The Raiders and other questions (Spoilers)


spoilers


spoilers


When the men came to raid his camp - why were their faces covered up? It wasn't as if they were going to leave anyone alive.
Also - after the first raid why didn't they enter the shack and just kill everyone - and why destroy valuable crops?
Having been discovered and survived - why stay there and wait with no defences - and even replant?
Was it necessary to show everybody naked - it added nothing to the film,
Was it necessary to illustrate most every human function - again, it added nothing.
A true survivalist would have killed both the women and moved on as soon as his camp was discovered or at least moved himself a distance away to keep watch for a few days.
Why would he help two extra mouths to feed? It made no sense.
And it seems to me that a guy with finely honed instincts would have felt her feeling about for the shells by the bed.

Because they wanted not to be recognized by any survivors.
If some escaped.

Also - after the first raid why didn't they enter the shack and just kill everyone - and why destroy valuable crops?


Because they had no axes to break open the doors.
How do you know it was the same group?

Having been discovered and survived - why stay there and wait with no defences - and even replant?


That's how Mankind survived the harshest of disasters. We rebuilt from scratch.
I take it you didn't survived anything in your life.

Was it necessary to show everybody naked - it added nothing to the film,


Not everyone has sex with their clothes on like your parents did when they had you.

Was it necessary to illustrate most every human function - again, it added nothing.



When you flush, do you look down? Why?
It adds nothing.

Only a true survivalist such as yourself would confuse a farm with a camp.
And only a true survivalist such as yourself would prefer the company of his right hand, instead of a woman.


Why would he help two extra mouths to feed? It made no sense.



I take it you never helped anybody in your life.
Your existence makes no sense.

And it seems to me that a guy with finely honed instincts would have felt her feeling about for the shells by the bed.

A guy such as yourself wouldn't even get inside a bed with a woman.
Because of his finely honed instincts would tell him that his hand is better.


I tried to be civil. I really did
But your just too dense

For this century

For this world even

If you regard this response as civil I am sorry for you.
Your assumption that I am a man is erroneous.
I will not sink to your level to respond any further.

Well, that just explains why you couldn't relate to a man's behavior.

I will not sink to your level to respond any further.


I apologize. I've been under a lot of stress lately.
Can we still be friends?

Covered faces was probably just to make them more menacing at first.

I thought they took the crops and just left behind the under developed ones. At least i assumed that as it would not make sense to just shake the shack and some garden vandalism.

Moving is a hard decision but so is staying. He would have to spend time moving and rebuilding whilst having very little food to do all this extra work.

I think that is the plot... he was lonely and emotions affected his survival instinct and as his guard went down those 2 were busy plotting his downfall. He went from using his brother as a decoy to now sacrificing himself for that girl. But he will be survived by his child.

Thank you Fattycakes for your well reasoned and civil response.
