The Corn Fields


I was playing games on my Ipad at the same time I was watching this, so maybe I missed something--but who planted all of the lush green cornfields we see all around them? This was something that made no sense to me and was distracting. It's day 470-something, so they weren't left over from before all of this trouble began. Wouldn't loud tractors be a problem? I grew up in Indiana corn and soybean country so I know there's no way all of that was planted by hand.

i mean it's kinda possible, you said it yourself "470+" days so...

You mean to have planted it by hand? Maybe some of it, but not those big, even, professionally planted fields. And then it would all have to be picked by hand, which would mean a lot of rustling of corn stalks, etc. This movie just made no sense....lol

there are plot holes in this movie to be sure but I still liked the mood it sets.


Have a short review of this movie if anyone is interested. If you feel there is something I could be doing better, I would definitely love to hear it. Review here - https://youtu.be/k42HUCd0zzM

They didnt have much else to do now did they. People were farming by hand for a long time. The fields didnt seem out of the abilities of 4 humans.

It would still be there if it was never harvested, but it wouldn't be lush and green more than a year later. It would be dried up and light brown. This happens about late September or October. I grew up surrounded by farms, but never actually worked on one, but I am guessing that the first killing frost of the year has something to do with it turning dry and brown. In Indiana, most of the corn is used as animal feed and other grain-related products, so they actually wait until it reaches the dry stage to harvest it. Anyway, this is a long way of saying that yes, it could be there a year later, but no, it wouldn't look like it did in the movie.

All credibility gone before even getting on the subject.
