Random Question, Amanda. What cat-featuring films would you review? i mean.. films that has a real cat as a silent sidekick or constantly a concern for the protagonist? like how there's that one cat in A Man Named Otto/Ove?
@@kinyacat5919 most modern movies usually have an animal understudy. In the event one of the animals gets sick or needs to decompress they can continue the shooting schedule with little disruption. I don't recommend you research the history of the use of animals in film if harm to animals is a trigger. If you don't want to, or can't, look for yourself just know it used to be horrific and now it's not as bad.
Also, cats aren’t that trainable, so you usually need a cat for each job. One cat, who is good at lying still, one cat who is boss at walking somewhere on demand, etc
the cat actually did take me out of the movie/suspense quite a lot: not making sounds, getting lost and them getting back like no problem, cat not being scared and hiding forever
I had a bit of that stress at the beginning too, but I'm starting to get the impression that most directors will only, uh, take out animals or small children at the start of the movie, if at all, because people just hate seeing it and it feels like a cheap source of tension. Most of the time. (I still haven't seen Bird Box because what happened to the dog in the book still gives me nightmares. Same deal with Knock at the Cabin.)
them deleting the scenes with josephs character is insane, the whole time im telling my friend "i think hes just following her and the cat cuz he has given up and the cat is all he has now" and i was literally correct- i wish they had kept that scene cause without it it makes it confusing why he is the way he is and you have to infer instead
@@ssharkbait no not rlly- it can be easily inferred cause that’s a normal response from anyone in an apocalypse but the extra scene confirms and specifies it in a way the rest of the film simply does not- it’s not hold handing it’s character development
I love seeing the animals these days on the step and repeats. They did it for the new Sabrina, they also had the kitty from Ms Marvel do an interview, and even the actor who okayed Dog pool did the step and repeat and was at the premier 🩵😹
My theory on why the Death Angels don't kill when hearing beating hearts is because after a while, they distinguish sounds of nature from much louder external noises. So noises like insects crawling, sounds of rain, and other noises, like human and animal heartbeats they understand are natural parts of the world they've entered. Unless that heartbeat makes an external noise, they'll not go for the kill.
@mrdavman13 I actually hardly ever watch movies or TV at all. But Amanda the Jedi videos, ALWAYS! So 95% of the time, I watch her review things, knowing full well that I will never actually watch it myself, as is the case with this movie. Her personality and charisma are just top-tier, and I truly love her content. When certain media becomes popular enough, I am able to pick up enough breadcrumbs to at least develop a somewhat reasonable understanding of the premise and plot, so I can still appreciate her analysis and opinions.
Yeah no, I don’t even trust my cat to survive one day outside without any real threat. And his favorite activity is yelling in the middle of the night just for drama
My girl also yells in the middle of the night 😂 usually because she has a ball or gnome toy and everyone must see it. She’s very proud of her catch. It’s been 6 years and she’ll never not want to show us all between the hours of 10PM-2AM.
@@TheBaconcapes that's adorable! My son also comes with his toy to drop it on my pillow at 3am so I can play fetch with him. It's very inconvenient timing cause I'm just a human who sleeps at night, but it's so freakin cute, I can't be mad at him 🥹
My chatty tuxie yells constantly, and sometimes it's in English! He says Mama, hello, and my mother swears she heard him say bull sh*t. He was upset cause we wouldn't let him outside. He has no survival instincts and wants to be friends with everyone (including the cats that would rather claw his face off.)
I've got three. They'd all get me killed, but in different ways. One would just immediately vocally complain. The second would not say anything but would accidentally knock something over - or just fall off of something, the giant, ungraceful dummy. The third would also not say anything but would knock all the things over ON PURPOSE.
I forgot to say that I love them more than life itself. I do, very much so, I'm just very aware of their extremely individual personalities. They're actual siblings - from the same litter, even! - but they couldn't be more different from one another. Okay, cat babble over! Just worried that my original comment didn't get the love across properly. You know, in case they ever learn to read and use the internet.
god that backstory of Quinn's character would've made the movie so much more compelling. that's such an interesting set up. two people at the end of the world, one recently wanting to purposely die, the other having no choice but an imminent death. instead we got a bunch of shit just happening
Just a note on your hospice comment- you can be on hospice care and still have your own place! My grandpa had in-home hospice care at the end, and it was just a little hospital bed and machinery setup in his apartment, with a nurse who'd come and care for him for a certain amount of time a day (my aunt was there the rest of the time). He even had his little chihuahua with him, too.
I could also imagine, if she's got a place on rent control, she might have been trying to figure something out and getting the apartment over to someone else as just an F-U to the landlords.
Yeah, en d of life care can and often does happen in-home. I think its actually the most common hospice, but its not talked about as widely as facility hospice so people don't know about it
As someone who lives near and spent a lot of time in the city, I'm not sure New Yorkers have the capacity to be quiet. I can just hear the cavalcade of swear words they would all IMMEDIATELY begin yelling at the aliens.
I know we prefer our queer representation out in the open and its a shame a scene was deleted that implied Eric's sexuality BUT that being said there is no greater representation of queer identity than that run Eric did off the pier for Frodo. Spoke louder than any other scene could
A lot of people still remember that word being used as a slur and aren’t comfortable with their sexual orientation being blanket labeled with a word that has so much dark memories with it. It’s fine if you like to call yourself that, but could you please not mass label every gay or bi person with that word? 💗
Queer?? girl most lgbt community has taken the word back (like im queer and am yet to meet someone who hasnt taken it back already) are you lgbt and struggle witht he word?? !! cuz im pretty sure op is also queer and feels weird to be telling a queer person not to use a word they identify with @@RayneClouds
@@RayneClouds there are also a lot of people who have had that word used against them that are happy to see it be reclaimed in this way (myself included!). I actually find it deeply healing to see "queer" be used as an inclusive umbrella term as the norm now. I know it's quite impossible to please everyone, but language is always going to change and evolve over time.
I really wanted Sam to go back to that bar and play the piano at the end. They made such a big deal about making us aware it was a place her dad went and then didn't really do anything relating to her dad at it
As a whole, I enjoyed it, but I really couldn't stand that had us in fear with the cat the whole time. I remember there was a scene near the beginning where I thought, "So, help me if they kill this cat after building the marketing around it, I'm outta here." I think I might like it better on a re-watch knowing Frodo's fine. But first time was a struggle.
And here I worried far less about the cat than the two little children who were “hiding” under the noisy fountain. They ended up blending into the crowd trying to get to the harbour…..which ended in disaster. That affected me more than how Frodo was doing.
@@marshalhammel5065oh my god stray broke my heart 😭😭 it was such a gorgeous game but i was so sad for that fucking cat man. all his cat friends just ditched him and his only friend was that little robot 💔 and then at the end i was really really hoping he would get to reunite with some fellow cats but that DIDNT HAPPENN 💔💔😢 oh my god that game stressed me out. dont even get me started on when the cat gets hurt, ive never been so stressed playing a game
I was so happy to see Lupita in another horror role, she and Frodo really stole the show. Her character was so empathetic and we don’t get perspectives like hers often. I love rhe exploration of life vs death vs living in movies
Your point around 2:30/2:45 was the same issue I had. The newspapers he had seemed to imply that it took time to disocover how they track/took some time for the creatures to completely take over. But this movie seems to say, nah, we figured out they track with sound/can't swim in the first day. Edit after watching the whole vid: I'd be dead as fuck, one of my cats meows occasionally, but the other one is the neediest, loudest, cutest bitch alive.
I thought the military was evacuating the city and blowing up the bridges because they weren't all over yet. I thought it was implying new York was the first place to get hit by the aliens
My theory is the newspapers weren't printed in new York or major cities. The death angels hadn't arrived and colonised the world in every place yet. But I don't see how distribution would have been possible
@@thefriesofLockeLamora It admittedly has been a while since I've seen the first movie (still haven't seen the second), and I could give you this. But like the first commenter said, printing and distributing newspapers would be... a feat. I still do have some issues with this explanation, mainly that I feel that radios might've still been broadcasting emergency message signals out, so I feel like the messages would have been received pretty far pretty quick.
The Quiet Place series is a good entry point for people who fall under the “Scared of Horror Movies but Love the Concept of Monsters and Killers” category. Outside the horror, the themes of family, sacrifice, and humanity are the true friends we made along the way. 😌
What a shame they cut that scene developing Eric's character. Perhaps if he shows up in a future A Quiet Place film (which would be awesome) they could develop his backstory there. I know this movie isn't flawless. I am disappointed they didn't fulfill the day one chaos and mystery and help us learn about the monsters... but it was emotional, and I damn near cried by the end. When you have fantastic performances on screen, with an emotional baseline underpinning action, great vfx; I'm more than happy to ignore just about all leaps in logic.
As a person (and Black woman) who survived an aggressive cancer a few years ago at a young age, I am just so tired of people dying of cancer in movies tbh. I get it! It's an easy plot device. But I remember it was so exhausting going through chemo and the cancer person either died or is a John Green style manic pixie cancer patient. It's a trope I wish movies examined, I promise there are other illnesses! Also my cat who got me through chemo would not survive a Quiet Place. My current idiot... well. Remains to be seen. He is spiritually an orange cat.
@@starlight8554 Ah, never read or seen it, but that would also make sense! People just also very frequently mix up the brothers, and Hank _was_ a pretty upbeat cancer patient (at least online) so it also fit 😂
Them not showing people figuring out that you're relatively safe if you stay quiet pissed me off more than anything in this movie. The movie should have been called the first 5 minutes and then a day later
I usually avoid spoilers but watching Amanda freak out about the cat is the only way I can experience this movie without crying. I freaking love cats & I lost mine at the end of last year after 17+ years together almost 24/7 R.I.P. Frannie
As someone who didn't expect anything from this movie, the scene in the bar and the magic trick may be one of the best movie scenes in a vacuum I have seen all year. This unspoken love between Sam and Erik was so beautiful, it nearly made me cry - I really shouldn't have expected anything else from the guy who made Pig, but oh well.
Same here! I was smiling while trying to hold back tears cause I was watching with someone who I didn’t want to cry in front of, or boy would I have 😂😭 such a sweet moment.
For the newspapers, I just assumed the aliens only crashed in some cities and the papers were from places further away/ took longer for the aliens to impact?
Personally, I love this movie and all three of them, exactly because there is no background story for anyone, no big talks, no lore or narration which explains every little detail to the viewers. They tell the story with subtle looks and gestures and it makes every single detail so much more meaningful and deeper for me. I had no idea about Joseph's character's background story, but I loved the ambiguity of it. It's cool to know, but I didn't really need it, I still went through a roller-coaster of emotions XD
Huh…my demon cat is actually very quiet when being held, even his purrs can be very low. The problem is, he doesn’t like being held unless you’re near constantly rocking/bobbing him like he’s a baby 😅 If you stop moving around for about 30sec-1min, he’ll start screaming and trying to wriggle away with his claws out, if you don’t immediately start rocking him and don’t let go, he’ll start biting. But if you manage to rock him before he bites, he’ll go back to be a quiet baby 😂 My other cat likes to just talk in general though, but he’s leash trained at least? He’s a black cat though and specifically likes to blend in with the dark and than throw his meows around so you can’t tell where he is….so maybe that would be useful? 🤣
I work in a cinema so I even saw the cat alive at the end of the movie, before I watched the movie myself and I *still* had a small anxiety episode at the subway tunnel scene
This is the type of horror content I need. Had to quit Hush because I was so stressed about that cat. I've only seen "A Quiet Place," so I didn't realize we're already trilogy-deep into the franchise, nor that the creatures were given a name. They'll forever be simply "FASTCRABS" in my heart.
As an owner of 3 cats, two of which were stray adopted from the street and last survivors of their litter, the survival of Frodo was literally the only thing I cared about.
"they would be the world's most successful librarians" ajska that wasn't dumb at all! there's actually a recent disney channel cartoon named Big City Greens that had a Quiet Place parody with librarians. you've got disney channel chops!
I don't know, Amanda. You bring me joy with your review style and you also tend to make me think about the stories from new angles. Plus you add things - like the cut scene - that I wasn't aware of. I think there's a great deal of value in someone that not only lifts others moods but also mentally feeds their brain in interesting ways. In a world as fraught as ours currently, things that aren't heavy and are engaging are worth a great deal and you deliver both in a relatable way. I would trust you with my cat if we were ever in New York being invaded by aliens. Even if I don't currently have a cat or live anywhere near New York.
This series feels very much like the birdbox duo. Like, its definitely good as a one off, can be fun as a duo, but then just gets more convoluted with more entries. Still waiting for the third birdbox to confuse me further
My husband brought up a good point with Joseph Quinn's cut backstory. It was probably done to avoid an R rating as that can be a sensitive subject and would affect the net gross of the movie once released. Still, shitty it was cut from a story point of view...
you talked about the movie cat so much, so now I wanna talk about mine. I have an old man who's hard of hearing, and he's always been a very vocal cat, but he's gotten louder and also likes to yell inside closets. Instant death. I have a grouchy girl. She complains about everything (being picked up, other cats looking at her) and is the 1st to scream when she thinks it's meal time and she will not stop until she has food in her mouth. Instant death as well. A little old man who is very chatty and does a lot of trills. Not overly loud for human ears, but definitely too much for aliens. Instant death. A shy girl who doesn't speak often, but when she does she only knows SCREAM. Delayed death. And lastly a little dust cloud who never figured out the human range of hearing and she meows super softly or even completely quietly. So it's nice to know I have one cat who would survive this specific apocalypse.
My mother and I went to this and I asked her about it the other day and she said “I really liked that movie, even though I don’t like monster movies, but mostly because of the cat”
Nope, sorry, no excuses are acceptable. If you promise pizza; you get pizza. Otherwise you are just an oathbreaker and deserve the most horrible fate a horror movie can give you.
yeah and pizza was a reasonable and easy-to-get request, so why not giving the dying lady her pizza? if she'd have asked to bathe in a pool of diamonds, now that'd be something different.
@@mndrew1 and it’s not just the pizza. It’s the idea of enjoying a pizza that she used to have with her Dad, when she would go to the club to see him play. She simply wanted to relive the good moments in her life before her inevitable death. That’s why she happily ate the pizza from the other pizzeria, as she was enjoying it in the old jazz club.
I have two little dogs (25 pounds put together) and they’d get me killed so fast ): They’re perfect size & weight to carry one in each arm but my mini dachshund is fearless, he has barked at bears before
I did search for spoilers of if the cat survived the movie, and I heard it did, so when watching I would get worried about the cat, but just be fully sure that the cat would do better than the people. It was a very quiet cat.
I liked Eric and Sam's strong friendship, it gave me all of the emotional feels. Also, it's likely a fluke that Sam's cat is named Frodo, unless she's a Lord of the Rings fan.
For me, the movie wasn't about the monsters. It's never been about the monsters is about humans. I think the first movie is about family and the sacrifices we make for them. The second movie is about growing up, the two kids finding their own strengths, and also sacrifices. And this movie was about life, what it means to live a full life, that its about connections. It was about her going through the steps of grieving but for herself. I think that's why the first and last ones hit harder because they had deeper meanings. I was crying tears of joy by the end, like crying hard.
Walking out of the theater my family and I were trying to figure out which of our shared 7 cats would survive and only two. An orange tabby (the mister in yellow) who barely makes noise and a black cat (chat noir) who would survive until he was hungry. Then he would scream and be taken XD.
Most horror movies aren't scared to kill off the majority of the cast but apocalypse movies actually make you happy they survive in the end, especially this one where it's about human connection.
The dumb sounds that do not attract the monsters, and it makes me crazy, is steps. Like, the monsters hear some super quiet shit, but then don't hear normally loud sounds...
That's why I can't watch movies like this one, they are not consistent in how the aliens work. Can they hear even the smallest sounds or not? If they do, then humanity would be screwed, period.
The absolute moment Amanda started showing the cat videos, one of my cats looked up from grooming, yowled, and ran over to the couch to demand attention. I would get merced by the monsters SO fast, lol
You are worth so much! Do you have any idea how much a good sense of humor is worth? Regular life keeps me in therapy. If the end of the world doesn’t have people like you in it I’m pulling the headphones out too.
I feel like a World War Z (novel) deconstruction of the A Quiet Place universe would be way more interesting. Show us the military setting of air raid sirens in a town remotely to draw the death angels in and then nuking them. Show us the successor state forces in padded gear with fully silenced subsonic single shot 20mm rifles with exploding bullets. Show us the modified Abrams tanks with extra armor sharpened tungsten spikes and speakers to serve as mobile death traps. Show us how larger settlements soundproofed and fought off initial waves. The domed cities and government mandated sign language training. Or a future city where they still have noise level mandates long after the threat is gone.
My favorite part of the will we survive A Quiet Place Cat Trend was when Lupita did it with her cat she adopted after making the movie, and the answer was no lol. That made me laugh that she joined in on the Cat Trend it was just great when actors can just jump on trends and it was just so relatable as a cat lover. It's been like 7/8 years since I lost my kitty but she was 16 years at the time, but if I was to try this trend with her I would not have survived either. Man I love cats XDDDD cute lil buggars. I have a bunny now, so I feel like I would be cheating with the trend lol
What makes it easier for me to handle animals in stressful situations is remembering they are paid actors. Like that cat most definitely got its fair share of treats and attention.
The main thought I had the whole time was how the crap did they find a cat who never made a sound. I've never known a silent cat. I also wondered how the cat held its breath.
I have the perfect cat to survive in this universe! She's not mute (she purrs and makes very quiet thrills), but she may as well be as she never vocalizes - she uses her front paws to express needs, it's the cutest thing ever! ...My second cat on the other end... Yeah, we'd be dead pretty quickly.
I love the ending for the same reason that comes up in the previous movies of going out on your own terms, making a decision that feels worth it instead of senseless (like an inescapable monster or cancer)
I'm all of the people running while the cats are yelling for sure. Honestly I wouldn't even get to running, both of my boys meow when I pick them up. RIP us I guess.
I would have loved that deleted scene. Quinn's character is still someone I feel for by the end but I was constantly asking myself why is this dude so clingy. I gotta see if they have any justification for taking that scene out, the runtime isn't even that long.
I very much loved this installment and I wasn’t expecting to. The emotions were so genuine, the performances by Lupita and Joe were fantastic, I felt like over all the theme and message were written beautifully (especially that little moment where we see that the yellow sweater belonged to Sam’s dad!). I don’t think any installment is going to be better than the first but I felt like this one wasn’t trying to outdo or replicate the original, it felt like it was really pulling its own weight to be something that stands out on its own while paying reverence to the idea and heart of the first film
I'm with Lupita in this movie. My mind is on the pizza. Ugh, my allergies would kill me right away. I cough and sneeze several times while I'm awake. I'd be dead right away. Frodo is the calmest quietest cat I have ever seen!
I think I didn't mind the world building missing some aspects since we already got that in the previous movies. I do wish there was a scene along the lines of rats scurrying around near the death angels, without problem, then one of the rats squeaks and BAM! Creature says no way José.
A lot of Cat, and no Kids as main characters. As a mom of kids and cats, I approve and applaud this choice. The first two movies and all the babysitting around aliens are way too stressful for me to go back to. Let the kitty cook 😌
One of your videos popped up in a search I did about a weird movie I watched and loved your review.....so naturally I binge watched more of your videos and had to subscribe 😃
Saddest part about this movie is the implication that Eric doesn’t live. Because he was with a known survivor in the future but was, himself, not seen there.
not worth anything? with all the movies you've watched and books you've read, you'd be a vital part of any community! stories are an integral part of human survival, always have been. In this new world you couldn't rely on the internet or movies anymore, and a lot of books were probably destroyed as well
I have 4 cats. Bobby is constantly talking! Cannot get him to shut up and when you do, he purrs sooooo loudly. Draco screams whenever he sees me or there's a chance for food or treats. Rex is a quiet boy, unlike his twin Bobby. And Riddle only meows once a day but he eats really loudly and is the only of my cats who has a bell. Either way I'm dead.
For those wondering about why Frodo seemed to be chill throughout the movie I heard that Frodo was essentially a service animal for Sam and I know service animals are trained to not cause a commotion (like bark or meow at everything/everyone) but I could be misremembering, if anyone has any additional information about this leave a comment
I never knew that the dude from the first quite place movie’s name is Lee. Man, Why is it always Characters named Lee that die to save a young girl in apocalypse stories?
I think I might like this more than the first one. I definitely liked it more than the second one. I do not care or want scenes of characters talking about "what these are". Is not necessary. I'm glad they just focused on the "now" and moved on. I'm also glad there weren't any action scenes.
That's what I love about these movies. I don't really care about where the aliens come from or why they're here I care about the characters and the drama and I hope that's what they continue to focus on in this series
When I saw this movie it was in a completely empty theatre and it made it 10x more tense. Also every time the scene changed and I couldn't see the cat I immediately assumed it was dead

Okay, cat babble over! Just worried that my original comment didn't get the love across properly. You know, in case they ever learn to read and use the internet.
I could get injured by my cat if I go like that, not by monsters 😬
god that backstory of Quinn's character would've made the movie so much more compelling. that's such an interesting set up. two people at the end of the world, one recently wanting to purposely die, the other having no choice but an imminent death. instead we got a bunch of shit just happening
Just a note on your hospice comment- you can be on hospice care and still have your own place! My grandpa had in-home hospice care at the end, and it was just a little hospital bed and machinery setup in his apartment, with a nurse who'd come and care for him for a certain amount of time a day (my aunt was there the rest of the time). He even had his little chihuahua with him, too.
I could also imagine, if she's got a place on rent control, she might have been trying to figure something out and getting the apartment over to someone else as just an F-U to the landlords.
Yeah, en d of life care can and often does happen in-home. I think its actually the most common hospice, but its not talked about as widely as facility hospice so people don't know about it
I imagine she meant facility hospice as shown in the movie. Paying for two places is weird unless she recently moved into the facility.
@@mightyiller779 it’s not weird at all if you understand how a lease works 🤷🏻♀️
@@mooncow-io "unless she recently moved" is what I wrote on my earlier comment
Trying to stay quiet in a place like New York City would be quite the achievement😂
As someone who lives near and spent a lot of time in the city, I'm not sure New Yorkers have the capacity to be quiet. I can just hear the cavalcade of swear words they would all IMMEDIATELY begin yelling at the aliens.
will the all fire and burgler alarms going off constantly?
@@ChristopherSadlowskias a new yorker, you’re not wrong 😂 we would be cooked
@@ChristopherSadlowskiHey, I'm gettin' towrn apaht from aliens here!!
I know we prefer our queer representation out in the open and its a shame a scene was deleted that implied Eric's sexuality BUT that being said there is no greater representation of queer identity than that run Eric did off the pier for Frodo. Spoke louder than any other scene could
HELP THIS COMMENT HAS ME CACKLING YOU ARE SO RIGHT 😭😭😭
A lot of people still remember that word being used as a slur and aren’t comfortable with their sexual orientation being blanket labeled with a word that has so much dark memories with it. It’s fine if you like to call yourself that, but could you please not mass label every gay or bi person with that word? 💗
Queer?? girl most lgbt community has taken the word back (like im queer and am yet to meet someone who hasnt taken it back already) are you lgbt and struggle witht he word?? !! cuz im pretty sure op is also queer and feels weird to be telling a queer person not to use a word they identify with @@RayneClouds
@@RayneClouds there are also a lot of people who have had that word used against them that are happy to see it be reclaimed in this way (myself included!). I actually find it deeply healing to see "queer" be used as an inclusive umbrella term as the norm now. I know it's quite impossible to please everyone, but language is always going to change and evolve over time.
@@RayneClouds What do you think the Q stands for in LGBTQ+?
I really wanted Sam to go back to that bar and play the piano at the end. They made such a big deal about making us aware it was a place her dad went and then didn't really do anything relating to her dad at it
It would be so heartbreaking and cool
Can she play though?
@olive4naito they never showed us yes or no so
I hope they release a cut with the missing scene because it really does add so much to the movie that it’s honestly hindered without it
Me too!!
As a whole, I enjoyed it, but I really couldn't stand that had us in fear with the cat the whole time. I remember there was a scene near the beginning where I thought, "So, help me if they kill this cat after building the marketing around it, I'm outta here." I think I might like it better on a re-watch knowing Frodo's fine. But first time was a struggle.
I KNEW the little angel was going to survive but I still hated watching him go through any of it
@@AmandaTheJedii get the feeling that the game Stray wouldn't be to your liking either, especially the part in the begining.
I started to wonder if Frodo was actually a familiar.
And here I worried far less about the cat than the two little children who were “hiding” under the noisy fountain. They ended up blending into the crowd trying to get to the harbour…..which ended in disaster. That affected me more than how Frodo was doing.
@@marshalhammel5065oh my god stray broke my heart 😭😭 it was such a gorgeous game but i was so sad for that fucking cat man. all his cat friends just ditched him and his only friend was that little robot 💔 and then at the end i was really really hoping he would get to reunite with some fellow cats but that DIDNT HAPPENN 💔💔😢 oh my god that game stressed me out. dont even get me started on when the cat gets hurt, ive never been so stressed playing a game
I was so happy to see Lupita in another horror role, she and Frodo really stole the show. Her character was so empathetic and we don’t get perspectives like hers often. I love rhe exploration of life vs death vs living in movies
Your point around 2:30/2:45 was the same issue I had. The newspapers he had seemed to imply that it took time to disocover how they track/took some time for the creatures to completely take over. But this movie seems to say, nah, we figured out they track with sound/can't swim in the first day.
Edit after watching the whole vid: I'd be dead as fuck, one of my cats meows occasionally, but the other one is the neediest, loudest, cutest bitch alive.
Also, do you know how _Noisy_ it is to print newspapers? 🤦🏼♀️
I thought the military was evacuating the city and blowing up the bridges because they weren't all over yet. I thought it was implying new York was the first place to get hit by the aliens
My theory is the newspapers weren't printed in new York or major cities. The death angels hadn't arrived and colonised the world in every place yet. But I don't see how distribution would have been possible
@@thefriesofLockeLamora It admittedly has been a while since I've seen the first movie (still haven't seen the second), and I could give you this. But like the first commenter said, printing and distributing newspapers would be... a feat. I still do have some issues with this explanation, mainly that I feel that radios might've still been broadcasting emergency message signals out, so I feel like the messages would have been received pretty far pretty quick.
@@thefriesofLockeLamora This is my theory too.
The Quiet Place series is a good entry point for people who fall under the “Scared of Horror Movies but Love the Concept of Monsters and Killers” category.
Outside the horror, the themes of family, sacrifice, and humanity are the true friends we made along the way. 😌
eddie munson looking like tears about to roll out in every single scene, the whole time. take a bow.
*Joseph Quinn :D
Joseph Quinn is his name
this is the way.
What a shame they cut that scene developing Eric's character. Perhaps if he shows up in a future A Quiet Place film (which would be awesome) they could develop his backstory there. I know this movie isn't flawless. I am disappointed they didn't fulfill the day one chaos and mystery and help us learn about the monsters... but it was emotional, and I damn near cried by the end.
When you have fantastic performances on screen, with an emotional baseline underpinning action, great vfx; I'm more than happy to ignore just about all leaps in logic.
Would be a waste of characters not have both Eric and Frodo show up in the upcoming one.
As a person (and Black woman) who survived an aggressive cancer a few years ago at a young age, I am just so tired of people dying of cancer in movies tbh. I get it! It's an easy plot device. But I remember it was so exhausting going through chemo and the cancer person either died or is a John Green style manic pixie cancer patient. It's a trope I wish movies examined, I promise there are other illnesses!
Also my cat who got me through chemo would not survive a Quiet Place. My current idiot... well. Remains to be seen. He is spiritually an orange cat.
(psst it was Hank Green that had cancer; John Green is his brother the author 😊)
@@angellittle1571I think they’re talking about the characters in The Fault in Our Stars, not the actual Green brothers.
@@starlight8554 Ah, never read or seen it, but that would also make sense! People just also very frequently mix up the brothers, and Hank _was_ a pretty upbeat cancer patient (at least online) so it also fit 😂
Superman and Lois handle this pretty well if you're into superhero stuff. One of the better series on cw
Them not showing people figuring out that you're relatively safe if you stay quiet pissed me off more than anything in this movie.
The movie should have been called the first 5 minutes and then a day later
I always thought, humanity's main weapon against these aliens should be Skrillex
Me: look in my cats general direction
My cats: 😺📢🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶
The crazy part about them cutting out Joseph Wuinn’s backstory is crazy considering how short the movie is
I usually avoid spoilers but watching Amanda freak out about the cat is the only way I can experience this movie without crying. I freaking love cats & I lost mine at the end of last year after 17+ years together almost 24/7 R.I.P. Frannie
Absolutely, take care of yourself. Unexpected animal death overshadows everything else for me, I couldn't even enjoy the Haunting of Hill House.
As someone who didn't expect anything from this movie, the scene in the bar and the magic trick may be one of the best movie scenes in a vacuum I have seen all year. This unspoken love between Sam and Erik was so beautiful, it nearly made me cry - I really shouldn't have expected anything else from the guy who made Pig, but oh well.
Same here! I was smiling while trying to hold back tears cause I was watching with someone who I didn’t want to cry in front of, or boy would I have 😂😭 such a sweet moment.
For the newspapers, I just assumed the aliens only crashed in some cities and the papers were from places further away/ took longer for the aliens to impact?
I only went to see it because I googled if the cat survived… and I still had a panic attack at the theater 😅
Personally, I love this movie and all three of them, exactly because there is no background story for anyone, no big talks, no lore or narration which explains every little detail to the viewers. They tell the story with subtle looks and gestures and it makes every single detail so much more meaningful and deeper for me. I had no idea about Joseph's character's background story, but I loved the ambiguity of it. It's cool to know, but I didn't really need it, I still went through a roller-coaster of emotions XD
NOT ME LEARNING HALF OF THE PLOT WAS CUT OUT?? i liked the movie but the missing pieces make it so much more meaningful?
As someone with two cats: this is the only kind of thriller movie review I want from now on. One that follows the cat & if the cat is going to be ok.
"Mom said it's my turn on the X-Box." 🤣🤣🤣
My husband and I really enjoyed it, and in every scene we were reminded that our cat wouldn't survive at all xD
Huh…my demon cat is actually very quiet when being held, even his purrs can be very low. The problem is, he doesn’t like being held unless you’re near constantly rocking/bobbing him like he’s a baby 😅
If you stop moving around for about 30sec-1min, he’ll start screaming and trying to wriggle away with his claws out, if you don’t immediately start rocking him and don’t let go, he’ll start biting. But if you manage to rock him before he bites, he’ll go back to be a quiet baby 😂
My other cat likes to just talk in general though, but he’s leash trained at least? He’s a black cat though and specifically likes to blend in with the dark and than throw his meows around so you can’t tell where he is….so maybe that would be useful? 🤣
I loved this movie. In the theaters, since the movie is so quiet, every sound that you hear makes you think twice if it comes from the movie or not.
I work in a cinema so I even saw the cat alive at the end of the movie, before I watched the movie myself and I *still* had a small anxiety episode at the subway tunnel scene
This movie was interesting for sure! That cat was stressing me the whole movie 😂
This is the type of horror content I need. Had to quit Hush because I was so stressed about that cat.
I've only seen "A Quiet Place," so I didn't realize we're already trilogy-deep into the franchise, nor that the creatures were given a name. They'll forever be simply "FASTCRABS" in my heart.
As an owner of 3 cats, two of which were stray adopted from the street and last survivors of their litter, the survival of Frodo was literally the only thing I cared about.
"they would be the world's most successful librarians" ajska that wasn't dumb at all! there's actually a recent disney channel cartoon named Big City Greens that had a Quiet Place parody with librarians. you've got disney channel chops!
The cat lover movie fr, the cat is the main character of this horror movie
I don't know, Amanda. You bring me joy with your review style and you also tend to make me think about the stories from new angles. Plus you add things - like the cut scene - that I wasn't aware of. I think there's a great deal of value in someone that not only lifts others moods but also mentally feeds their brain in interesting ways. In a world as fraught as ours currently, things that aren't heavy and are engaging are worth a great deal and you deliver both in a relatable way. I would trust you with my cat if we were ever in New York being invaded by aliens. Even if I don't currently have a cat or live anywhere near New York.
I love this comment so much.❤
This series feels very much like the birdbox duo. Like, its definitely good as a one off, can be fun as a duo, but then just gets more convoluted with more entries. Still waiting for the third birdbox to confuse me further
there's a second birdbox movie? How did I not know this?
@@nbucwa6621
I had no clue there was a second birdbox movie, either.
My husband brought up a good point with Joseph Quinn's cut backstory. It was probably done to avoid an R rating as that can be a sensitive subject and would affect the net gross of the movie once released.
Still, shitty it was cut from a story point of view...
you talked about the movie cat so much, so now I wanna talk about mine.
I have an old man who's hard of hearing, and he's always been a very vocal cat, but he's gotten louder and also likes to yell inside closets. Instant death.
I have a grouchy girl. She complains about everything (being picked up, other cats looking at her) and is the 1st to scream when she thinks it's meal time and she will not stop until she has food in her mouth. Instant death as well.
A little old man who is very chatty and does a lot of trills. Not overly loud for human ears, but definitely too much for aliens. Instant death.
A shy girl who doesn't speak often, but when she does she only knows SCREAM. Delayed death.
And lastly a little dust cloud who never figured out the human range of hearing and she meows super softly or even completely quietly. So it's nice to know I have one cat who would survive this specific apocalypse.
My mother and I went to this and I asked her about it the other day and she said “I really liked that movie, even though I don’t like monster movies, but mostly because of the cat”
It took me until your video to realize it was "Frodo" and "Sam"... I think I need to turn in my Geek Card.
Aaand, Sam and Eric, from Lord of the Flies.
Nope, sorry, no excuses are acceptable. If you promise pizza; you get pizza. Otherwise you are just an oathbreaker and deserve the most horrible fate a horror movie can give you.
yeah and pizza was a reasonable and easy-to-get request, so why not giving the dying lady her pizza? if she'd have asked to bathe in a pool of diamonds, now that'd be something different.
Pizza is a sacred trust amongst those who understand its divine origins.
@@mndrew1 and it’s not just the pizza. It’s the idea of enjoying a pizza that she used to have with her Dad, when she would go to the club to see him play. She simply wanted to relive the good moments in her life before her inevitable death. That’s why she happily ate the pizza from the other pizzeria, as she was enjoying it in the old jazz club.
I've just been seeing the memes on tiktok and my favourite one so far is one where the cat was only silent when the person was moving XD
Can confirm Patsy’s Pizza is that daym good BTW. Thanks Amanda for posting this pitch perfect review on James Baldwin’s 100th weekend.
12:29 'poor guy!' **Pretends to care about anyone else other than the cat.
I have two little dogs (25 pounds put together) and they’d get me killed so fast ):
They’re perfect size & weight to carry one in each arm but my mini dachshund is fearless, he has barked at bears before
I wouldn't make it a single breath with my cat. She's still a baby and as soon as she hears me come home she's screaming
I did search for spoilers of if the cat survived the movie, and I heard it did, so when watching I would get worried about the cat, but just be fully sure that the cat would do better than the people. It was a very quiet cat.
Is this a film about anxiety? Cats have anxiety and trauma to go through all this....
Eric's character definitely has it and it definitely popped my off!
@AmandaTheJedi No wish on anyone for that.... believe me.
You had me at Unhinged Cat Lover.
I liked Eric and Sam's strong friendship, it gave me all of the emotional feels. Also, it's likely a fluke that Sam's cat is named Frodo, unless she's a Lord of the Rings fan.
why would you name a cat frodo if you wasnt a lord of the rings fan?
I assumed that’s the reason why the kitty is Frodo… cause she’s Sam and wanted to make a LotR joke.
An Easter egg I saw was the book she knocks over, " Happiness Falling" by Angie Kim.
i was expecting it to be a "bigger" movie but it was just as small as the others...i was expecting more from it, but maybe the fourth one will deliver
For me, the movie wasn't about the monsters. It's never been about the monsters is about humans. I think the first movie is about family and the sacrifices we make for them. The second movie is about growing up, the two kids finding their own strengths, and also sacrifices. And this movie was about life, what it means to live a full life, that its about connections. It was about her going through the steps of grieving but for herself. I think that's why the first and last ones hit harder because they had deeper meanings. I was crying tears of joy by the end, like crying hard.
They propable decided to cut the suicide plot to keep ratings low which is disappointing
Mildly unrelated but as a dog lover I felt that way rewatching Widows yesterday, movie kept putting that sweet angel baby in peril
Walking out of the theater my family and I were trying to figure out which of our shared 7 cats would survive and only two. An orange tabby (the mister in yellow) who barely makes noise and a black cat (chat noir) who would survive until he was hungry. Then he would scream and be taken XD.
Most horror movies aren't scared to kill off the majority of the cast but apocalypse movies actually make you happy they survive in the end, especially this one where it's about human connection.
The dumb sounds that do not attract the monsters, and it makes me crazy, is steps. Like, the monsters hear some super quiet shit, but then don't hear normally loud sounds...
That's why I can't watch movies like this one, they are not consistent in how the aliens work. Can they hear even the smallest sounds or not? If they do, then humanity would be screwed, period.
Frodo is the chillest cat to exist, maybe ever, in fiction or reality.
if my cat feels ignored, including when i'm ASLEEP, she starts tossing shit off my desk. I've woken many a 3 am to the sounds.
This just makes me thankful I have a bubble cat backpack so I can take my cat safely with me.
The absolute moment Amanda started showing the cat videos, one of my cats looked up from grooming, yowled, and ran over to the couch to demand attention. I would get merced by the monsters SO fast, lol
I appreciate how Amanda is mirroring my energy and concerns about Frodo.
I feel like i failed you Amanda 😭 i saw the notification 4 days ago and said yay new video but didn’t end up watching until now 😭
You are worth so much! Do you have any idea how much a good sense of humor is worth? Regular life keeps me in therapy. If the end of the world doesn’t have people like you in it I’m pulling the headphones out too.
I feel like a World War Z (novel) deconstruction of the A Quiet Place universe would be way more interesting. Show us the military setting of air raid sirens in a town remotely to draw the death angels in and then nuking them. Show us the successor state forces in padded gear with fully silenced subsonic single shot 20mm rifles with exploding bullets. Show us the modified Abrams tanks with extra armor sharpened tungsten spikes and speakers to serve as mobile death traps. Show us how larger settlements soundproofed and fought off initial waves. The domed cities and government mandated sign language training. Or a future city where they still have noise level mandates long after the threat is gone.
My favorite part of the will we survive A Quiet Place Cat Trend was when Lupita did it with her cat she adopted after making the movie, and the answer was no lol. That made me laugh that she joined in on the Cat Trend it was just great when actors can just jump on trends and it was just so relatable as a cat lover.
It's been like 7/8 years since I lost my kitty but she was 16 years at the time, but if I was to try this trend with her I would not have survived either. Man I love cats XDDDD cute lil buggars. I have a bunny now, so I feel like I would be cheating with the trend lol
What makes it easier for me to handle animals in stressful situations is remembering they are paid actors. Like that cat most definitely got its fair share of treats and attention.
The main thought I had the whole time was how the crap did they find a cat who never made a sound. I've never known a silent cat. I also wondered how the cat held its breath.
I have the perfect cat to survive in this universe! She's not mute (she purrs and makes very quiet thrills), but she may as well be as she never vocalizes - she uses her front paws to express needs, it's the cutest thing ever! ...My second cat on the other end... Yeah, we'd be dead pretty quickly.
I love the ending for the same reason that comes up in the previous movies of going out on your own terms, making a decision that feels worth it instead of senseless (like an inescapable monster or cancer)
I'm all of the people running while the cats are yelling for sure. Honestly I wouldn't even get to running, both of my boys meow when I pick them up. RIP us I guess.
I would have loved that deleted scene. Quinn's character is still someone I feel for by the end but I was constantly asking myself why is this dude so clingy. I gotta see if they have any justification for taking that scene out, the runtime isn't even that long.
I very much loved this installment and I wasn’t expecting to. The emotions were so genuine, the performances by Lupita and Joe were fantastic, I felt like over all the theme and message were written beautifully (especially that little moment where we see that the yellow sweater belonged to Sam’s dad!). I don’t think any installment is going to be better than the first but I felt like this one wasn’t trying to outdo or replicate the original, it felt like it was really pulling its own weight to be something that stands out on its own while paying reverence to the idea and heart of the first film
I'm with Lupita in this movie. My mind is on the pizza.
Ugh, my allergies would kill me right away.
I cough and sneeze several times while I'm awake.
I'd be dead right away.
Frodo is the calmest quietest cat I have ever seen!
I think I didn't mind the world building missing some aspects since we already got that in the previous movies.
I do wish there was a scene along the lines of rats scurrying around near the death angels, without problem, then one of the rats squeaks and BAM! Creature says no way José.
A lot of Cat, and no Kids as main characters. As a mom of kids and cats, I approve and applaud this choice. The first two movies and all the babysitting around aliens are way too stressful for me to go back to. Let the kitty cook 😌
22:05 I think they're just trying to let the survivors know that they're leaving. Which makes sense since they stop once they saw Eric running.
One of your videos popped up in a search I did about a weird movie I watched and loved your review.....so naturally I binge watched more of your videos and had to subscribe 😃
Saddest part about this movie is the implication that Eric doesn’t live. Because he was with a known survivor in the future but was, himself, not seen there.
All three of the movies have been killer for me but this one and the first one are my favorites.
God bless my mom for telling me the cat survived in the end, only way I made it through, I was so stressed
I can't believe I didn't realise until I watched this... Sam has a cat called Frodo. Sam has to carry and protect Frodo.
not worth anything? with all the movies you've watched and books you've read, you'd be a vital part of any community! stories are an integral part of human survival, always have been. In this new world you couldn't rely on the internet or movies anymore, and a lot of books were probably destroyed as well
omg i'd be a dystopian mythological historian
I have 4 cats. Bobby is constantly talking! Cannot get him to shut up and when you do, he purrs sooooo loudly. Draco screams whenever he sees me or there's a chance for food or treats. Rex is a quiet boy, unlike his twin Bobby. And Riddle only meows once a day but he eats really loudly and is the only of my cats who has a bell. Either way I'm dead.
For those wondering about why Frodo seemed to be chill throughout the movie I heard that Frodo was essentially a service animal for Sam and I know service animals are trained to not cause a commotion (like bark or meow at everything/everyone) but I could be misremembering, if anyone has any additional information about this leave a comment
I never knew that the dude from the first quite place movie’s name is Lee. Man, Why is it always Characters named Lee that die to save a young girl in apocalypse stories?
I think I might like this more than the first one. I definitely liked it more than the second one.
I do not care or want scenes of characters talking about "what these are". Is not necessary. I'm glad they just focused on the "now" and moved on. I'm also glad there weren't any action scenes.
That's what I love about these movies. I don't really care about where the aliens come from or why they're here
I care about the characters and the drama and I hope that's what they continue to focus on in this series
When I saw this movie it was in a completely empty theatre and it made it 10x more tense. Also every time the scene changed and I couldn't see the cat I immediately assumed it was dead
