A brilliant metaphore for any parent

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2018)

I get it guys, you see a lot of plot holes and need answers. I am curious about so many things in this movie too.
But being a mom of a 5 year old I couldn't stop thinking while watching, that this movie is an amazing metaphore of what parenthood is all about.
Having children make us so vulnerable. With every single important decision in our lives, just like Malorie says, we need to keep our children in mind. And, just like she said again, you let your kids into the world knowing that they might die any time, but you still find strentgh to live with this knowledge, to raise them, to be happy and never forget that you can loose them and it is your job to protect them, no matter what.
I don't know, guys, to me this level of the movie was so strong and Sandra Bullock's acting reflected it so vividly, that I kinda forgot to care about the mysterious creatures and what their agenda is. Isn't it like this with the real world? Does cancer have a secret agenda? Do car accidents have an agenda? Does war have an agenda? They don't. But we still keep giving birth to our kids in this scary world and surrounded by its dangers.
I loved this movie, the acting, the plot and most of all its message.
