Going into the final scenes I thought they were going to go for the dark ending, having a shootout with the dads/Kevin Bacon character, having the deer attack Julia Roberts/the one daughter, etc etc. I didn't hate the ending, I thought it was a bit silly that the survivalist would all the sudden change his mind and hand over medicine in exchange for useless money but I guess you could say he sympathized with the guy trying to help his kid.
Spot on about the worthless man speech. Also, Julia Roberts screeching and flailing at at the evil, murderous deer...yikes.
I was a bit confused on the animal aspect in general. The one brief radio broadcast mentioned that migration patterns were getting messed up but I don't get what was going on with the deer. Yeah the scene with the outside lights reflecting off all the deer eyes in the yard was sweet.
I mean the dude was worthless in this environment. He was a college professor in a subject that had no use in this scenario. He admitted he had no tech knowledge nor did it seem like he had anything to offer to the situation (other than being a counter to the paranoid mom.) The two other adult men in the movie had the most to offer in this scenario so people can't act like this was a MAN BAD WOMAN GOOD type movie.
I hate how many Netflix films do this. Good build up, solid story and premise then just completely lack luster end.
Might be some spoilers......I wouldn’t argue it’s woke, although I can see why some people say it is....but it does not portray the white people in a good light. The wife (Julia Roberts) is a negative Karen who is distrustful of the black home owners. Although she would be down for the dick in one scene, but black man is the one that says no lmao. The husband (Ethan Hawke) is a useless twat who is also a coward weakling reliant on his devices. The Son is a dick, who jerks off to pics he took of the homeowners black daughter. The daughter lives in tv land obsessed with the TV show Friends. Another white character in Kevin Bacon, somehow lives in the same rich community and is a redneck prepper, who is self serving. (I live in the area in the movie, no one like that lives anywhere near the million dollar homes) Meanwhile, the black Homeowner is rich, handsome, the only one with brains and morals. He is better than anyone else in the movie as a human BY FAR. His daughter says plenty of things that are anti white, like “Don’t trust white people”, “The white lady has no chill and the Dad wants to fuck me”.
They kept mentioning a environmental disaster down south. The oil spill was a motive. Kevin Bacon was not his brothers keeper. GH WAS. He was willing to do what it took to save the boy. Bacon was selfish, although he did have some knowledge. The animal aspect was something they should have explored more, maybe in an M Night way....it was creepy.
Yeah, they just keep replacing us. The other day, I watched a superhero movie about a hero called Malcom X (one of the X-Men). And guess what color his skin was. Black of course. Almost everyone in that movie was black. Fuck that woke shit.
