I Think We’re Alone Now
The apocalypse…we’ve all considered it. We’ve all toyed with the idea of the annihilation of the human race; the result, finally a place one can call home. In I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW, Reed Morano (A Handmaid’s Tale) perfectly portrays a form of self discovery in experiencing living without the influence of others. Some may wish it, but is it all its cracked up to be? Humanity often stumbles when people are left to their own devices. Social cues and behaviors are certainly learned from who is around us in our daily existence. Can one find solace in a solitary existence?
I can’t imagine finding purpose without other cognitive beings existing around me to interact with though I haven’t always thought this. To really be alone with oneself is surreal. We deal with so many people everyday that its hard to really know when you’ve truly been alone with your thoughts and feelings. When I was young I often wished to be left alone. I was picked on, beat up, belittled, abused, and incredibly mad because of it. I longed for silence, left amongst my many books and movies. But time changes everything…
This film offers up to the audience a glimpse into what it feels to truly be alone in the world, only for it to be stolen by the introduction of another. I love how the trailer is extremely vague. The music and the siren perfectly sync up to create a moment of perfection that bestirred by undead heart. It certainly doesn’t hurt to see Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) and Elle Fanning (Neon Demon) star in this sci-fi apocalyptic dream.
