227. A Quiet Place. Freaky awesomeness!! After Jim left Dunder-Mifflen things drastically changed in Pennsylvania!! This film takes place several years after the collapse of the paper company Dunder-Mifflen, leading to the collapse of the entire world government. Paper was no longer needed, people no longer read, instead they transformed into blind/arachnids from Starship Troopers/Venom looking creatures that hunt by sound. Now we all know Jim and Pam Halpert were smart people and taught theyre kids Ce-Ce, and Philip along with a third child (ooops spoiler alert) to read therefore they remained human. Sure there's suvivors here and there... Dwight K. Shrute of course knew this was coming and disappeared weeks before hand with Angela and son. But now the world is a super quiet place, and any sound out of the ordinary, these mothers attack!!! So the story takes place on Shrute Farms, as you'll be able to see Dwight eventually gave up on beets and turned to growing corn, and it revolves around the final days of Pam's pregnancy, thats right #4 on the way!! (Let me say Pam does look slightly different in this, I think it was the hair, but still gorgeous!!) Yes, I think having a baby during an apocalypse is a bit irresponsible, add to it not being able to make a sound during birth is just something Michael Scott would do. But yea, and of course when it happens, Pam is alone. Ce-Ce stormed off, a little father/daughter tension...spoiler alert... Ce-Ce is now deaf, as you may have guessed, one too many Scrantonicity II concerts, and a firework incident by Dwight certainly didn't help. And Jim is out with Philip teaching him how to hunt in silence in the wild, and yep... Pam's water breaks, and from this point on it was pure tension...a human being pushed out of your privates with no drugs, on your own, and oh yea, you can't make a sound, which yea...doesn't happen. It really was an awesome flick, tense. The monsters were terrifying and weren't really explained all that much so it gave it more of an open feeling i dunno. I say watch it!! So, who picked up any strange vibes or messages that the movie slipped in? Just wondering. filmbufftim on FB.
