The first two hours are dogshit.
The last 20 minutes are pretty good, though.
Would've been better if Kevin Bacon's character twas the protagonist and it didn't have the hairy racist little goblina.

Leave the World Behind
I don't get why people are calling it woke
White Lion: ship who brought 1st slaves to the US
Smelly looking black teen tells dad to "never trust white ppl"
Julia Roberts character is le racist Karen
Ethan Hawke's is le bumbling white father
Obama self-insert is le suave gentleman (still dances inappropriately with a married woman for a woke interracial forced moment)
Kevin Bacon is le heartless, selfish survivalist
etc
Movie's worth watching for discussion purposes but it is burdened by woke nonsense
Kevin Bacon ended up relenting and having heart, though. He was the only good part of the movie.
He got 1000 dollars at least for the medicine he gave them. And he represents one of the movie's inconsistencies: a real survivalist would have gone to the mansion's bunker and locked himself in there with his family instead of pointing its existence out to the other characters.
>He got 1000 dollars at least for the medicine he gave them
1000 dollars that has zero value with what's going on. Great deal
I mean, if whoever he's trading with thinks it could have value, then it could have value.
We don't know that. The fact is that he says that himself but ends up taking the money. Again, poor screenwriting? Perhaps
He felt sympathy for the father. He took it as at least something.
Almost none of those elements are in the book. Interesting....
Yes I haven't read the book but apparently those things weren't originally part of it.
I did like the movie's ending as it rewards the little girl and even implies Duvine intervention on her behalf ("I'll be there for you" etc), in the novel it's more pragmatic apparently?
The book was far more ambiguous about everything. Zero mention of cyberattack, coups, defense industry contacts etc. It felt like a big point of the book was that we've come to expect instant communication of information via TV, internet, and cell networks, and when those things aren't available we're seriously going to panic.
The book actually gives clarity on "the noise" and Archie's sickness though. Basically it's an atmospheric effect of secret, experimental aircraft that the US is deploying during the event. Like a sonic boom but far more potent. It also says that this noise caused some people's teeth to fall out and other physiological problems. Archie dies in the book and it's mentioned that Kevin Bacon's wife's teeth are starting to get loose as well.
I personally thought the ambiguity of the events in the book was really effective. The changes made to the movie that spell out everything so clearly kind of ruin the story. They didn't have the balls to leave it largely unexplained.
Interesting. Obama made it a point to let Netflix divulge that he had a lot of "input" in the movie. The sonic boom thing is linked to that thing that happened to some US embassy personnel around the world a couple of years ago.
The movie's coup detat allusion added a layer of obviousness but also ultimate uncertainty but leaving it vaguer or at least with less exposition could have been more effective
meds. take them
Bot? Random sad troll? Who knows.Anyway the payment is clearly shown and the survivalist logic would obviously make the character hide rather than pointlessly giving away that deus ex machina information. Poor screenwriting.
/misc/ brain rot
These are all factual aspects of the movie but low IQ creatures such as you don't deserve any further attention, not least bc you predictably have no counterarguments
Because the hairy racist goblina literally says "you can't trust anyone especially white people"
But she was shown to be stupid. If a dumb character in a movie says a line I don't understand how that is somehow showing the director or producers supporting that idea.
Isnt she portreited as an annoying c**t?
She IS an annoying c**t. Not sure if she's portrayed as one; her father doesn't rebuff her in pic related.
He probably has a bunker of his own; he was contracted to do that bunker and is a survivalist after all. Assuming the rich buttholes could be home, what's the point in risking your neck trying to get shit you already got?
Lol, it’s not woke. It’s straight up Masonic Easter egg galore. A message from the elites telling you their plans.
You fools watched this film and didn’t see a SINGLE bit of the messages and symbolism
Tell us how every number can be broken down and associated with 33 oh wise one.
Aside from that, we’ve got the rising red sun, obey nasa etc etc.
A form of mockery. The Obamas were producers, though of course there are other hidden people behind it. This movie is huge, and the biggest on Netflix. They love pumping in Easter eggs, and laughing as the idiotic masses cannot decipher what will happen
> of course there are other hidden people behind it.
Paranoia isn't knowledge. The movie does hint at some collective solutions and unity against foes (whether internal or foreign it's unclear) but schizo "I have detected le hidden message you fools" ramblings don't sound convincing.
The movie's been poorly received by normies btw
Explain why the elites would tell the masses about their plans through a netflix movie.
Don’t waste your time. You’re talking to troglodytes who will never see beyond the surface.
Checked
Waste of time.
>The last 20 minutes are pretty good, though.
Because this was the only time the movie had stakes. The rest of the movie was the main cast waiting in the house with the only conflict being things the audience doesn't care about
Isn't it weird timing that this movie comes out around the time of an Iranian cyberattack on Pennsylvania?

https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/top-white-house-cyber-aide-says-recent-iran-hack-on-water-system-is-call-to-tighten-cybersecurity-2/
Especially when you consider two points:
1. The source material doesn't mention cyberattacks at all
2. Barack Obama had ‘a lot of notes’ on Leave the World Behind script
