We Watched *Leave the World Behind* For the First & We Were Shocked!! 

I thought the ending was perfect because I could imagine what would happen next. They really didn’t need to show us, they explained what’s gonna happen.

This movie is actually pretty deep and FULL of meaning. I did a whole 50min video on all of the things I got. Unfortunately it's in brazilian portuguese so I don't think will help you guys at all. BUT I can give some drops of info here: - I think the main point of the movie is to show how disfunctional the United States are as a nation, an it's very clever to show it in a personal and intimate look in the dynamics of two families. And it's more effective. They left the racial themes, for example, all on hints and subtle dialogue. There are a lot of easter eggs also to show this. Here's one: the name of the grocery store and the signs pointing to the beach where the family goes, are both named Point Comfort, which is the former name of the port where the first known slave ship to arrive on US territory. The name of the ship? White Lion. The same name on the oil tanker. - About the deer (an the flamingos): there's a snippet of radio news on the drone scene, where Ethan Hawke's character is outside trying to get signal, and the radio news say that there has been a disaster affecting the animals migration patterns. And I feel that the significance is multilayered also. Nature is very important in this film. It's like Rosie says: deer seem to know something we don't. At several moments in the film, from the beginning, especially when it goes from one day to the next, we look at the planet from the silence of space. In one of these moments, the camera moves away from the earth and exposes the United States flag, aged and discolored in the territory of the moon. It's almost an explanation, or a foreshadowing of what's happening on the blue planet. And perhaps it is even a mockery of the notion that we have of what progress and civilization actually are. In the American territory everything is crazy, there is a shouting match, everything is falling apart, but the watery rock that is planet Earth remains serene in space, if seen from the outside. The world of those people is ending, but the world in fact remains firm, supported by gravity. In the last of these views of the earth, we see an eclipse from the moon's point of view. The land remains there, but at that moment, the American nation, what they call civilization, is about to collapse. And it's ironic that nature is what protects the film's protagonists from suffering from the apparently more serious consequences of what is happening in the cities. The forest, the green is what separates them from the greater disaster. And then the animals come in. As I said before, there is this radio news that explains an environmental disaster that affects animal migration. This explains the logic behind the strange behavior of birds, flamingos and deer. At first they are used in the film as a way to show that something is very wrong, but then things change. Their second function is to serve as contrast and opposition. First, they are a reminder that much of our “civilization” has invaded a space that was originally theirs, and second, that this cyber apocalypse, after all, even if it affects their migration patterns, doesn’t actually scare them. They walk calmly among humans as if nothing were happening, because for them, the end of communication as we know it means nothing. The internet, satellites, cars, all of this stopping working, will not destabilize their world as it destabilizes ours. Maybe it's even better for them if human “civilization” goes down the drain.

What this *book* accomplished is to allow the audience to experience a realistic scenario of world catastrophe. I don't get people that wanted it to be super natural, or AI, or aliens. We have enough movies like that. This is refreshing and for many people a lot scarier because events like these are not only perfectly plausible but also right around the corner. Also the ending was perfectly appropriate in my opinion. We already know what's going to happen, since the circumstances are grounded on historical realities.

It's very clear what the ending sets up, and the theme of Friends is more important than it seems. Amanda and Ruth will continue straight to the bunker house, find the bike and snacks and follow the sound of Friends to Rose. G.H. and Clay are headed back and Danny just gave them a hint about the bunker as well. G.H. asks Danny if they're still 'friends', and in the car asks Clay to be his 'friend'. Oh also there are 6 people in the group 3 male 3 female, just like friends, and 6 chairs by the swimming pool. Practically sets up a spin off of Friends over the years they'll be living in that unrealistically nice bunker.

It’s weird people seem to side against Julia Robert’s. I want you to actually imagine you paid a lot of money for a vacation for your family. And in the middle of the night strangers show up and want to come inside and stay with you without having any way of proving who they are. Why would you be down for that?

You guys NEED to watch Saltburn!!! Your reactions would be priceless

I'm always worried about something like this, lol. This movie really bothered me because it just played into my neurosis. Plus, I think I would have taken some blankets and the kids and slept downstairs and let the owners take their bedrooms back.

Animals could be acting weird due to magnetic pole shift, same with sats.

A bird box incredible too!!! There’s like unlimited movies for y’all to watch!!!😂😂

So I could laugh about the ending with the “Friends Theme”. After the whole movie built up so much tension, it was a nice release. And about the thing with the shots at each other. That's not a normal blackout. I'm sure that sound freaks some people out plus there were probably forces there just waiting for it. They accelerated the whole thing.

i noticed you watched alita battle angel trailer but not the movie , i highly recommend it 😊😊

This movie made me so anxious. I almost had an anxiety attack after watching it. It’s the scariest apocalyptic movie I’ve ever seen because it can happen. It’s possible. And since the Obamas produced it that scared me even more, Because they know more than we do.

Forget the movie I’m wondering what was going on those 4 hours she was missing in Cuba

First, let me say that I liked the movie, but it left with so many questions.

Can't wait to see the 'sequel': A25's Civil War.

Plus it was the family’s own fault that they didn’t leave a lot sooner when they had the chance

Cmon you can’t have a frown face throughout the reaction 😂

Since this attack only seems to be against the U.S. - one wonders how the U.S.'s allies would step in and help....or if many were able to evacuate.

All real be ready this movie tells u everything

You two make a beautiful couple. You seem to be so close. It is really nice. And great job on reacting. That movie was a trip.

lol. Her accents reminds me of Marge from Fargo a bit. Must be Canadians, or the northern part of a border state.

Julia Robert was giving a good homage to MP

Luckily, im fully prepared and have spent months worth of training in survival situations and bushcraft. One day, something like this will imminently happen. A cyber attack is a bigger threat to us these days than global warming or nuclear war

I thought this movie was interesting. The suspense was crazy. There were two scenes I could not watch, the teeth and the dancing. 😅 I didn't mind the ending. I figure that will all find each other and that bunker and survive for a year or two down there.

The Unforgivable: Sandra Bullock The Mother: Jennifer Lopez Blue Eyed Samurai: a GREAT animated short series.

Nice reaction! Thank you!

love your reaction

My all time favorite musical is GREASE

And btw the lil girl did the right thing you can’t wait as god told us all it’s why she said I’m tired of waiting you gunna it yourself

46:30 wtf made the writers put that in the script 😂😂😂😂

I've actually did some research on this. A while. Back and seventy two hours people . Less time if there's children or if they are l malician/gangs involve.

It’s call a EMP!! And other things that can cause people turn on everyone! People need to wake up!!

I vote yes for bird box!

Don't pee in pools, or in lakes! People think it's okay to pee in lakes, but it's NOT.

Watch Vivarium

Watch Ransom 1996

LOVE this movie. Hate the ending lol

Why not releasing hunger games guysss

I liked the movie ,but the cameramoves got annoying, they were trying to be cool really hard, wich made it contra cool

One scene disturbed me so bad and I have dreams about this I don’t want to see something like this in movies so disturbed

I think the problem you and a lot of people had was going into this movie with expectations of some high octane apocalyptic film that gives you all the answers by the end. Including you originally thinking it was aliens and even bringing up the super natural even though this is obviously supposed to be a very reality grounded film following the isolation and uncertainty that would come from an event like this. I think you guys would have a lot more fun just watching films like World War Z and Independence Day because it seems like slow burn movies arent your thing.

I think this movie is excellent with the character interactions, all the world stuff is just the background for the actual story. Which IMO, is how your perceptions of people will color your reaction to their actions. Even of they are minor things that are normal, depending on how you view someone, you will make a judgment about said person. Good or bad.

Everybody who hates is so slow, do you hear what the mom says in the beginning? Do you see what the daughter does at the end? Helllo??

It's Biblical

cell towers connect to what? anyone. anyone? Starts wIth an S

the ending pissed me off

Gas guns food and medicine.

This film ended up in my top 10 of 'Worst Films of 2023'. It just tried to juggle too many things at once.

I'm not saying this is true but it having low ratings might have to do with it being produced by Obama lol. I liked the movie. Enjoyed it a lot.

This movie tried so hard to be all mind blowing but in the end it was 2 1/2 hours of complete nothing…garbage

You guys have the single worst video movie list I have ever seen. Whoever is suggesting these films has really rotten taste. No offense to you two.

This is such a terrible film. I wouldn't even know where to begin in explaining why.

Complete artsy fartsy crap! Tried so hard to be poignant and deep…just freaking boring. But watch it win awards and accolades 😂

Watch Society of the snow
