Leave The World Behind

EarpRider · Dec 9, 2023

Anyone watch this movie on Netflix?
Kinda makes me want to stock up on more supplies.

A family's getaway to a luxurious rental home takes an ominous turn when a cyberattack knocks out their devices — and two strangers appear at their door.

I haven't watched any of it yet. But the trailer makes me want to.

I though the string of stalled and damaged Teslas was an interesting touch. Now, where is that Cybertruck thread??

HotRod82 · Dec 9, 2023

Just watched.....it never really gets going. The trailer is way better than the actual movie. This flick was produced by Barak and Michelle Obama, so there are lots of"evil whitey" references.

Aaaand, now I have no interest in watching it

I watched this last night, little weird, but I guess that’s the direction we are headed.
On Fox news last night the host interviewed an independent journalist at the border and I “think” the journalist reported he was interviewing these particular migrants and they said they were Muslim’s and were coming here to attack us and convert us. I know I’m 83 and hearing my isn’t the best, but I was so shocked I called the wife to come listen. It was at night and I tell you this was really spooky to me.
Anyone else happen to hear this?

havasujeeper · Dec 9, 2023

I also watched it last night. It made me think of what I really need. I love the bunker at the end. Today, I saw it was produced by Mike and Osama Obama. I am nauseated right now.

johnnyC · Dec 9, 2023

more than most would want to know....personally i think we are all fucked its just a matter of time.... and you won't escape it..... no place to run

What a boring and weird flick. My wife summed it up with "Eerie." I fell asleep a number of times throughout...... There are lots of underlying hints and agendas spewed throughout the film. One of the interesting points was how superior the black father was depicted when compared with the lackluster father figure played by Ethan Hawke. Kevin Bacon played a good role but his visibility was minimal. Julia Roberts looked crazy and unhinged throughout most of the movie..... If you're really bored, then watch it. But it's 2 hours of your life that will be wasted.

johnnyC · Dec 10, 2023

in most commercials anymore the white guys are portrayed as weak, clumsy, and unable to uncoil a garden hose, the black guys are always all together successful strong virile and the white chicks get goo goo eyed and moist around them ..... himmm.......wonder whats going on? rarely see black chicks with white guys

funny we watched it last night also.
I could see this happening. with the way, the current anti-American democrat traitors are running the country.

Xtrmwakeboarder · Dec 10, 2023

Watched it, and it was OK.

IMO it’s already happening…. We’ll destroy ourselves before anyone else does

riverroyal · Dec 11, 2023

Horrible.
Ending was wtf, that's it?
A former president producing a movie about the end of the world. Starting with cyber then we kill each other basically.

How can a former president produce something like this?

Don't waste 2 hours

02HoWaRd26 · Dec 11, 2023

Watching it now, seeing some don’t want to watch because of Mike and Barry, that’s actually the more intriguing thing and why i wanted to watch.

Edit:
Just finished, to me was no different than “Day After Tomorrow” etc. the only part which i had to go back and watch after reading stuff online was when the line , "I'm asking you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people." was played that i see any bs in it. All in all i didn’t find it to be a bad show and again i basically see it an an updated modern version of “Day After Tomorrow”

Everytime I see or hear that word, I respond with "You're damn right!" and I think what a huge compliment it is.

That being said, look up the origins of the word and it's meaning and see how it wasn't intended to be a racist term.

I’m sure that “never trust white people” line came from big Mike.

Thing is. 98% of everything they use in civilization was invented & made by white peoples.

Loved the fall out room/bunker in the end. God I want one of those

HotRod82 · Dec 12, 2023

That’s funny, Obama’s literally got screen credits but they weren’t directly involved…. Oh, ok.

They were the $$$$$$$ part..... not physically producers..... they produced the $$$$$$ to finance the project, but still the script seemed to be a tip to what will happen with AI crap going too far & truth to our country imploding from within....

That mansion on Martha's Vineyard aint cheap to maintain.

With a "production" company, everything is now a business expense. Including heating the swimming pool and trimming the hedges at the "production" companies satellite office.

Try googling Higher Ground Productions. Let me know if you can find anything about the company, its board, leadership, where its located, what state it is registered in to pay taxes, etc. Its almost the same mystery as his birth certificate & college records.

The movie was based on a novel. I hope the novel had a better ending than the movie did!

I think this statement from the Higher Ground Productions website speaks volumes ---

Higher Ground was founded by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama in 2018 to tell powerful stories that entertain, inform, and inspire— while elevating new and diverse voices in the entertainment industry.

Newsweek ---- "Obama Faces Backlash for Film's 'Warning' About White People"

X user Matt Wallace called the clip of the scene "racist," saying, "This racist clip from Barack & Michelle Obama's first fiction film on Netflix called: "Leave The World Behind" is about to go viral!"

Yeah, no I won't be supporting this company, but I'm sure my bleeding heart liberal brother-in-law will laud the beauty of it's diversity.
Wonder if he'll still be gushing blue when I inform him that voting has consequences, and one is that his sister recently removed him from her will ?

I just want to video his reaction for posterity.

Writer-director Esmail was similarly awestruck about collaborating with the former president on his adapted screenplay.

“It was surreal and life-changing,” he said. “He read multiple drafts and gave excellent notes. He’s a huge movie lover, and his priority was always to dig in and turn this into a great movie.”

Esmail said Obama’s expertise on disaster preparedness came in handy, as someone who was once briefed daily on possible acts of cyberterrorism and geopolitical cataclysm.

“He gave useful notes on the disaster elements,” said Esmail, who was shaken to learn his fictional imaginings of a world under cyberattack weren’t entirely off-base. “But, honestly, Obama was most interested in the characters and our empathy for them.”

The premise of the story didn't change much I would imagine, but I'm sure the white hating Jeremiah Wright students Barack & Mike, were more than happy to make this their first fictional feature developed by their production company.

A really, really nice tax dodge and a way to hide personal income for for the Obamas.

PERIOD!

IF that were their only motivation and participation, then I applaud their business sense as RDP members do others taking advantage of similar loopholes.

But, when I review their website and see Mike and Oprah, then Mike's podcast, then a couple of shows that include Obama, it's more than just a write off, it's a legacy creation.

LazyLavey · Dec 13, 2023

I tried... really I did... until my wife told me who was influential .. Then it all made sense

dnewps · Dec 15, 2023

Movie was based on a novel….very strange for a former President to pick this story of self perpetuating civil war.

Mandelon · Dec 15, 2023

You need to read deeper into the ending. It is meant to be inspirational.

You see, in the end..... we will all be.... Friends! (Play theme song in your head here)

I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
