Maybe by blindfolding, we can connect more closely with people

I saw a film review and talked a lot about the female perspective. After all, the director is a woman, and the film experience of men and women will definitely be quite different for this film. Most of the details have been analyzed, including the horror film routines, Crusu's style and so on. I would like to share a little part that is easy to miss.

The heroine is someone who is immersed in her inner self. She is calm, stable, and not easily affected or changed. At the beginning of the story, painting is her love and devotion. The child is pregnant with her roommate. The roommate ran away and did not affect her much. The studio was still her favorite, so that her sister persuaded her to go out and get in touch with others. social contact.

When we saw her paintings, my sister felt lonely in the paintings, but she said rationally that people lack the ability to connect.

The characters in the painting are undoubtedly a guide to the people who will be trapped in the house behind. And everyone in the painting has colors, but the woman in the middle doesn't. There are 11 people in the painting, and there are exactly 11 people in the house behind, including the two fetuses. The hostess said that people lack the ability to connect.

Yes, these people, Ben has no contact. Even during the check-up, the hostess and the doctor revealed their resistance to the birth of the child. Even in the trapped house, the hostess had broken her amniotic fluid, but still ignoring her fetus to be born, she wanted to help another pregnant woman. Delivery. For the connection between people, the heroine is not good at it, is unfamiliar, passive, and resistant.

However, the arrival of that invisible power caused a whole room of unrelated people to string together. And even more, under the circumstance that there is no guarantee of survival, the heroine gradually begins to get closer to the man he likes, and finally establish an intimate relationship.

Including the bird in the film, the heroine has always been with her, and people in the back from the community where they live, go to the jungle, and even go through the rapids of the river, to the depths of nature. And in the end, the one who helped to meet in the community was the female lead obstetrician. The obstetrician, symbolizing the initial linker of the human mother-child relationship. The birds, and the forests and rivers behind, are more about the relationship between man and nature.

This invisible mysterious force destroyed people, but rebuilt the relationship between life in the world. This is the most profound part I feel.

    I don't care. Anyway, there are apocalyptic horror movies with survivalist/supermarket plots, and they all come to five stars with closed eyes!

    When a natural disaster strikes, the biggest enemy is often a man-made disaster... The film is okay, but in my opinion of a high degree of myopia, I usually take off my glasses like a blind man who will bounce off whenever he touches anything. It is shown in the movie, but in order to show the heroine's strength, I rushed all the way to lose the truth, and everything else is fine. Anyway, the director didn't want to tell you what that thing is! Mulberry is really not without acting skills! ps, netflix movies are really good

Bird Box quotes

  • Malorie: [Malorie speaking to Boy and Girl] Boy, you have your dog. Girl, you have your kitty. This is just a place. There's nothing more that we need from it. Do you understand? And no talking on the river. You must listen as closely as you can. If you hear something in the woods, you tell me. If you hear something in the water, you tell me. But you never, ever take off your blindfold. If you look, you will die. Do you understand?

  • Lucy: [Stretching her body, Lucy sees Felix admiring her] You've got *no* chance.

    Malorie: [Some time later, Malorie walks in on Felix and Lucy having sex] Sorry.
