A Quiet Place

No One Talk, Everyone Quiet!!

In 2018, a movie was released where the characters only speak 90 lines worth of spoken dialogue. This movie is the only movie like this on the market now. It stars Emily Blunt and John Krasinki, these two characters make this movie the phenomenal piece of art that it is. The movie itself grossed over 340 million dollars and critics have praised the movie for its originality and scene production.

This movie starts three months into the year 2020, where most of the human and animal population have been wiped out by horrific creatures that have taken over the world. These creatures are super sensitive to hearing, throughout the movie you also find out that they are almost indestructible. The creatures attack anything that they hear a noise from, this is also why the child from the family dies in the beginning as he is making noise with a toy.

The movie revolves around the Abbott family, the wife named Evelyn, and the father named Lee. The deaf daughter is named Regan, and the two boys are named Marcus and Beau. In the beginning Beau, unfortunately makes noise with a battery powered toy that he finds in a deserted town, and ends up dying by being eaten by one of these creatures. The movie goes on as the daughter Regan is still troubled by her brothers death, and the mother Evelyn deals with the early stages of pregnancy.

Later on in the movie, Evelyn is about to have the baby, and a diversion is needed to draw the hearing sensitive creatures away. The father Lee, creates this diversion by lighting off a bunch of fireworks and drawing the creatures away, as his wife gives birth. The entire family returns to the house as the creatures are drawn away by the sound. When the children do eventually arrive at the house though, a sound is made by one of them, and the creatures start to follow them. The father chooses to be the hero here and shouts to draw the creatures away, and in turn he sacrifices himself so his children can live. After all this happens there is a ton of commotion, and a screeching noise is created by the deaf girl placing her hearing aid near the broadcasting microphone that the family uses. This causes the creatures immense pain, as they are super sensitive to noises. The deaf girl saves the day, and now the family has created a weapon to use against these creatures, as they somewhat try to live their lives in peace.

Overall, this film deserves an A!! There are little things I would change about this movie though. For example, I would give more explanation in the beginning and the end. Like in the beginning, explain how these creatures are created or get here, or in the end , explain what the family decides to do with the new weapon that they have created how to help the human race.
