While based on the book "Bird Box" by Josh Malerman, the literature the movie inspires is the real treat.

The movie follows Malorie coming to terms with her new lifestyle and new responsibilities. The only way to see these creatures is to look outside, leading to an exaggerated use of blindfolds (and therefore, blindfold related memes). This new movie stars Sandra Bullock as Malorie, a pregnant, single artist who becomes trapped in a house with strangers after mysterious entities take over the world and force people to commit suicide by the hundreds. And I thought that was hugely important.The world has been raving about Netflix's new horror/thriller movie "Bird Box," but what's almost better than the film itself is the countless hilarious memes and funny posts it has inspired. There is a hopeful note in certain values that I really appreciate it. And so for me, it was key and, and part of what made me interested in it, was that if this scary, dystopian story, which actually has a hopeful undercurrent. I'm not particularly interested for the audience to leave, from the cinema or their own screen, with a kind of completely bleak point of view.


The book also has a kind of positive ending and I would not have wanted to do an apocalyptic movie that didn't have a hopeful ending. The film's director, Susanna Bier, told Polygon, "The movie is slightly more positive. In the book, Malorie and the kids still make it to the sanctuary but learn that many of the people there had intentionally blinded themselves in order to stay safe after a creature got in. The film ends with Malorie and her kids getting to the school for the blind and finally being able to take their blindfolds off for good. The film's director didn't want such a dark ending.
