Know what's pretty funny?

I remember watching this back in 2005. I re-watched this again just recently with a friend fr. Japan. He was telling about the reactions of some American friends of his, & how blown away by how stupid some of them were. Examples:

- How come Akira doesn't have common sense? He coulda' asked for help! Esp. when his sister died!

- If I were in the older dude's shoes, I woulda just abandoned ship. When survival instincts kick in, you help only yourself!

- How come they don't cry?

- How come they don't talk a lot?

- Why aren't they angry? They keep waiting for Mommy! They should hate her!

- When I was 12, I had more reasoning than that!

- He's a stupid boy for no cleaning out the apartment.

& my fave:

- Why are they only eating unhealthy food?! Doesn't the oldest dude know that kids need healthy food? It's his fault they were so malnourished!

As the title of the film states, nobody knows.

The birth unit already explained why it was important for the children to not make any noises and to not open the curtains or go outside to play... becos she was forbidden to have anyone else reside with her.

Sort of like when one signs a lease on a flat or home to rent. Only those whom have been approved to be on the lease are allowed in and on the premises.

They were taught to remain quiet, ergo the lack of emotions and communication.
