Overall, I wasn’t very taken by Bird Box and think it was slightly over hyped. Just compliment the monster or comment on how beautiful it is and they wouldn’t notice your not one of them). So, for an added safety precaution you might want to put your acting skills to the test and pretend to be one of them, if you bump into monster worshipers in the Bird Box apocalypse (to be honest, they all seem pretty high on monster so it probably wouldn’t be that difficult to fool them. I know the monster worshipers are still quite dangerous, they’re heavily armed in the film and could attack you for not loving the monster. It’s also highly unlikely that there’d be an optician amongst the monster worshipers to provide you with proper glasses, so you’d still be immune to the monster. They’re more like a reading glasses than seeing glasses, so you’ll still be able to see bug all. After you remove your glasses, you’re going to have to break them into tiny pieces, including the lenses, then have a cry over how expensive those glasses were.Īfter that you’d be pretty safe from the monster worshipers too, because even if the monster worshipers forcibly took you to the pharmacy to get a pair of those over the counter glasses, those glasses won’t make a button of difference. So, you’d be very much immune to the monster’s powers (you still wouldn’t be immune to walking into a lamp post or tripping over a cat, though).īut wait what about those crazed monster worshiper people, you ask? What if they attack you, forcibly put back on your glasses and force you to look at the monster? Well, here’s the hard part. Let’s just face it, with dirt poor eyesight the monster could probably walk up and headbutt you and you still wouldn’t be able to see it. If you can’t even make out objects 2 feet in front of your face, it’d be impossible to see a monster standing on the other side of the street or sitting up in a tree. Basically, all they’d have to do to survive is remove their glasses (yeah, it’s really as simple as that). It probably seems obvious at this point, how a poor sighted person could survive Bird Box, but just for fun I’ll go into detail. Magoo impression while not wearing glasses, I’ve discovered a monster sized loophole in Bird Box’s plot that would mean a rather large percent of mankind could survive the Bird Box apocalypse. Not because of vanity, it’s because I’ve had to wear glasses all the time since 8years old and forget I’m wearing them). I also tend not to draw myself wearing glasses. Something I’ve never really mentioned on this blog is that without glasses I have dirt poor eyesight (everything’s a blurry mess of fuzzy shapes and colours and without glasses I can’t even identify family members. By this I don’t mean complete blindness, I mean eyesight just poor enough that you can’t navigate this world without wearing your glasses. Anyway, this superpower is poor eyesight. So, what is this incredible superpower that protects from the monster? Well, its probably wouldn’t be considered a superpower in a normal situation, but in the Bird Box world it pretty much is. Considering you have to see the monster for it to have an effect, there is another rather large group of people (other than the completely blind), that could easily survive Bird Box, which quite a few of you and myself belong too. It’s a pretty interesting concept, but when you give it a bit more thought it sort of falls in on itself. Which in turn, causes them to have an overwhelming desire to run around pulling off blindfolds and trying to force people to look at the monster (causing the victim to die from doing so). However, the monster has a different effect on the mentally unwell and they see it as the most beautiful thing they’ve ever set eyes on. This leads to people wearing blindfolds to avoid catching sight of the monster. But before I explain, let’s have a quick summary of Bird Box’s concept for those who are unfamiliar with the movie.Įssentially in the film there is a monster on the loose that causes people to kill themselves if they look at it. Sadly, for Bird Box it would be very easy for a particular large group of people to survive and I don’t mean the mentally ill people in the movie or the fully blind. However, when rating apocalypse type films I like to consider how difficult it would be to survive them. It isn’t the greatest film I’ve ever seen but it’s watchable and has an interesting concept. But before we get further into this post, there’ll probably (most likely) be SPOILERS in this post, so if you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want it spoiled, you might want to stop reading.īack to the movie, all in all the film itself was okay. I’m a little late of the mark with this post, but Bird Box is a film I’ve wanted to talk about for a while.
