00:00Man, what is your feed look like right now on one hand you have all these video
00:04Recommendations of people talking about the presidential debate on the other hand. Here's me talking about a movie in which people don't talk
00:16So a quiet place part ones directed by Michael Sarnosky
00:21Pronunciation check did I call it a quiet place part one or day one. I'm at the end of the video now
00:26I I feel like I called it part one a quiet place day one
00:30It is because it is in fact day one and it's exactly what it sounds like a prequel to a quiet place
00:35It's day one the day they crash-landed the day that everyone learned to survive
00:40You gotta shut up more people should learn that in life
00:43But hey, sometimes it takes an apocalypse this stars Joseph Quinn and Lupita Nyong'o, which I felt were great in the movie
00:50They have a solid chemistry and dynamic with each other. I felt their characters worked well
00:54She kind of comes across as very
00:57Callous and unapproachable at first, but I mean she has terminal cancer
01:01She was in hospice at the beginning of the film that puts her in a different mindset than the other characters in this film
01:06And other characters we've seen traverse this world at all
01:09Really every one of the movie is trying to survive this scenario in which it has entered their minds that today
01:16Might actually be their last day alive
01:19Whereas her character has been wrestling with that or accepted that reality for an undisclosed amount of time
01:24But definitely before day one the characters grow to appreciate each other as the film goes on lends for some nice
01:31tender human moments that hey
01:33I appreciate those a bummer in this movie was I was really looking forward to them
01:39Figuring it out this being day one because a quiet place as we have already seen it deals with people
01:44Who are still alive because they know to be quiet
01:47They know the importance they know that silence is golden not just golden, but silence is survival
01:53I was looking forward to that phase in time in day one in which the aliens crash land and people just clusterfuck their way
02:00Trying to get away from them, and they don't know they have to be quiet granted these things are plentiful
02:06There are a lot of them
02:07And they're very quick so people are gonna have to adapt quickly or die
02:10But I really didn't get to see the learning curve play out
02:13You know they crash blam lupita gets knocked out. She wakes up jamming hunts who's in like two scenes in the movies like
02:21Military helicopters like
02:23Don't make any noise
02:25Do not make sound I was like ah so they learned while she was unconscious so now they know so we're in day one
02:31But once again we come in at the point where people know to be quiet
02:35I feel like we got a flyby of what could have made this film feel more different
02:38You take a step back and look at it
02:40It is still these characters going from point A to point B
02:43And they know they need to be quiet in order to live and survive also cute cat in the movie
02:48You've probably heard a lot about the cat as a dog person
02:51I do love those furry little mittens called cats as well kind of a funny thing that cats have become the marketing thing
02:57It's like hey, so cat ladies. That's the demographic. Let's bring them in. I don't know
03:02I've just seen more cats and movies and entertainment these days
03:04And it's always funny that the cats they get don't actually act like cats because the cat in this movie cute cat
03:11But if I was ever in the situation where I was face-to-face with an alien
03:14And I was holding a cat and I was holding my breath to try to stay alive
03:19Not make a peep the cat would not join me in that silence of survival a cat would be like
03:27Then they would just shred us both I died the cat would die we'd all die, but no this cats like
03:35I'll hold my breath with you
03:40You sure that's a cat or is that one of the Wonder Twins taking the form of a cat to survive the apocalypse
03:45but in large part it relies on the
03:48relationship between
03:49Joseph Quinn's character and Lupita Nyong'o's character and you getting attached to them and the kind of tension that made a quiet place the
03:55Surprise hit that it is the sound of deafening silence the entire
03:59Audience holding their breath with the characters in the film there were a couple of jump scares
04:03Jumps in a quiet place. I will say Lupita Nyong'o's character her motivation the point B
04:09They're going to when going from point A to point B. I just didn't buy it given her situation and prognosis
04:15I get her characters need want and nostalgia for it, but just the logic the fact that nobody pushed back with
04:22Do you think they're open today in the end I enjoyed myself just fine
04:26I didn't love this movie as much as I wanted to by the third film
04:30Which is this film the prequel I left it feeling like well. I had seen that before
04:34It's kind of like this might hit you one way or another well if you haven't played the games
04:38You're not gonna know what I'm talking about I apologize for that
04:40But you know the Batman Arkham games a lot of people give Arkham Origins shit
04:43But I do enjoy Arkham Origins, but this is like a quiet places version of Arkham Origins. It's a prequel
04:49It doesn't break new ground in fact feels familiar to what you've already experienced before in this franchise
04:54But if you're looking for something to scratch that it you'll probably still have yourself a good time
04:58Alcohol required or so a quiet place day one have you seen it what did you think about it?
