I think this movie portrays what most couples feel like going through life. Can't escape the lives they are living. Eat same food over and over. Mother raises child. Father works all day. Child imitates parents. Child grows up (they grow up so fast don't they). Parents is living in some sort of a nightmare which seems almost out of this world (alien). Nothing like their earlier life. Father works until he dies. Mother follows next. Child buries parents.

@@theaceofspades485 The modern student thrives in a milieu of privileged consumption. All social life is subordinated to the imperative to accumulate commodities that affirm the student’s chosen identity within the social group-so much so that it is possible for the student to ignore much of the substance of schooling. Entertainment is organized around (sub)cultural identity-a dead world of media swill with an appearance vaguely reminiscent of actual life (which has been vanquished by modern capitalism). Sexual activity, long repressed, is now tolerated within the context of relationships which could only be described as masturbatory. If it had any meaning, if it opened up new realms of communication, sex would be a force antagonistic to schooling-instead it is a safety valve. In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud said that civilization uses sexual energy for its own purposes (displacing it through work, for example). We are now so alienated from each other that it is difficult to conceive of a world in which our energies and desires are not systematically controlled and manipulated-a world in which meaningful communication is commonplace. Our capacity for self-regulation and autonomy has been schooled out of us; we are left with a character armor (the colonization of Capital) which protects us from expressing ourselves freely.

@@backwardsman8887 Marcus Garvey was wrong. RazorBladeKandy was white. Chinweizu synthesized both their ideas but it was Rollo Tomassi who perfected them. His text The Rational Male currently has far more appeal than the myriad of black nationalist literature already in circulation. It so happens that he published it the same year Tommy Curry challenged the fantasy of male privilege, referring to being a black male as a death sentence . His The Man Not however was not the first text to address the shortcomings of fem-centric pan-africanism. Nor was his recent 'Decolonising the Intersection' despite highlighting his attempts to emphasise the role of misandry in black female thinking. Chinweizu (Anamtomy of female power) and Shahrazad Ali (The Black Mans Guide) also made similar efforts but it was George Subira (1992) who hit the mark . Unlike Chinweizu, Subira did not draw upon Esther Vilar's 1976 classic, The Manipulated Man. Unlike most disciplined minds, Subira was an original thinker and one of the first to advocate a programme of economic leadership. Most modern black rhetoricians can offer no such programme or agenda because they are largely victims of black female programming. Their minds were long domesticated meaning they are reduced to reproducing aimless echo chambers almost every time they talk. Neely Fuller (1957) was not hostage to such conditioning but his programme seems to have a key fault. Despite realising the incredible driving motivating force of sexual expression , he still managed to downplay it's role, especially how it compares to the larger logic of antiblackness and global white terror domination. Although Charles Mills (1997) did indirectly develop his ideas, he neglected to integrate the foundation his own work borrowed from, "The Sexual Contract." (1996) Neil Postman, like Jeff Schmidtt, was one of the few people capable of making sense of these divergent ideas (much like John Gatto and Jan Matthews were two of those rare individuals with the pieces of the puzzle.) Conventional panafrikanism doesn't even realise there is a jigsaw to be solved. It has a distorted conception of itself because it views the world through a damaged lens incapable of accountability and self-reflection. PanAfrikanism will not produce any quick results either because unlike Chinweizu, Subira and Curry, it still refuses the interrogate and recognise the role of women in sabotaging the afrikan agenda. Texts like Addicted to White work towards this, only, in this age of intersectional confusion and fragmented voices in the wind, it isn't necessary to silence this perspective; it is enough just to drown it out. Jacques Ellul and Guy Debord surely foresaw this tragic arrangement, when few others could. Men have been fooled, black and white. It is no longer a question of race-first but male first, if not black-male first at the very least. Men are going to have to muster the clarity and courage to challenge the corporate-feminine regime dominating their "emptied" lives. If anything is to be redeemed black thinkers will need to prioritise the black pill and realise that the fundamental question of what it means to be a woman is as urgent as the need to ask what it means to be white. Gwiz [phone] [e-mail] Addendum: 1. Attention to a woman is like a blowjob to a man 2. When a man's contempt for women surpasses his lust for them, only then shall he become wise 3. Women think all men are the same - that is their strength. Men think all women are different - that is their weakness 4. A man's facade of strength is his biggest weakness; a woman's facade of weakness is her biggest strength 5. Men fake interest, women fake orgasms A. Women are not to be loved; they are to be handled B. Women are not complicated; they are complicating C. A man must value his time the same way women put premiums on their body D. Men struggle for physical dominance but women opt for social domination E. Men compete; women conspire

As our capacity for coherent natural self-regulation was systematically broken down, a new system of self regulation took its place, a coherent system, incorporating all the aspects of self-repression. We participated in capital’s ongoing project of colonization by colonizing ourselves, by continually working at the construction of a unitary character-structure (character armor), a unitary defense against all drives, feelings, and desires which we learned were dangerous to express.

Another better example of this are that there is clouds, irregular and cookie cutter i guess you could say, but after gemma told the boy about clouds being all different shapes where she is from, the clouds slowly differenciate day by day. Or perhaps theyre short but fast maturing lifespan may be that one family has had a baby, so the parasite starts as a baby, to act normal, but he growns so fast because hes ever only seen adults. i feel like this is obvious but what im trying to say is this is all just a rince repeat to learn human activity edit: spelling so yall can chill stop replying and fighting.

I liked this. It was different. Kind of had an Insidious vibe to it. As someone fascinated by quantum theory and space travel , I thought the part where she follows “the boy” through the other dimensions blew my mind. I think it is probably possible to pass through dimensions like that we just don’t have the knowledge yet. One of the theory’s of traveling at light speed is that we manipulate space and time around us . Essentially instead of moving incredibly fast, we fold around ine and space. Imagine you’re standing on a rug, and there is a book on the opposite end. It’s too far away to reach. So instead of traversing the rug to the other end, imagine pulling it towards you and tucking the rug away until you’re close enough to touch the book.

"Not much more to it than this" made me scream into a pillow with frustration lol There is SO much more to it than this, and very easily to find? I hope you google the movies by now as part of your analysis because it's very easy to find out more about this one. Some obvious things: - there are no time shenanigans with past families. All of these parents live in stacked realities, occupying the same or similar space at the same time. Martin hints to that when he says that Yonder already has a diverse community of preexisting residents, and it's also hinted at in the poster, where we see several housefronts overlap. - Tom's malady is probably lung cancer. The discoloration fits in with the position of the lungs in the torso and resembles how late stage lung cancer patients look. - the child is of the same species as the other "aliens". When Gemma asks it to imitate who it met (the teachers and therefore facilitators), it can easily do so because their bodies have the same make up. At most, the species may be separated into different tasks like hive insects, with dedicated lurers, teachers and food providers. - this is not a research project, it's just their life cycle. The hint to that is the cuckoo. The cuckoo only provides just enough imitation to fool its targets into raising the chicks, it is not interested in anything past propagating its own species in regards to other birds. - the species is fae or fae-adjacent, not aliens. I will die on this hill. Not only is Yonder a very typical fairy tale word, we also have elements of everything being green, the visual reference to the Irish housing bubble, Martin IMMEDIATELY OFFERING FOOD TO THE COUPLE, the close resemblance to changeling myths, and Gemma's remark in the beginning that the cuckoo's actions are (terrestial) Nature. - this movie criticises capitalist systems, yes, this is canon as confirmed by Finnegan, if you are curious about the how and why and references I really recommend googling up the movie and reading some interviews on it.

Gemma being a teacher ties into the theme of seeing someone else’s child as your own.

[@nezziethomas4621]

My theory is that Tom and Gemma are the 9th couple that has gone through this. This would explain why everything is almost right, because they've gone through this experiment at least 8 times (Enough to get the design of the houses right, the food to look but not taste normal, and to get a kid to do some normal kid stuff). But not enough times to get everything perfect (perfect clouds, completely identical houses.) The other couples shown that Tom and Gemma discover are the previous 8 couples that have gone through this.

[@kepler-444f3]

Did you also notice the clouds changed later into the movie.

I would have appreciated a scene at the end of the movie where the now older alien kid adjusts the clouds to look more different before filling up his gas tank. This could allude to the simulation getting better and better with each generation of alien kids as they learn more about the world and update it.

[@jacobring7274]

No need. The parasite's interest in a deeper understanding of us was a light amusement at best. Just as we are slightly amused by a fish in a tank, but would almost never have an interest in empathizing with it, much less release it back into the wild.

i think an alternative ending would be tom finding a break to the simulation while digging down and from there, escape, or actually have a productive death unlike the one he has in the movie.

[@karenmolinabarra8316]

Tbh, If that would have been the case, it would have also been quite predictable since that is what Tom and everybody was expecting to happen.

[@funkykins]

@@karenmolinabarra8316 i agree, but the movie kinda had a boring ending because nothing happened and that was just another couple who got trapped in the simulation

[@laciena]

I actually found an interview from the director about this movie! The director said they died because of the toxic environment they were in, in addition to the fake food they were eating. These people were in the environment of the aliens. Second the parallel universe she was in was happening as the same time as her, but she was not meant to be there or see that. It wasn’t meant for her kind. You are accurate about the feelings. The aliens were incapable of feeling and that’s why there were no other people there. The aliens gave people what they thought they wanted, which was a nice home, but didn’t realize that’s not the ONLY thing us humans need. Your assessment about that is correct.

[@translatorlviv7609]

they not just gave them home, but imprisoned them

[@brandya.g.1401]

I was thinking the same thing about the toxic environment since Tom developed his cough when he started digging and there was a still shot of the dirt with purple tinge. Also they both died so young (no apparent aging).

They were only there for probably a little over half a year. Look at how fast the boy grows. After 3 months he was already around 9-10.

SOME QUESTIONS: Why didn't they try to enter other houses? Why didn't they look at house numbers to understand where the number sequence restarted? Why didn't they try to draw a map? Why didn't they think to build up an hot air balloon to escape? Why is the amount of soil extracted from the hole so small? Where did the ladder go when Martin filled the hole? Why didn't they smash the TV? Why didn't they ask the child to read them its strange book? How could they lock the child inside the car? There is no car that cannot be opened from the inside. Why didn't they build artigianal weapons if they feared the child or someone else?
