Leave the World Behind is all the rage right now. A film fraught with overtones of slavery, racial divide, and civil war, many will think of it as a typical remembrance of the two Obama terms.
This from survivethenews.com.
Produced with funding from a company supposedly owned by Barack Obama and Big Mike Obama, the film contains cult symbolism such as 666 and other artistic interpretations. For example, one of the ships that is grounded on a beach is named White Lion, which was the name of a slave ship.
The common conservative take on this production is that it is an anti-white film that makes white people look bad. But in total that is not what this film is about.
In fact, playing off against the anti-white racism is a character played by Julia Roberts who comes across as angry, bitter, and hating every person in the world.
And there is a character played by Ethan Hawke—a male, neutered snowflake, oblivious citizen, who doesn’t know how to do anything.
There is the character played by Mahershala Ali who is a very tolerant, reasonable, calming personality. He is a de-escalation character in the film, bringing some key narratives to this film about preparedness and community mindedness, and how we work together while also helping to explore some of the racial overtones.
And finally, Kevin Bacon plays the American prepper. He’s a handyman, he does contracting work, and he’s a hands on guy, he knows how to do stuff. He is the lone wolf prepper who is going to defend his property with his shotgun, which, frankly, may be necessary, depending on how crazy things get.
What the movie explores is a scenario where there are infrastructure attacks on the United States of America that take down telecommunications, and are designed to cause chaos and confusion among the American people to cause uprisings and revolts, and ultimately, a civil war in the country. There are effects of psychological warfare depicted in the film, for example, a small airplane dropping leaflets that appear to contain Arabic writing that says Death to America.
News reports are unavailable, the internet is not working, phones are inop, except in one scene, there are some phone emergency texts that come through. But other than that, there’s really no mass communication in the film. There is a bunker in the basement of one home where there’s some kind of military messaging coming across that says Washington DC is under attack. And This is a red alert situation, The nation is under attack, prepare accordingly.
There are hints of foreknowledge about has happened—a client defense contractor was moving lots of money around in anticipation of some kind of big cyber event. He knew something was about to take place, but he himself also was not a prepper. Nobody in this movie was a prepper except the Kevin Bacon character with a shotgun and the American flag on his porch. And frankly, he is presented as someone who could probably handle himself.
Imagery in the film: The deer represent humanity. The humans represent animals. The deer are really more organized, they’re community-minded, they’re working together, they’re more rational, and de escalatory. They’re inquisitive and intelligent and very capable of surviving. The humans are acting like crazy animals with no idea what to do, having no way to defend themselves, feeling afraid and unsure. And all they can do is scream and dance around like animals. Even the deer seem to think these humans are crazy.
Perhaps the most important line in that segment is when the Ethan Hawke character said:
I have no idea what to do right now…I can barely do anything without my cell phone and my GPS.
This self-awareness of being a useless man is notable. This is emblematic of many people in America today who do not know how to do anything. They have no choice but to beg for help.
One of the themes of this film is that people eventually begin to set aside their racist differences. And the Julia Roberts character sets aside her hatred of everything outside her own life to help figure out how they all may survive this together. And that is a really critical element about the goodness of humanity.
The film explores the collision of some anti-white woke racism, people hating individuals, preppers versus non preppers, escalation versus de-escalation, desperation versus control, knowing versus not knowing, panic versus [calm].
The takeaways from this movie are rather obvious:
– Don’t be like the Ethan Hawke character if you’re a man or woman.
– Don’t be like the Julia Roberts character either. Both are horrifically unprepared for what’s happening in society.
– Creating organization is critical. Questions for which to be seeking answers and tasks to perform: How are we going to survive this? What are our basic needs? Assess and inventory everyone’s skills, e.g., medical knowledge, firearms knowledge? Day shift and night shift designations for security? Who is good with radios and comms? Who has the best firearm here? Does anybody have any night vision?
– Work together to survive. Cross train one another various skills for redundancy.
– Identify likely threats and determine how best to strategically address those threats and which tactics to best employ so all survive.
The film, We the People, must expect is the Left foretelling of their intentions which they are wont to do. We may experience more than one attack, more than one collapse—perhaps a financial collapse and a cyber attack, a grid-down collapse and a food collapse, and who knows what else.
Final thoughts: Watching this film and thinking about our own situations and our own contingencies may very well help us better prepare for the collapse that is foretold will occur. If possible, I’d like to do so in a way that will not send any money or acknowledgement to Barack and Big Mike.
We must keep in mind the importance of preparation to individually survive, but also to help the people around us survive because teamwork will prove to be more effective. We all have a greater chance of survival as a team, however small. If we can determine how to work together, whether in one household, an extended family unit, a neighborhood, a small town, a county, or whatever the case may be, by working together we are going to have a much better chance of getting through this.
May God watch over us and may God Bless America.
