Ignore the SJW Stuff, and it's actually a good movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2019)

So, lets do the SJW check boxes. Interracial-Couple, check. Evil-white-Trump supporting-male, check. Self-fish-white-Trump-Supporting-male, check. Self-sacrificing-perfect-black-man: check. Black=good, check. White=bad, check. Innocent-Weak-female who dies, check. Strong-female-Nazi who lives, check. Show painful pregnancy to justify abortion, check. Doctor who affirms that it's a woman's choice to murder her unborn child (even in the third trimester), check.
Ok, so IGNORE ALL THAT SJW nonsense and, yes, it was a good movie. Great performance as usual from Sandra Bullock. I've heard people say she is not a good actrice. But every movie she is in becomes a hit. She reminds me of Sylvester Stallone in one way: all the people who laugh at her "pathetic acting" have watched her movies a thousand times. Sandra, like Stallone, is no genius actor. The secret to their success is simple. They have both mastered one character perfectly. Stallone has mastered the character of the innocent-tough-guy who manages to fight his way to victory; no matter how formidable the opponent. Bullock has also mastered one particular character perfectly. She is great at playing the innocent woman who manages to survive a horrific situation; even thought all the odds are stacked against her.
The director of this movie knew what he was doing. Bird Box once again affirms that NOT SHOWING the monster is much scarier. The fellow who made this movie, unlike other modern horror directors, understands how to create tension.
I was pleased that the obvious political messaging in this movie was not thrown in my face. It was at least done with some subtly. It did not interfere with the overall story so much that it destroyed it (aka Last Jedi, Gostbusters, etc). Definitely worth watching.
