Hello, my beautiful friends! Thanks for coming again! How are you living? Today I am going to talk about an incredible movie called A Quiet Place!!
In creating a world where silence means survival, the details are everything, starting with the complex but affectionate family dynamics. Dinner is served on lettuce leaves and without utensils that might clank and give the family away to the blind monsters that don’t seem to have any other weakness.
This starkly terrifying horror film posits a near future where any sound above a strained whisper results in instant and gruesome death courtesy of the insect-like creatures that now populate the landscape. This horror-thriller is very consistent with its inner logic and makes excellent use of the exciting potential coming with it. In the first few minutes, leaves skitter along the street of a deserted country town. And a family, Krasinski, Emily Blunt as his wife, and three children are scouring a looted pharmacy for the medicine to treat their elder son.
This is an excellent and well-directed horror movie that makes us care about its characters and manages to be quite tense and scary. We follow the family’s routine. Krasinski searching for a solution to the significant issues, as well as repairing his daughter’s hearing aid. Her deafness providing the excuse for the family’s fluency in sign language and the irony of her not being able to hear the noise that could cost them all their lives. The screenplay is solid, the acting is good. The film's tension builds well, the post-apocalyptic world is well set up, and the score works really well with the sounds of the film.
Profound stories have always helped me reflect, but it was in the green field that I found the silence my mind needs. I invite you to discover how I seek tranquility on my new [golf and mental health blog: Kakuno Overthinking].
