Netflix’s Post-Apocalyptic Film ‘Bird Box’ Is Terrific
Sandra Bullock as Malorie adds her magical charm to Netflix’s latest post-apocalyptic sci-fi film Bird Box. Gripping, inventive and a film with one of the most beautiful endings deserve to be seen by every science-fiction fan. The film plays with metaphors and creates suspense with panache.
Sandra Bullock’s cold-heartedness throughout the film is apt in a situation like this. She brilliantly portrays the role of a mother trapped in a realm where you can’t see anything outside. You are dead if you are not blindfolded. Metaphors play a major role in this film. Bird Box is inventive because it deals with an invisible enemy. It’s neither zombie apocalypse movie nor an Alien invasion film, Bird Box deals with a greater demon and the enemy is inside you.
Bird Box also qualifies to be a psychological thriller because it explores the greatest human fears – loneliness and death. Bird Box is not everybody’s film. It’s entertaining still most people won’t get the subtle meanings mostly shown as paintings, sketches, and nameplates. Bird Box has non-linear storytelling. It keeps juggling between the present and the past. This new sci-fi film is terrifying and surely a must watch.
