BIRT box is perfectly designed to
capture our imagination it sets up an
intriguing puzzle and then holds back
the information we need to solve it
that’s why blindfolding the main
characters is such a clever gimmick we
know as little as they do about the
monsters and what we don’t know
absolutely can hurt us
still there’s a fine line between a
movie that scares us with what we can’t
know and one that frustrates us with
what the writers won’t let us see bird
box is definitely a scary movie sure but
the way it ends leaves a lot of
questions unaddressed that’s why we’re
here to talk about how bird box should
have ended now before we go any further
we need a big-time spoiler warning we
aren’t gonna talk about how bird box
actually ended and that means revealing
some major plot details if you haven’t
seen it yet this is your chance to go
check it out then come back and finish
this video back great here’s the first
big question we need to ask where was
the army that whole time when the movie
begins there’s a news broadcast about
suicidal behavior sweeping through
Europe and Asia leaving tens of
thousands dead it’s been going on for
hours maybe days before things start to
go wrong in North America that’s
definitely enough time to draw a
government attention and in the famously
disaster prepared us that means fallback
positions and bunkers should be ready to
go long before the country shuts down
with that much warning the government
and military would have learned about
the enemy’s modus operandi which is to
drive people insane on sight now sure
most of the Army’s anti invasion plans
on the ground probably involve guns
which don’t do so well when you can’t
see what you’re aiming at but there’s a
whole nations worth of law enforcement
military and science personnel armed
with sonar radar and thermal imaging
equipment
while in the novel animals are also
susceptible to the monsters attacks it
might not be that way in the movie world
meaning that police and military dogs
could also be used to guide response
teams despite all these possible
resources we never see so much as a hint
of organized rescue efforts or
resistance of course at this point you
might be wondering if the monsters can
even be hurt at all the short answer is
we don’t know and why not because no one
in the movie tries now don’t forget this
is a movie that gets its cares from a
feeling of powerlessness against an
indestructible threat but as it is we
never see any actual evidence that the
threat is indestructible we’re never
getting out of here at the end of the
movie there’s a scene where the monsters
try to trick Mallory into opening her
eyes by mimicking the voices of her
loved ones if only she’d thrown a rock
or even just taking a swing in the
direction the voices were coming from
sure it might not have harmed the
monster but whether her blow had
connected or not
she’d know something no one else had
bothered to check she’d know
whether or not they could be hurt and
until the characters know that for sure
there’s no reason they shouldn’t try to
in the movie source material the
creatures seem to be physical they are
able to enter houses and are described
as giving off quote warmth and having
quote heavy footsteps on screen they
remain invisible to the audience but
they do displace objects around them so
while they might be gaseous clouds or
supernatural entities it’s not
impossible that some physical actions
could affect them who knows maybe they
have a weakness in fact we also know
that the monsters primary weapon isn’t
perfect
most people who catch even a glimpse of
the creatures seem to go insane or fall
under mind control they killed
themselves immediately or become
obsessed with showing others what they
saw but there’s one scene that suggests
it’s possible to resist it near the end
of the movie tom is fighting a group of
monster worshipers when he takes the
risk of opening his eyes to aim at his
enemies unluckily for him that also
means he gets a good look at one of the
monsters for most people that would
instantly seal their fate but Tom does
something incredible he visibly resists
the urge to kill himself long enough to
turn his gun on the last of the crazies
chasing down his family
sadly once he’s done he does and his own
life too but in that last act of
defiance tom proves it is possible to
fight back against the monsters and
anything that can be fought might be
defeated if one heroic ex-soldier can
stave the insanity offer a few seconds
who knows what someone with dedicated
the actual ending of bird box doesn’t
offer us much hope for the long term
sure Mallory and her children are safe
for now in the former school for the
blind but unless the survivors are all
willing to make their blindness
permanent they need a plan to take back
the outside world if the military really
is out there somewhere
the simplest alternate ending might be
the sudden explosive arrival of a rescue
force remember Shaun of the Dead we can
have a rescue team show up when the
heroes most need them and blow away the
monsters with overwhelming force but
that’s kind of a deus ex machina we can
do better instead how about ending on a
scene where Mallory and the other
survivors lay out what they’ve learned
so far and start building a more
long-term solution to the monster
problem after all half the fun of an
apocalypse movie is figuring out how
you’d react in the same circumstances
people all over the internet are talking
about how they survive this scenario so
why shouldn’t the movie itself do more
to solve that puzzle maybe there’s even
a sequel hook as humanity turns the
fight back on the monsters now yes a
potential solution might interfere with
bird boxes crushing sense of dread you
know what maybe it’s time we fight back
against the things that go bump in the
