Review of A Quiet Place Part II (2021) by Healingtoolbox — 10 Jul 2021
The only thing I can add to what the pro critics say is to respond to Simran Hans question, "What are the monsters a metaphor for?" Before the year 2000, implacable monsters most likely reflected our nightmare fear of cancer and/or AIDS. Since 2000, implacable monsters--in both movies and video games--now reflect our nightmare fear of soulless Capitalism; since 2000, doing its best every day:
- to destroy humanity, - to destroy the environment,.
- to destroy Earth; or at least, turn it in to a prison planet.
Run-amuck Capitalism is the NEW monster whose name we dare not speak. The invisible elephant in the living room we dare not discuss for fear of "ruining everything.
