SuperMechagodzilla posted:The main issue is that there's not really much reason for the movie to use silence as a plot device, when the actual narrative is about an uneasy coexistence with these capricious aliens that are largely benign but prone to explosive outbursts of violence. You've misidentified the anxieties of the L.L.Bean set. The preppy work-at-home engineer isn't afraid of the unknowable other. He's terrified that the rules of the system he lives in have become so strict and unforgiving that he can barely afford to exhale.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:The creatures are 'just' rage-monster byproducts. Nah, that ignores too many details of the creatures. They're part of the mechanism that enforces the protagonists' quiet lifestyle. Make too many waves and you end up with angry black creatures with big ears vandalizing your house and terrorizing your wife and kids.

Dropping a piano on something sounds like a good way to attract more monsters.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:There’s little or nothing evocative of the cops/feds. Nobody mentioned the cops. This sort of family doesn't find a quiet place away from the city because they're afraid of the police.

Movie needs a sign language birds-and-the-bees talk where Jim explains that birth control isn't foolproof.
