50 Shades of Gray, A Quiet Place, Hereditary

 Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line

50 Shades of Gray

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • This movie is a classic.
  • It is like Basic instinct movie from decades ago.
  • At that time the movie created a lot of controversy.
  • This movie also has or had the potential to create the controversy.
  • I feel the nude scenes are nothing compared to what we can see on Porn.
  • But the movie is like the fact that we are still like animals and we emerged from cave man days where we could see people dragging others by the hair.
  • But we are also modern in the sense that we cannot be like that in public.
  • And love is something which traverses the hurdles.
  • There are sequels already and we should be watching those soon.

A Quiet Place

  • This movie I rewatched.
  • Earlier I have seen this on Amazon Prime Video in April 2019
  • Now after seeing The Silence movie I saw in Reddit one person had remarked that A Quiet Place is probably a sequel to The Silence.
  • I had forgot the movie a little bit but I could remember Birdbox but not A Quiet Place.
  • Now it was not available on Amazon Prime anymore.
  • So I turned to MX Player and watched the Hindi dubbed version.
  • Since there are very few dialogues in the movie it was okay in Hindi version.
  • But no way is this a sequel to The Silence.
  • The Silence creatures are like Bats who emerge from the depths of the earth.
  • The creatures in A Quiet Place are "Aliens". 
  • It is not clear in Hindi version and so I will rewatch it when it is available in English version.
  • Also the hero and family visits a town and not much damage is shown. There are no bodies or skeletons either decomposed or fresh. And cars are parked neatly.
  • In that sense Birdbox or The Silence shows damage clearly.
  • If humans die en-masse who will do the cleanup.
  • It is highly unlikely. Damage will remain as it is.

Hereditary

  • This movie I watched on Netflix.
  • It is a scary movie.
  • Comparable to best in horror.
  • But they have seen an associate of the Devil, the demon king Paimon who does the damage.
  • I feel if you become a victim of such a powerful entity like shown in the movie there s nothing to be sad or scared.
  • And hence that is the purpose of 90% of horror and scary movies.
  • They want to show the "Evil" on the other side and bring you closer to the good like "God and Jesus".
  • And in situation like this movie like The Silence is powerful because there the hero fights with the Christian like cult for his family and does not succumb to them inspite of the challenges.
