      ​@@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.

      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.)

    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.

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!

    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.

    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? 🤣

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

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

  • @charlirogers6235
    @charlirogers6235 Місяць тому +2

    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.
