Movie - Leave the World Behind (on Netflix)

I don't know her from a hole in the ground, just goofing on the cringe name.

"She" is actually a man, and "Mahershala" is from the Bible.

If an actor is so full of themselves that they begin to treat the lowly production staff like pieces of trash, I'll no longer respect that person.

She's the female James Corden in terms of nastiness off camera.

You didn't answer my question.

You didn't answer my question.

I typically don't answer rhetorical questions

I kinda liked it.
That being said, I heard that it was produced by the Obamas or something so I figured they were going to try and sell us some leftist stuff. Instead I ended up trying to read between the lines on why the obamas would have helped the movie. What was the message?
It seemed like it was the last conversation between the two men in the car: first they take down transportation and communication, whatever the second thing was because I forget, and lastly (and this is most important part) they let us take care of the rest as we kill each other.
So it seems like if there's a message to get across its that if this happens, don't kill each other instead help each other out.

As mentioned previously, it's a faithful adaptation of a decent novel (it was better in print). Whatever messages may or may not be present, they were originally outlined by the author.

And just as a fun fact, the fella that directed Babe and Happy Feet also directed the Mad Max franchise!

It's like the rapture but with gulags for all.
