The deer is symbolism for wisdom. The daughter keep saying that the deer is trying show her something, which lead her to the bunker. 1:12:01

I got it more as the deer are a warning that something is wrong or something wrong is coming. Deer are peaceful creatures after all and they keep showing the deer (and some other animals) symbolizing something is wrong in nature (for us it's everything else going on).

According to Wikipedia, The White Lion (same name as the oil tanker that ran ashore) was an English privateer operating under a Dutch letter of marque which brought the first Africans to the English colony of Virginia in 1619 (there's the 1619 connection, the radio station Clay was listening to), a year before the arrival of the Mayflower in New England.

Also the fact that a message of the movie is pro physical media and then selling that movie to Netflix is hilarious

[@kandake2795]

Well, Netflix did start out by selling rentals of physical media (DVDs).

But I do love my psychological thrillers, and that kind of genre deserves a little bit more heedfulness and an open mind.

I love what John said about Ethan Hawke's character and his dilemma with the Spanish-speaking woman on the road. I was thinking the same thing while watching that scene: we would all love to think that we would have done the "right thing" in that situation and brought her along, however, we will never know what we'd do until we're in that situation. that was one of the scariest things to me because it hints at the loss of our humanity being one of the first things we stand to lose when chaos reigns. thanks for the reaction guys! 😃❤

[@hermionesings]

I think the ending was crazy cool. The whole time the daughter is expressing how she feels and no listens at all or unless it's damn near too late. The deer were trying to lead them to the bunker. The bonus is that she was able to be somewhat rewarded for it by seeing friends. All the other stuff going on around them seemed like a darn distraction. Like what the dad/house owner said in the car at the end. Instead of focusing on getting to safety, everyone is trying to figure out what happened or what's happening. Also, the daughter talking about the guy who was waiting for God to save him was a great way of her foreshadowing what she was going to do. It was also the first time in the movie she wasn't direct about what she was feeling. Probably because she was done being ignored and misunderstood. She was ready to take action. The ending was hilariously delicious, and I just assume that the rest of the family got to the bunker too, but it was delayed because they were focused on the "wrong" thing.

[@amarissarah5250]

(the older daughters tattoo 96) the meaning of the number is a sign from the universe to let go of material attachments and prepare for a new beginning and to follow your gut feeling and it will lead you to the right path. I find that very on point with the themes in the movie like the whole time the older daughter knew something was wrong and the younger daughter was the only one following her gut and it lead her to the bunker.

[@LordLOC]

Well to be fair, if the movie continued somewhat longer, I feel like all the rest of the cast would have made it to the bunker as well. Since they were all aware of it and where to go (mostly).

[@TheSeventhOutlaw]

"Why are some of these bodies naked?" Your average cotton shirt or blouse or dress and pants are not designed to hold up to wind blasts at velocities of 400 or 500mph. When passengers are found unclothed it always indicates that the passenger cabin broke apart in a mid-air break-up. Clothes in these circumstances are shredded away by the slipstream. It could also be due to fire or the clothing simply catching on debris during impact and being ripped away as the body is thrown.

1619? Have you read the piece by Hannnah Nikole-Jones on the 1619 Project? The White Lion has a history in North America. The San Juan Bautista, the White Lion and Treasurer were in the busines of transporting human cargo from the African continent or hijacking ships that did. The San Juan Bautista was close to Mexico when the Treasurer and White Lion hijacked it and stole the "cargo." Some of that "cargo" ended up at Jamestown in 1619 on the White Lion.

Watch Mr Robot. One of the best shows ever made, and it takes place in the same universe as this movie, and it is referenced in this movie as well.

[@AmanCreatesArt]

I thought this was great! Big fan of Sam Esmail, though Rod Serling got the same results in 30 minutes with episode 22 of The Twilight Zone, “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.”

[@lisalee2885]

Yup! Rod was a Genius. Check out Nothing to fear in the dark with Robert Redford episode

[@ramundopepitos]

Julia Roberts is Monica, Myha'la Herrold is Rachel, Farrah Mackenzie is Phoebe, Ethan Hawke is Chandler, Mahershala Ali is Ross and Charlie Evans is Joey.

[@alfieforsyth560]

Off topic, but would you guys ever consider re-starting your Brooklyn nine-nine reactions? I really enjoyed them a lot and heard this morning Andre braugher who played captain holt passed away RIP man

[@ActiveFire533]

i think they finished the series already

[@burnttoastburt1467]

The ending was a warning. Even as the world falls apart around us we choose to stick our head in the sand and pretend like its not happening.

[@joddo1991]

Stupid, this was from a book. About separation of the modern family.

[@burnttoastburt1467]

@joddo1991 from what Ive heard the ending is different in the book, the ending here clearly shows one of the main characters indulding in escapism as everything is in chaos and a nearby city is being bombed. Idk about the book but the movie is obviously a commentary on society at large.

[@joddo1991]

@@burnttoastburt1467 yes, partially true. The main part is socially norms of distraction with media, which separates family

[@KC-ly1fb]

I 100% understand the ending because I’ve done my homework! You guys left out the most important part of the movie in the beginning when they give the hint as to when this stuff is really going down!

[@chickenporkadob0]

this movie showed that the preppers that are frowned upon are the survivors.

[@bigsistahtips]

Yes, but also shows you how dangerous that mindset is. Because in reality, if that happens, community, not selfishness, is what would put the country back on its feet. The military started it, but what comes next, is the people.

[@TisBoiGoTSkiLLz]

Thought it was a good film and I enjoyed the cast. I just wish the ending didn't end how it did.

[@bejaylagrone4084]

The young girl reminded me soooo much of my 11 year old daughter, her character is definitely believable.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

The real lesson was the Friends we made along the way.

[@Supercilious-ok8ic]

Thats a decent lesson

[@adrianbyg5553]

The F•R•I•E•N•D•S is what matters at the end.

[@DShipp85]

I wanted to know what was up with the deers. The leader looked like he was gonna try to do something but Julia interrupted. Or was the buck gonna show some positivity and Julia still interrupted?

[@elreydelmundo1343]

I was so confused with what was going on that everytime the deer stared at someone I expected them to talk. I legitimately said out loud "Hello human, do you have any berries?" in Optimus Prime's voice.

[@DShipp85]

@elreydelmundo1343 I was waiting for something to happen and it never happened. The leader walked thru and I thought he was gonna do something and they never did.

[@bigsistahtips]

it's just saying, something's wrong girls, you better get out of here.

[@lpr5269]

That reminds of the joke - Does a deer have any dough? Yeah 2 bucks.

[@Eva-Mari]

What a Norwegian got from this: DSA Divided States of America

[@minilabyrinth]

some of the camera sequences are INSANE in this, especially the one where the wife explores the upstairs for the first time and the camera goes from inside to outside as it continues following her

[@MusicforInnerSoul]

It's the "Occupation" for me @ 40:11. I feel this is a proganda film that conveniently comes out as the real world turns to WWIII.

[@elreydelmundo1343]

The pros • the camera work and interesting shots all throughout the movie • the cgi was great. The cars, the planes & the boats crashing, the animals, the shots all looked amazing • every performance was great, which wasnt saying much considering almost every character was a major actor, but even the supporting cast did amazing. That hispanic woman deserves an award imo. • They build up suspense tremendously well. The cons • The dialogue often times lacks cohesion. I found a lot of the interactions were either awkward or had a weird flow. • Sometimes pacing issues. There were periods of time where it seemed like things are taking too long. Also, when the sons teeth are falling out and they rush out the house and cut to the women in the shed having a conversation, i was annoyed. • Characters sometimes make weird decisions that frustrate me, and arent responsive enough or freaking out enough for what they just witnessed. The girl didnt freak out over the deer, the wife and Mahershala Ali going to drink and dance after what they experienced. Overall it was a cool movie and im glad i watched it though.

[@tbrrrdmn]

Glad y'all reacted to this. But have any of y'all seen Right at Your Door? Extra underrated n overlooked.

[@perryton]

Phoebe was right about the Left Phalange 😅 and Rachel left the plane…. 😂

[@AkodoNoEyes]

I LOVED this movie. I remember seeing the Trailer and purposefully avoided any spoilers. It was so good and and I love end of world stuff. Great casting. Great ending. *claps in Friend’s time*

[@moconor79]

19:26 she talking about what happened at the end of Mr. Robot.

[@aliengranpa]

You guys really need to just sit back and enjoy a movie!

[@RandyReviews1990]

Julia Roberts still looks good for almost 60!

[@chrisbuck96]

The deers like thanks for no help lol

[@xl081]

This movie seems like another taken on the movie "Knock at the Cabin" which which was just released this year 😅

[@39Bosski]

1st off, love you guys so much. I'm home sick with Covid and have been watching WAY too much tv and movies. Loved this reaction so much. Watching you try and figure everything out had me in tears. I must say though... I always love when John does his thing, when he goes into his explanation. I didn't like the ending when I first watched it; I kind of wanted them to tie it up with a bow for me, but now I think I like the ending more. Thanks for making my day a lot better.

[@JasonRyanWilson410]

It's like "Maximum Overdrive" on steroids.

[@John_Locke_108]

Lol. Never thought of that. And think I prefer Maximum Overdrive. This movie needed some AC/DC.

[@hazri8758]

I don't mind the ending. But I just want to hear from those who's not really a fan of the ending. Respectfully, what were you expecting the movie to end, if I may ask?

[@lisalee2885]

I thought it was ok..other movies like this out there BUT Netflix just amped it up. The book is supposedly more rational. Like Kevin bacon role was amped. It would have been nice to see a decent ending. I'm sure they want sequels out of this

[@ShanShan-tp6nt]

The ending felt weird. Like something got cut and then stitched up to the credits. Its also the timing of the music, it felt unresolve. It was like I clicked and skipped a minute of the movie and went to credits only for it to actually be no ending. I've seen open-ended endings that are done well, this was just not it. It felt like it was trying too hard to be different. As much as the unconventional is praised, you also can't really blame people if they don't like it. The movie was too interesting to end up like this. This actually reminds me of Jujutsu Kaisen, how Kenjaku was such an interesting character with so much potential, then ends up getting one-shotted. Like, WTF? soo much build-up and potential only to throw it away like that.

[@1dirkmanchest]

My neighbor's lawn guy has a niece who said Obama wrote the ending of this.

[@rogersjgregory]

I think the ending indicates that they will all be friends now, and will be there for each other during this strange time.

[@user-dz2cs1nl2j]

Yeah all that stuff with the Tesla's just happened

[@bigsistahtips]

Did anyone think the signs in this movie are subliminal or hidden? I think the whole message is quite obvious and pretty straightforward. A satirical view of American society (which isn't any different from most societies), the way people react in fear; how we act surprised as we haven't ever in our life seen something like this coming; how we want to distract from reality to fix ourselves somehow; how easy it is to create chaos and how willing we are to give out all control to technology so we don't have to do anything ourselves. I don't think there was any hidden message at all. The director created confusion so people would come up with their own conspiracy theories to mirror the audience and show us we're no different from these characters.

[@hotlittlezombiekiller2729]

How has Kevin bacons character even remotely acted racist? Tell me.

[@kelseyquantum]

“Is it one of those ‘wtf?’ movies?” Me: “yes.”

[@maddoxmacy9427]

This movie was a trip I actually enjoyed it

[@felix3033]

Ya had a weird eerie feeling to it

[@mylife-23]

" Number 96 is a reminder to listen to your intuition and inner wisdom. " Or the book 1996: " This fictionalized memoir of the award-winning author, Gloria Naylor, tells a story of a massive covert surveillance operation perpetrated against her by an official of the U.S. government. " Or it could be, " 1896 Aurelio Alvero The poem gave highlight to the event that has given birth to thenow independence of our country, the 1896 revolution "

[@s2moneyy]

I’m not against the ending but you have to make it feel like an ending. This felt like I hit pause on episode 3 20 mins in a 10 episode series.

[@lisalee2885]

Totally agree. Sure they will kick out sequels and I won't watch

[@larindanomikos]

Significance of the number 96 ; Let go of material attachments and prepare for a new beginning.
