Easy, of showing his true colors. Cuz face it, anyone can show their nice friendly loving side, until their true colors comes out. Like for instance, why would Obama want to make it sound like "white people are bad, not alone "racist" yet white people voted for him as president? Right because he acted politely, until he win his both trems as president. Hill there was a movie I watched earlier this summer, don't remember the name of it, which sucks, but I remember it was filmed back in 2015, and seeing clips of it. Parts shown when Obama was president saying something like "you don't need your freedoms" to the American people. But shown other clips of the movie were where Australia? Or some other sort of organization country was making a statement in the movie of "create the pandemic to change America's society". Which after watching that movie, than it kicked in why they wanted to create a plandemic back in 2020.
@@stefyroxanne7567It certainly feels like the elite are having a private joke amongst themselves by letting little tidbits of "possible" future events surface in films like this.
I watched this movie without knowing anything and it was so frustrating. The race narrative added nothing. Also if someone randomly showed up claiming to own the rental I was staying in, I would question it no matter the race of the person. That wasn’t a crazy thing for her to do.
As a mother, that’s how I felt too! I’m like “am I racist? Tf?” Lol I’m weary of a white delivery driver. Idgaf who you are… just, who are you and why?
Both things were true at the same time, she was clearly influenced by racist assumptions AND it was perfectly reasonable for her to be suspicious... Not mutually exclusive...
@@Elemental0069 Not mutually exclusive, no. But I wouldn’t say “clearly”. We didn’t have the context until the rest of the movie played out obviously, hindsight. But I, personally, wasn’t getting “racism” from that initial scene where she answers the door for GH.
I watched the scene where Julia Roberts' character expresses doubt about black people, and I thought it portrayed a somewhat typical reaction. Personally, I believe it's a natural response not to trust someone who unexpectedly shows up at midnight where my family and I are sleeping. In such a situation, I might assume they could be a potential threat or, at the very least, find it unsettling. Being from Latin America, I want to emphasize that I don't judge based on color. However, if I encounter someone at my door without identification at night, I would certainly hesitate before opening it
Exactly. I didn’t see any sort of prejudice against the black owners of the house like I did the Black teenagers prejudice against the white people renting it. I feel like Amala was so far off. In this movie would’ve gotten glowing reviews from her if it didn’t come from Obama. I almost believe she didn’t even watch it, or was looking for an issue with it. doing exactly what she says Black people do all the time when it comes to race. this reaction was honestly very illuminating. I don’t believe this channel is unbiased anymore.
@@patsyarnold8469 That lady who was attacked at a gym at night after opening the door for a random guy (?) might not feel that suspicion. Some people don't have a lot of self preservation.
This is exactly right. Later on she is bonding strongly with G.H., that's not the behavior of a racist. She also reveals that she just hates people in general. So her actions being seen as racist by the viewer and the black daughter say more about them than it does about her.
As a South Africa, having lived through Apartheid and now rampant brutal crime, its normal to be highly suspicious of any person, regardless of race. Amanda ( Julia Roberts ) does not appear to be racist. She 's just a normal, concerned, responsible mother & wife, protecting her family. Nothing racist here !
But they are Americans. Everything has to be about race. Do 'Britishers' call back people African Americans? (f'in dumb Americans) Do 'Britishers' (dumb American) call black people Britisher American? (Believe it or not they're the smart ones) What do 'Britishers' call black people????? ........... Well, if their name is Steve we usually call them Steve. If they're called Dave we usually say "Oy Dave mate, can I call you Dave or do you prefer David?" It wasn't that hard now children (Americans) was it? I'm safe because about 99% of Americans stopped reading after the first sentence.
It is normal not to blindly trust strangers, in fact it could save your lífe. With that said, the movie did portray her to also be racíst because she didn’t believe a błack person could own such a home. The film had a lot of racíal messaging. There were a lot of hidden messages in the film. The Whíte Lion ship is a reference to the Whíte Lion ship that brought the first Afrícans to North Ameríca in 1619. The name of the market is Point Confort and that’s also the name of the fictional area in the film. Point Confort Virginia is the real place the real Whíte Lion landed. The food supplies, have a lot of food that had criticism for having “racíst” images and names. Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s, Funny Face drink mix… 1619 was shown on the radio. Red and blue colors were prominent throughout the film. The crack in the blue wall was likely intentional and had some sort of hidden meaning. The wall art kept changing when things kept escalating. The Hispaníc women’s warning about what was going on were ignored because of the language barrier but he also didn’t help her when she was clearly in need. As noted his wife was made to be openly racíst too. Friends was the escape from reality and the fantasy perfect relationships. Also, isn’t it odd that all theses films are coming out with common themes? The Civil War movie coming out depicting a similar divide and conflict. The American Society of Magical N…. These are all on top of movies like Dear Whíte People and Whíte Tears… All these films have division and the whíte guys are bad trope going.
This is the comment that should be pinned. Also keep in mind that the Obama's produced it. Then Hollywood is following up with a film called 'The American Society of Magical Negroes'. If it quacks like a duck...@@GhostSal
Honestly if you stay in a vacation home and someone knocks the door in the middle of the night, white, black or any race, you would still react the same way. A housekeeper who wants to commit a crime on an unsuspecting guest is the most reasonable explanation. The black girl is also distrustful because the world is supposedly breaking down. The end is where they all converge. The race part was insignificant because you could have replaced all the characters with any different race or made them all white and it wouldn’t have mattered to the story at all.
You hit the nail on the head 😅 you could've replace race with religion too. It would've been the same stuff. I guess they used race because it was base in America. And we're all roaring about that stuff nowadays. The husbands was way more trusting then the women 😂 I would've stand with the girls on this. Let's not just trust band new people when everything is falling apart
Exactly - that’s the point they demonstrated. They didn’t NEED to assume the whites were suspicious due to race but the cynical young girl did. And the whites may have had a racial assumption but we need to forget all that and be rational lol you’re mad at the movie for making the point that you’re making lol
@@Spanky1 I know right 😂 they didn't ask for any proof at all. It's like the start of a horror movie. Oh come on in.. don't worry, it's going to be ok. That sounds (window breaks or death screams) was just the wind.
I could be wrong but there also might've been a little bit of character development. [spoiler] The black girl does say "Don't trust white people" but at the end she reaches for Julia Roberts hand as she watches what is happening to the city. Roles reversed, if Julia said 'don't trust back people' and then reaches for the black girl's hand might be her character going through some internal change.
The only racist character I saw in this film was Ruth. Amanda's reaction to two people showing up to a rented out house late at night claiming to be the owners who ALSO want to stay there was perfectly reasonable. It's a weird ask, Amanda rented the place to get AWAY from people, and Ruth acted like a little witch from the first moment. I wouldn't have been nice to her, either. Ruth made up narratives in her head and ran with them. She accused the husband of wanting to bang her with zero evidence. Then, she made the comment about not trusting white people out of nowhere. She had no reason not to trust Amanda and her family at that point, but she still jumped to conclusions simply because they were white. That is incredibly racist and, sadly, realistic for 2023.
This was my thoughts exactly! When Ruth said "I'm pretty sure the dad wants to F me" I was like what? He's literally given no indicator that he wants to do that. I just thought "she needs to get over herself" And yeah the only racism I saw was from the black daughter. Not the white family. I never saw the white family going "We can't trust them. They're black!"
Ummm...@anakaliaeastwood; while I understand your premise that it's a weird ask. Please understand that this was in fact THEIR home and the owners were relegated to sleep in the basement of their own residence. Even after it was understood that they owned the property. I believe you would be a bit peeved as well if a "renter" continuously said, "they want to stay in OUR house" when in fact it wasn't their house. They were only renting it. The visiting family took ownership of a property that wasn't theirs and banished the property owners to what some are saying resembled the 'lower deck of a ship'. If you only look at the surface of this movie (like a TikTok video); you're going to miss a lot of it's meaning.
@@legacyhome1780If somebody is renting your property, you have zero rights to enter. You can even get arrested. The family did a favor to allow them sleeping there. The owner couldn't even prove who he was. The family paid for it so it belongs to them during the rental period.
The interesting part is that the characters were focused on race while something much bigger was coming and viewers of the movie are focused on the racial aspects of the film while the movie itself could be telling us that something much bigger is coming.
My thoughts exactly. That is why I went into detail with my comment about the need to become better prepared and gave a web site that has a list of suggested books. I know most of the commenters here won't be interested, but if even one person gets better prepared and it saves their life, that is worth something. I know most of these viewers are just stuck on the race issues and symbolism, but in a real grid-down crisis, the last thing on your mind will be the divisiveness of the country and race relations. You (and everyone else) will be focused on finding or stealing any food and supplies you can. It won't matter what color the person standing in front of you is. If they have food and your kids are starving, you are going to go through them. Sorry, kiddos, that's the way it will be.
Because that is main message Netflix wants to focus and wants the new generation also to focus on stupidity. I watched half of the movie and I stopped. I canceled Netflix long ago and I wonder why there is still people paying to watch Netflix and support this garbage.
Honestly it's perfectly normal to question a random pair of people you never seen or meet and just accept everything they say as true. Then you let them come into the home your in and sleep in a house with your kids over night. Everyone wants to call racisms but I don't care who was at the door I would of treated them the same.
EXACTLY! If anyone came to the door when i was staying somewhere i would be very caught off guard. Doesn’t matter about race. And her saying it could be a house keeper or anyone , well obviously you don’t know these strangers!! They didn’t show ID. I didn’t get the vibe it was about them being black at allll.
The guy did have info that he couldn't have had if he wasn't the owner, plus if the story hadn't needed the drama (i.e in a real world scenario) he could have shown them the email exchange between himself and Julia Roberts on his phone.
That's exactly what I said while watching that scene for the first time. It was a trap for the audience to assume white woman's character was racist. Especially because the owners daughter was pushing that belief. Later on we find out that Julia's character just hate people in general.
I watched it and honestly had no idea the Obamas were behind it. The whole racism theme and “white people are bad” theme was very strange and it made no sense the way it was injected at the beginning. Though it did seem that it showed both black and white racism and the unity at the end with Julia’s character and the black teenager character working together and hugging did sort of make it better. I understood what they were going for, and the over all plot of our own government fucking us (they do every day anyway) was really interesting. I just wish the whole “we must unite” theme was said in a less “white people bad” way…
It's sad that you and Amala took one line out of the movie and ran with it pathetic...I'm sure you'll could think of many movies to be called racist.start with Django,roots, Harriet,12years a slave,amistad,all in the family,we could go in for decades.but she won't talk about that.lady bye
@@almicheesamuel324 Yeah it's not like we hear equality this and equality that, all the while constantly seeing tons of shows with anti White themes. Look at that new Black magical movie coming out.
I think it actually makes sense, because one of the aspects of Step 1 is to destabilize. That includes stoking racial divisions. That movie was the reductio ad absurdum for what russia, china and others have been doing for like 2 decades, amd what america has done to other nation states in the past. You maybe hear the words yet miss the meaning? Idk. I had no idea Obamas was involved with this film, yet it is distinctly Sam Esmail mode and themed.
@@almicheesamuel324 Obama is as white as they come. You can find the pictures of him hanging out at the country club with the Bushs as a child. Why do you think they are so cozy. These people are so full of it.
In the scene where they suggest that the person in the movie was skeptical because the individuals knocking were black, my perspective is that I would have reacted regardless of their race. The entire family was inside the house, and it was in the middle of the night, which wasn't specified in the contract. Additionally, since there are no family pictures in the house, the renters wouldn't know who resides there. Therefore, when someone unexpectedly knocks, skepticism is a natural reaction regardless of their ethnicity.
Someone knocks on my door in the middle of the night, my mind is automatically flipping to horror scenarios cause no one should be knocking on your door at the middle of the night. I wouldn't even dare look outside.
I watched this movie and got more of a message that we don’t trust each other and that’s how a foreign government will benefit. We’re doing the work for them.
It was okay. That "can I see some ID" would've fit right in right from the get go. As soon as they presented themselves at the door as the owner's, I would've asked for some ID. That's the logical thing to do. Having race thrown in all the time distract from the narrative of the film. All in all, totally agree with Amala's ranking, 6 out of 10.
If I remember correctly, they did ask to see ID and they were told that he left his ID in his coat which he left at whatever event they were coming from
If I knew this was done by Obamas, I wouldn’t watch it, but I did. I wonder if this is one of those movies where they tell us what they are planing to do next.
@@darkreverie7027 because they are evil and they can, arrogance maybe? That is why we have The Simpsons “predictions”, and in many movies they leave clues. To a normal person it doesn’t make sense, but to a psychopaths it does.
@ violetab3750 sir because they’re evil, or don’t have the same political views as you. It looks like you can’t take differing option so you just resort to them for being evil. Also wouldn’t it make a little since not to tell us know-it-all. Also the movie is about setting aside racial remarks and coming together, but knowing conservatives and right learners they only see,”WHITE PEOPLE ARW BAD PEOPLE.” and think everything about the movie is racist when in reality it’s not 😒
But we didn’t have tech and then NOT have tech. Life now is based on having tech. I do not have a landline. If my cell phone is down, I can’t call anyone. All my accounts are set up online, nothing sent in regular mail, no Internet I can’t see my bank balance unless I go to the bank.

You don't have your data anymore in written from. If you got sick nobody will know what blood type you are because they can't use the computer, if you need the blood right away they have to test it what means they can't give you blood immediately, this is one example I'm sure there is many more. The cellphone came in the 90's, in the late 2000's I couldn't made a car insurance in a 250K city because I had no internet and my english was too bad I didn't understood the Indian guy on the other side of the phone. There was one small place where I could made an insurance in person and that was 15 years ago. Today we have nuclear power plants controlled through the net for some sick reason. We are in trouble, it is not about the individual, it is about our society what has to go down before the New World Order emerge.
if I rented a house solely via email, having never seen a photo of the owner at all, and a random man showed up to the rental in the middle of the night unable to provide ID to prove he is who he says, I would also have my reservations about whether or not he is the owner, regardless of race…
My husband and I watched this movie and pointed out every woke moment in it and it is filled with them let me tell you. At the end we just looked at each other shook our head at the ending and said what a waste of time really. WE HAD NO IDEA IT WAS OBAMA'S MOVIE. Next time - I'll pay attention to the producer what have you. I feel like it needs to be said however that if this truly happened with the elites and the oligarchs and those who run social media for us let's say...they get away...but it's they who are constantly pushing a race division... in reality if there were no TV and phones and social media and all those things they couldn't push that narrative and we would go back to around the time of the 90s where we didn't have this divisiveness that we see today. JS. I don't think people would actually turn on each other like they think
Do you know what an executive producer does? You sound absolutely miserable, tallying what you deem to be "woke", just looking for reasons to be miserable, and here you are.
Omg with the virtue signaling comments bs please. She’s just saying how most people wouldn’t be as divided during a disaster as the elites think. In most cases when disasters happen. Hurricane, fires, storms, 911 it showed how people come together as a whole. I agree. People def not as divided as they think or as they want them to be.
The views expressed by a character in a story do not automatically reflect the message of the story or the views of the author. It just tells you that character’s viewpoint (or pretended viewpoint) at a particular point in the story. It’s great to see Amala knows this and so watched the whole movie.
@@leeniesevy-perahia7911 What an ignorant and foolish response. All writers have an agenda. To understand the writers message one needs to examine the work as a whole and the development of characters within the story. A character can start out one way but change in response to the events that unfold. This is so basic. It seems you just want to assume the worst because you already have a negative opinion of Obama. This is what keeps society polarised, always putting the worst complexion on anything anyone on the other side does.
@@brucetownsend691 Please this movie has no morality to it and yes I do know Obama. Read his autobiography, listened to his lies and omg! the Obamas are so oppressed. Michael has said it over and over. If you liked it you have no moral or ethical code. Then again most people are owned by woke liberalism which has no God or logic. There’s no character development of any depth. It is a shallow movie and has no value at all. How old are you? Two? How about your education? None? Your ability to analyze? None. Obama is a mentally disturbed person. Do your research. Oh wait. You can’t because everything is censored now. I did my research over a decade ago. You obviously know no facts at all. I do. And the danger is you think you do. 🤦♀️
You are correct, if in a story a character is racist, woke, or stereotype blindly driven, the character's lines have to reflect that or the character would not represent what they are supposed to reflect, making it a totally incoherent story, for example, if a movie is about Nazis, it would be foolish to expect those characters to not behave as so or not have lines aligned with that, movies must be coherent with the topic and characters personalities to make sense
It’s took your plot summary to make me remember that I read the book and I remember how much I disliked the book because it was so boring. I honestly felt like it was too wordy at times to where I wasn’t getting a sense of enjoyment I was reading plotting through words that could have been eliminated to make everything much more streamlined. I still can’t believe this was made into a movie. Your plot summary here was more exciting than the book itself.
Okay first of all the story isn’t just about nor trusting the white folk, it’s about getting over racial views and actually helping one another in an apocalyptic world
What I found interesting was this movie was made before Tesla cars were recalled and also the death of Matthew Perry. They really seemed to dwell on the last friends episode.
Nhtsa is always doing recalls. The latest one is over a font size. They do everything they can to make Tesla look bad. One change was "there are no rules or regulations about this, but we decided you need to make this change so it's a RECALL, let's yell it from the roofs" nevermind you can't have a recall where nothing is wrong. Can you imagine them doing a recall for every car without emergency breaks and requiring car makers to add them to old cars? It's insane. Govt has been after Tesla for years.
@@hopelessopus660never says lol Towards the middle they find a flyer in Arabic that says death to America, then later they find a guy who says he saw a flyer that said the same but written in Korean (or mandarin…it says he couldn’t tell the difference.

I watched all of it. The plot was stupid, some of the dialogue was bigoted towards whites by the black-power, feminist, armpit hair-having strong black waahman, and the ending sucked. I recommend a hard pass.
If you read One Second After by William R. Forstchen, he details how it would all unfold. It's pretty chilling and lines up with Stephen King's (albeit fictitious) novel The Stand. It is amazing exactly how precarious our entire society is perched right now. So many forces are at play to bring it down and it continues to balance (and somehow exist) on a razor thin high-wire overhanging an abyss. Thank you Amala for saving us the task of having to watch these films!

It isn't just the precarious place we find ourselves in w re to technology and our reliance on it. It's that we are beyond soft mentally and emotionally. If something cataclysmic happens, half the population will go insane immediately.
The Silence by Don Delillo is pretty crazy too once the network drop, and it's a short story about a group just having got through a plane crash have an intriguing interaction at their motel after the world loses it's technology.

I even know how to knit a blanket out of grocery bags because my grandma does it every year for the homeless and we helped her. I feel like most of gen z and all of gen alpha would be completely helpless. Probably a good amount of millenials too, the ones whose parents didnt teach them any skills.

Can we stop being racist, sexist, misogynistic, and even prejudice towards other people’s “generations”, that they were born into and can’t control when they were born and exist? Like, stop saying that any generation except for your own people is bad somehow, especially when there are literally people who are prejudice against any older generation that you are also. So, just please be nice and respectful and not prejudice in any way towards people.

Besides, the africans who sold the prisoners to the jewish slave ship owners who then sold them in the new world.. are equally as guilty. people should be proud they made it to the new world.. sure beats being in kenya. although.. kenya's largest slum.. those people are 10x happier than the black people in america because they arent poisoned by the media. I've seen it and experienced i personally. meanwhile you got clips of this guy ruclips.net/video/jPUFwmZN9eo/видео.html and evryones told the other guy is the racist. its so twisted
Absolutely correct - also it’s about white people loosing their comfort zone - their safe place and entering a new world with more chaos. The young girl finishes watching a safe show about goofy white people in a predominantly white world . Notice how she is surrounded by predominantly white shows . The message is basically- white people your time is up - embrace the chaos.
Amala, I’m surprised you didn’t point out the significance of ‘white lion’ on the name of the oil tanker (name of one of the first slave ships landing in 1619 and on one of the cars I think the white father was driving the radio station had a message played on station 1619), woke easter eggs.

Good job on your overall analysis and questioning of the film's several plot points. Here is where I greatly diverge from most of the reviews and commentaries on this film: I understand it as a film about how the least likely most unprepared, but most AWARE will probably survive. Because at the end, that is exactly who ends up surviving.
I watched this. There is no explanation why everyone disappeared. There is just no reason. Just because internet goes down, you’re not automatically going to find empty roads, where there is no sign of life other than crashed Teslas
How do the fuel deliveries get scheduled if the internet is down? There's only a couple of weeks worth of gas and diesel in the production and delivery pipeline at any given time.

Hearing things about white supremacy, since I am a white immigrant, makes me make sure not to ever donate to charity, give to food banks, or anything else that might be construed as having more than someone else. Solved my problem and is keeping money in my pocket!
I used to give to charities frequently. I got tired of how they sell your information and call you at the crack of dawn to hit you up for more money. Not to mention the bombardment of guilt-trip mail. (Like, is that where my donations are going??) No good deed goes unpunished. Funny way these charities have of showing gratitude. It's like they are trying really hard to anger people to the point where they never give to charity again.
I used to feel bad about not donating till I got over it! I am a European immigrant and white who has lived in the US for 40+yrs and I have witnessed these charities get in trouble with the govt/IRS.
Seems to me there was a time not so long ago when racism in Western countries was at an all time low. Sure, it still existed but it had been greatly disempowered compared to the past. Now we have the woke mob literally trying to put us back into the time of Jim Crow laws and people are increasingly focused not on the content of people's characters but merely on their skin color. While all this is happening the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is disappearing. Quality of life is going down exponentially and yet everyone is expected to be up in arms over their neighbor like they are the biggest threat. We are all being played and I think it time we stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated.

I watched the movie. That girl started out as anti-white until she eventually connected with Julia Roberts character (who didn’t trust black people.) Distrusting white people was NOT a message in the film, it was a character fault. So the message was actually a good one. The film was pretty good actually, until the end when we learn the reason everything is happening, which was ridiculous. But the film was not crazy-woke.
Exactly so I’m confused on Amala take.. it seemed like this channel would be all for the movie. I’m wondering if it’s because of the source which makes me think this channel is not unbiased like I thought it was.

Home ownership 1950s US 40% of black Americans owned their own homes - (curiously the same as today) Whites have only 10% more But what no one will tell you anywhere is why it’s lower for BA…..it’s because they live primarily in urban areas where it’s often more difficult to purchase a home. Rural America does not suffer the same consequences, and white Americans have higher proportions in rural America.
No we was allowed to to own homes in palace verdes where the homes wher 10 thousand at the time those homes are 10 million now then nixon flood racist immgrants to compete with the desendence of slave while at the same time black were fight civil rights and cia qas flooding the blk communities with drug to help kill and distablize them to the point were they turn on each other through certain tackles like the contel etc
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya sure, and he also knows tomorrow an ufo gonna land on top of the white house and they steal all our phones and delete the internet. Mark my words - tomorrow at 11:15 am 🤣
Why this story? What a weird question. Because why not. Whatever brings money. And people seem to enjoy to be scared from some imaginary bullshit story. Let me tell you: It's more likely that you will win the lottery but die of cancer before touching a penny of it, than any of that bullshit shown in that "movie". Don't you worry, my words are not a "forshadowing" but just making fun🤣 Don't watch this bullshit, trust in God and enjoy your life instead
You do not need a cyber attack to destroy the US, you just need to wait a few decades. Hate is very powerful to sale whatever you want (product or idea), but with some side effects...
I’m not a “prepper”… because I refuse to allow the narrative of fear to dictate my life… that having been said, there is wisdom in becoming self-sufficient and preparing for WHATEVER might come your way (not from a place of fear… but rather a place of knowing you’ll be okay no matter what). After the pandemic, I started questioning the narrative I have been force-fed and looking deeper… I found event 201 and things started falling into place… if you want to know what’s coming, pay attention to what the unelected leaders (such as the WEF are saying)… there are laws to the universe, one of the biggest ones is that you cannot impose your will over another’s… so the power players must get our consent to subjugate us… that’s why they tell us exactly what they are doing and then make people who question it seem like crazy conspiracy theorists. Pay attention to what’s BEHIND the message rather than the words themselves. In terms of this particular movie… I urge people to look into Cyber Polygon… and when sh*t does hit the fan… don’t give into the fear. No digital ID’s. No CBDC’s. Above all else… no more “patriot act” (I cannot role my eyes hard enough or express my distain deeply enough for these blatant “legislative moves” to remove our freedoms) dictates from the powers that WERE. We are facing difficult challenges… where do we want find ourselves on the other side? It’s not about Republican vs. Democrat… this is about ALL of us… and unless we stop looking at our neighbors as “the enemy” and look at what’s really going on… we are going to sleep walk our way into a “One World government” that dictates every aspect of our lives. It’s time to make a choice. Give in to the fear… or stand strong and make a choice about who you are and what you want, without fear. I for one will reject the attempts to control me through fear. I know who I am and I am not afraid.
Can’t wait for all the critics giving it a 100% rating and Hollywood and The Academy to be falling all over themselves to blow each other and give it every award imaginable. 🤮
I was most disturbed by the teen son losing his teeth. I was most encouraged when the 13 yo girl found a way to watch the friends episode she was missing. Also that bomb shelter fully stocked was dope.
That scene was to demonstrate how kids don’t really care about geopolitics. Whatever happens in the world they’re more concerned about what happens in their fantasies. It’s kind of like the little girl in Pan’s Labyrinth. Kids don’t know when stuff is really messed up because they haven’t had any life experience and they think everything is normal.
I think we as conservatives see the movie through a different lense with the knowledge of the Obamas involvement. I don't think the racial overtones of the movie were to point out that white people are inherently evil, as leftist would have of believe. I think it points out distrust in each. As you mentioned. Both of the women expresse their distrust. But at the end of the movie. They hold hands when the impending doom falls. I think it's to expresse we're all in this together. We always have been. Even during the transatlantic slave trade. Slavery wasn't just bad for the enslaved. But the free as well. I think the same can be said today. The obvious bias and prejudiced against white people today also negatively effects people of color. If we (black/white liberals/conservative) don't come together. The cabal will happen. It already is.
Yeah I wouldn’t over read the “don’t trust white people” from the daughter. As throughout the film the whole point is that opinions of everyone changes throughout.
Democrats feel this way too. It’s because of a National divide and this movie articulated the need to come together. I say this a lot, I’ve lived in 5 states, Wisconsin, Virginia, Illinois, Tennessee and now Texas so I see very much how the US functions. If my life revolves around church and my family my life outlook would be very different but because I have many friends from many walks of life I’m just naturally really open minded to situations. It all boils down to how you have to experienced life that forms your political ideation. Peace upon you❤️
i think the movie speaks to the divisiveness of our country and how easy it could be if something like this happened to turn on each other. it also highlights how people don’t trust one another and how destructive that can be. i blame the media for how much chaos is in the world right now. they are the reason why we are at each others throats. i liked it and the deeper message. my advice for anyone watching it: try not to fall into the trap of what “seems” to be on the surface.
The followers of this channel saw black people in the movie and automatically thought woke. I don’t think any of them are actually interested in understanding the meaning behind the movie.
This movie is extremely shallow. The fact that you think it has some deeper meaning just means you’re falling for the liberal narrative they are trying to sell you.
Please talk about the ADA (or lack thereof) on Airlines, it’s ridiculous! a couple of months ago I flew on South West Airlines and at the gate my group and I were told that we could all sit up front because another passenger getting on had a large dog and there were already two other dogs on the other side of the row so we couldn’t sit their either. I am completely paralyzed from the waist down and cat go into the bathroom so therefor I need the front seat to perform my medical needs that require assistance in private. We tried to vaguely tell the gate attendant this but she kept insisting that it wasn’t a big deal. Now I know a lot of people will probably say that the dog was a work dog and while you would be correct it was for an unspecified emotional reason (the gate attendant should have questioned THEM not me who has a clear disability) and the dog didn’t even sit with its person during the flight! I want to make it known that the couple did come up with a solution that worked for the situation but I still think it’s wrong that I was made to feel less than a dog!
@@rrmackay i just want to be treated like everyone else…with love and respect. Yes I do agree that it’s how you react that matters (I did not throw a fit) but it’s also important to point out the failings that this world has…. Bottom line is most able bodied people don’t think about those with disabilities/the struggles they deal with
@@moviemelody2210Unfortunately, many abled bodied people get jealous of accommodations that disabled people need and are extremely insensitive about it. The amount of people who think that they are fully justified in bringing their pet places, faking it being a service dog, or using other disability aides and resources that they don't need is terrible. It really shows what some people think of disabled people.
@@moviemelody2210you sound entitled. You said at the end they came up with a solution so what's your problem? If you dont like animals onboard then dont choose an airline that allows pets in the cabin.
I watched it and thought that the writer has no idea what will actually happen in this scenario. About the only person whom is portrayed somewhat accurately is Danny (Kevin Bacon) and he's really not. Preppers are not going to spend a bunch of money on bottled water, we have filtration systems and wells on our property. Much better use of money is to buy more ammo.
I don't think the movie was meant to be realistic. I think it was meant to be symbolic, so the race thing was likely overplayed. I know most of these commenters won't be interested, but I did make a long comment to Amala about preparedness. To me, some of these people would do better worrying about that than whether the white lady was racist. In a real long-term grid-down situation, the race of someone turning up on your doorstep in the middle of the night may not make much difference. They aren't getting into your house, no matter what. The idea that some pepper would let some random white guy into the house in that scenario is pretty laughable. People have to be prepared to help themselves. No one can prepare enough to save everyone else. I wish our government would be realistic and encourage people to prepare. Maybe if the unthinkable happens, more people would survive.
The whole message of the movie is how depraved people can be eachothers worst enemy and how that can be the most effective technique for a successful coup d'etat. So it doesn't surprise me that dysfunctional thought processes were highlighted, including the girl's racial bias. Julia's character admits in the movie that she indeed had the same bias toward the homeowners. She just didn't flat out say it.
I just finished watching Here are my few takes.(SPOILER ALERT!) - The part where Amanda wasn't know who she rented the house from, despite herself not trusting people. Is it me usually i booked or rented an airbnb, at least i reconized the landlord or owner names and save contacts due to if any issues like water leaks, tv not working, karaoke machine spoiled etc., i can contact owner for maintainence. - There are alot of trust issues since they are strangers. I thought G.H is a nice creepy man. But he is indeed nice - To be honest, i hate Ruth mostly when she only seems care about her feeling and cannot handle the truth then go on being angry and hate such conversation. - Throughout the movie, only Clay and G.H able to do their best to contain the situation. - at least Amanda able to accept G.H. (i kindof like the roller coaster conversation from dark to lighter convo) - the relationship progresses overtime, of course some bad stuff and good stuff they gone through. - Online aka internet contribute most or almost all in our daily lives. Businesses, navigation, gps, emergencies etc. Especially emergencies when communication cuts off. Criminal will rise and rob anyone because 911 is not available. Which is why it is a mess in the city. - Ah, now the main controversy. "Becareful of white people, i don't trust them" i believe there is a backstory of her or her mum facing prejudice before if not she would not have said those things. I remembered a zoom a teacher was fired because she shared how much she hated black people, and shared during her 16s. Some black teenagers robbed her and other unfortunate repeated occurrences which got her thinking or behaves that way. Many bashed her but part of me i feel sorry for her, i am not to justify her actions but i feel she unfortunate to meet bad people and generalizing them. she should expand her social circle there are good people out there to able to change her perspective somehow and seeing them as human beings not by races.Her dad could have told her, not all of them are bad, never judge base on their races and times has changed, and bad and evil based on their character of the person not skin colour. Unfortunately no. But this is just abstract of statement where some blacks people did indeed thought that way because how they suffered during apartheid during their ancestry and story passed down to their younger ones. I mean what if they step into the white family similar to "Get Out" movie. Kidding. Which is why separation of education based on race is never good idea. Even neighborhood or even churches. America should have been taught of their history and how it struggle from such division into a country of civil rights and great nation today not discrimination but some people wanted to revert it or go backwards, knowing they wasn't comfortable studying the real issues and how we got here despite how ugly or scary the truth was. - i love this quote from G.H "Nothing frightens me more than a person unwilling to learn, even at their own expenses. That's a darkness I will never understand." Which resonates even today's world with many confusions and chaos around the world where we hardly understands. - maybe i shared differently in this movie. It doesn't create divisional because there is a controversial quote that triggered u, i believed some said nothing on "Get Out" which most anticipated movie. if so then i think u missed entire point of this movie is about. And Ruth though most hated in the movie, but only to realize her controversial view changed (even though it didn't show) when Amanda rescued her from the deers (damn there is this muscular deer, i believe that is the deer leader, it hit the gym everyday), this viewed her that Amanda has problem herself and even Ruth, despite the differences, showing just hate don't get you anywhere even the most desperate situation, maybe having problems make people stick together. And even G.H to even risk his life to get Clay's son medication. Sure they are produced by Obama and his wife despite they no longer serve in the white house. And actually they can do whatever they love to, like it or not. Perhaps I shared differently to others. I felt we should appreciate where u are born and raised where u can vision to be anything in life, you could do other things you can dream of even after your career. U can be a judge and somehow wants to be a director in a movie after you resigned. U able to do it because that's what freedom is, while some countries unable to, due to poverty and poor education. I don't give a damn they produce movie or even direct them. As long they don't bring others down or illegal stuff. Conclusion. There are more awesome movie out there, i agree, it is not that fantastic, this is to me very good, not fantastic, just very good. Few things i love, during the movie, yeah we finally see Tesla cars got hacked and crashed one by one and the characters were panic and swivel the incoming hacked Tesla cars were kindof amazing and creative, deers were kindof creepy but better than zombies and yup the big ship crashing on the beach lol Bad are why the leaflet contains arabic then the guy said in conclusion it was from korean etc. Which is like "whaaaat?" then random siren appearing then Archie teeth start to drop (i was eating burritos, and i start having phobia imagine no tooth biting it). Oh the ending is pretty abrupt, where Rose managed to watch her last "friends" episode in the bunker. And worst throughout the movie, she was complaining, not the siren, not the glass shattered, but she complaint she cannot watch her last friends episode despite many deadly stuff happening. She be like "i wanna watch friends!" If i were her dad, the feeling of slapping her is damn high. I just give a 7/10. Very good somehow. Sorry, my english is not really good. Please forgive me.
I'm surely grateful for finding your channel. I have been harping at my four children to have skills. Mostly skipped college, all have skills and working. Know how to garden process chickens. 3 out of 4 of my adult children prefer horses over cars as they are natural and part of creation. Thank you again to your family for making you. Stay beautifully made.
I liked it. The daughter was woke and cringey but her view wasn't really presented like the main message of the story To me it was about society destroying itself from within. Both sides were at fault was the message i got
Thank you for the review. The concept for the movie is not unprecedented. In the 1730s the Cheyenne taught the Teton tribe of the Sioux in Minnesota how to ride the horse. Before then hunting buffalo required cooperation of several hunters to kill 2-3 buffalo. With the horse, one hunter could kill 12 buffalo in a single hunt. It transformed their society from one of equality and cooperation, to a stratified society of competition. I think that technology has done the same thing, making it easier for us to live apart from each other, fostering competition in a winner take all contest. Take away that technology and we would once again be forced to cooperate to survive.
Yes let’s all make the decision not to use technology…. Never gonna happen. Why don’t we all make the decision to be nice good people too while we’re at it?
@@philh2932I mean both of those things sound quite nice to me, and necessary if we want to be taken seriously as a "civilized" people long term. The more we rely on technology the less we rely on each other, pushing us further from each other. 100 years from now will there even be anyone to be civil towards I mean, we barely interact in real life now and we're only 20 years into social media being big
I respect that at least they let us know what was going on.......showing actual footage of what the characters were going through...this movie, concept has been done many times before...but the viewer is left clueless( virus? zombies? war etc) The daughter character was very mouthy and disrespectful..and wouldn't last very long in real life. I watched before the racism came out..( I think I fast forwarded that part lol).
Amala is not interpreting the movie correctly. If anything, it depicted as the black teenage girl as having racism views towards white people. All in all, I think the movie was pretty wholesome in that it came full circle and said no one should be having preconceived notions about anyone else based on race.
Obama is only here because of his Moma. Almost all the presidents are of the Hinckley Bloodline...as is Obama's white Moma. And THAT is how he got to be president.
I didn't hate it. It starts off slow but the product is built up distrust by everyone of everyone. There are some "oh sh%#" moments, and some human moments. I think the purpose of the movie is to get us ready for what's about to happen. I like Esmail's style and think it was overall a 7/10.
Genzeeers saying they could live without the internet is hilarious, and one of the main points of this movie. We wouldn't last a week without internet. The characters are made with the exact intention of being boring, oblivious and egotistical. Funny that not a soul mentions the symbolism of deers, the colour blue, the fact that the youngest daughter is ignored and bullied. Those intricacies are exactly what makes or breaks the movie for me, and observing those characters and how long it takes them to leave their belly buttons and look around was so good, it's the best part of the movie. The filming is also great (love the pov shots) and all the me robot Easter eggs. Yes, it's directed by Sam Esmail, not the Obamas. But oh well, to each their own I guess.
@@dartagnanhenry4492 yes but he gave total freedom to Sam, he said his vision was outstanding portraying exactly what should be conveyed and I couldn't agree more.
I think too many people these days use the term racism, in place of another term, discrimination. Racism means hate towards another race. The actions and dialog of all the characters in this movie were nothing more than discrimination brought about by their cultural backgrounds, fear and misunderstanding. People need to remember everyone is human and most people are not racist, most people are not hateful. Most are simply misguided and fearful of each other.
What people are doing is taking the traits of a character and thinking thats the theme of the movie. A character is racist means that the movie is racist. And thats just weird.
Racism is a power dynamic its action alot of people didn't catch the fact that the yt folk still got to sleep up stair in the man house whi’e him in his daughter slept down stair the power dynamic was crazy. Also at the bring of chaos theres no rules specially in my house
@@chappymoore2612 Racism is hatred for another race, none of the characters truly hate each other in this movie, afraid of each other, yes and discriminatory for certain but no racism was present. To be racist one must hate. A power dynamic is neither racist or discriminatory on its own, for there is no true power in the world, only perceived power. I do understand why the owner allowed the white folks to stay upstairs the first night as they did pay for the weekend. Once they realized things had changed the power dynamic should have changed but the owner relented as he was good of heart not for any perceived power dynamic at play. All in all the best character in the movie, or I should say the most likeable was the owner, calm, rational, caring and best of all humble.
I'm a white person and I liked it. That white person part didn't phase me. Cause these days it happens a lot besides that was a small part of the movie, and you see they all eventually got along. And oh yea its a movie
Let me get this straight. The Obamas have just produced two movies both on the US coming apart at the seams at the same time: “Leave The World Behind” and "Civil War"? Am I missing something? I read the comments down the page a ways and never heard anyone ask this question. Can someone help me out please?
I didn't know they were behind civil war. . But they are nit the good guys. Obama was very corrupt. I saw a video recently. Channel (forgotten history. ) most corrupt presidents. Obama has s video. Biden has a teo part video.
I didn’t get that Amanda was being racist. I got that she was suspicious and scared of to people she never met with no identification showing up in the middle of the night trying to enter the home while her kids were asleep upstairs. As a mother and just a woman/ human, I would be nervous to. And they e made it pretty clear that she doesn’t like anyone and is suspicious of all humans.
the father not getting this made me super mad because of his advocacy for the people. if they were up to no good his families deaths would be on him. as he said, he is a useless man and I cant help but agree
But that is systemic racism because of historic reasons, just like how Israel should not fight back for historic reasons if Hamas goes on a killing spree.
@@rexsceleratorum1632 So imagine this scenario. I am a white woman in the middle of this grid-down situation. A white guy turns up on my doorstep in the middle of the night. I am suspicious of him and have my gun drawn. That is the point of the comment, as I understood it. A lady is going to be suspicious of anyone showing up at her door. I suspect she might be more suspicious of a black man, but the white guy is not going to get a pass because he is white.
I have been worried about nuclear war for a while now, but after I started to learn about cybersecurity, I am a lot more worried about cyber warfare. Especially considering that foreign nations have extremely adept hackers. It's very likely that even if we don't go into full cyber warfare, that with the expanding technological capabilities of hackers that we at least witness several huge attacks over the years. The Norwegian banks got hacked after Russia invaded Ukraine, but I can just imagine the horror of American banks being targeted like that. I am concerned that this movie is a warning. True psychological horror movies for me are movies that could potentially happen - predictive programming.
I consider cyberattack to be more likely than nuclear war. One reason I find it worrisome is the way U.S. businesses are about 99% profit motivated, to the exclusion of everything else. Of course they must make a profit to stay in business, but what I mean is a corporation that has a net profit (not gross) of into the tens of billions annually probably won't put an extra million into cyber security. Rather that million or that few million will go into executive bonuses and maybe a tiny increase in stock dividends. And no one seems to have the common sense to back anything up with isolated manual systems any longer. As early as the movie HACKERS (fiction, I know, but with a big dose of reality), they were talking about a ship whose systems had no manual override. Now that is reality, and with self driving cars well in place, the next thing to happen will be that self driving will become the standard and manual operation will be optional. Except for sports cars and some heavy trucks, all transmissions in cars are automatic now, when I started driving automatic transmission was a luxury, just an analogy. Society will be screwed up if systems start failing, and about the only people who won't be affected are some elite who have bunkers, some survivalists who have been prepping for decades, good ole boys who know how to live off the land, and those who already live so primitively in some jungle, desert, or very remote island, that they probably won't know what is going on anyway.
If you think this movie had anything in it that couldn't really happen, you don't know enough about the real capabilities of the tech available to governments. Also, I was in a Cat 5 hurricane and people from work said they saw hundreds of wild deer lay down in a field near a major road on an airforce base. Typically, l would see a group of 3-6 deer together at any time on base. The deer knew something was coming and where to go to get away from it. Everything on base was destroyed except the fortified building that was across the street from the field and a few other concrete buildings. Deer were ok as well.
I have been wanting to watch it but just because those 2 have any skin in the game (and that’s not a racial referral I just really don’t trust them!) I opted not to. However, you’ve kind of changed my mind and I think I may take a peek at it and if it does come down to this, I’d like you in my bunker, I would feel so safe with a levelheaded, intelligent individual such as yourself!!!
It is a great story and a terrific movie. It makes one think. (That's probably what most Americans hate about the movie.) We had a similar movie in 1983, the yr I graduated HS. The Day After made us think about nuclear war and the possible end of our civilization. The big difference in the 2 films is that in one, the end is forced on us. The other film, we mostly destroy ourselves. Who cares who produced either movie. They are both stories you can learn from.
I just watched REDACTED (Clayton/wife used to be mainstream media. They were talking about how the massive influx of immigrants are young men 19-40 with a military vibe to them. Interesting that Obama's little movie is showing at the same time. Also, I rent from a Native American woman in an old Spanish neighborhood in Santa Fe. Multi-cultural and has been for centuries.
I used to watch Redacted - I grew tired of their truly conspiracy level nonsense, their uneducated discussions on military issues, the fact that she can't go 2 segments without bringing up how she is a "mom", and the time he started complaining about people leaving the US or worried about his precious kids being drafted....while they moved to Portugal. He is just a weak white boy.... Oh ya, and when the banned me from live chat when I asked if the crap in their "store" is Chinese made crap or not...their actions strongly implying it is. All in all, I find her a Karen and him a cowardly man who hasn't been allowed to make a decision since the day he met her. Seriously, pay attention to her eyes when he says something she doesn't like - i.e. he didn't have permission to say.
Hi Amala, I kind of liked the racial component because it narrated to me how easily masks can slip that our pre-conceived notions aren’t real And by taking the time to simply talk you’ll find commonality. For this reason I gave it an 8/10 on Laura scale😂❤
There is absolutely n o t h I n g to be shocked about. Think about it, there are much more important problems to solve. Much more roads to repair, lives to be saved, mouths to feed, peace to make.
amala why didnt you release this sooner; I just watched it last night. the characters infuriated me to no end and the ending left me with more questions than answers. 2/5 stars for me
I know the mother and daughter were supposed to be some empowered girl bosses but to me they were just a couple a**holes with no leadership qualities whatsoever. The men were more willing to sit down and negotiate, the women needed to back off and get themselves under control not a great look ladies.Why do people think screaming puts you in control of a situation?If you want to be in control, you have to first get yourself under control. The ending was abrupt and strange. The theme song to friends?
The point being we should all be friends if we wanna win against a common enemy… which is exactly what this channel would usually preach if it didn’t come from Obama’s mouth.. Honestly, this reaction from Amala is showing me that this channel is not unbiased. The movie is literally about with this channel preaches every day. but they’re finding fault with it because of the source.
I think the subtle shots at race from both parties was realistic because there was ultimately character development and growth. By the end of the movie the white wife was defending the black daughter and she also felt romantic feelings for the black husband after getting to know him (which is totatlly messed up) and admitted how evil she was to him previously. The movie was ok, I think it was good to do something mainstream confirming to everyone no matter if they are white or black, liberal or republican, that we should be worried, and we need to get over our petty issues and see the need to come together now and not only after a digital apocalypse.
democrats hyper inflation , open borders , World War 3, what's not to like ? If Barry "The Messiah" and Joe would stop funding our enemies like Iran with billions maybe we would have more time left
The funny thing is that IF we suddenly lost the use of ALL of our technology, there would be pockets of people who would survive and some that would not. Most would immediately raid supermarkets. The smart ones would get their hands on ALL of the seed packets for planting and growing food. Others would stay at home not knowing what to do. The older people (30 to 60) would mostly know what to do. The younger people (15 to 29) would have a very hard time due to not being as active or having "real world experiences". The arrogant people and the lazy people in most places would eventually perish. Only the strong, intelligent people would survive.
Like most Hollywood films "Leave the World Behind" was a technical mess of improbabilities. As a retired national security analyst I do have my worries. However the ones shown were pretty much impossible. Tankers and airlines are crewed by people. They don't run ashore or fly in the same spot in the water no matter what GPS says. Deer do not try to warn people of complex societal collapse. The Internet, radio and TV can go down simultaneously by a massive EMP nuclear blast. But that is not what occurred. I did note that the black righteous smooth sophisticated urbanite was probably how Mr. Obama views himself in another life and the two flaky liberal racist couple and their none functional kids as how they view white people. The ending totally sucked. To be satisfied that 13 year old gets to watch the next episode of "Friends" seems a stretch.
I watched this movie because the thumbnail had Julia Roberts on it and hearing Obama produced it got me even more interested. The movie was very entertaining and reminded me of foreign adversaries threat that I was already aware of. I recommend everyone to watch this movie.
Completely different take on the movie: for us, 4+ decades preppers, it was all about The Fog. Fog is that time between when something begins to unfold...and when the denying masses finally figure it out. The movie depicted three stages of folks. Roberts and Hawke were mostly deniers/no understanding; GH had a clue and was working on a solution w/o much preparation; K. Bacon fully understood, was watching and implemented his plan. Oh, the fourth--the little girl who just happened to stumble upon the answer to her problem. The way the movie ended was just brilliant. Race? The book and screen writers just put it the way it is and let it fly. As one who grew up in the 50/60's, HS and Univ in the 70's, I feel we are more racially divided now than we were, say, 30-40 years ago. Mostly due, I believe, to news and SM that keeps us stirred up. The racial aspect of the film kept the two families from actually going forward with a plan, kept their head down, which again reflects reality. Brilliant movie! And for those who wonder what a former two-termer is doing making movies--well--beats tying fishing flies! I say, "Produce another."
No there was more racism back in your day, especially amongst the African Americans. For the most part, except for the crazy people that of course end up on the news, there is overall less racism and more gender and racial equality than ever before.
I think the most interesting question is… why would a former President of the United States decide to make a movie out of this story?
Easy, of showing his true colors. Cuz face it, anyone can show their nice friendly loving side, until their true colors comes out. Like for instance, why would Obama want to make it sound like "white people are bad, not alone "racist" yet white people voted for him as president? Right because he acted politely, until he win his both trems as president. Hill there was a movie I watched earlier this summer, don't remember the name of it, which sucks, but I remember it was filmed back in 2015, and seeing clips of it. Parts shown when Obama was president saying something like "you don't need your freedoms" to the American people. But shown other clips of the movie were where Australia? Or some other sort of organization country was making a statement in the movie of "create the pandemic to change America's society". Which after watching that movie, than it kicked in why they wanted to create a plandemic back in 2020.
It feels like a premonition of things to come.
Social conditioning. It's always the answer
@@stefyroxanne7567It certainly feels like the elite are having a private joke amongst themselves by letting little tidbits of "possible" future events surface in films like this.
@Miniver765 100% this pattern has been going on since the event of mass media.
I watched this movie without knowing anything and it was so frustrating. The race narrative added nothing. Also if someone randomly showed up claiming to own the rental I was staying in, I would question it no matter the race of the person. That wasn’t a crazy thing for her to do.
Its predictive programming. In other words they tell you what they are going to do in advance
Same! I was so confused as to why the movie maker was trying to get us to criticize the mom for being suspicious. Never thought of their race at all!
As a mother, that’s how I felt too! I’m like “am I racist? Tf?” Lol I’m weary of a white delivery driver. Idgaf who you are… just, who are you and why?
Both things were true at the same time, she was clearly influenced by racist assumptions AND it was perfectly reasonable for her to be suspicious... Not mutually exclusive...
@@Elemental0069 Not mutually exclusive, no. But I wouldn’t say “clearly”. We didn’t have the context until the rest of the movie played out obviously, hindsight. But I, personally, wasn’t getting “racism” from that initial scene where she answers the door for GH.
I watched the scene where Julia Roberts' character expresses doubt about black people, and I thought it portrayed a somewhat typical reaction. Personally, I believe it's a natural response not to trust someone who unexpectedly shows up at midnight where my family and I are sleeping. In such a situation, I might assume they could be a potential threat or, at the very least, find it unsettling.
Being from Latin America, I want to emphasize that I don't judge based on color. However, if I encounter someone at my door without identification at night, I would certainly hesitate before opening it
Exactly. I didn’t see any sort of prejudice against the black owners of the house like I did the Black teenagers prejudice against the white people renting it. I feel like Amala was so far off. In this movie would’ve gotten glowing reviews from her if it didn’t come from Obama. I almost believe she didn’t even watch it, or was looking for an issue with it. doing exactly what she says Black people do all the time when it comes to race. this reaction was honestly very illuminating. I don’t believe this channel is unbiased anymore.
Exactly what I was thinking - I'd be suspect as well - who wouldn't be??
@@patsyarnold8469I agree, Julia's character responded the way any normal person would respond under these circumstances regardless of skin color.
@@patsyarnold8469 That lady who was attacked at a gym at night after opening the door for a random guy (?) might not feel that suspicion. Some people don't have a lot of self preservation.
This is exactly right. Later on she is bonding strongly with G.H., that's not the behavior of a racist. She also reveals that she just hates people in general.
So her actions being seen as racist by the viewer and the black daughter say more about them than it does about her.

As a South Africa, having lived through Apartheid and now rampant brutal crime, its normal to be highly suspicious of any person, regardless of race. Amanda ( Julia Roberts ) does not appear to be racist. She 's just a normal, concerned, responsible mother & wife, protecting her family. Nothing racist here !
But they are Americans. Everything has to be about race.
Do 'Britishers' call back people African Americans? (f'in dumb Americans)
Do 'Britishers' (dumb American) call black people Britisher American? (Believe it or not they're the smart ones)
What do 'Britishers' call black people?????

Well, if their name is Steve we usually call them Steve. If they're called Dave we usually say "Oy Dave mate, can I call you Dave or do you prefer David?"

It is normal not to blindly trust strangers, in fact it could save your lífe. With that said, the movie did portray her to also be racíst because she didn’t believe a błack person could own such a home. The film had a lot of racíal messaging.
There were a lot of hidden messages in the film.
The Whíte Lion ship is a reference to the Whíte Lion ship that brought the first Afrícans to North Ameríca in 1619.
The name of the market is Point Confort and that’s also the name of the fictional area in the film. Point Confort Virginia is the real place the real Whíte Lion landed.
The food supplies, have a lot of food that had criticism for having “racíst” images and names. Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s, Funny Face drink mix…
1619 was shown on the radio.
Red and blue colors were prominent throughout the film. The crack in the blue wall was likely intentional and had some sort of hidden meaning.
The wall art kept changing when things kept escalating.
The Hispaníc women’s warning about what was going on were ignored because of the language barrier but he also didn’t help her when she was clearly in need. As noted his wife was made to be openly racíst too.
Friends was the escape from reality and the fantasy perfect relationships.
Also, isn’t it odd that all theses films are coming out with common themes? The Civil War movie coming out depicting a similar divide and conflict. The American Society of Magical N…. These are all on top of movies like Dear Whíte People and Whíte Tears… All these films have division and the whíte guys are bad trope going.
@@GhostSal are those things in the book as well? Or were they only in the movie?

@@shoestringfries3418 I haven’t read the book but it would be interesting to find out the answer.
Honestly if you stay in a vacation home and someone knocks the door in the middle of the night, white, black or any race, you would still react the same way. A housekeeper who wants to commit a crime on an unsuspecting guest is the most reasonable explanation. The black girl is also distrustful because the world is supposedly breaking down. The end is where they all converge. The race part was insignificant because you could have replaced all the characters with any different race or made them all white and it wouldn’t have mattered to the story at all.
You hit the nail on the head 😅 you could've replace race with religion too. It would've been the same stuff. I guess they used race because it was base in America. And we're all roaring about that stuff nowadays. The husbands was way more trusting then the women 😂 I would've stand with the girls on this. Let's not just trust band new people when everything is falling apart
@@jeremyhall2727 Especially when they just happened to not have any ID on them. Come on, now! It's just common sense to be skeptical.
@@Spanky1you’re not allowed to be when the person isn’t white
Exactly - that’s the point they demonstrated. They didn’t NEED to assume the whites were suspicious due to race but the cynical young girl did. And the whites may have had a racial assumption but we need to forget all that and be rational lol you’re mad at the movie for making the point that you’re making lol
@@Spanky1 I know right 😂 they didn't ask for any proof at all. It's like the start of a horror movie. Oh come on in.. don't worry, it's going to be ok. That sounds (window breaks or death screams) was just the wind.
I could be wrong but there also might've been a little bit of character development. [spoiler] The black girl does say "Don't trust white people" but at the end she reaches for Julia Roberts hand as she watches what is happening to the city. Roles reversed, if Julia said 'don't trust back people' and then reaches for the black girl's hand might be her character going through some internal change.
Both characters got over their mild racism and eventually trusted each other.
Exactly! It's part of character development. Amala did not actually watch the movie.
@@pandahuakbar5470 or her perception is different.
Bless you for pointing that out. And this movie was about a whole lot more than just one bigoted comment.
Thank you. This comment should be pinned.
The only racist character I saw in this film was Ruth. Amanda's reaction to two people showing up to a rented out house late at night claiming to be the owners who ALSO want to stay there was perfectly reasonable. It's a weird ask, Amanda rented the place to get AWAY from people, and Ruth acted like a little witch from the first moment. I wouldn't have been nice to her, either. Ruth made up narratives in her head and ran with them. She accused the husband of wanting to bang her with zero evidence. Then, she made the comment about not trusting white people out of nowhere. She had no reason not to trust Amanda and her family at that point, but she still jumped to conclusions simply because they were white. That is incredibly racist and, sadly, realistic for 2023.
This was my thoughts exactly! When Ruth said "I'm pretty sure the dad wants to F me" I was like what? He's literally given no indicator that he wants to do that. I just thought "she needs to get over herself" And yeah the only racism I saw was from the black daughter. Not the white family. I never saw the white family going "We can't trust them. They're black!"
Facts I couldn’t stand her character
FACTS.. Movie is garbage anyways but what else to expect from all modern content nowadays.
Ummm...@anakaliaeastwood; while I understand your premise that it's a weird ask. Please understand that this was in fact THEIR home and the owners were relegated to sleep in the basement of their own residence. Even after it was understood that they owned the property. I believe you would be a bit peeved as well if a "renter" continuously said, "they want to stay in OUR house" when in fact it wasn't their house. They were only renting it. The visiting family took ownership of a property that wasn't theirs and banished the property owners to what some are saying resembled the 'lower deck of a ship'. If you only look at the surface of this movie (like a TikTok video); you're going to miss a lot of it's meaning.
@@legacyhome1780If somebody is renting your property, you have zero rights to enter. You can even get arrested. The family did a favor to allow them sleeping there. The owner couldn't even prove who he was. The family paid for it so it belongs to them during the rental period.
The interesting part is that the characters were focused on race while something much bigger was coming and viewers of the movie are focused on the racial aspects of the film while the movie itself could be telling us that something much bigger is coming.
My thoughts exactly. That is why I went into detail with my comment about the need to become better prepared and gave a web site that has a list of suggested books. I know most of the commenters here won't be interested, but if even one person gets better prepared and it saves their life, that is worth something.
I know most of these viewers are just stuck on the race issues and symbolism, but in a real grid-down crisis, the last thing on your mind will be the divisiveness of the country and race relations. You (and everyone else) will be focused on finding or stealing any food and supplies you can. It won't matter what color the person standing in front of you is. If they have food and your kids are starving, you are going to go through them.
Sorry, kiddos, that's the way it will be.
Thats happening in real life-real time already and for some years now.
Because that is main message Netflix wants to focus and wants the new generation also to focus on stupidity. I watched half of the movie and I stopped. I canceled Netflix long ago and I wonder why there is still people paying to watch Netflix and support this garbage.
Wow this is interesting I didn't think of this...
@@cherfromtn8225Thank you, I'd like the names of those books if you have them.
Honestly it's perfectly normal to question a random pair of people you never seen or meet and just accept everything they say as true. Then you let them come into the home your in and sleep in a house with your kids over night. Everyone wants to call racisms but I don't care who was at the door I would of treated them the same.
EXACTLY! If anyone came to the door when i was staying somewhere i would be very caught off guard. Doesn’t matter about race.
And her saying it could be a house keeper or anyone , well obviously you don’t know these strangers!! They didn’t show ID.
I didn’t get the vibe it was about them being black at allll.
Some people just like to be offended.
Both families had some mild racism when they first met. Both eventually end up trusting each other.
The guy did have info that he couldn't have had if he wasn't the owner, plus if the story hadn't needed the drama (i.e in a real world scenario) he could have shown them the email exchange between himself and Julia Roberts on his phone.
That's exactly what I said while watching that scene for the first time.
It was a trap for the audience to assume white woman's character was racist. Especially because the owners daughter was pushing that belief.
Later on we find out that Julia's character just hate people in general.
Feels like more of a warning then a movie

I watched it and honestly had no idea the Obamas were behind it. The whole racism theme and “white people are bad” theme was very strange and it made no sense the way it was injected at the beginning. Though it did seem that it showed both black and white racism and the unity at the end with Julia’s character and the black teenager character working together and hugging did sort of make it better. I understood what they were going for, and the over all plot of our own government fucking us (they do every day anyway) was really interesting. I just wish the whole “we must unite” theme was said in a less “white people bad” way…
It's sad that you and Amala took one line out of the movie and ran with it pathetic...I'm sure you'll could think of many movies to be called racist.start with Django,roots, Harriet,12years a slave,amistad,all in the family,we could go in for decades.but she won't talk about that.lady bye

Why do you think they are so cozy. These people are so full of it.
@@TT09B5 The point is that there is no anti white theme in this movie.
In the scene where they suggest that the person in the movie was skeptical because the individuals knocking were black, my perspective is that I would have reacted regardless of their race. The entire family was inside the house, and it was in the middle of the night, which wasn't specified in the contract. Additionally, since there are no family pictures in the house, the renters wouldn't know who resides there. Therefore, when someone unexpectedly knocks, skepticism is a natural reaction regardless of their ethnicity.
Only black people and liberals are constantly worried about color sick of it why can't we just be American
I was your 100th like. ❤❤❤❤
That was just a scene in the movie, purposely done for tension and a set up for the main message of the movie.

It was okay. That "can I see some ID" would've fit right in right from the get go. As soon as they presented themselves at the door as the owner's, I would've asked for some ID. That's the logical thing to do. Having race thrown in all the time distract from the narrative of the film. All in all, totally agree with Amala's ranking, 6 out of 10.

The views expressed by a character in a story do not automatically reflect the message of the story or the views of the author.

You are correct, if in a story a character is racist, woke, or stereotype blindly driven, the character's lines have to reflect that or the character would not represent what they are supposed to reflect, making it a totally incoherent story, for example, if a movie is about Nazis, it would be foolish to expect those characters to not behave as so or not have lines aligned with that, movies must be coherent with the topic and characters personalities to make sense
It’s took your plot summary to make me remember that I read the book and I remember how much I disliked the book because it was so boring.

I still can’t believe this was made into a movie. Your plot summary here was more exciting than the book itself.
It was very boring. The difference between Obama and M.Knight Shyamalan.
That ending is pretty ironic considering former President Obama has been a strong divisive force in this nation.
Every president since George w Bush, Jr has been divisive. We're a petty, selfish, divided nation.

What I found interesting was this movie was made before Tesla cars were recalled and also the death of Matthew Perry. They really seemed to dwell on the last friends episode.
Nhtsa is always doing recalls. The latest one is over a font size. They do everything they can to make Tesla look bad.
One change was "there are no rules or regulations about this, but we decided you need to make this change so it's a RECALL, let's yell it from the roofs" nevermind you can't have a recall where nothing is wrong. Can you imagine them doing a recall for every car without emergency breaks and requiring car makers to add them to old cars? It's insane. Govt has been after Tesla for years.

If you read One Second After by William R. Forstchen, he details how it would all unfold. It's pretty chilling and lines up with Stephen King's (albeit fictitious) novel The Stand. It is amazing exactly how precarious our entire society is perched right now. So many forces are at play to bring it down and it continues to balance (and somehow exist) on a razor thin high-wire overhanging an abyss. Thank you Amala for saving us the task of having to watch these films!
For an example of how precarious society really is, look at what happened in Louisiana/New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

It isn't just the precarious place we find ourselves in w re to technology and our reliance on it. It's that we are beyond soft mentally and emotionally. If something cataclysmic happens, half the population will go insane immediately.

The Hispaníc women’s warning about what was going on were ignored because of the language barrier but he also didn’t help her when she was clearly in need. As noted his wife was made to be openly racíst too.
Friends was the escape from reality and the fantasy perfect relationships.
Also, isn’t it odd that all theses films are coming out with common themes? The Civil War movie coming out depicting a similar divide and conflict. The American Society of Magical N…. These are all on top of movies like Dear Whíte People and Whíte Tears… All these films have division and the whíte guys are bad trope going.
Nailed it. Keen observations you commented on. Adds a whole other layer of insight.
only 5% of the entire african slave trade came to the new world. 80% went to South America and the Caribbean. This movie is trying to make people hate themselves. Besides, the africans who sold the prisoners to the jewish slave ship owners who then sold them in the new world.. are equally as guilty. people should be proud they made it to the new world.. sure beats being in kenya. although.. kenya's largest slum.. those people are 10x happier than the black people in america because they arent poisoned by the media. I've seen it and experienced i personally. meanwhile you got clips of this guy ruclips.net/video/jPUFwmZN9eo/видео.html and evryones told the other guy is the racist. its so twisted
Aren’t they now connected to Netflix?
Absolutely correct - also it’s about white people loosing their comfort zone - their safe place and entering a new world with more chaos. The young girl finishes watching a safe show about goofy white people in a predominantly white world . Notice how she is surrounded by predominantly white shows .
The message is basically- white people your time is up - embrace the chaos.
Probably gearing up for Holocaust, white version.
Tbh we should all just watch American History X and go to bed lol
greatest movie of all time in my opinion.
Such an intense film with an amazing cast
Incredible movie, in my top 10 for sure
Great movie❤
Free hugs 😂
I love your dynamite voice and great look. You gave a terrific movie review. Thanks a lot for the entertaining great show. Cheers!
Amala, I’m surprised you didn’t point out the significance of ‘white lion’ on the name of the oil tanker (name of one of the first slave ships landing in 1619 and on one of the cars I think the white father was driving the radio station had a message played on station 1619), woke easter eggs.
"woke easter egg". So anything that has something to do with any minority is woke right?
Wowww woke Easter egg just because it got something to do with racism. Look you seem piss, go outside and touch grass
@@SpeedmoneyJoey References to 1619 are endorsements of Critical Race Theory.
Fun fact, I "watched" this just last week. It was SOOO thrilling that I was playing bingo on my phone the whole time. It was background noise. So any racist nonsense went right over my pretty white head 😂

this is practically what people worried about 1999 and what would happen when things turned to 2000. if the computers would all crash.
yeah and it didn't happen but doesn't mean it won't and probably wouldn't be too hard to do
They're a bit late then 🤣
The whole idea that a computer would shut down because its 1900 was dumb. Only dumb people believed it
but that was because they didnt know computers are more capable than formally believed. this is a deliberate planned attack... not really the same as Y2k
Good job on your overall analysis and questioning of the film's several plot points. Here is where I greatly diverge from most of the reviews and commentaries on this film:
I understand it as a film about how the least likely most unprepared, but most AWARE will probably survive. Because at the end, that is exactly who ends up surviving.
I watched this. There is no explanation why everyone disappeared. There is just no reason. Just because internet goes down, you’re not automatically going to find empty roads, where there is no sign of life other than crashed Teslas
How do the fuel deliveries get scheduled if the internet is down? There's only a couple of weeks worth of gas and diesel in the production and delivery pipeline at any given time.
Who's going to be out driving around? Where will they be driving to? Why would they burn up increasingly scarce fuel running errands?
Hearing things about white supremacy, since I am a white immigrant, makes me make sure not to ever donate to charity, give to food banks, or anything else that might be construed as having more than someone else. Solved my problem and is keeping money in my pocket!
I used to give to charities frequently. I got tired of how they sell your information and call you at the crack of dawn to hit you up for more money. Not to mention the bombardment of guilt-trip mail. (Like, is that where my donations are going??) No good deed goes unpunished. Funny way these charities have of showing gratitude. It's like they are trying really hard to anger people to the point where they never give to charity again.
I never waste my time giving anything to anyone anymore voluntarily. Unfortunately, I can not control how my taxes are allocated and spent on.
Exactly, the best way to support everything is not to support anything.
You gotta learn American history to understand .you chose to move to america,stop complaing
I used to feel bad about not donating till I got over it! I am a European immigrant and white who has lived in the US for 40+yrs and I have witnessed these charities get in trouble with the govt/IRS.
Seems to me there was a time not so long ago when racism in Western countries was at an all time low. Sure, it still existed but it had been greatly disempowered compared to the past. Now we have the woke mob literally trying to put us back into the time of Jim Crow laws and people are increasingly focused not on the content of people's characters but merely on their skin color. While all this is happening the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is disappearing. Quality of life is going down exponentially and yet everyone is expected to be up in arms over their neighbor like they are the biggest threat. We are all being played and I think it time we stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated.
Thank Amala! It was good seeing you!🎉❤🥰
I bet Elon Musk isn't happy about having his cars portrayed as being hackable and used as a tool for whoever the attackers are in this film
He's happy. Probably signing an arms deal.
As long the dont catch fire....oh wait
He paid to have Teslas in this travesty…by the way, I don’t hate Elon who used to be the darling of the Leftists till he had the audacity to question their agenda.

I especially liked the scene on the beach with a watch half-buried in the sand...Ali pulls on it and there's a hand and forearm connected to it. Duh duh duuuuuh! Then cut to a different angle and there are bodies littered all around him on the beach. Must've really been focused on that watch to miss all that... :-)
I watched the movie. That girl started out as anti-white until she eventually connected with Julia Roberts character (who didn’t trust black people.) Distrusting white people was NOT a message in the film, it was a character fault. So the message was actually a good one. The film was pretty good actually, until the end when we learn the reason everything is happening, which was ridiculous. But the film was not crazy-woke.
I agree
Exactly so I’m confused on Amala take.. it seemed like this channel would be all for the movie. I’m wondering if it’s because of the source which makes me think this channel is not unbiased like I thought it was.
@@Poopoopeepee6969 i think people are just raw from all the woke messages in movies these days. They are quick to judge it at the slightest hint of wokeness. I don't fault them for it, but it makes us look bad to everyone else.
@@Poopoopeepee6969 also, I hate to say it, but her channel is built on showing viewers how crazy woke the world is. It wouldn’t get as many clicks if she said it was a fair take on race relations.
ITS WOKE TRASH
*I dozed off in the middle towards the end of the film. Thanks for this recap, Amala.*
Home ownership
1950s US 40% of black Americans owned their own homes - (curiously the same as today)
Whites have only 10% more
But what no one will tell you anywhere is why it’s lower for BA…..it’s because they live primarily in urban areas where it’s often more difficult to purchase a home.
Rural America does not suffer the same consequences, and white Americans have higher proportions in rural America.
No we was allowed to to own homes in palace verdes where the homes wher 10 thousand at the time those homes are 10 million now then nixon flood racist immgrants to compete with the desendence of slave while at the same time black were fight civil rights and cia qas flooding the blk communities with drug to help kill and distablize them to the point were they turn on each other through certain tackles like the contel etc
I watched it for the house, spectacular. And loved the end. Summed up gen Z in 15 seconds
BUT, WHY this story? Of all the stories they could have told, why did Obama choose this one? Because he knows what is coming?
Its based on a book. Is the author also "in on it"
He can not overcome his insecurities. The level of the movie shows the level of ideas. Just mediocre.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya sure, and he also knows tomorrow an ufo gonna land on top of the white house and they steal all our phones and delete the internet. Mark my words - tomorrow at 11:15 am 🤣
Why this story? What a weird question. Because why not.
Whatever brings money. And people seem to enjoy to be scared from some imaginary bullshit story.
Let me tell you: It's more likely that you will win the lottery but die of cancer before touching a penny of it, than any of that bullshit shown in that "movie". Don't you worry, my words are not a "forshadowing" but just making fun🤣 Don't watch this bullshit, trust in God and enjoy your life instead
You do not need a cyber attack to destroy the US, you just need to wait a few decades. Hate is very powerful to sale whatever you want (product or idea), but with some side effects...
I’m not a “prepper”… because I refuse to allow the narrative of fear to dictate my life… that having been said, there is wisdom in becoming self-sufficient and preparing for WHATEVER might come your way (not from a place of fear… but rather a place of knowing you’ll be okay no matter what). After the pandemic, I started questioning the narrative I have been force-fed and looking deeper… I found event 201 and things started falling into place… if you want to know what’s coming, pay attention to what the unelected leaders (such as the WEF are saying)… there are laws to the universe, one of the biggest ones is that you cannot impose your will over another’s… so the power players must get our consent to subjugate us… that’s why they tell us exactly what they are doing and then make people who question it seem like crazy conspiracy theorists. Pay attention to what’s BEHIND the message rather than the words themselves. In terms of this particular movie… I urge people to look into Cyber Polygon… and when sh*t does hit the fan… don’t give into the fear. No digital ID’s. No CBDC’s. Above all else… no more “patriot act” (I cannot role my eyes hard enough or express my distain deeply enough for these blatant “legislative moves” to remove our freedoms) dictates from the powers that WERE. We are facing difficult challenges… where do we want find ourselves on the other side? It’s not about Republican vs. Democrat… this is about ALL of us… and unless we stop looking at our neighbors as “the enemy” and look at what’s really going on… we are going to sleep walk our way into a “One World government” that dictates every aspect of our lives. It’s time to make a choice. Give in to the fear… or stand strong and make a choice about who you are and what you want, without fear.
I for one will reject the attempts to control me through fear. I know who I am and I am not afraid.
They always tell you what they are planning. It's part of their beliefs system that they have to do this so they can hurt you.

I was most disturbed by the teen son losing his teeth. I was most encouraged when the 13 yo girl found a way to watch the friends episode she was missing. Also that bomb shelter fully stocked was dope.
That scene was to demonstrate how kids don’t really care about geopolitics. Whatever happens in the world they’re more concerned about what happens in their fantasies. It’s kind of like the little girl in Pan’s Labyrinth. Kids don’t know when stuff is really messed up because they haven’t had any life experience and they think everything is normal.
I lost my teeth as a preteen. Got brand new ones. Lol... On the serious side, yes that would be very disturbing.
why tf would someone go throught the hassle of building and then stocking a bomb shelter just to not occupy it when the ned is coming........
@@dartagnanhenry4492They went "back home" at the end of the season. Hope they had a bunker there, also.

I think we as conservatives see the movie through a different lense with the knowledge of the Obamas involvement. I don't think the racial overtones of the movie were to point out that white people are inherently evil, as leftist would have of believe. I think it points out distrust in each. As you mentioned. Both of the women expresse their distrust. But at the end of the movie. They hold hands when the impending doom falls. I think it's to expresse we're all in this together. We always have been. Even during the transatlantic slave trade. Slavery wasn't just bad for the enslaved. But the free as well. I think the same can be said today. The obvious bias and prejudiced against white people today also negatively effects people of color. If we (black/white liberals/conservative) don't come together. The cabal will happen. It already is.
I agree. The message was one of unity. I liked it
Yeah I wouldn’t over read the “don’t trust white people” from the daughter. As throughout the film the whole point is that opinions of everyone changes throughout.
They are keeping racism alive by continuing to talk about it and focus widespread attention on race.
Democrats feel this way too. It’s because of a National divide and this movie articulated the need to come together. I say this a lot, I’ve lived in 5 states, Wisconsin, Virginia, Illinois, Tennessee and now Texas so I see very much how the US functions. If my life revolves around church and my family my life outlook would be very different but because I have many friends from many walks of life I’m just naturally really open minded to situations. It all boils down to how you have to experienced life that forms your political ideation. Peace upon you❤️
HAVEN'T WATCHED IT NEVER WILL FK THE OBAMAS
i think the movie speaks to the divisiveness of our country and how easy it could be if something like this happened to turn on each other. it also highlights how people don’t trust one another and how destructive that can be. i blame the media for how much chaos is in the world right now. they are the reason why we are at each others throats.
i liked it and the deeper message. my advice for anyone watching it: try not to fall into the trap of what “seems” to be on the surface.
the medie is to blame..... that same media produces a movie saying the media is to blame lol
The followers of this channel saw black people in the movie and automatically thought woke. I don’t think any of them are actually interested in understanding the meaning behind the movie.
This movie is extremely shallow. The fact that you think it has some deeper meaning just means you’re falling for the liberal narrative they are trying to sell you.

Please talk about the ADA (or lack thereof) on Airlines, it’s ridiculous! a couple of months ago I flew on South West Airlines and at the gate my group and I were told that we could all sit up front because another passenger getting on had a large dog and there were already two other dogs on the other side of the row so we couldn’t sit their either. I am completely paralyzed from the waist down and cat go into the bathroom so therefor I need the front seat to perform my medical needs that require assistance in private. We tried to vaguely tell the gate attendant this but she kept insisting that it wasn’t a big deal. Now I know a lot of people will probably say that the dog was a work dog and while you would be correct it was for an unspecified emotional reason (the gate attendant should have questioned THEM not me who has a clear disability) and the dog didn’t even sit with its person during the flight!
I want to make it known that the couple did come up with a solution that worked for the situation but I still think it’s wrong that I was made to feel less than a dog!

Generation Z and Gen alpha wouldn’t be able to survive. The rest of us would just go back to what we knew before technology.
2001 Gen Z here and I respectfully disagree. We are tougher and more resilient than we think, hopefully. We might be able to get through it in a way.
I watched it and thought that the writer has no idea what will actually happen in this scenario. About the only person whom is portrayed somewhat accurately is Danny (Kevin Bacon) and he's really not. Preppers are not going to spend a bunch of money on bottled water, we have filtration systems and wells on our property. Much better use of money is to buy more ammo.
I don't think the movie was meant to be realistic. I think it was meant to be symbolic, so the race thing was likely overplayed.
I know most of these commenters won't be interested, but I did make a long comment to Amala about preparedness. To me, some of these people would do better worrying about that than whether the white lady was racist.
In a real long-term grid-down situation, the race of someone turning up on your doorstep in the middle of the night may not make much difference. They aren't getting into your house, no matter what. The idea that some pepper would let some random white guy into the house in that scenario is pretty laughable.
People have to be prepared to help themselves. No one can prepare enough to save everyone else. I wish our government would be realistic and encourage people to prepare. Maybe if the unthinkable happens, more people would survive.
@@cherfromtn8225 I agree that the movie was more symbolic.
The whole message of the movie is how depraved people can be eachothers worst enemy and how that can be the most effective technique for a successful coup d'etat. So it doesn't surprise me that dysfunctional thought processes were highlighted, including the girl's racial bias. Julia's character admits in the movie that she indeed had the same bias toward the homeowners. She just didn't flat out say it.
She also says she hates everyone pretty early on.
I just finished watching
Here are my few takes.(SPOILER ALERT!)
- The part where Amanda wasn't know who she rented the house from, despite herself not trusting people. Is it me usually i booked or rented an airbnb, at least i reconized the landlord or owner names and save contacts due to if any issues like water leaks, tv not working, karaoke machine spoiled etc., i can contact owner for maintainence.
- There are alot of trust issues since they are strangers. I thought G.H is a nice creepy man. But he is indeed nice
- To be honest, i hate Ruth mostly when she only seems care about her feeling and cannot handle the truth then go on being angry and hate such conversation.
- Throughout the movie, only Clay and G.H able to do their best to contain the situation.
- at least Amanda able to accept G.H. (i kindof like the roller coaster conversation from dark to lighter convo)
- the relationship progresses overtime, of course some bad stuff and good stuff they gone through.
- Online aka internet contribute most or almost all in our daily lives. Businesses, navigation, gps, emergencies etc. Especially emergencies when communication cuts off. Criminal will rise and rob anyone because 911 is not available. Which is why it is a mess in the city.
- Ah, now the main controversy. "Becareful of white people, i don't trust them" i believe there is a backstory of her or her mum facing prejudice before if not she would not have said those things. I remembered a zoom a teacher was fired because she shared how much she hated black people, and shared during her 16s. Some black teenagers robbed her and other unfortunate repeated occurrences which got her thinking or behaves that way. Many bashed her but part of me i feel sorry for her, i am not to justify her actions but i feel she unfortunate to meet bad people and generalizing them. she should expand her social circle there are good people out there to able to change her perspective somehow and seeing them as human beings not by races.Her dad could have told her, not all of them are bad, never judge base on their races and times has changed, and bad and evil based on their character of the person not skin colour. Unfortunately no. But this is just abstract of statement where some blacks people did indeed thought that way because how they suffered during apartheid during their ancestry and story passed down to their younger ones. I mean what if they step into the white family similar to "Get Out" movie. Kidding. Which is why separation of education based on race is never good idea. Even neighborhood or even churches. America should have been taught of their history and how it struggle from such division into a country of civil rights and great nation today not discrimination but some people wanted to revert it or go backwards, knowing they wasn't comfortable studying the real issues and how we got here despite how ugly or scary the truth was.
- i love this quote from G.H "Nothing frightens me more than a person unwilling to learn, even at their own expenses. That's a darkness I will never understand." Which resonates even today's world with many confusions and chaos around the world where we hardly understands.
- maybe i shared differently in this movie. It doesn't create divisional because there is a controversial quote that triggered u, i believed some said nothing on "Get Out" which most anticipated movie. if so then i think u missed entire point of this movie is about. And Ruth though most hated in the movie, but only to realize her controversial view changed (even though it didn't show) when Amanda rescued her from the deers (damn there is this muscular deer, i believe that is the deer leader, it hit the gym everyday), this viewed her that Amanda has problem herself and even Ruth, despite the differences, showing just hate don't get you anywhere even the most desperate situation, maybe having problems make people stick together. And even G.H to even risk his life to get Clay's son medication.
Sure they are produced by Obama and his wife despite they no longer serve in the white house. And actually they can do whatever they love to, like it or not.
Perhaps I shared differently to others. I felt we should appreciate where u are born and raised where u can vision to be anything in life, you could do other things you can dream of even after your career. U can be a judge and somehow wants to be a director in a movie after you resigned. U able to do it because that's what freedom is, while some countries unable to, due to poverty and poor education. I don't give a damn they produce movie or even direct them. As long they don't bring others down or illegal stuff.
Conclusion. There are more awesome movie out there, i agree, it is not that fantastic, this is to me very good, not fantastic, just very good. Few things i love, during the movie, yeah we finally see Tesla cars got hacked and crashed one by one and the characters were panic and swivel the incoming hacked Tesla cars were kindof amazing and creative, deers were kindof creepy but better than zombies and yup the big ship crashing on the beach lol
Bad are why the leaflet contains arabic then the guy said in conclusion it was from korean etc. Which is like "whaaaat?" then random siren appearing then Archie teeth start to drop (i was eating burritos, and i start having phobia imagine no tooth biting it). Oh the ending is pretty abrupt, where Rose managed to watch her last "friends" episode in the bunker. And worst throughout the movie, she was complaining, not the siren, not the glass shattered, but she complaint she cannot watch her last friends episode despite many deadly stuff happening. She be like "i wanna watch friends!" If i were her dad, the feeling of slapping her is damn high.
I just give a 7/10.
Very good somehow.
Sorry, my english is not really good. Please forgive me.
Excellent review - good English. Easily understood! Thank you!!
Thank you for an honest - non-judgemental review. The young woman giving her "opinion" on this film is obviously driven by pre-established bias.
I'm surely grateful for finding your channel. I have been harping at my four children to have skills. Mostly skipped college, all have skills and working. Know how to garden process chickens. 3 out of 4 of my adult children prefer horses over cars as they are natural and part of creation. Thank you again to your family for making you. Stay beautifully made.
I liked it. The daughter was woke and cringey but her view wasn't really presented like the main message of the story
To me it was about society destroying itself from within. Both sides were at fault was the message i got
Thank you for the review. The concept for the movie is not unprecedented. In the 1730s the Cheyenne taught the Teton tribe of the Sioux in Minnesota how to ride the horse. Before then hunting buffalo required cooperation of several hunters to kill 2-3 buffalo. With the horse, one hunter could kill 12 buffalo in a single hunt. It transformed their society from one of equality and cooperation, to a stratified society of competition. I think that technology has done the same thing, making it easier for us to live apart from each other, fostering competition in a winner take all contest. Take away that technology and we would once again be forced to cooperate to survive.
Yes let’s all make the decision not to use technology…. Never gonna happen. Why don’t we all make the decision to be nice good people too while we’re at it?
I live with the same tech that I did when I was 16. No phone, car, tech. I love it this way. They can find me if they need me.

@@philh2932I mean both of those things sound quite nice to me, and necessary if we want to be taken seriously as a "civilized" people long term. The more we rely on technology the less we rely on each other, pushing us further from each other. 100 years from now will there even be anyone to be civil towards I mean, we barely interact in real life now and we're only 20 years into social media being big
UNDERRATED COMMENT, Nothing but facts!!!
I respect that at least they let us know what was going on.......showing actual footage of what the characters were going through...this movie, concept has been done many times before...but the viewer is left clueless( virus? zombies? war etc) The daughter character was very mouthy and disrespectful..and wouldn't last very long in real life. I watched before the racism came out..( I think I fast forwarded that part lol).

I feel sorry that you had to do this for us Amala 😔😔😭😭 this is a sacrifice for the greater good.
Why it was a great film
@@GCT1990it’s a joke, sorry if it wasn’t clear :)
God bless you, Amala
So... Does Obama not like his mom then?
And he must hate his daughter's boyfriend..
No.
Amala is not interpreting the movie correctly. If anything, it depicted as the black teenage girl as having racism views towards white people. All in all, I think the movie was pretty wholesome in that it came full circle and said no one should be having preconceived notions about anyone else based on race.
Obama is only here because of his Moma. Almost all the presidents are of the Hinckley Bloodline...as is Obama's white Moma. And THAT is how he got to be president.
She’s legit mad that he smokes pole
Am I wrong to think that if you own a place, you would have keys to that place? Even if you're renting it out.
It would be rude to unlock the door, when you have rented the place out.
Great analysis
I didn't hate it. It starts off slow but the product is built up distrust by everyone of everyone. There are some "oh sh%#" moments, and some human moments. I think the purpose of the movie is to get us ready for what's about to happen. I like Esmail's style and think it was overall a 7/10.
Genzeeers saying they could live without the internet is hilarious, and one of the main points of this movie. We wouldn't last a week without internet. The characters are made with the exact intention of being boring, oblivious and egotistical. Funny that not a soul mentions the symbolism of deers, the colour blue, the fact that the youngest daughter is ignored and bullied. Those intricacies are exactly what makes or breaks the movie for me, and observing those characters and how long it takes them to leave their belly buttons and look around was so good, it's the best part of the movie. The filming is also great (love the pov shots) and all the me robot Easter eggs. Yes, it's directed by Sam Esmail, not the Obamas. But oh well, to each their own I guess.
Mr robot*
I mention it :)
obama was "a very hands on producer" as the director said.
@@dartagnanhenry4492 yes but he gave total freedom to Sam, he said his vision was outstanding portraying exactly what should be conveyed and I couldn't agree more.
Genx is hoping for an internet crash. Huge strategic advantage 😂😂😂
I think too many people these days use the term racism, in place of another term, discrimination. Racism means hate towards another race. The actions and dialog of all the characters in this movie were nothing more than discrimination brought about by their cultural backgrounds, fear and misunderstanding. People need to remember everyone is human and most people are not racist, most people are not hateful. Most are simply misguided and fearful of each other.
What people are doing is taking the traits of a character and thinking thats the theme of the movie. A character is racist means that the movie is racist. And thats just weird.
The definition of Racism in its self has the word discrimination in it so one can mean the other.
Racism is a power dynamic its action alot of people didn't catch the fact that the yt folk still got to sleep up stair in the man house whi’e him in his daughter slept down stair the power dynamic was crazy. Also at the bring of chaos theres no rules specially in my house
@@chappymoore2612 Racism is hatred for another race, none of the characters truly hate each other in this movie, afraid of each other, yes and discriminatory for certain but no racism was present. To be racist one must hate. A power dynamic is neither racist or discriminatory on its own, for there is no true power in the world, only perceived power. I do understand why the owner allowed the white folks to stay upstairs the first night as they did pay for the weekend. Once they realized things had changed the power dynamic should have changed but the owner relented as he was good of heart not for any perceived power dynamic at play. All in all the best character in the movie, or I should say the most likeable was the owner, calm, rational, caring and best of all humble.
Tku for the Cliff Notes. I would never watch anything they put out. Your prettiness is a pleasant distraction.
I'm a white person and I liked it. That white person part didn't phase me. Cause these days it happens a lot besides that was a small part of the movie, and you see they all eventually got along. And oh yea its a movie
Let me get this straight. The Obamas have just produced two movies both on the US coming apart at the seams at the same time: “Leave The World Behind” and "Civil War"? Am I missing something? I read the comments down the page a ways and never heard anyone ask this question. Can someone help me out please?
I didn't know they were behind civil war. . But they are nit the good guys. Obama was very corrupt. I saw a video recently. Channel (forgotten history. ) most corrupt presidents. Obama has s video. Biden has a teo part video.
I didn’t get that Amanda was being racist. I got that she was suspicious and scared of to people she never met with no identification showing up in the middle of the night trying to enter the home while her kids were asleep upstairs. As a mother and just a woman/ human, I would be nervous to. And they e made it pretty clear that she doesn’t like anyone and is suspicious of all humans.
the father not getting this made me super mad because of his advocacy for the people. if they were up to no good his families deaths would be on him. as he said, he is a useless man and I cant help but agree
Yeah and at the beginning she said that she hates people
But that is systemic racism because of historic reasons, just like how Israel should not fight back for historic reasons if Hamas goes on a killing spree.
@@rexsceleratorum1632 So imagine this scenario. I am a white woman in the middle of this grid-down situation.
A white guy turns up on my doorstep in the middle of the night. I am suspicious of him and have my gun drawn.
That is the point of the comment, as I understood it.
A lady is going to be suspicious of anyone showing up at her door. I suspect she might be more suspicious of a black man, but the white guy is not going to get a pass because he is white.
Your review was brilliant 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
I have been worried about nuclear war for a while now, but after I started to learn about cybersecurity, I am a lot more worried about cyber warfare. Especially considering that foreign nations have extremely adept hackers. It's very likely that even if we don't go into full cyber warfare, that with the expanding technological capabilities of hackers that we at least witness several huge attacks over the years. The Norwegian banks got hacked after Russia invaded Ukraine, but I can just imagine the horror of American banks being targeted like that. I am concerned that this movie is a warning. True psychological horror movies for me are movies that could potentially happen - predictive programming.
I consider cyberattack to be more likely than nuclear war. One reason I find it worrisome is the way U.S. businesses are about 99% profit motivated, to the exclusion of everything else. Of course they must make a profit to stay in business, but what I mean is a corporation that has a net profit (not gross) of into the tens of billions annually probably won't put an extra million into cyber security. Rather that million or that few million will go into executive bonuses and maybe a tiny increase in stock dividends. And no one seems to have the common sense to back anything up with isolated manual systems any longer. As early as the movie HACKERS (fiction, I know, but with a big dose of reality), they were talking about a ship whose systems had no manual override. Now that is reality, and with self driving cars well in place, the next thing to happen will be that self driving will become the standard and manual operation will be optional. Except for sports cars and some heavy trucks, all transmissions in cars are automatic now, when I started driving automatic transmission was a luxury, just an analogy. Society will be screwed up if systems start failing, and about the only people who won't be affected are some elite who have bunkers, some survivalists who have been prepping for decades, good ole boys who know how to live off the land, and those who already live so primitively in some jungle, desert, or very remote island, that they probably won't know what is going on anyway.
If you think this movie had anything in it that couldn't really happen, you don't know enough about the real capabilities of the tech available to governments. Also, I was in a Cat 5 hurricane and people from work said they saw hundreds of wild deer lay down in a field near a major road on an airforce base. Typically, l would see a group of 3-6 deer together at any time on base. The deer knew something was coming and where to go to get away from it. Everything on base was destroyed except the fortified building that was across the street from the field and a few other concrete buildings. Deer were ok as well.
It was so depressing. Felt like death and despair to my husband and I. We couldn't sleep after the movie...lol
I have been wanting to watch it but just because those 2 have any skin in the game (and that’s not a racial referral I just really don’t trust them!) I opted not to. However, you’ve kind of changed my mind and I think I may take a peek at it and if it does come down to this, I’d like you in my bunker, I would feel so safe with a levelheaded, intelligent individual such as yourself!!!
"come join me in my bunker" what a weird comment lol
"You give them a inch, they'll take a 8 mile"
It is a great story and a terrific movie. It makes one think. (That's probably what most Americans hate about the movie.)
We had a similar movie in 1983, the yr I graduated HS. The Day After made us think about nuclear war and the possible end of our civilization.
The big difference in the 2 films is that in one, the end is forced on us. The other film, we mostly destroy ourselves.
Who cares who produced either movie. They are both stories you can learn from.
Who cares who produced it? They telling you what could or will happen.
Can't learn shit from this garbage story.
I just watched REDACTED (Clayton/wife used to be mainstream media. They were talking about how the massive influx of immigrants are young men 19-40 with a military vibe to them. Interesting that Obama's little movie is showing at the same time. Also, I rent from a Native American woman in an old Spanish neighborhood in Santa Fe. Multi-cultural and has been for centuries.
I used to watch Redacted - I grew tired of their truly conspiracy level nonsense, their uneducated discussions on military issues, the fact that she can't go 2 segments without bringing up how she is a "mom", and the time he started complaining about people leaving the US or worried about his precious kids being drafted....while they moved to Portugal. He is just a weak white boy.... Oh ya, and when the banned me from live chat when I asked if the crap in their "store" is Chinese made crap or not...their actions strongly implying it is. All in all, I find her a Karen and him a cowardly man who hasn't been allowed to make a decision since the day he met her. Seriously, pay attention to her eyes when he says something she doesn't like - i.e. he didn't have permission to say.
Hi Amala,
I kind of liked the racial component because it narrated to me how easily masks can slip that our pre-conceived notions aren’t real
And by taking the time to simply talk you’ll find commonality. For this reason I gave it an 8/10 on Laura scale😂❤
Trust is earned, not given.
I’m shocked that I actually really enjoyed this movie
There is absolutely n o t h I n g to be shocked about. Think about it, there are much more important problems to solve. Much more roads to repair, lives to be saved, mouths to feed, peace to make.
Until the ridiculous ending
Im shocked too. It sucked
Hello...? The director is Sam Esmail... Why is everybody ignoring this information.....?
@@elmoussaidalaa Wait really?!! Mr. Robot Sam? That's awesome.
amala why didnt you release this sooner; I just watched it last night. the characters infuriated me to no end and the ending left me with more questions than answers. 2/5 stars for me
The end was meant to portray the selfish white girl as leaving everyone for dead and not caring one bit… as long as her needs were met.
I know the mother and daughter were supposed to be some empowered girl bosses but to me they were just a couple a**holes with no leadership qualities whatsoever. The men were more willing to sit down and negotiate, the women needed to back off and get themselves under control not a great look ladies.Why do people think screaming puts you in control of a situation?If you want to be in control, you have to first get yourself under control. The ending was abrupt and strange. The theme song to friends?
100%
The point being we should all be friends if we wanna win against a common enemy… which is exactly what this channel would usually preach if it didn’t come from Obama’s mouth..
Honestly, this reaction from Amala is showing me that this channel is not unbiased. The movie is literally about with this channel preaches every day. but they’re finding fault with it because of the source.
At least it was realistic
I thought the ending was totally brilliant.
You do realize this was a movie, right? These are actors playing characters?
Great video and thoughts!
💯💯
I think the subtle shots at race from both parties was realistic because there was ultimately character development and growth. By the end of the movie the white wife was defending the black daughter and she also felt romantic feelings for the black husband after getting to know him (which is totatlly messed up) and admitted how evil she was to him previously. The movie was ok, I think it was good to do something mainstream confirming to everyone no matter if they are white or black, liberal or republican, that we should be worried, and we need to get over our petty issues and see the need to come together now and not only after a digital apocalypse.
democrats hyper inflation , open borders , World War 3, what's not to like ? If Barry "The Messiah" and Joe would stop funding our enemies like Iran with billions maybe we would have more time left
The funny thing is that IF we suddenly lost the use of ALL of our technology, there would be pockets of people who would survive and some that would not. Most would immediately raid supermarkets. The smart ones would get their hands on ALL of the seed packets for planting and growing food. Others would stay at home not knowing what to do. The older people (30 to 60) would mostly know what to do. The younger people (15 to 29) would have a very hard time due to not being as active or having "real world experiences". The arrogant people and the lazy people in most places would eventually perish. Only the strong, intelligent people would survive.
30 is not Old.. lol I’ll take “mature”.
Who loves and I mean LOVE Amala and her show? I DO!
What's so crazy is the fact you look just like the actress.
Like most Hollywood films "Leave the World Behind" was a technical mess of improbabilities. As a retired national security analyst I do have my worries. However the ones shown were pretty much impossible. Tankers and airlines are crewed by people. They don't run ashore or fly in the same spot in the water no matter what GPS says. Deer do not try to warn people of complex societal collapse. The Internet, radio and TV can go down simultaneously by a massive EMP nuclear blast. But that is not what occurred. I did note that the black righteous smooth sophisticated urbanite was probably how Mr. Obama views himself in another life and the two flaky liberal racist couple and their none functional kids as how they view white people. The ending totally sucked. To be satisfied that 13 year old gets to watch the next episode of "Friends" seems a stretch.
I watched this movie because the thumbnail had Julia Roberts on it and hearing Obama produced it got me even more interested. The movie was very entertaining and reminded me of foreign adversaries threat that I was already aware of. I recommend everyone to watch this movie.
Completely different take on the movie: for us, 4+ decades preppers, it was all about The Fog. Fog is that time between when something begins to unfold...and when the denying masses finally figure it out. The movie depicted three stages of folks. Roberts and Hawke were mostly deniers/no understanding; GH had a clue and was working on a solution w/o much preparation; K. Bacon fully understood, was watching and implemented his plan. Oh, the fourth--the little girl who just happened to stumble upon the answer to her problem. The way the movie ended was just brilliant. Race?
The book and screen writers just put it the way it is and let it fly. As one who grew up in the 50/60's, HS and Univ in the 70's, I feel we are more racially divided now than we were, say, 30-40 years ago. Mostly due, I believe, to news and SM that keeps us stirred up. The racial aspect of the film kept the two families from actually going forward with a plan, kept their head down, which again reflects reality. Brilliant movie! And for those who wonder what a former two-termer is doing making movies--well--beats tying fishing flies! I say, "Produce another."
Sit down mate,your Commie is showing.
@@clairez007 So, by sitting down it hides my...commie?
No there was more racism back in your day, especially amongst the African Americans. For the most part, except for the crazy people that of course end up on the news, there is overall less racism and more gender and racial equality than ever before.
It’s not for entertainment, it’s a warning to us that it’s coming soon! God help us all.
