[@LeeLee007]

My mom has always had a hard time conveying to my siblings & I that she loves us. My dad however, is a completely different story. My father has always been the type of man who believed in our dreams, sometimes even more than us. He was always a very involved parent when I was growing up, I mean; he went to every parent teacher conference there was throughout each school year to check up on how we were doing in school, he volunteered to chaperone field trips on his days off from work, he came to all of our games/shows/etc. whenever we were involved in something in school. I remember there was this one time he told my sisters & I to get dressed up in our prettiest dresses and he took us to the fanciest restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life. He told us to order whatever we wanted and that the sky was the limit, needless to say we went berserk and ordered a bunch of food that we couldn’t even finish, but my dad didn’t care. He just wanted us to enjoy ourselves. Once dinner was over, he tipped our server $100 and we left the restaurant. The man was so shocked, he literally chased us out of the restaurant, telling my dad that he’d given him far too much money. My father just laughed and told him he’d given him just the right amount because he was such a great server to us that evening. When we got in the car to go home that night, my dad told us that if a man can’t treat us the way we were treated that night, not to even waste our time on dating him. Fast forward to now and my dad hasn’t been in the best health lately, he had a stroke in August last year and hasn’t really been the same, but when I went to visit him and my mom a couple of weeks ago, he made sure to tell me that my sisters and I are the best things to have ever happened to him and that he’s grateful and happy to be our father. It made me bawl my eyes out.

I can attest to the fact that people find plot holes in real life stories. In college, I wrote an experience of mine as a creative writing project, and half the class found plot holes with it. It was a story about finding out that a high school friend of mine had committed suicide and my reaction, but the thing my classmates focused on was the *way* I found out. They insisted that “the main character” should have found out sooner. When I told them I had written it exactly as it had happened, they insisted it just wasn’t believable in a story.

[@KanaHyoshi]

I had done a similar project. I wrote about when the locks of my dad's old car broke and I was stuck inside. I am diabetic and had a low glucose at the time. I was about five or six when it happened. "If she was really that weak, the adrenaline would have helped her break the window." "Well why didn't he just smash the window with a rock?" "Why wouldn't he have snacks inside for her?"

The first time I watched this movie, I was at a friend's house and it was around midnight. Nobody else in the house was awake so the only sound was coming from the TV. When the lamp shattered towards the beginning, my friends dogs started barking from downstairs because of the sudden noise. I was so on edge and scared from the loud barking that I screamed without making noise, made the same face that Emily made and hid under my blanket. After the dogs stopped barking, I peeked out from under my blanket, and my friend who was on her phone laughed at me and I quickly shushed her. Long story short, the use of sound in this movie is phenomenal.

[@tiannacowan6999]

I really hate drawing attention to myself in class, so I've kinda trained myself to sneeze super quiet to the point that no one says bless you. People don't realize, but living in a world where you're essentially forced to be quiet, makes you start habits whether you like it or not (such as the mom's muffled scream even though she stepped on a nail). I feel like it's just cheap to call that a plot hole because those are loud things that can be easily trained out of.

[@DraconicDuelist]

-Yelling in pain= Can be trained to be locked off or muffled into silence -Sneezing= Some people are incredibly loud (myself included), but in times of need you can clamp your mouth shut and sneeze through your nose (more snot but quieter) or clamp your nose and mouth (causes it to go more for your ears which could cause infection issues and hurts, but is even quieter). My sneezes _hurt_ if I try anything to reduce them, but I can... -Yawning= Not too loud but to silence it, you can yawn with your mouth closed. -Burping= Again, mouth closed followed by a slight exhale. -Farting= This is where my brother would die... But if you clench your muscles hard, you can halt it in it's escape and either cause it to reverse direction for a time or it'll be more able to be controlled in short, quiet releases. The biggest downside is it's kind of painful inflating your intestine for a period of time. -Hiccoughing= Mouth shut, chest muscles clenched. Now you just have to deal with painful diaphragm contractions causing you to twitch/spasm... -No comment on labor...

Talking about your "People will find plot holes in real life accounts" point, my Grandfather was born just shortly after the turn of the century and so he lived through a LOT of history. After he retired, he and Grandma were living near a university that offered a free course for senior citizens, so Grandpa (who, btw, had for a number of years written a column for the local paper) decided to take a class on writing (he figured that you can always learn something new). So as he began this course on writing, he decided that he'd draw on his own experiences and write accounts of events from his life. The students that were with him in the class (a bunch of 20-something college students) told him multiple times that his writing wasn't good because the stories he wrote just weren't believable (again, he was writing about things that had happened to him during his life). So, yes, you are completely accurate with that statement.

[@dannyanderson4385]

True, but it is also a lot less black and white than that. The thing is, it's possible that your grandfather's life events wouldn't always make great storytelling. Life isn't a narrative; random things happen without any buildup, there's no rhyme or reason and people die without having achieved a successful character arc. Everyone's life is a TV show that gets cancelled mid-season. The problem is that inexperienced students still often pride themselves and place way too much stock in the concept of stories being "realistic" or "believable". These are toxic words for writers and a good teacher should stamp them out early. It is very possible to tell a story with the inherent randomness of everyday life, but other aspects need to be have some consistent narrative to satsify people's placement on patterns. So, things like, tone, setting, themes, motifs, etc. have to be little creative licenses that keep some form of structure. The randomness of life can make stories feel alive and pulse with ingenuity, it's a shame your Grandfather was with people who didn't understand that or a teacher who maybe hadn't had the chance to explain how to balance the two.

This is so true. (rant below somewhat related) I've been thinking about this channel even more recently because of all the dumbass critic reviews of Bohemian Rhapsody, which is a fantastic film that did exactly what it set out to do and yet the critics are just determined to shit on it (though the audience seems to be loving it anyway, reminds me of the split that happened with Venom). Too many people go into a movie wanting to dislike it, like they think it makes them seem smart or something. With Bohemian Rhapsody, it takes 2 seconds of watching interviews to see how hard the actors worked to do the band justice. And all their dedication pays off, the movie is a celebration of Freddie, hugely entertaining and appropriately private a lot of the time. The critics who are mad that the film itself isn't more of an artsy rip-him-apart thing are just?? No one was setting out to upstage Mercury or exploit his story, it's a tribute and it's beautiful? Fuck off @ those critics. It's a total blast of a movie. TLDR this channel is a beautiful act of positivity & appreciation for art in a world that thinks it's cooler & smarter to be immune to all enjoyment. Joke's on them because like a great man once said "liking things is more fun than disliking things"

Ophelia W i don’t think all critics or people in general go into movies wanting to dislike them I think sometimes there’s just dumb things in movies people cannot get past but let’s be realistic here no one is going to like literally everything in the world And critics are still important it’s their job to make points about movies music games books etc in a argumentative way souly for arguments sake it’s kinda an acquired taste to have someone challenge the things you like and I think that’s a great thing because it leads to (ideally) new ideas and people going out of their comfort zone and questioning the things they do and don’t like. At the end of the day everything is opinionated for example you clearly really enjoyed the movie bohemian rhapsody if I go see it I may not like it and that’s okay if everyone liked the same things there would be no new ideas there would just be the same thing being created over and over sorry I typed a book at you.

[@moonlightthenightlight4421]

The Quiet Place just made me feel sad when the boy died. Not just because “Holy shit they actually went there they killed a young child nobody is safe now fuck”, but because, I have several younger siblings. A four year old, a two year old, and an eight month old. I can totally see the two year old grabbing a toy car, not knowing the consequences. I can imagine and FEEL the panic running towards him as he stands there innocently with a car in hand. I can see him in the boy’s place, gone instantly with a blur and splatter of blood. I can see the four year old just not being able to learn to be quiet. She’ll be screaming for something, she’ll be roaring as a dinosaur or a dragon, she’ll let out a loud laugh. She’d be gone too. The eight month old would just be crying or fussing. She’d be letting out loud wails inside our house, and suddenly, they’re inside. She’s gone, and no matter how hard we tried to be quiet, we’d start hyperventilating or just crying from fear, and since they’re *right there*, the house is suddenly empty. (Jeez I don’t even want to think about my dogs)

[@eventhorizon]

What I love about this channel is I find it will often either go places I didn't consider, or farther with things I did consider with films I love- or just points out the things I love and it's wonderful to see someone else appreciates those aspects... OR- It will make me appreciate movies I think are bad by helping me see the good in them. Like- I can appreciate things in Origins Wolverine asides from the opening montage and some camera work, and when I clicked on the everything great with I thought the idea of having that much good (I forget the length) was absurd and would need serious padding- and it was honest, with great points and no padding. In fact- come to think of it- I think that was the first one I clicked on because of how bad and disappointing I thought it was going to be an effort I would find funny and full of fail- and instead I was amazed that I actually agreed with the points made. I don't want to really compare channels- but I would rather watch something that's playing as I do things that's designed to make you see good things in such a range of movies, including ones that really weren't that great, than ones that just tear movies down. I'm not singling out a channel I'm sure most people automatically jump to with that description- truth is there are many channels who gain viewers by tearing things down, and in ways that just aim to be funny by being mean. This, Movies with Mikey... they really talk about the things to love and appreciate about SO many movies- Though it is funny one one of FilmJoy channel's ongoing releases where they specifically try to find the good in bad movies, when they end up with movies that are so bad they struggle to find the good in it... that doesn't happen often, and it helps me appreciate films more.

So I know this comment is super old, but I'm here anyway. You were agreeing to him saying that no matter how 'bad' what's happening in the movie is, if it made you feel how the director intended, it's a 'good' moment. I absolutely agree too. I'll never understand people who get angry at authors/screenwriters for doing bad things in movies; specifically killing off beloved characters. An example that springs to mind is The Hunger Games books. Towards the end of the final book, a central and beloved character is killed off in a brutal and heartbreaking fashion, and readers were so upset that this happened that many stopped reading out of outrage at the author. But? If you were so invested in this character that their death upsets you this much, then the author did a great job? And as upsetting as this is, if it's making you feel something real, then it's a great moment? It's like how I feel about my favourite tv show (which I won't name because saying this is sort of a giant spoiler). The final episode ends with almost everyone outside of the main character dying, and this one character having to live on after losing everything important to him. This is Not the satisfying conclusion I wanted and expected for my favourite character, but I'm Glad it ends this way, because if I can be this heartbroken over people that don't really exist, then it's true art. I could go on about this forever, but bottom line is: no matter how objectively good or bad a movie is, I usually only judge it based on whether it made me feel anything. Whether that be simple enjoyment of a fun but simple story, or bawling-my-eyes-out heartbreak, if I felt something and wasn't just passive, then it's a good movie.

[@Tazzykiki]

-I remember thinking about how the military apparently hadn't come up with anything to fight back against the aliens, but before the video I started thinking: With how fast the aliens are and how loud the military is, they would be too panicked and focused on defense rather than offense. I also thought about how the movie only shows ONE town and never really mentions another, for all we know another state could be heavily fortified and have actually found a way to fight back somehow, but are too afraid to contact anyone else in case they endanger someone or themselves. -I also love how this movie is both vague and explanatory with it's scenes. For example, two scenes: the old man screaming and the other families not responding to the beacon. The first scene with the old man is explanatory but no one mentions a thing. He's lost his wife and has nothing else to live for, he's old and probably a bit loose in the head so he just gives up and screams. The second scene is a bit vague but not a giant plot hole. We're led to believe that the other survivors have been killed since they didn't respond. But given how much noise is coming from outside and the pure chaos happening, why would anyone want to go outside? For all we know they could be huddled down in a bunker? Or maybe they are dead. And I just love that mystery of it.

[@eventhorizon]

Eh- I think cornmeal staying like that would be harder to believe, even if the animals eat it- that stuff breaks down pretty quickly and any amount of moisture would just make it mush... And continuing to grind it would be noisy. My feeling was they were either near sand naturally- you can find it in rocky areas 'cause it's just ground rocks really, or if there's a sand/salt storage place for winter storms, they would have access to sand that would seriously last 1 family laying little trails for years and years... and there's a mix of both. They're by a waterfall- likely there's sand around and by the water they can scoop out and dry in a pinch. Though my feeling was probably just getting it from where it's stored for bad weather. Even in places that may get ice a couple of times every few years they usually have piles of sand somewhere just in case, even if they don't spend the money on mountains of salt...

Or something like that.

[@theillusionist1494]

I have exactly one complaint to do with this movie, and it's nothing to do with the movie itself. And it's actually not really that much of a complaint. A sequel has been confirmed, set in the same world with the same characters (and, right now, it _is_ looking like it comes after this movie chronologically, so, a sequel, not a prequel). I'm absolutely more than okay with that. My only real concern is how they're going to keep the tone from this film while still having it make sense for the characters. Like, this movie ends with the implied tone of "Now that we've figured out these things' weakness, we're gonna go hunt them down and take back our world." Which I, personally, think sounds like a pretty dang awesome idea for a story. The only question I have is how/if they could make a movie based on that premise that still falls under "horror thriller" category. Like, I'm sure there are plenty of successful series that changed genres between movies, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. However, at the same time, I can't really think of how they could put the same characters in the same setting and still have it be a "horror thriller" without undoing their arcs and making Lee's sacrifice less impactful. If I could pick, I'd be 100% okay with the first movie being a thriller story about a family quietly surviving an alien invasion together, and the second being an action story about the same family loudly stomping around the world, challenging the aliens to avenge those they've lost. Call it "A Louder World" or something equally cheesy and fun. If Krasinski is good enough to pull it off - which I think he's proven he can - it'll be pretty awesome.

@@mokies7811 I feel like people continue to miss the point. The Cinemasins guys don't hate movies, the videos are just jokes and a lot of the sins are stupid inconsequential things that don't matter but they're trying to come off as "this is what an asshole would say." If you listen to their podcast, they really love movies and don't at all talk down to people. In fact they were going to start something like cinemawins but Lee just happened to start his first. I want to support cinemawins too, and for the most part I like his work when he goes into the overviews and stuff, but he did basically copy/paste this format and just do the opposite. It seems like cheating and a weird extra dig when he mocks or steals specific jokes (like the Prometheus school of running away from things) which really feels cheap. But overall, the quality is good so I'll continue to watch

[@YKDDS91]

I enjoyed this movie so much. It was actually the first time the entire audience was dead silent. I watched it on premiere day and the theatre was packed and it was the biggest theatre (both the number of seats and the size of the screen) in my state and 200 something people didn't even make a sound after the first 10 min.

[@henryknippling2408]

Also it’s not impossible to believe that they didn’t conceive the child before the aliens came, or even before they knew it hunted by sound. And if you will notice the mother wasn’t supposed to give birth for another month. They were still working on the soundproof room, because they thought they still had time, they didn’t work on it sooner because other things likely took precedence over an event that was still months away from being an issue. Also regarding the nail. I’m sure she knew she pulled it up, but she’s like 8months pregnant and carrying a large load of laundry she had other concerns, I’m sure she was originally planning to bend the nail down again, but before she got there she went into labor

[@Edzi07]

She got pregnant some time after losing their 4y/o showed by it going from day ~89 to day ~470, about 100 days after as she was about 38 weeks pregnant. Also to add to your point, i assume that knowing you're pregnant in an apocalyptic scenario is hard at first as you won't have a pregnancy test easily available. So they would have lost some time due to that, like a month or so

[@Tinkertotz13]

I agree with everything after your first sentence. There is literally no way she got pregnant before the aliens attacked or after they knew they hunted by sound. They were already months into the "apocalypse" when their son died, and then they skipped to past day 400. Pregnancies only last 9 months, so no, she couldn't have been pregnant before.

[@Toneill029]

N8 Dawg Waterfall creates noise that the creatures know that it isn’t some person or animal, if a snake attacked a warm rock it would just be wasting energy and hurting itself. These creatures know enough to tell the difference between one noise from another and it seemed to have been a pretty recent discovery and it would just be too much work and time and noise to move everything that they have that has been working out great for them. Even then the waterfall is certainly not a perfect system that they certainly didn’t have the time to test out considering the potential loses that could come from it failing.

[@saxtonfreet2479]

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie, and always love seeing horror movies with interesting concepts/rules to them. Cabin in the woods was great at poking fun at the horror trope, by basically having people behind the scenes dictating things to make sure a ritual is seen through, and ultimately getting comeuppance. The sound design of this film is incredible, and nails the feeling of trying to be quiet, example being trying to grab your gameboy from your parents room without waking them up (SLIGHTLY lower risk that this movie)

[@myvanwycalista3387]

I didn't even know people thought the waterfall thing was a plothole until now. Before the birth, their life was fine relatively speaking. They didn't live by the waterfall because they didn't have to. They had a nice, warm house and all they paid for it was their voices. Having a deaf daughter, they probably didn't care that much that they couldn't talk. And what would they even do in the winter? If they lived at the waterfall, the house would be unprepared for when they moved back. It's so stupid.

Have you read the original script treatment? John’s death is even more heartbreaking. He screams “I love you” instead. Yeah, the final version is obviously a lot better, but I obviously imparted those lines upon the actual ending.

that's not heartbreaking. i'd have burst out laughing if thats how it went. you could not make that not look dumb as hell or super corny/awful. it wouldn't fit at all. I really dislike this movie for multiple reasons but i can still admit that it's amazingly acted and there are plenty of scenes that i still find very tense. the way it ended is probably the best that death could be done. if he screamed "I love you" that wouldn't work at all in my opinion. i cant see it even coming close. Signing it in silence as the music came in was a much more impactful way of doing it i think.
