Well I liked the movie

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2019)

I have to be honest and maybe harsh (to some) in this review. This is for the dumb part of people brains who can't seem to comprehend, understand, or in easy words "just don't get it." Bird Box in my opinion is about us today now in the present. We are connected (internet, games, movies, music, headphones) and disconnected (human contact, face to face, socializing with others in the same space and/or room) at the same time. One thing I read from reviews is that it doesn't tell us what it is. Why does everything have to be explain plainly? Why should the movie give u an answer to your question? Do you have all the answers to your life? If you do then you're boring. Now back to saying why I feel this movie is about us. The beginning tells part of the movie. I know I didn't see it at first until I watch the movie alone by myself (disconnected), after watching it with my family (connected). The portrait and conversation about the portrait and artist gives you an base idea about the movie. The birds in a box weren't about the freaking birds in a box. The people were in a box (house, store, car, sanctum, hell our minds) once again us now today society. I don't want to discuss the river. Oh I will, if want to add more thought then that could have represented how we go through life. There will be calm, crazy, chaos and peace not in that order. You complain the movie was long and drawn out but you also complain when a movie is too short. Make up your minds people, short or long but it can't be both. The movie gave us viewers a little bit of everything we like love or do . It showed sex, violence, fear, panic, horror, shock, adaptation, chaos, psychos, death, love, conquer, hate etc. Then the movie actually put people together in a house (birds in a box) trying to figure out what's going on with the world around them. In a group there usually is a a**hole, a believer on a higher power, a person totally confused, a dim whit, an addict, the brave, the optomist, the pessimist,
Come on the represented most or all of us. Let's me not even discuss the main main (yes I said it twice like some millennials do) character. That person was already in denial, a pessimist, emotionless and closed off from society in one way or another. Maybe it stemmed from nurture not nature. Oh and the ones who say/ think why the birds get to see and have all the fun are idiots. If you pay close attention they reacted when the so called creatures were around or close. They reacted which my guess could be they can sensed (something we stop doing since things are easily given to us) the danger that something is wrong. Birds have it in their system to fly south, they don't look for a southward/ southern/ go south bound sign. The strong ones just go and do it. To the reviewers who took more from the movie then wanting an answer and "it's too long", thank you for having open mind when watching the movie. To those I offended I'm sorry that your closed mind didn't get it. Oh and the Happening was based on how nature (trees, plants, soil, hell Earth) fights back not on purpose but fixes itself from destructive things we (humans) do, did, or have done. Bird Box base on people that could, did, or will survive a creatures, could mean a major crisis, since we never truly see with our eyes, because even the characters that saw seen different things.
