Wow metaphors Galore! Maybe too many for some because most people want to watch a story with a storyline that provokes some thought and is primarily entertaining ... I know I do most of the time...one they can follow and enjoy easily without having to constantly read into what is happening and interpret it constantly ... I get that. Sometimes you have to be in the mood for a movie like 'BIRD BOX' or you just plain have to like that kind of movie which I do! I think we go through life often with blinders on ....refusing to see what is in front of us refusing to acknowledge the problems and the challenges. Sandra Bullock's character fiercely and stubbornly refused to allow the many problems and challenges to stop her from making life better ....she kept fighting no matter what and she was teaching those kids to do the same thing... in spite of all the unbelievable challenges that faced her, she was finally able to find and come to a better place... no matter how ugly or nasty the monsters, no matter how incredible the challenges of nature, she never gave up! She was unstoppable ... she became Superwoman! I think that is one lesson for us...never give up...at least do whatever is possible to find peace. If you can not find it on your own, seek out those who can help you on your journey. Goodness does exist..we need to believe that because it helps us to recognize evil... and achieve happiness. That is the lesson that I took from this movie. I realize that some people don't particularly care for this movie but I really enjoyed it.... it is different.
