k and the average new car price is 48k. The average person isn’t buying a brand new car. For example virtually all dealerships sell both new and used cars. There are lots of dealerships that only sell used cars. And, people sell their own used cars.
Go to an intersection. Look for cars with a long radio antenna. Newer digital style antenna look like a little fin on the roof rather than the longer old school style.
Is it half the cars that still have those? I imagine it depends on where you are.
Plus … any radio with an antenna. You know not everyone is young, right? 17% of the US population is over the age of 65.
Contact 5 people you know over the age of 65. Ask them if they have any way to listen to the AM radio … I would bet you money they have classic cars, and/or old stereo equipment, and/or emergency radios, old portable radios.
Personally … the only thing in this category I have would be an emergency radio. These are commonly sold … for communication in emergencies. It’s one way. I can only listen. But, I do have a friend nearby who actually has a lot of radio equipment to listen to people from around the world.
Go ahead and google emergency radios. Most retailers that sell outdoor equipment will sell them.
This really isn’t rare.
If my emergency radio stopped working (battery, solar, and hand crank are options), I would go to a neighbor. I’m guessing virtually every home in my neighborhood with people over the age of 60 would have this kind of thing. Just looked out my window … I see 6 cars that are more than 15 years old and would have these radios. If that didn’t work I would look for ANY emergency vehicle. If that didn’t work I would look for any big rig style truck. They use CB radios for their daily communication.
I REALLY HOPE this becomes popular enough to make tech companies worried to make technology more ACTUALLY VERSATILE and independent.
When the girl tells her bro “because I care about them” (friends characters)- that’s IMHO the entire point. We Americans have learned to cope in a world of selfish narcissists by numbing out and bonding with fictional characters. Reading the comments here, proves the point.
Got rid of tv when it went digital. Changes everything.
That actually brought tears in my eyes. I was lacking a bit of sleep from the nights before. That is the best emotional setting to really feel the ups and downs actually haha.
But her depression and her parasocial bond, were expressed brilliantly in the script and her acting. I think all of us cared abput fictional characters, shed tears when they died or were hapoy for them succeeding. Be it books, movies or TV shows. I am unsure what exactly the point should be. But I guess maybe it is just that: fiction is culture and we care about our fictions. Maybe thats it.
The boy was THE ONLY ONE actually carrying about people, he asked about his girlfriend in the car ( which the response he got was "who?" ) and said "maybe you shouldn't", to his sister, about she carrying about series characters, who COMPLETELY IGNORED her family desperately shouting for her, to watch a series.
@@alamdaaliartesI disagree completely. The boy was a total jerk to his sister, like at the cabin, and different situations he kept telling her to shut up. I'm kind of glad He got sick lol
@@kbanghart this is so crazy. I dont think I encountered a movie or show, where people interpret plot elements so differently, like or dislike so many characters for different reasons. It is amazing.
I noticed the most that Rose noticed the boat , animals first and wanted to go to the house way before the family. Her brother and parents also seemed to brush her off. She tells her brother that no one cares what she thinks and he agrees. Finally she tells the story of the man that died and was upset at God, but God sent help. She said she was tired of waiting and left on her own. She noticed all the signs and didn't want to end up like the dude in her story. I thought that was part of the moral of the story.
This is produced by an ex president who resided in the west wing, where that story came from. Are you getting it yet? This movie is a message and literal gift from someone who cares deeply for the few who can understand it. Love thy neighbour. “I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to fall… and you’ll be there for me too” We are in the last chapter/episode before the big finale - End.
Yeah message was to go your own way trust your instincts like rose became a hero
Oh yeah, she did mention that story and her mom was even confused as to why did she bring that up and practically ignore her. Good point!
As a huge apocalyptic fiction reader (begging for a One Second After series), this movie was right up my alley and is what really scares me about society. We don’t need to be invaded. Take down a few systems and we’ll destroy ourselves. It wasn’t perfect, but they got the point across in subtle and not so subtle ways. Many aspects of the film have happened already on a much smaller scale. I encourage anyone that doesn’t “get it” to do some introspection. …puts tinfoil hat back in closet…
Loved one second after.... The story is fantastic... The authors writing style leaves something to be desired, but I still read the book several times. Listened to sequel here on the UA-cam
I completely agree! I don't agree w video when it says 'I believe all people would help each other' ........ TO ME that's a DREAM, and I'm wondering what world he's living in if he thinks there's more good than bad. Almost EVERYONE hides behind their internet screen, when if he and video and people are COMPLETELY honest W themselves, personally, I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD. I think MOST would ACT as Kevin Bacon character...... I'm for me and mine. Honestly, PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Wish it wasn't so, but, IMO.. it is.
It's already happening. It's been happening. Don't believe the coincidence theories that are being pushed out to explain everything away.
I loved the movie. Thought it was excellent.
At the end, Kevin Bacon told them to go to Thorne's bunker where Rose already was. In the car, G.H. confirmed to Clay they needed to go to that bunker. Amanda also saw the Thorne's residence and was going to find her daughter there before witnessing the explosion in the city. Rose heard her mother calling for her and was heading towards her mother before being distracted towards the bunker. So the movie gave us all the clues that they will all meet Rose in the bunker.
And Rose knew God was trying to show her the way to the house the whole time protecting her like thorns protect roses. (The door of the house was labeled "Thornes")
For real lol. It wasnt ambiguous at all I'm so surprised that many ppl are wondering
😂😂 we all know this
Am i the only one that thinks the daughter locked the door? I dont think she cares for her family. She thinks her family doesnt care for her.
But GH promised his daughter he would go back to get her as well as Clay going to go back for his family. I’m sure when they got back and they were missing, they went to look for them.
But would they have found the tracks leading to the house? I’m thinking yes
This movie was like a big episode of the Twilight Zone. And it was full of Easter eggs and wide open to interpretation.
This movie was definitely trying to tell us something
I think it was total disclosure, after all, BHO helped make this movie. Seems like movies these days reveal what is to come. Armageddon...
I thought of black mirror or a Jordan peele film
The Monsters are due on Maple Street
@alison4dice that's the one I have them in a PlayStation its a great episode
For this movie to be as slow paced as it was, I was never bored the only bad thing about this movie is they never actually answered anything I was upset at the ending but quickly realized the movie wasn’t really about the events happening but more about the characters and the dialogue between them
Like you said the movie isn’t about who is responsible. Imagine they answered it. Let’s say it was Russia. Does that make the movie better? I don’t think so.
Exactly, it wasnt about what was actually going on, just more about how we act as a society and an interpretation of how these specific people would react to everything based off their own situations. If people wamted a real apocoliptic movie with answers then Armageddon, Resident Evil etc is the movie for them lol
@@mariosargiropoulos1715yes. Explaining events is a key part in story telling. This movie was basically saying "lEtS gO AgAiNsT tHe gRaIn aNd mAKe aN aRtSy cRipTic MoViE."
It was a deep propaganda for smug rich leftwing people.
@@mariosargiropoulos1715yeah but we wabted answers.. like does the kid teeth keep falling out? Do the deer come back and start talking to them? What about them flamingos? Oh and let's not forget about that poor Hispanic lady!!? 😂❤
I believe that another way to think about the use of the color blue in relation to safety is that blue light is often emitted from media screens, our phones and TV's, which we often find comfort in on a daily basis. The whole premise of the movie was that we lose connection to those devices, or our outlets of comfort. The entire movie Rose was trying to get back to her media comfort and was able to find it in the end. It can be a metaphor how we have lost touch with the natural world and only find comfort in our devices. It's even interesting to see how Rose was happy watching Friends, while the whole country is in chaos--Screens over reality.
So cool how they added the dear scene. Radiation messing with everything, even the dear. Dears dont usually move in packs (they are prey), but in that scene the radiation made their brain think like predators (there being an alpha deer). Such a well detailed movie.
deer*
It was about "Pole shifting" as well, it messes up the electronic magnetism & eco location of animals moving around, hence why thise flamingos came to their pool & deer, plane & boat crashing because of the compass being off
Paul is one of the only UA-camrs that gives credit to other UA-camrs. My dude is classy and just appreciative of others. 👏
A lot of people seem to hate the ending, but I don’t think it’s terrible and it actually makes complete sense; the girl has her own perspective shown throughout the film, just like the mom and dad, while the Son is not as integral and shares a lot of time with the dad. It’s only fitting where it ended, as the movie isn’t about WHAT is going on and causing the “world to end” but HOW people act and treat each other. The movie starts off with Julia Roberts saying she hates people. Idk, I thought it was good. Just seems like people want things spoonfed rather than have to think about what they saw and come to their own conclusions.
Couldn't agree more
Well said. The showrunners respected the viewer to be able to think for ourselves and not lead us to a specific conclusion. It's the how not the what.
My issue with this movie is that the red herrings aren't used properly. Yes, there's an underlying message but an underlying message doesn't make a movie good. This was red herring the movie
Most people are acting like the teenage girl, wanting to be entertained and spoon fed what happened in the end…. Like the last episode of Friends😂…
I don't hate the ending camera I dislike the whole movie.. Figured halfway through, it was going to be a movie without a real ending.. that we all just end up fighting and the world. Kind of ends parade. And kevin bacon type people will fare better.... Then the half of the population that voted biden. Lol
Also, people who wanted a resolution didn’t get the film. There’s NO resolution. It’s over. Full stop. The girl was just focused on what would make her happy even though the world is over for her.
I just wanna know who was sleeping in the shed and what the noises were.
And realize that the youngest, the girl, has 'Netflix' on the TV remote control, so we could think: are they part of a trick, part of a bigger conspiracy against only them? or Can they watch themselves in the TV? Why so many DVDs and not a book or music references in the bunker? We need another magnificent ending.
@@wly725 GH needs to grab his record collection before heading for the bunker
@@TreyDongzzexactly what was the shed part about?
(Spoilers below)
Three things I noticed that I haven't heard anyone talk about yet.
1. When the Jenga toy block building that they are playing in the house falls in the beginning it is reminiscent of the 9/11 twin towers falling due to a terrorist attack which is heavily implied to also be a cyber terrorist attack in this film.
2. GH's daughter says that the other girl "keeps staring into the woods like Donnie Darko.” And there is a prior shot of the same clock that looks like a frowny sad face that is the exact same clock (type) that was used in the movie Donnie Darko. It was in Donnie Darko's living room I believe.
2. In the scene where New York is burning and the missiles are going off, the two characters stand in disbelief and grab each others hands as they silently watch the buildings fall. Sound familiar to anyone? Should "Where is my mind" by Pixies be playing during this scene? Because that's straight up Fight Club. And sure enough in one of the final shots in the film as the camera is zooming in on the wall that has the DVD collection, what movie do you see that stands out the most? Fight Club! Which was also a movie that was about how to take down and reset America (or a society) which is basically what this movie is also about but just in a different context.
Sam Esmail and Barack Obama are big film nerds and all these elements were intentional. Even the cinematography.
The fact that Barack and Michelle are producers of this movie is the scariest point of all!
Regardless what you think of the us presidents, talking to any ex-president about a doomsday scenario is incredibly smart imo.
The only ex-president who stayed in DC. And has certain connections.
Indeed, like those nice people in the Weather Underground.
@@LilyGazou🤫
The Obamas were the executive producers ...why not talk to them about the movie they are already producing.
Pfft. It's Obama. He was nothing but a teleprompter reader.
I actually didn’t mind the way it ended tbh. We stayed POV of two families the whole movie. I like the idea of inferring some things. My real issue was nobody sharing any info. At some point whether you’re half racist or scared or whatever, you’ll start to spill the info you have or what you thinking. Mahershala never telling his daughter was wild. I mean their kids teeth started falling out and that was first time you thought to go to the survivalist? Idk. I understood some parts, other parts it’s like dude ppl aren’t THAT stubborn haha
People on the left really are that stubborn though. 2020 was the perfect example. Lots of leftist cucks who had absolutely NO idea about all the “peaceful” riots for 3 months straight. But somehow can repeat every word spoken by the news on the “insurrection”
Yeah I think Mahershala Ali’s character withholding info was definitely for dramatization lol. I was fine with the ending as well, I knew 5 minutes into the movie it was going to be a “thinking” film and not a run of the mill disaster flick.
@@epcarter6yeah exactly. Knowing Esmail, and after they didn’t let us see anyone’s reaction except that families even after the oil tanker. It was obvious we weren’t going to get the typical apocalyptic movie which was fine with. We’ve seen those a thousand times anyway
I thought it was a decent resolve and wasn’t some crappy fake resolve I enjoyed it.
@@epcarter6yeah, The characters Revelation of the big plan was a bit silly, I mean most of us who are aware of what's going on in the world understand that people are talking about civil War all the time, civil unrest, etc.
The little girl was the wisest, most observant, saw the signs of the deer and tanker first, even the house with bunker she had seen from shed when her brother turned back, no one listened to her, hence her story to her mum about taking action and seeing the signs, so I thought it was great that she was the one who found the bunker and the movie ending with the words from Friends I’ll be there for you. And we can assume that they all ended up in the bunker at least. So it had some positive message too.
Wise? All she did was nkt care about her family, run away, binge eat candy, hear her mother desperately call for her and ignire it and only care about watching the end of Friends. The script makes sou d li,e she's wise but she was selfish and self absorbed AF.
@@IaneHoweI agree I really found her annoying. Frankly the whole family was.
@@IaneHowe She didn't care about her family because they didn't listen to or show that they cared about her. An ignored child will eventually rebel in some manner. She didn't ignore her family until it was clear to her that they were ignoring her.
@@IaneHowe I didnt see anything wise from her. She literally roamed around and entered a strange random house , further into the house entered a mysterious bunker , nothing about that was safe as a 13 year old.
Nah George was the wisest obviously, had the best idea of what was going on and what to do in in the circumstances, plus the dude had so much goodness in humanity he was so patient to deal with the family and protect them
The Ending of the movie for me was showcasing real life today. How people have become obsess with fictional characters. Rose did not care when bit about her family all. only cared about Rachel and Rose. The whole movie is about people really do not care about each other or have any trust.
Basically this movie has shown me that the more advanced technology we create the weaker all of us get
That's just a tiny part of it. There are deeper esoteric assessments and agendas being highlighted here.
I agree with the add on of mostly the mentality of how people are and what they do with technology to do bad things,,,
There are still a good amount of details/plot lines that are unanswered. This movie seem like a movie where nothing is included for the sake of it, which is why some of these unanswered questions are driving me mad lol. Everything seems very intensional, especially after learning about some of the deeper meanings/ references included in this film.
1. Why was Amanda in such a rush to get out the city at the start of the film? She booked the rental home and began packing whilst everyone was still asleep and unaware they were going on a trip. Also conveniently on the day of the blackout?
2. Why did two planes crash in the exact same spot? Weird, no?
3. Why did all the news notifications on Amanda’s phone completely disappear?
4. What was up with the human imprint in the leaves in the shed? Ik the son made up the story to scare his sister but it made the viewer expect something to come of this story (as it does look like someone has been sleeping there) or for something to happen later in the film but it never does.
5. Why were the kids “unfazed” after the ship crashes on the beach? Amanda mentions this to Clay which implies there could be a deeper meaning to this but again, nothing is mentioned in the film.
6. Kinda ties into the fifth point but why doesn’t no one talk about what happens when they’re separated? When G.H sees the planes, he only plans on telling Amanda and no one else. The kids don’t talk about finding the shed. Clay doesn’t mention the woman he saw in the street until much later on in the film. Found it weird that they where all keeping things to themselves.
There’s probably more that I haven’t mentioned but this is the list I have from memory
Forget the girl keep mentioning the power house
I hope this movie teaches people the value of physical media again! 🤞😬🤞
And solar panels.
It baffles me that so many people are confused about the ending. G.H. literally explains in detail what is happening, and you see NYC being bombed. Simple. Great movie, really looking forward to a 2nd viewing.

I deal with thousands of people a year whether it is in a retail setting, consulting setting, family setting or casual everyday interactions.

The character, Rose's, fixation on the show, Friends, to me, is indicative of how humans focus on things with no substance that do not serve us in any way. We are conditioned, brainwashed, and bamboozled and are completely blind to the fact that while we are focused on bullcrap, we should be preparing. Kevin Bacon's character is indicative of the prepared vs. the unprepared! When the time comes, and IT WILL, those who have prepared will certainly have to protect themselves from those who have not! The character, Clay, states the most reviting lines in the entire movie, " ...I have no idea what I am supposed to do right now. I can barely do anything without my cellphone and my GPS. I am a useless man...." Humans are extremely codependent on devices/technology. Who has an actual paper map these days? Can anyone name at least 5 people who have a bunker with stocked food, supplies, amo, medicine, etc! During the trial run that they pulled on us with that lockdown, there was a lack of food and supplies, and it seems to have taught us NOTHING! We were so focused on "getting back to normal" that we missed the whole point!! We came out of it, adjusted to the new normal, and are as screwed as we were before the PLANdemic. When I try to talk to my family about preparing, they are only focused on the distractions that the elite have set before us, sports, clothes, sneakers, cars, rappers, so-called stars and all of that bullcrap!! So, I'm doing it alone! It's difficult, but I'm doing it!! The message to me was PREPARE before it's too late!!
Btw, I believe they all made it to the bunker.
Exactly 💯. In summary, mankind is unteachable! The only thing we learn from history is ............ NOTHING!
Crazy, isn't?
Unless you're wealthy, have land or you can build it yourself a bunker is not happening for 90% of Americans, I don't know anyone with a bunker. The best average people can do is stock up on food, water and ammo. If you live in the city things are definitely going to be more challenging. As for myself I started stocking up on food...way back in 2014, something about the world seemed different.
Very well stated, precisely my view as well. We are blinded by the shiny things, and have no idea on how to live without them unfortunately, I don't have a bunker nor know anyone who does. So I'm screwed.
Thank God for rednecks! Lol
I wish I lived near you lol. We could brainstorm. I feel the same. No one takes this seriously.
No one is talking about how the painting in the living room changed several times throughout the movie 😱
That’s what I noticed too!
I will catch on rewatch, thank you!!!

@@lizlilliman3644 whaaaat? Now I have to recheck the bedroom 😮
I've posted this in 3 other videos breaking down this movie. I thought I may as well post it here as well...
I haven't seen anyone connect the dots with the girl's story about the man who believed in God. The end of that story is, "I sent a message, I sent a boat and I sent a plane (all things that happened in the movie). What more did you want?" Only the youngest, most innocent character in the movie (who was largely ignored by everyone else) was saying that it was all a message. She alone felt drawn to the fully stocked bunker--a place of refuge and plenty. The last words of the movie are, "I'll be there for you".
To those who say she is selfish are missing out on the point that all of the other people in the movie were ignoring her. She tried to tell them they were being given a message but nobody even cared to ask what she thought. Many accuse her of abandoning her family when it her family that abandoned her. And it doesn't take a leap of imagination to believe after watching the last episode of Freinds that she doesn't pedal her bike back ro the others and lead them to the bunker. After all--Danny had told them it was there as well. She was just the first of them to find it.
Interesting. I haven’t seen it yet.
$20 says the mom gets there 5 minutes before the end and turn off the TV. Then is dumbfounded why the kid breaks.
She died of radiation poisoning though
Her name being Rose and the house belonging to the Thorns!! Thorns protect roses, right? God was looking out for her! He would be there for her when no one else was. Maybe not the message the producers wanted to give but hey, God can and does speak using any and everything. I see Rose as being hope.
Those involved with the demonic occult are required to tell you what they're doing. They also do it without actually telling you what they're doing. Get my drift? This movie is full of them telling us things.
Explain this further
lol yes the cabal must always tell us their secrets in popular movies. 😂

@lukefriesen If at this point in time, you still can't see and understand what this commenter means, then "explaining" it to you will be a waste of time and energy. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Wake up, look around and and think!!!
I also noticed the name of the ship White Lion along with 1619 several times within the movie. A lot of moving parts but I think a lot people ignore or miss some key symbolism which explains a lot about the times we live in.
But what does white lion symbolise or what’s its meaning? I also noticed that.
@clemrose9720 The White Lion was the first slave ship that landed on this continent in 1619 at Point Comfort Virginia. The movie symbolically is much deeper than the Heavy Spoilers interpretation. Also the constant infacise on the colors red white and blue! And history repeating itself. Along with our addiction to technology.
Most people don’t know that 1619 was when American slavery started.
@@pokemercenary6511 Because it started at a minimum in 1526. But hey why be remotely accurate. It's not like S. Carolina or Sapelo Island Georgia or Florida are part of America. Too subtle for you?
@@jantzfitzgerald6115yes but I think everyone refers to 1619 because the British trading of slaves began and it lasted a lot longer. The Spanish brought slaves but they rebelled and ran off. That settlement failed.
I loved so much how the steps George explained were practically the same steps that Yuri Bezmenov explained about the 'steps to destablize' which the Soviet Union planned to use on the United States of America during the Cold War.
It was honestly the thing that made me love the movie, even before watching the movie, I already researched and understood and was fascinated by the steps that Bezmenov gave, and just watching this movie made me enjoy it so much more.
Thought the same thing. Subversion
No Soliciting signs are common in the US, usually in more affluent neighborhoods. Before I bought one, we'd get 3-5 people ringing the doorbell each week trying to sell their services. The first time I answered the door, the guy talked for 5 minutes about his pest control service before I said we're actually in here discussing a death in the family, and he said he'd come back in an hour. Like wtf. That's what prompted me to buy a sign.
lol wtf… When they knock on my door, I open it and then very slowly close it as they keep talking.
@@daudimasinde6280no reason to be rude. Just politely say no. Your childish.

I bought a no soliciting sign too after we were visited by a pest control company during the pandemic. The anger I felt for that unnamed company was palpable. We are so inundated with advertising on all media platforms that when someone actually comes to your door, it feels like an invasion. I've always thought that if I really wanted a product, I would go purchase it. I don't need to be hyper aware of what is out there, especially if it involves coming to my door.
Really? You let him stand there and talk for 5 minutes. that's 300 seconds of non-stop talking. You didn't interject, gesture 'stop' with your hand, or just close the door in his face? Press X to doubt.
I’m really surprised that people hadn’t already thought about this. Me and my friends talked about this scenario for decades. One good strike at the power grid and no internet or phones, it’s going to be Lord of the Flies within a day. And don’t expect countries to come help us out, because we don’t have that type of good will in the world.
Except the power was always on and water

@@Skabanisever hear of backup generators that also run the well?
So a couple of nights ago, anyone who lives in NYC (and even parts of Jersey) most likely saw their lights flicker on and off a couple of times. That was because there was an explosion at one of the power plants all the way in Brooklyn. Imagine if somebody really did strike a power plant that could reach the entire city and a whole other state. 😩 I totally agree that it’s pretty scary.

I always wondered why the Mr Robot Channel was still active. If this movie is based in the same world as Mr Robot, then I’m sure he’ll make more ties in other movies. Quietly making his own ‘universe’

Was I the only one who noticed the house at the end had a hallway entirely red? While the house in the beginning was completely blue? I caught onto this after they mentioned the civil war part
Good find
Interesting how at 32minutes in they speak about the wife who is the art dealer and why there aren't pictures on the wall of the family diverting your attention to think about art on the wall and the artwork changes throughout the movie,and the map at 34 minutes has QR CODE hidden in it to the right of the map for a split second then goes blurry.

I really like how in this movie when everything went wrong everyone did find away to bond and become closer rather than immediately turn in each other. I mean it did start off rocky but they came around at least lol.
So happy to see this breakdown Paul!! I watched this movie and man it has stuck with me. I personally loved it.
What was there to love about it? It ended and they never really showed or explained what really happened. It had a great cast but that was just about it
@@shauniiii961 So, you think if this happened to you, someone would explain things to you before you‘ll end up lost or dead? Not knowing shit when things go down is pretty realistic and therefore feels all the way more scary.

@2lipToo its predictive programming. In the elites religion, it says they have to warn us of coming catastrophes so their god cant hold them responsible.
The ending made me grin. I was expecting more standard solution and this was just perfect. In a hopeless state that the world is in, something like that truly warms my heart
the message of survival through community was apt for these times (and every time). I loved this film
Major props for giving credit to Think Story. You're a classy guy, Paul. Great breakdown.
Movie was littered with symbolism. The thing is most of us will choose to ignore it. I don’t want to be bleak but there are dark times coming on the horizon
Yes, so true!
Please elaborate
It seemed more suited for a series than a movie.. a bit overwrought

Hopefully this gives Esmail the recognition he deserves and allows him to create more movies and TV Shows. Mr.Robot is a work of art and genius, one of the few shows in recent memory to really have something to offer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so it has become an annual tradition to watch all 4 seasons at Christmas.
When the kid loses his teeth that implies they've all been radiated... They are all dead already by the end.

This movie actually made me think of Gaza. What Gazans are experiencing isn't that far off from this: disconnect from the rest of the world, massive destruction and death, bombs showering on them. Yet they practice solidarity and compassion with each other nonetheless.
People forget that Hamas literally started the attack when they invaded an Israel musical festival full of thousands of people. They came in on gliders, attendees thinking it was all part of the show. Until they opened fire and gunned down hundreds of innocents. That’s when Israel had enough and decided to fight back. Also blame Hamas for putting their military compound underneath a hospital full of civilians. Really dumb on their part. They purposefully set up a base there thinking ain’t no way Israel will attack a hospital full of innocents. How wrong they were. And then they use their own people as meat shields. Completely fkd up.
@@eden20111 Dude I gotta tell you, Hamas retaliated because of Israel terrorism and occupation, look out when was Israel founded and when was and why Hamas founded. You need to read more and perhaps go to the West Bank to experience Israel's apartheid first hand.

I want to know why the full wall image behind the master bed changes from the beginning to the middle. In the beginning, the water in the image is just above the headboard. Later (possibly around chapter 'the flood'),, the water is much higher above the headboard.
Now you're going to make me watch the movie again. I didn't register that point.
I noticed that, too. The water/waves were higher each morning with the waves bigger and appearing rough. I’m sure Esmail intended this symbolism to mean something.
You don't realise how much you rely on technology until you don't have it. We were switching our network provider and without warning they cut us off from the network. Imagine waking up with none of your devices working, no idea what's going on, no tv you can check because all of the channels are out, and no phone to check the news because you don't have any WiFi or mobile data. The scariest part isn't the games you can't play or videos you can't watch, but the fact that you have no idea what's going on, and that you're cut off from the world with no one to communicate with.
I’m a huge fan of Mr. Robot and when Ruth mentioned the power plant in NJ reminded me of Elliot in the washington township power plant.
Since you asked, the plural of Deer is Deer. It’s a Native American word that comes from a language that doesn’t use plural nouns. Also why the plural of Moose is Moose.
The real message was buy physical media because you just never know when you can’t access your digital library. 😊
It's funny how different people take different things from the movie like an art piece. For me, Mahershala Ali's character is an allegory for how an African-American/black man must operate to survive in this world. He turns his code switching role on when he has to appear non-threatening and extremely passive in his own home. Like we see in the news or on the internet, things can go south quickly even when you are in your own home (look up Henry Louis Gates Jr.incident). Once things get into high gear, he turns his code switching off and is willing to protect those he has formed a bond with. You want his character on your side no matter what situation you're in. Lastly, whenever I see kids characters in movies nowadays, I'm like the screen writer doesn't remeber being a kid or has never been around children ever. Either the kids are written as a lot wiser than the adults or foolishly "brave." Every parent knows that when there is a scary situation, even the "bravest" child runs to the safest adult (ex. Watching a scary movie). Weeks or even years of sleeping with a night light, bedroom door open and/or the dreaded sleeping in the same room with parents....ugh..one of most parents'worst nightmare...lol!
Yes! the nod to slavery and civil war was somewhat hidden but the ships name was "White Lion" which was the first ship to bring slaves to America and the radio station in the car was tuned to 1619 which was the year that boat brought slaves to America. The house was set up like a slave ship with the white people above and the black people in the basement which looked like the bottom of a ship. I havent heard what the shed represents. Maybe Uncle Toms Cabin. So interesting.
Of the Henry Louis Gates Jr. incident:
Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested by Officer Crowley upon returning home from a trip to China, to find the front door to his home had been jammed shut from an apparent burglary. Gates later revealed during a National Press Club luncheon that he had met with Crowley for a beer prior to the Beer Summit at the suggestion of President Bill Clinton. Gates said that he was 'moved' when Crowley told him "Professor, all I wanted was to go home to my wife at the end of the day." Gates further recounted that Crowley 'had feared that ANOTHER BLACK MAN had been upstairs who could at any moment have come down and killed him.'...🙄 Gates said he was 'moved to tears' upon hearing that..😒
Imagine being 'moved to tears' (instead of anger) upon hearing someone say they feared being killed by a (nonexistent) Black man based on you're being Black, after they'd arrested you for trying to get into your own home?✨
The code-switching of Ali's character 'George' Scott & his need to appear extremely docile for the Sanfords in his own home grated me throughout the movie because it came at the expense of his daughter, whom he should've been putting first. She (rightfully) expressed her discomfort at entertaining those strangers in their home, but he was so willing to accommodate them, he re-accepted them back into his home after they returned & then, he continued to make his daughter sleep in the basement rather than her own room upstairs, just to set those strangers at ease. Later, when she practically begged him not to leave her, (or at least not to separate from her), George, a potentially widowed father, was so compelled to be there for another family that he left his grieving daughter to fend for herself with renewed fears of possibly losing her last remaining parent. As a Black person, this stuck out to me in a very unsettling way... It made sense why his name was 'George', since there was a time when Black men in service positions, expected to be accommodating to members of the dominant society, were often called by the name 'George', despite it not being their actual name. The guy pulled a hand gun on an armed survivalist he'd once considered to be his friend & was nearly shot for his efforts, giving no consideration of how his daughter would've been impacted had he not returned. I felt that had the Scotts & the Sanfords all been of the same race, then George's priorities may have centered on protecting what was left on his own family, rather than risking it all for someone else's. Dr. Claud Anderson would classify his actions as being 'inappropriate behavior', a learned response cultivated by existing under centuries of White/Elite supremacy. I think George was a perfect example of how many of us act against our best interests when it comes to dealing with people outside our own race. I think this also explains why the Sanfords didn't refuse sleeping in the master bedroom or offer to take the basement even AFTER they'd returned to George & Ruth's home from the Tesla incident, which is what most people would've done under the circumstances. The Scotts didn't have to let them back in, so it would've made sense for the Sanfords to come back with some humility.

@@corlenajames1381You made some good points that didn’t occur to me before (about where they slept after they came home), but I saw Mahershala Ali as the more humane, intelligent, and intuitive adult compared to his daughter. Intuition goes far deeper than race in interpreting who is a danger/ threat and who is not. If you’ve known all colors during your life, you know that there are both predatory people and safe people in every different color. I have to say Julia Roberts was the most annoying woman who seemed ridiculously like a fake representation of a human. I’m sure they exist, women like her, but I was more on the level of Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali. Just humans, trying to solve a problem.
@@ambermoon719 Julia Roberts' character was confusing to me. One minute she's taking charge and next minute demanding her husband take action. I despised Ethan Hawke's weak, bumbling character and the bratty rich b1tch race-conscious daughter who in reality would've been much more privileged than the vast majority of "white" teenagers her age. And do most teenage boys masturbate over very tame sunbathing pics of girls with stupid tats?
👏 Loved that you shouted out another review page I love. Think Story is a good channel
This is the world. The oil tanker was coming and no one moved until it was about to come ashore. They couldn't believe this giant boat wasn't gonna stop.
"White Lion" was the name of the ship to bring the first captive Africans to North America (Virginia). Also, is that really a nuclear explosion over NYC? Where was the flash if they were that close to the city? I think it was a power plant in Queens exploding.
Also on the radio when Ethan hawke was in the car the station wa 1619 and I though it would mean something and looked it up and its a book about the slaves ships coming to America.
Saw a comment saying it could've been a dirty bomb. Definitely way too small for a nuke
@@otterino1419yea that’s what I assumed
“White Lion” was an English ship (carrying a Dutch marque: NY was a Dutch colony btw). It landed in 1619 at Point Comfort, Va, now Hampton VA. The film takes place in The Hamptons, NY. The town in the movie is also Point Comfort. On the drive to the house, the other location on the highway sign was Fort Mose Road, referring to Fort Mose in St Augustine, Florida. It was established by Spain as the first legally recognized settlement for free blacks escaping plantations in the English colonies of Georgia and South Carolina. To me it read as a kind of foreshadowing and counterpoint of the racial subtext.
In a simple way, I saw the deer as wanting food, when humans feed wild animals how they tell each-other and the next day tons show up. I think maybe someone had been feeding them so when they saw people they were all like “ooooo treats!” But also a nod to the animals seeing us as help. There is no way they knew things were happening. However when the bombs started dropping, that seems like thats when they were spooked, while Amanda and Ruth were in the cabin. Just thoughts. I loved the film. And i really don’t get some of the hate it’s getting. But maybe people wanted Aliens. Lol. I kinda did too but loved the result. The end to me was hope. Her brother said “you’ll never see that last episode now” and he was wrong and a bit of a jerk to her.
I could give you a very long list. Just look for my comments. I thought it was terrible. The ending was actually one of the best parts. It was smart and to the point. It was the rest of the movie chock full of pretentiousness, red herrings, and especially the terrible plot devices that I hated.
I didn't want aliens. In fact I thought this was going to be some kind of kidnapping/escape type movie. I had no clue what it was about and at first I thought maybe Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon had something going on because of the knowing look between them that ended up being a deceptive misdirection much like the father and daughter being soooo suspicious and then wagging a finger at us for thinking the black people are suspicious. They were ACTING suspicious. And the young people were walking stereotypes. And the teeth falling out was just stupid, but not as stupid as the whole "I NEED MEDICINE FOR MY BOY" trope and the miraculous blue pill that we're supposed to think will save him I guess? I don't know. That was left to interpretation which was fine since it was one of the rare instances that we weren't slapped in the face with obvious metaphors.

Yup, watching it now and I'm making sure to not get entertained. But rather mentally notate. Obama said he added experience from his presidency into the movie. Basically stuff he's not been allowed to speak on publicly, so why not add it in a movie and deem it as "entertainment" & "art". Ya know??

@@Fattyfatfatty6 Closure. Now, move on.
I think Rose left them (family) behind. She complained how she’s not important and ignored. This isolation made her more perceptive. Given her age, it would not be a stretch to assume she’d lock herself in the bunker (even if she heard them calling) due to their treatment of her and her desire to “give it all up” or whatever she said in bed after telling the tale of the man and the flood.
I also lean towards this opinion given how her first instinct when finding shelter was to eat all the food. She has no instinct for preserving her or her family's life, she wants to distract and eat herself to death. That's the sad reality of how screen addiction can impact children, before we even get to the treatment aspect she just fundamentally prioritizes comfort over preservation. And I think the metaphor she made was essentially that she's gonna jump on the first rescue opportunity rather than wait for all the signs of doom to manifest.
I'm done waiting is what she said right, I am on my 2nd watch of the movie tonight as last night made me feel almost annoyed at not knowing and that feeling I love yet is a phobia at the same time. I feel they are simply showing you what to expect, I mean if you can't see the signs then for me you need your head examined.

I thought the movie is a massive message of likelihood. Kind of freaked me out a bit as it feels as if it could happen at any minute without sounding like a scared wet fart. Hope your good.
She never closed the door and the mother where outside of the house and the dads where going there. So no.
In the end let’s be real when stuff starts hitting the fan we all don’t know if we are going to make it you can hope and have faith period 💯
A STORE called The Huxleys??? It’s moments like this that make me question if you’ve even seen the thing you’re talking about?!? It was a HOUSE… the owners are The Huxley’s! We see interior shots… the family is referenced by the characters! It’s the house where the BUNKER is!!! How did you come up with STORE?!?! 😮
People are collectively good until the food and water run out. Then everyone turns into beast and you'd better follow the rules laid out early in The Walking Dead.
I think it's obvious they make it to the bunker, and ridiculous that so many people even have to question it. The ending isn't meant to be left up to interpretation, it's literally EVERYONE'S next destination.
I totally agree! Danny just told the guys about the bunker and the girls are heard outside the house yelling for Rose, so they definitely end up in the bunker!🙄
Agreed, filmmakers would have made a clip or her closing the shelter door or something if the end is NOT that like 5 min after she put on the movie, they all show up
In my opinion, part two would be fitting. I dislike how some of M. Night Shyamalan's movies, such as “The Happening” and “Lady in the Water” end, leaving the story up to interpretation. John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” are examples of how that style is masterfully done.
No your completely wrong, it’s all meant for interpretation. The whole family could’ve died from radiation before they made to the house or rose could’ve locked herself in the bunker. To think the ending was just black and white is foolish
@@daveagard1884You really want to go there? Here's the thing, bucko- since you want to get "technical", and resort to name calling.
Common sense aside, allow me to elaborate on some details for you to wrap your "superior" head around;
Rosie's Mother Amanda & Ruth were mere moments away from entering that house themselves in their ongoing search to find her. If it had really been left to interpretation as to whether or not Rosie did/ didn't decide to close the door behind her rather than suggesting her keeping the door open as common sense would dictate, than the director would have shown something to indicate the possibility of that decision as soon as she'd entered the safe room. Instead, we see her investigating the room with the door open- before finally sorting through the massive assortment of DVD's, and discovering"Friends" amongst the collection. She immediately sat down, and began watching the final episode from the beginning. The episode in question is 48 minutes long, and given her obsession with the show it stands to reason that once the episode had begin playing, she'd continue watching it uninterrupted. Meaning, she's going to stay in that exact spot in front of the television until the aformentioned runtime is up. Rosie has demonstrated that she's selfish, sure. But when exactly did she demonstrate a lack of intelligence? Yes, there's plenty of food, and water for her to survive alone- but surely she's not incompetent enough to lock her family out, and leave herself vulnerable to whomever actually owns the bunker should they return. Much less, any problems she may face without adult help therein. And though George, Clay, & Archie were a little further than a hop, skip, and a jump away from the bunker than Amanda & Ruth were- the context of their last conversation before panning back to Rosie confirms it to be their next destination, and HEAVILY implies their being reunited with the rest of the group shortly after Amanda & Ruth get their themselves. Yes, anything could happen- they could crash into a tree, or be ambushed by fellow survivors on their way. HOWEVER, that's NOT what's being suggested here. All signs point to everyone getting there. Rosie just happened to get there first. NOWHERE is it implied that her locking herself in the bunker is a possibility. And all of the evidence listed above actually points to the contrary.
I'm not scared by movies very often, aside from a jump-scare. This movie absolutely terrified me. I thought it was a better version of the one with Marky Mark running from wind, but to find it was just the modern The Day After broke my brain.
I liked it. I’ve lived through state failures (not the same extent, but still) and I think the film captured the vein of disinformation that runs through situations like that. There are no real answers and at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter.
Disinformation is the key. After 9-11 the media showed scenes of middle east people dancing. I guess Iraqis as that would be the intended target from the 90's. No truth (just dancing from a wedding) but peoples critical thinking was not working. Crying fire in the theater is criminal because behind confined and having a fire is fatal and no one will question the information. The pandemic and so called scientific facts showed this. There were 'facts' from MSM and then facts or just data from scientific journals. I am beginning to see the value in a short wave radio to at least get raw observations from a lot of people in the case of an emergency.
Ah yes, the local McDonald's closing down could be terrifying but isn't really a "state failure". 😂
@@gg-mercenary7104right😂
@@gg-mercenary7104 😬 I’m from Venezuela. I’ve lived through weeks of state and gang violence with no electricity or water in urban areas. It’s not the extent of the film or even areas like Yemen or Syria, but still qualifies as a failed state. At least intermittently.
@@alejandromartinezmontes6700 definitely, you got me there. That would be a failed state. I'm sorry, I thought you was some whiney ass privileged American complaining.
Was waiting for u to do this
This movie should be a wake up call for everyone.
I thought Julia Robert's suspicions were valid in the beginning. I want to know what "the noise" was. That was wild! Also what was up with the radioactive tick that bit the son? Ticks were made into a lyne disease bioweapon in America in the 70s and got out of the lab and into the wild around that time m, so maybe it was a nod to this. Also what was up with the indentation of a man in the leaves within the shack?
That thing about the tick bioweapons is not true. It's a very old, very lame conspiracy theory that was promoted a few years back by a very old, very lame conspiracy theorist who had no first-hand evidence, he just believed it to be true even though there were no evidence, just like every other old lame conspiracy theory.
Look up Havana Syndrome and neuro-weapons. While I think the movie enhances its capabilities (if it’s real at all), I’m pretty sure this is what they’re nodding to.
I think the tick was nothing, just there to throw the viewers off, the noise was explained in the movie
I believe it all comes down to trusting one another, no matter what culture we are and that no matter what we are all of us are human beings that all have feelings, heart and souls. So are we together or not.
This is not an end of the world story. It's an end of the United States story.
The bombs at the end werent actually nukes. If they were, the while city would be flattend. I know it's not relevant to the movie, but just a thing to think about.
great video!!!
Interesting, weren't the blue umbrellas and blue roofs in Hawaii not burned?
Yep
Hahaha i was waiting for "da bu dee da bu die" and you totally delivered, thank you Paul!
I’m 4 minutes in and I’m gonna stop here and go watch it and get back to ya 😉😁
Quite enjoyed the film itself, but hated the obnoxious music, especially the loud never-ending opening credits. Had to grab the remote to turn it down every time.
Im glad you covered all of the blue that showed up in the movie. Do you know what else was blue and has been getting attention over the past couple of months? The only things that didn't burn in those "wild fires" in Lahaina Maui Hawaii. Just pointing that out.
3 conspiracy theorists walk into a bar……..
That can’t just be a coincidence!
I think it’s a blend of pessimism and optimism. Sure, they most likely made it to the bunker, but George’s wife definitely didn’t.
That is called realism.
It's a blend of boring and garbage storytelling.
@@Retalakthere was nothing real about that movie
@@aztech101lakeep on hating then. Fire movie imo. Way up there with my favorites I feel like. If its not your cup of tea so be it.
@@wasdadennlos then you have horrible taste.
My conclusion at the end ,
-The little girl made it to the house.
-Kevin Bacon told the two men that the Thornes most likely prepared for a bunker.
-The mom saw the house in the woods from a distance & followed the bike trail with the girl.
My guess is that this would be survival for them for years to come in that house & bunker. My only question is what happen to the Thornes who prepared for the bunker & what happen to the little girl’s mom ?
I read a comparison of the book to the movie, and it was stated that the Thornes got caught at an airport (somewhere like San Diego?) and never made it to the bunker.
The oil tanker: The White Lion was an English privateer operating under a Dutch letter of marque which brought the first Africans to the English colony of Virginia in 1619, a year before the arrival of the Mayflower in New England. Though the African captives were sold as indentured servants, the event is regarded as the start of African slavery in the colonial history of the United States.
