You would think if they were running this highly successful pharmaceutical company there would be more surveillance being done than just one dude with some binoculars and a stopwatch. That felt like a plot hole to me.
I thought it could have been a simulation for them to understand how their illnesses would effect them as they age. Like maybe they would all wake up and be able to make better decisions about their health/lives, i.e. the tumor removal being presented as this grand decision. Also the couple in the end not even remembering why they were fighting and just choosing to love and be content with each other in their last moments. Honestly I would have loved to see that as an ending instead.
I also thought the rapper had more knowledge of the place than everyone else and he would be the key to figuring it out. I wish he wouldn't have gotten killed off so fast because his character was interesting.
There were multiple scenes of the kids quite literally stuffing their faces...? There was also dialogue talking about how the kids were so hungry because they were growing into adults while everyone else was in their final form. Maybe re-watch the movie again...
Why not? It wouldn't be crazy to think out of all the wealthy people at that resort one of them could have been famous.
No need to be defensive, it's just a conversation...
And hence "monster" in quotes. It fits in with the genre while not being an actual monster.
Absolutely disturbing in a perfect way. Hiding and running away from the alien is how the characters spend the entire film. That scene takes you directly to the place you never want to go and holds it there. "What happens when people get abducted by aliens?" is a question every person has and will never find out. This scene tells you and it's not magical or mystical or paranormal. It's instead organic, animalistic and familiar. Possibly the best filmmaking choice in the entire movie.
The chimp didn't see Jupe as a threat since they were worked closer together than any of the other castmates. The little girl was a threat because she was the one who opened the box and set the balloons free, which popped and scared him. The dad was a threat because he ran up on him in an aggressive way.
I think the fist bump moment is left for the viewer to speculate. Personally, I think when the chimp stopped to try to communicate something to Jupe it might have been him saying that the others were dangerous. The fist bump was a "we're on the same team" type of confirmation.
It was hungry...
I was trying to remember what that first news story was--the hikers answers that question!
When did they say it was his first live show? I was under the impression he had been doing it for a while but it seems like it would have been on the news if that were the case. It makes more sense if that was the first time he tried.
