PS At the end, a funny meme 😅
A rather atypical horror movie came out, but left a good impression!
* actor John Krasinski played Jim Halpert in the American TV series The Office, and also directed this film and starred in it with his wife Emily Blunt.
The only question I would ask Krasinski on occasion is how in this world do people avoid snoring, snoring and talking in their sleep? All other questions are secondary.
The main complaint is the heterogeneous interpretation of the conditions under which monsters can hear people. Then, behind the noises of the wind, leaves, and birds, the monster is able to hear the broken glass in the basement of a house several hundred meters away. Then he does not hear the car running, in which the children drive away from the dismembered father, who, by the way, was attacked by a monster from the roof unreasonably, because the father did not make noise. Well, that's how it turns out whenever you just want to watch a movie, but behind each scene you have to rethink the rules of the game instead.
Monsters just have a painful reaction to any sound due to the hypersensitivity of the organs, in my opinion. But their appearance and structure clearly indicate that they are not a defensive species, but an aggressive one.
The feeling after watching was somewhat reminiscent of the Cloverfield series. The film is brisk, the pace is steady – without sagging and excess water. The characters are a bit dumb, but where without it 😅
Yes, nowadays almost everything in the cinema has already been somewhere, but there are the very touches and twists that make the film interesting.
1. The children in the opening scene were on their own. My mother deeply doesn't care what the goldfinch does, what it takes, what it takes with it, etc. They come out of the store: a father with a basket-shaped son in his arms, then the blessed mother, then the eldest daughter and then the goldfinch. So they move to the house. The result is 1 month..and the parents were very surprised, but why did all this happen and the inexhaustible remorse of the whole family.
2. Getting pregnant or intentionally pregnant under such circumstances is at least stupid. Everyone can speculate on this topic in their own way. Bottom line: curious creatures came to the sound, -1 daddy, a demolished hut.
And so it can be described in writing. It would be fine if only accidents or external circumstances. No, a couple of beaten-up parents are creating a fierce game.
And finally: the choice of the mother in the final scene is obvious, following the whole logic of the flawed script of this film, namely, to leave the hut in horror, despite the fact that everything is furnished for living there. She should have won the Darwin Prize.
Conclusion: the movie is full of amen. One continuous perplexity on my part and everyone who watched this miracle movie with me in the company.
1) all children are different, and if you're not a telepath, you can't predict their behavior one hundred percent.Anyone, even an absolutely driven child, can do something atypical. Plus, in this context, the meaning of this is "one at the beginning, the second at the end"?There is no danger around, only the sound is important.Visibility does not play a significant role. And I don't think it's easy for children who haven't encountered the concept of death to explain what it is, and it also plays into the perception of danger. Hence the general behavior. The human "yes, it happened to someone else, it shouldn't happen to me."
2) You are missing the moment of psychological trauma from the loss of a child. They don't show us how they came to this, but from my point of view, it doesn't matter. Intentionally - not intentionally - it HAPPENS, roughly speaking. They don't show us a "survivor family that behaves logically by a thousand percent," this is an ordinary family with children. They're not biologists, they're not geniuses, they're just ordinary people. Calling their actions in this matter illogical is a bit silly, because no one knows what they would actually do in such a situation, in words we are all Leo tolstoy. Whether it's a questionably conscious decision by a child based on the loss of another, or an accidental pregnancy as a result of a desire for intimacy, how to muffle grief and loss - this is the place to be. The film is not about survival as a flawless goal, but about people.
And yes, they might not even try to do anything about it, but the characters are trying to think of everything they can: an "alarm" system, sound isolation, etc.
"Furnished for living." And the supplies? And the fact that there were sounds of gunshots and it was unclear exactly how many critters would come running? And the fact that this is literally just a woman who gave birth, watching on cameras as her loved one sacrificed himself for the sake of children?
The feeling that you came to watch a movie for the sake of blood and circuses, missing the moment that this film is about an ordinary family that survives as best it can. It's not an action movie, it's a drama. Empathy and situation modeling are visible in "-"
We thought out fireworks, light bulbs and a small "coffin" for the baby.
