I read the plot from the book on wiki, and it said the blind people at the refuge had purposely blinded themselves to avoid seeing the monsters, and Malorie was horrified. It was't a school for the blind.

It also said Tom died with the others, and Malorie got a phone call from Rick, and she spent the next five years training the kids for the trip.
Ghatdam that would have been piff as fukk!!:ohhh:

I feel like people are hating on this movie because of how big the discussion and memes have gotten on social media for it. I don't really get people saying it's overhyped because this isn't like a typical blockbuster with some crazy budget. I never saw a trailer for this movie. There wasn't some huge media push, I didn't see nothing for this until my boy tagged me in a post on Facebook and asked for my opinion on it.

With that said, I went in with minimal expectations and I was pleased. I didn't think it was the GOAT movie or anything, but now that I see so many people calling it trash or mediocre I just hit the...
:dwillhuh:

That's why you shouldn't really let other people shape your opinion before you check something out yourself. My take on the film below, I just basically wrote what I got from it and gave my perspective. I've seen a lot of people trashing it because "nothing was explained"...


Here we go:
The creatures/monsters were people's demons or internal fears visualized. The storytelling explained this through various character's dialog throughout the movie. Rel's character broke it down in the beginning when he was describing the end times... how everybody sees it as something else, but this is "it" per se.

The white dude with the bald head alludes that the psychological effects that the people were displaying (mass suicides) was caused by chemical warfare, specifically psychocemical warfare... See below:

"Psychochemical warfare involves the use of psychopharmacological agents (mind-altering drugs or chemicals) with the intention of incapacitating an adversary through the temporary induction of hallucinations or delirium. These agents have generally been considered chemical weapons and, more narrowly, constitute a specific type of incapacitating agent. Although never developed into an effective weapons system, psychochemical warfare theory and research -- along with overlapping mind control drug research -- was secretly pursued in the mid-20th century by the US military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the context of the Cold War. These research programs were ended when they came to light and generated controversy in the 1970s. The degree to which the Soviet Union developed or deployed similar agents during the same period remains largely unknown."

The beginning of the movie also provides context to the chemical warfare aspect, because the news was reporting cases of this happening in Russia, which is known for doing this kind of research since the Cold War as a way of having a trump card on the US if things ever went that far...

Those who weren't effected were... the mentally ill (they already have visions/hallucinations and are battling their demons), the blind and pregnant women. The man that Olympia's goofy ass let in was clearly not right. He gives a story about how he made it to the house, and he says, that a group of mental patients were forcing people to look and see what was out there, and he somehow escaped... and made it to the house without a blindfold on. His story sounded like bullshyt when I heard it, so I knew he was with the shyts.

I say that pregnant women weren't effected either, because dude waited until they both gave birth before he tried to make them see outside. Olympia also, made it to the house without a blindfold when she was pregnant, but after her daughter was born, she threw herself out the window.

I'll leave it at that, but essentially, I don't agree with the notion that the movie didn't explain the events that happened. They didn't spoon feed us, but they gave us tidbits along the way, and I was entertained and felt the suspense from the jump.

:manny:

I liked The Happening too, and the Village. Homie got shytted on when both them movies were pretty good. He also filmed them in the Philly area so it was dope seeing our towns on screen.

Finally caught it last night.

I would've hated that bytch forever if she would've made that lil girl look :mjcry:

It’s fukked up she was even asking the kids that :gucci: Maybe if you had went when Tom said to leave instead of being scared (at first she didn't want to go) , y’all wouldn’t have ran into the crazy nikkas and he could’ve looked.
