[@wholeque]

I think the deer symbolises that in times of peril, we must come and work together to survive. That’s why the pack of deer grew larger throughout the movie. The deer approached the family multiple times peacefully to interact, but because of our differences, because of our lack of trust and inability to work with what we don’t understand, they were shooed away. This theme is illustrated many times throughout the movie.

America will destroy themselves before coming together for a solution. I literally said all of this VERBATIM! And then in another conversation about a year ago, I was talking about how easy it would be for China to disable America at the flick of a switch seeing as how the majority of phones are made in China. You think they didn't add a "kill switch"? America is too dependent on China for everything damn thing. They do not even have to step foot on American soil to cripple the States.

The ending to me signified how selfish society is or has become. The young girl has wandered off without a care, fills her stomach with food left to help keep people alive then watches the last episode of friends as that was her focus at the start of the film and again when she was upset the internet didn't work. She was wholly single minded and focused on herself. My take on Archie was that he was obsessed with beauty, then he loses his teeth and becomes grotesque, disfigured. Julia's character hates people but is forced to interact and change her opinions, looking for help from those she hates...people. I feel much of it is a social commentary on society and how we can be so self centred but we're often challenged to rethink this and reflect.

[@firstlast9846]

*I think the deer and flamingoes* approaching the house was meant to represent nature reclaiming what’s there’s. The whole scene where they are screaming at the deer serves to make the point of how stupid humans are.. here we are waving our arms at wild animals and screaming because they’re scared and they are just deadpan, calm and bewildered.. so who’s the real animal? Sorta thing.

[@DrewGems]

I wouldn't call the little girl selfish though. She represented the innocence of the younger generations. She was kept in the dark about what was really going on. The adults didn't want her to know anything... meanwhile she saw a lot of the signs first. She was the first to notice that the oil tanker was heading getting closer to the beach... nobody really paid her any mind. She saw all the deer... nobody wanted to listen to her. Then when her and the rest of her family were in the bed towards the end, she brought up the story about the guy who refused to be saved, then asked God why he didn't save him when he died. God told him, he sent a boat... and all these other things, but he refused all of it because of his belief that God was going to protect him. This was essentially a metaphor of everything she observed before the adults. After she told that story she said, "I'm tired of waiting." Then the next day she ran off in search for help. She ended up finding all that food, the bunker, and even got to see if her favorite show had a happily ever after. Meanwhile, the adults were going through all this bullshit... and eventually realized that they needed to seek shelter at the bunker... not knowing that the little girl was already there. The one who saw all of the signs before the grown ups was the one who found safety on her own doing. To me... it was really only the adults who were selfish and stubborn in their own ways. It's a direct reflection of people who become so corrupted by society, that they become what they fear most. There's an idea that life is guided by two forces... love and fear. You either become more of what you love, or more of what you fear. As we grow into adults, most of use aren't self aware enough to realize that we're reflecting one of these two forces. In the movie... the points where they were making realizations about themselves, it was somebody who was younger who made them realize it. Children are not as corrupted adults because they have less experiences in life to even know what to fear. Over time... we start to establish those fears more and more. It's a metaphor for the balance between knowing and ignorance. This is exactly why they say "ignorance is bliss". The more you learn about life, the more fearful you become because of your awareness of vulnerability. Kids have no conscious of most vulnerabilities. As a reactive species, we can only act out of what we know. I feel like this whole movie was just one big metaphor of the things that we fear the most. War is the ULTIMATE self-destructing act. But it all comes as a result of the issues that we are too afraid to address until it's too late. Everything that was happening is the absolute extreme result of that stubbornness. We're not selfish because that's just the way that humans are naturally... we BECAME selfish due to the environments that we created and the systems that we function by. So the movie reflects that.

We're in the system that is designed to absorb and consume our energy, and to disconnect us from our ancestral memory, Because disconnected people are easier to manipulate.

Today in this society most have completely forgotten who they are to the point that they no longer see or recognize reality". What's natives have been saying since the beginning of their arrival, the citizens of America, your intelligence is the fuel that runs this system, just how external mining takes place they take natural resources, the bone flesh and blood of the earth called oil, uranium and they put it through a mining refinement process, And convert its being into a form of energy to run their system this leaves behind poisons and toxins into the life environment, and while the being part of the human is being mined through how the human is imprinted to percieve reality this leave behind poisons and toxins, those poisons and toxins are the fears doubts and insecurities that now become a part of our perceptional reality" because we are a part of the same energy source Somewhere in the process of this mindset man has forgotten that we are Apart of the Earth.

[@nuglifer]

People are very hard on the little girl. She is the first one to notice and internalize that things have changed, and not for the better. She also senses where safety is in the abandoned house with the shelter. Yet she is overlooked and ignored. She knows it's all over, so chooses to watch "Friends" instead. She is nostalgic for the show, obsessed with it, finds comfort in it. She is too young to have known life in the 90's, yet finds enjoyment in entertainment from that time period. To me she didn't just represent an apathetic, lazy generation, but a generation of people who know the world is over, but simply accept that they can't do anything about it. She knows it's all finished, but finds comfort in looking back to an idealized vision of life before. I think about how often I get anxious and upset about climate change. I think about how I was so paralyzed by fear when I first heard about COVID. Like that little girl I had a feeling it was going to be an event that would change the world despite everyone telling me I was crazy. What did all my stress get me? What does it get me? What does my despair at the climate change do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I can't do anything about it. I can see it. I can accept it. I can't change it. Might as well watch "Friends." Many people in my generation, myself included, will never own a home. We will never have any semblance of what was considered a "normal American life" by generations before us. And honestly? We can't do anything about it. It's like G.H. says: there is no plan, there is no puppetmaster. There is no inherent order to all this. You're not the main character. You're not gonna have an "arc." Things just are, and rarely do they make sense.

Nice theory 🤔

[@DrewGems]

I caught that too. I always looked at the show "Friends" in that way too. It was a depiction of a world that people during that time actually believed all of America would become. They paint this perfect picture of friends who grow up together and all become successful and fall in love with each other and live happily ever after. The little girl was so adamant about finding out if Ross and Rachel ended up together, it seems like the little girl represented every innocent child that wants to see their life play out in that fairytale ending fashion. But that wasn't the reality anymore. The large majority of society is dysfunctional, and most of the time, doesn't pan out the way that it does on "Friends". When all four of the family were in the bed and the little girl is telling her mom the story about God and him sending the guy all these things to save him after he asks God why he didn't save him when he dies... and then she says that she's tired of waiting... It's a direct metaphor for how stubborn humans are when it comes to saving ourselves. We will literally see ALL the signs leading us to our own destruction and never-mind it until it's too late. We're all stuck in believing this fairytale idea of what life is supposed to look like in America (because we sold ourselves on ideals that look like the show "Friends"), but meanwhile, most of us are living in broken homes, relationships are waining, most of us are locking ourselves deeper into our own spaces and letting time dilute our friendships. Everybody is starting to keep more to themselves and the very few around us. But the little girl makes the decision to go find out herself anyways because she's oblivious as to what is going on. She runs off on her own and nobody can find her in the midst of a literal war. All the chaos going on around them that only the adults are aware about, and the little girl's innocence just wants to find out if that fairytale ending happens on Friends. At what point do they (or we) decide to reveal a lot of the scary truths about life and interfere with her innocence? Hence... "Leave the World Behind"... I think the title of the movie is about us letting go of propagandizing ourselves into believing in fairytale endings and keeping ourselves in delusion about what life ACTUALLY looks like. If we're too afraid to address REAL shit, then we'll never get to a point of fixing any issues. We have to be completely honest about where we're at as a society, in order to look towards the direction that we seek. Life isn't always going to have a fairytale ending. We have to accept that it can go wrong... recognize why it can go, or has gone wrong... and adjust ourselves not to make decisions that would make it go wrong.

I've been pondering the intriguing possibility that what we're witnessing in this movie is a magnetic polarity reversal. Flamingos flying north instead of their usual southward migration, deer exhibiting curious behavior, and satellites unexpectedly going offline-all seem to be hints of this enigmatic phenomenon. Even the opening of movie with the upside-down cities and the camera twists drop subtle hints to a rotation event. If it were merely the three-stage occurrence, how would we explpain these peculiar shifts in animal behavior?

[@Thiago--de6ez]

Really thought about that too, but first i was like, is it the russians, chinese? then i was thinking of solar flares, on that scene that showed the earth from the moons point of view, bit after i started thinking of the magnetic polarity reversal, then again i went to back to the possibility of russians or chinese at war with the USA, with the approach that the dude explained in the car, where they desestabilize the country, and with the scene of the city under attack i was like ' ' so now the invasion began' ' .

[@skinfan2806]

A magnetic field displacement would be the only thing that would cause the animals to act in this way. Humans don’t have the technology to cause this. I think the books editor got it right. It’s an alien attack. That’s why we see Rose in a NASA shirt and the shots of space and the whole Earth from a space view. That’s also why the flyers being dropped by the drones are in foreign languages. If it was foreign countries trying to terrorize the US population, they’d drop flyers in the language that we could read, English. The US dropped flyers over Japan before the atomic bombs In Japanese not English. Who would make this mistake? Aliens who speak only one common language would. George’s country destabilization theory not only works to destabilize a dysfunctional country but would work if used by aliens to destabilize a dysfunctional world. His defense contractor friend knew what was happening before it happened but acted in a way that meant whatever was going to happen couldn’t be stopped by the US. Attacks from a foreign country if we knew about it could be stopped. An attack from a technologically advanced alien species however wouldn’t be able to be stopped.

I get what you're saying with the "It's like I'm not even here" line. Adults are stubborn about how they address young people. They pick and choose what they "should" know about, and when. Meanwhile, the kid observes and sees way more than the adults think. She sees all these signs around them, and they still choose to keep her in the dark about what they know. That's EXACTLY a critique about modern society. All these issues around us, but everybody is too afraid to address anything, especially around the kids. But they are just as affected as anybody. They also have to live through it and grow up in this exact same world. I remember as a young adult... I actually tweeted Erykah Badu (of all people lol) and asked her if she believes in my generation. She replied something that stuck with me ever since then and said that WE (young people) are their generations eyes and we stand on THEIR shoulders. Basically saying that young people are capable of seeing the things that they don't, because they hold us on their shoulders. Every generation is growing up in a world that they understand more than previous generations. But it's not until we are given the opportunities to see reality. We've lived in this fairytale "Friends" world, where ideals are based on fictional stories about what we THINK life should look like, but a large majority of the time, doesn't pan out that way. We essentially propagandize ourselves into beliefs about reality, and aren't really truthful about what NEEDS to be addressed until it's too late. That's where I interpreted the whole "Leave the World Behind" title. We have to accept that life is forever changing. Some things will stay the same... but there will ALWAYS be new information and outcomes to acquire new information from. Sometimes we can be so stubborn about old ways, that forget that those ways don't fit the same way they did before into society. Young people can question everything in the world and point out every NEW problem that we've created... and previous generations will be too prideful to admit that they have no idea how to fix it. They think that we can just reverse time and try to apply old ideas to new problems. That's just not how reality works.

[@abzasapx]

I understood your comparison and it's accurate. Both movies use a apocalyptic plot line but the point of the movie is a critique of our society.

[@julianmesa6718]

This movie has been discussed a lot in my IT class and how many of the events in this movie are plausible. With the country losing satellites that affect GPS, radio, television, internet, etc., to how vehicles can be self driven without a physical body behind the wheel, a lot the things that have occurred are things that people have done in real life. Personally I'm biased to say that the film is more of a "what would happen if technology cease to be within our control" story. Some people are just quite unaware that we utilized technology much more than we can say we do and how much it dictate us. Every aspect of our life from finance, identity, to social connections are in a computer in the palm of our hands, and if we lose it than we might as well be no one. This film just takes that idea and link it to society and government as a whole, because like I said every aspect of our life exist in technology and if that technology is gone then businesses, economy, our own government goes crumbling down, as well as us.

[@LindseyObrooke]

I have watched this film about three times now. I really love it. Love apocalyptic films, for whatever reason. There is SO much going on in this film. Definitely a huge commentary on racism. I absolutely just adore watching Julia Roberts' character feeling high and mighty and better than M. Ali and the daughter. Questioning if they're really the homeowners. Comparing them to hired help or thieves. As a woman, it is definitely scary to have that situation happen nonetheless, but she is clearly being racist. Instantly, however, smacked down to reality when she's pompously asking him where he lives in NYC, and when she says she's in Park Slope to sound snooty, he talks about how *affordable* it is there. He's so classy. Can handle the criticism and her chaotic personality/fearing him without getting defensive, a clear mark of a high level business person. The dancing -- she is crazy and erratic, looks ridiculous. He is smooth and coordinated. Highly secure. It's a grand gesture to show why he is wealthy: he's highly intelligent. I guess there's not that much going on in the film. It is one big commentary on how the stupidest, most menial shit divides us -- and how that will lead to our destruction someday, which it already has. And perhaps, through the daughter, future generations having to tune out the world just to survive by living in a false reality because we're only drifting further and further from each other. Especially with technology becoming the only thing that connects us. We have to have fake "Friends," because we no longer have real ones. Sigh. Also, the Barack and Michelle Obama production thing freaked me out as well for a hot minute. HOWEVER, I have looked up some other films they produced, and there is a line in the end that makes me feel like their support for the film was very *them*, so it doesn't shock me too much -- cannot remember word for word, but something to the tune of M Ali saying, "It was considered the most economical way to take down a country. If they were dysfunctional enough already, they would do the work themselves." Just a big huge commentary on the political divides in this country over the past few years. Could be a timely, much more overt way of replaying something like the pandemic, etc. Metro areas were ravished. Many fled to rural/suburban areas because it was safer. It is a book that already existed, but the sentiments are the same. Humans destroy each other, and destroy themselves in the midst of that, because we're not surviving well without one another.

[@stevep9041]

The most telling moment was the last scene where the daughter is mesmerised by a TV show. Another generation captured by a distraction.

[@Momofboys1225]

It’s bigger than a distraction though. It’s a comfort. It shows the importance of entertainment in our culture. Movies during the Great Depression helped many families get through a difficult time. The distraction is important.

[@kachuncamia]

@@Momofboys1225 I understand where you're coming from, but this was a clear message of what the daughter found most important in that moment (which is incredibly disappointing). A message is literally flashing in front of her face basically saying that the world is ending, and instead of going to find her family, or doing ANYTHING regarding the apocalypse, watching the end of a television show proves more important to her in that moment. This isn't a time where she should have been distracted- it should have been a wake up call. Yet the end of times still wasn't enough to pull her away from a screen. Very sad, and very true these days.

[@ThisIsNotMyHome]

​@@kachuncamia yes, superficial physical, wordly comforts was her top concern.. not having love and connection with her own family.. simply wasn't a priority with her. Just perfectly content with her selfish disconnect. But so many have become desensitized and disconnected.. lacking in humanity/empathy.. completely oblivious. A day to day life filled with hours of social media, gaming, and watching programming has been a huge contributor to the ever-increasing rise of societal apathy and narcissistic traits... especially amongst the younger generations (and older generations have contributed to that as well). This movie reflects on how a large amount of people are today, while also not being able to see their own reflection- due to our influential distractions, that shouldn't be held in the high regard that we've allowed ourselves to become accustomed to.

[@barnesbuilt1250]

EXACTLY. Society is literally collapsing and people are concerned about things that are not important.

[@AmandaM22587]

I think the show friends represented a longing for connection and compassion, especially if you think of it not as a TV show but the literal word - she wants friends. she explains to her brother that she wants to see the last episode so badly because she cares what happens to the characters. The film itself is full of characters who mention they hate people or don't trust people and the little girl is often ignored by her own family when she points out warning signs or strange things she noticed. she probably doesn't feel much connection to her own family, often being dismissed, and seeks it out elsewhere. Even if she has to get it from a TV show (a device in a film with few characters). in the end, the little girl seeking out friends is the very thing that saves her. she was able to get to the bunker before any other character because her needs were pure. I think the choice of the show Friends was very deliberately a metaphor for human connection and not a literal commentary on young people distracted by TV. Especially when considering the terrorist's main weapon against the US was turning its own people against each other (who already don't like or trust each other) to create a civil war.

So the bug that bit him was a tick because of all the deer in the area it’s safe to assume the tick was on one of the deer at some point. When a tick that has been on a deer finds a human host the host gets Lyme disease. That has a variety of symptoms that can be different for everyone which is why it’s hard to cure.

To me it's obvious that all of them made it to the bunker. It's all in the movie. We don't see the little girl closing the bunker door behind her. So it's open. The wife and the black daughter had found the house where the little girl is in. So they're only minutes away. And Ali's character knows where the bunker is. He said he knows the owner. And he's with the father and the sun, who will be ok too since we can assume that there are most likely medical supply in that bunker, given what other things are there.

I think the client is the "Next door neighbor with the bunker" that everyone is talking about.

Then we see that they have a computer that is chatting with the White House which only an Elite member would have in this circumstance. The father and daughter knew about the bunker which is why they came from their apartment to this house and there is tension because they really don't want to be stuck with the strangers.

[@LmNew864]

I love the scene with the deer and Julia Roberts in the woods, the scenes keep cutting between Ethan Hawke pleading for medicine while Julia Roberts is going absolutely crazy, they both mirror each other so well, you have Ethan Hawkes character frantically pleading for medicine, while Julia Roberts is going absolutely crazy trying to scare away the deer, this to me reflects the craziness of our material world that we won’t even help other people out even when we have enough resources to do so, we have become so wrapped up in our material world that even the the natural instinct to help others is gone,To me Julia Roberts Screaming reflects this ,And the deer always shows up moments when the characters talk about how much they hate people and how we will all fuck each other over, but the moment Kevin Bacons characters shows humanity and gives his medicine away, the deer retreat and the movie calms, showing that some kind of humanity was restored.

I liked your critique. A couple of other aspects, which you didn't mention: firstly the soundtrack, which I loved; it reminded me of the original Twilight Zone series, adding a feeling of hidden menace from the very start, tainting otherwise innocuous scenes with fear and dread. And secondly, the camera work was extraordinary: from 'dutched' angles to the use of drones and at least one staggeringly long crane shot which I thought initially must be a drone - but then the crane stopped moving and the shot continued. And all these cinematic tricks were used to help the story, rather than just for show.

This is definitely true. And with Ruth being obsessed with watching an ultimately pointless TV show - as the world falls apart around her. ‘Tune in and tune out’. People have forgotten the threat that was made to America during the end of the Cold War. That America will fall by an unseen enemy, one that will never have to fire a single round - it will be done over generations, from within. We will grow complacent, soft, dependent and self absorbed. Then we will slowly destroy each other from the inside out - laying the foundations for our enemy to come in and ‘save’ us - without us even knowing who the enemy really is.

This is what made it illegal for the indigenous people to claim their actual identity ( Indian )this is why in the scene in the movie it shows a map of America and there is a QR code scanner where Virginia is While incoming foreigners can seek asylum and be classified as white ( which still happens to this day ) Now the end of movie where it shows America being attacked it was symbolic to show that soon as the white lion came to shore there was a war that started and it’s been going on ever since . Very few people knows the dark side of history but it is right in front of you We living in reality where history was told in reverse . Identity theft …see there’s some truth to everything but what’s funny is there is an ol saying in so called black community…white man took your culture , ideas , history and languages.

(2:10:44) The Roman enpire fell under the rule of Commodus in 192 A.D... Where A = 1 and Z = 26, "Leave the World Behind" = 192. Commodus was assassinated on December 31, 192 A.D.

It’s a red herring. A magnetic field displacement would be the only thing that would cause the animals to act in this way. Humans don’t have the technology to cause this. I think the books editor got it right. It’s an alien attack. That’s why we see Rose in a NASA shirt and the shots of space and the whole Earth from a space view. That’s also why the flyers being dropped by the drones are in foreign languages. If it was foreign countries trying to terrorize the US population, they’d drop flyers in the language that we could read, English. The US dropped flyers over Japan before the atomic bombs In Japanese not English. Who would make this mistake? Aliens who speak only one common language would. George’s country destabilization theory not only works to destabilize a dysfunctional country but would work if used by aliens to destabilize a dysfunctional world. His defense contractor friend knew what was happening before it happened but acted in a way that meant whatever was going to happen couldn’t be stopped by the US. Attacks from a foreign country if we knew about it could be stopped. An attack from a technologically advanced alien species however wouldn’t be able to be stopped.

Yes! Also them referencing prayer in a mere manner of seeking individualistic comfort fits right into the modern man being able to choose from everything but denying Christ. In the scene, where the father tries to win over the survivalist (who mentions prayer as a possible solution to well being - not acting Christ like whatsoever), he states his utter uselessness as a man. The father doesn't care about his son's girl either and lacks proper caution in a situation that would balance out his wife's nervousness (the woman has to step up all the time as a compensation). The father not symbolizing Christ as the hierarch of the family IS the thing bringing the collapse of the society in the first place. And who suffers the most from it? Children.

A day to day life filled with hours of social media, gaming, and watching programming has been a huge contributor to the ever-increasing rise of societal apathy and narcissistic traits... especially amongst the younger generations (and older generations have contributed to that as well).

I don’t know why everyone is leading to the conclusion that she’s alone. They were heading their next and the door was left unopened. Kind of speaks to an underlying trauma we have as viewers? Didn’t even cross my mind that they wouldn’t get there.

Thanks for sharing this! I enjoyed the movie a lot but, most of my friends did not because they didn’t understand the depths of what was going on. I captured most of it and you filled in the holes where I did not e.g. pamphlets dropped from the plane ✈️ and what the woman was saying in Spanish.

[@aztech101la]

This movie was not deep... your friends are right... this movie was trash.

[@Momofboys1225]

You’re right. It is deep. Some will miss it.

[@seangrace7750]

Yea same I loved this movie because I could see the themes in it. My friend did not like it because he wasn’t “entertained” not enough action apparently. I tried to explain to him that if he looked deeper he’d realize the action wasn’t the point of this movie at all. I feel bad to say this but people who did not appreciate this movie unfortunately might be “the problem”. I said it in another post, but I appreciate this movie because it sparks a conversation, as most good art does.

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

I not only LOVED this movie, but I LOVED THE ENDING! This was a great ride.

Who's here after the global outage !😮

[@mikemurray8562]

Didn’t notice when did it happen?

[@dwightfry99]

I think this story was designed to not to be understood. The behavior of the animals implies a natural source. The noise implies something that cannot be natural. The flyers imply that it is an attack but nobody can be sure from who. And the strongest/only theme that connects everything is uncertainty. There is no understanding of what actually happened. The viewers are as uncertain as every character.

[@soliniv1411]

To me it was just a lazy movie with a bunch of random shit, making a good ending to that mess would be impossible thats why they just cut it in the middle 😂

[@dwightfry99]

@@soliniv1411 I kinda hear what you're saying. But I don't think lazy is the right word. There are just too many happenings to call it lazy. David Lynch is the god of random shit, and he's not lazy. I would argue/agree that the style of writing doesn't make it good. In this situation... I still think the purpose of the story was to create an uncomfortable dissonance and deny you any conclusion. The characters understanding and our own are on the same level. As they get more comfortable, we get more comfortable. As they get more confused, we get more confused. It's the complete opposite of literary irony. (Where we know more than the characters)

[@soliniv1411]

@@dwightfry99 i also hear what you are saying and im also not familiar with david lynch. But i imagine any decent writer can come up with a bunch of random shit building a really good suspense story and then ending it in the middle leaving us with blue balls without closure i imagine the hardest part to any good story is the ending.

[@dwightfry99]

​@@soliniv1411 Writing 'random shit' is not as easy as you would think. That is more creative than a linear story that nicely wraps to a conclusion. Good movies probably lands somewhere in the middle. But I am biased in that I like weird movies. My favorite movies leave me thinking "what the hell did I just watch?" This movie wasn't as memorable as David Lynch films, A24 productions, Donnie Darko and a handful of other movies that left thinking 'WTF did I just watch'. It wasn't as memorable but I personally didn't hate it. But if you remember it 10years from now... It did it's job.

[@m3vm3]

The truth is no one is in control. Which is what was said in the movie. This entire era has been written in the starts, and spoken of long before any conspiracies. I like that idea. It’s not a governmental entity or cabal doing anything. It’s the cosmos. Literally and esoterically. It was likely a solar flare. Not an attack. Though people are trying to cause panic because of this uncertain moment.

[@Momofboys1225]

YES! Thank you. I just made a similar comment and that seems to be overlooked by everyone. The truth is far scarier than a conspiracy. There is nobody in control. We are all just doing our part. Playing our role.

[@thelemonwho]

I'm convinced the noise was always present, but not always audible. Like it was making them and the deer hallucinate and misperceive everything, on top of the chaotic terrorist attacks. The crazy distinct colors a the paintings changing might indicate the viewers are being affected as well...

[@primeexample]

you might be right. because rose heard the noise in the car first and then eventually everyone else hears it as well.

[@joshholmes6573]

is called low-frequency sound, while for sound below 20 Hz the term infrasound is used. The hearing becomes gradually less sensitive for decreasing frequency, but despite the general understanding that infrasound is inaudible, humans can perceive infrasound, if the level is sufficiently high

[@vyr-mk1dz]

"Maximum overdrive" is about a similar event, machines operating by itself

[@stfu_mango_baboon]

It sounds like a natural disaster that causes people to turn on each other. The deer and odd migration patterns, look like a magnetic flip disaster since it is assumed that the migration of birds has something to do with the earth's magnetic field. Or some odd sun flare. Both would affect communications, satellites, gps, computer systems, migration patterns, i think everything else comes from there, the warfare, the disinformation, the issues all around. Any global catastrophe would lead many to make bad decisions, and bad actors on a global scale would assume their enemies were at fault.

[@terrancereese3132]

This is exactly my first thought!! You put it into words and I feel the United States is carrying out a false flag by dropping pamphlets and such in order to blame other countries.

[@mico4859]

Ok so the sun sent a drone to drop a bunch of pamphlets written in Arabic and Korean “death to America” got it.

[@Legority]

probably. i still have found zero explanation for the noises though

[@corinnebutterworthle9004]

The noise is an attack it’s real technology that has been used already

[@corinnebutterworthle9004]

Did you watch the movie? It was clearly not a natural disaster. Bombs were being dropped.

[@lubaniskie]

11:38 this sounds like a description of America. "A simple amusement park" with a haunted past could be a reference to American excess and its history of ill-gotten gains, colonialism and injustice. I think it ties in with the theme of the film; society, American society and modern western civilization as a whole, collapse and facing the haunting consequences of its history of political, socio-political manipulation and hegemonic dominance on the world. It's very much a critique of humanity as it is of western civilisation.

[@MaximinoReyes]

The director is the same as Mr Robot and used to leave codes with hidden messages in various scenes of the series. In the case of this film, it seems like the ideal place to hide the location of a Mega-Bunker and protect it from prying eyes with the urban myth that it is haunted
