"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.

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

[@LordLOC]

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).

[@millennium0101]

Personally I like these types of endings because they give an open ended discussion like I had with my family. Plus it’s a testament to the confidence the writers/director had in that they could do what they wanted.

[@SaraCatsis]

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.

@@lisalee2885 Definitely aware of Rodman Serling. I agree, the man’s a genius. With that being said, in my opinion, would have LOVED to see a more traditional ending to this movie, or a cliffhanger leading to a sequel (due to how much I was invested in this interesting world war 3 origin story). But I do love my psychological thrillers, and that kind of genre deserves a little bit more heedfulness and an open mind. Now.. with THAT being said: I feel like the pacing, and the ending to this movie, were completely necessary. The length of the movie is understandably subjective, but overall, the movie was a satisfying experience. 😌 For me at least. 😏

[@Sir_Pentious_Redeemed666]

Same. I thought about it and made me relize more.

[@liluziintrovert]

I honestly love this movie and the b plot story of basically “physical media is better” because I think it’s the one thing a lot of doomsday preppers don’t think about. Like yeah you have enough food to last for 30 years but you’d go insane by then from boredom. 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).

[@bigsistahtips]

It's filled with meta jokes like that. Like how watching Friends while "the world is ending" when we're now watching this movie when the world's biggest powers are destroying the planet and wars of all kinds are happening.

[@Metaljacket420]

I think it's definitely an implication that they're going to live in the bunker and have friends style antics while surviving for years off the supplies stashes inside.

[@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.

[@the_nikster1]

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! 😃❤

[@l.vlogs26]

Yes I really sympathized with his character!!! It’s a tough situation. Like I know for a fact I would be bawling my eyes out because given the situation I also wouldn’t let the lady in even though i want to. Now n days we hear human trafficking happening because people pretend to be stranded. I was told to never stop for anyone. Simply call the police if they need help

[@liluziintrovert]

I love how Kevin Bacon’s character looks absolutely racist but he’s like oddly the most accepting. Like he says “all we can do now is pray, or whatever you believe in” and then says the “it’s the Koreans, or chinese…one of ‘em” only to then follow it up by a legitimate reason as to why he claimed it was Korea or China, and that the confusion was on his friend’s lack of knowledge, not his own

[@John_Locke_108]

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

Thank you for the shoutout! Hope you guys have a happy holiday! That sounds like a great vaccination, I don’t know what the hell that word John said was haha much love guys!

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. So I am wondering how the White Lion and 1619 on the radio dial are connected?

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.

[@youngpower24]

I believe the two planes crashing into the exact same location are a reflection of the 9/11 attacks in which planes were also diverted off course by forces the pilots could not control. It is notable all planes involved in the 9/11 attacks were jets made by Boeing, a US defense contractor. The planes which crashed into the beach in the movie also appear to be Boeings.

The deers like thanks for no help lol

All the predictions got tiring the first 10min haha but still love you guys

[@jeffwylde1600]

Jullia Roberts character is so well written and performed. She comes across as racist but if you go back and take race out of it she's just a scared (the oil tanker), paranoid mother who is incredibly pessimistic about people and protective of her children. She's the more responsible and protective parent while Ethan Hawke's character is pretty useless to his family in a situation such as this. This movie can reveal some people's racial biases but not in the way you may think.

[@merrytunes8697]

Eh, she's still racist until she's in a situation where her bias is questioned. Kind of like the whole her having to apologize for her behavior...she acknowledges her...RACISM. This is driven home by Ali's comment about learning from your mistakes...

[@jeffwylde1600]

@@merrytunes8697 It's clear she acknowledges her rudeness for sure. The racism is kept inexplicit by the writing though which I thought was clever.

[@KF3000-w7x]

@@merrytunes8697Never outright said she was racist. Kind of subtle with it

[@gab2v7]

​​@@merrytunes8697Let's be honest, the father and specially the daughter were also not making the situation any better by acting the way they did.

[@miguelamador4017]

Bro, Americans and everyone everything is racist. Idk y’all but if someone stepped on the front door of my rented house in the middle of the night, saying this is our house, I would be preoupated too…

[@melissagerman1592]

I love watching the movies with y'all. You're not critiquing every little thing you just say your thoughts like everyone else would. 😂

[@DS9Sisko]

It’s increasingly difficult to distinguish if you’re genuinely reacting or just vomiting mini-monologues to fill time.

[@bigsistahtips]

I think that's what all movie reactors do. If I'm watching a movie I'm not talking throughout the whole film.

[@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

[@barowt]

Best movie of 2023, in multiple categories, actors and actresses need some awards.. directing, camera, freaking sound, editing, everyone else who worked on it, great job!

[@Shyknit]

69 and 96 are usually talking about perspective, they look the same depending on which way you're looking at them

[@TraXlem]

this film is in the same world as Mr Robot so some references like the power plant melt down in NJ is something that happened in the show

[@DeannaWhittington-om8vv]

The fact you mentioned Uzimaki just blew my mind because I don't know ANYONE who has seen that but me!!!!

A friend pushed me to this film, so I'm glad I saw this!!!!

[@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

[@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*

[@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.

[@RandyReviews1990]

Julia Roberts still looks good for almost 60!

[@hazri8758]

I'm just a big fan of this kind of film. I actually thought it was going to be another zombie apocalypse movie. I'm just glad it wasn't. That's why I'm also excited to see Civil War (A24 film).

[@And-Or101]

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.

[@hotlittlezombiekiller2729]

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

[@rogersjgregory]

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

[@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

[@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.

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

[@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

[@xl081]

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

[@cedrickpelletier5861]

Some of the best camera work of the year honestly
