Cargo (English), The Silence

Watched four movies on Netflix in past few days. Two are as below:

Cargo

  • This Australian movie is a must watch.
  • Actually they show a family which have infection of deadly Zombie virus.
  • When you bleed fast you convert faster.
  • The movie is perfect and no faults.
  • They show how the hero gets bitten and wants to kill himself through a syringe. 
  • That syringe comes in  pack which is probably distributed by the authorities following the outbreak.
  • You get 48 hours but if you bleed more you get converted faster.
  • The hero changes his mind when the "so-called" family he meets is actually not a family but the person is keeping the lady as a "keep".
  • It is complicated because the hero has a two year old baby.
  • The hero then gets in touch with the native Aboriginal people who are able to fight the zombies using fire and traditional weapons.
  • And in the end the hero gets guided to the tribe after he has become a Zombie by using teeth guard and being led by meat in a stick like we see in "carrot and stick illustration".
  • Movie is must watch

The Silence

  • This movie happens because a subterranean chamber unexplored and unmapped cave system hidden for thousands of years under the Appalachian Mountains is opened by explorers.
  • And this unleashes monsters who are like coming straight from hell.
  • They are like huge bats and light brown in colour.
  • After living for thousands of years under the ground in the dark they have no eyesight but have developed acute sense of hearing.
  • And this sound enables them to attack their victims.
  • Anything which makes a sound is potentially their victim.
  • The hero family escapes alongwith his friend.
  • They get caught in jam on the highway and they take country roads and the friend suffers an accident.
  • But the creatures manage to reach them.
  • I feel what would have happened in the jam.
  • Though nothing is shown in the movie, I believe it would have been a massacre.
  • The did well to escape from the jam.
  • Then they take refuge in house and during visit to a local town to get some medicines they come across a cult actually a group of people who have taken refuge in God like traditional Christians.
  • They are believers of traditional religion like man is made to live in the world and procreate and accept the beasts as Gods curse and adjust to it. 
  • Their members have cut off their own tongues so that no one will be able to speak and make a sound anyway.
  • When they want to kidnap the hero's daughter as she is "fertile", the hero knows their intention and it is war and in the struggle many people from the cult die in the kidnap attempt and few from hero family also die.
  • The creatures supposedly cannot tolerate cold and freezing conditions and so the hero family escape up north.
  • In the end of the movie they show that man has evolved including the heroes daughter who has connected with her friend from earlier days and they are hunting the creatures using traditional bow and arrows.
  • The end begins with the question whether the creatures will evolve to survive the cold and will they develop eyesight and so on. But no doubt the world has changed.
  • Thus there are two "silences" shown in the movie. One is the silence to avoid the creatures and next is the silence not to take refuge in cult like religion where we accept something as "God's will" and resign to it.
  • If they would have accepted it the heroes family would have joined the cult, cut off their own tongues and the daughter would have been used for procreation.
