Did anyone else watch The Box Movie?
Question by LąÐÿ L: Did anyone else watch The Box Movie?
I keep trying to make this a “good movie” in my mind, but it wasn’t And it has nothing to do with how it ended. It’s more about the little things that distracted the viewer. Did anyone else find alot of unanswered questions in the storyline?
Here are my unanswered questions:What is suppose to happen if he never kills his wife and leaves his kid to suffer? What was up with the 3 pillars of water in the library? And why did he did get followed by those possessed people ther? To lead him to choose? Why didn’t they have some rational to choose the pillars of water? What was up with the field guide for testing ? What’s with the friggin peace sign? It means 2 for the pillar? It’s on the tape the wife god? So what, what was it about?
What was up with the babysitter? Is she controlled by the aliens but attempted to help out the dad when he brought her home? And that clue…look into the mirror? Meaning only he can fix it all? Yeah, ok…is that it? I mean I followed it but it seemed like those were little distractions from the fact that they tried to make it good, but fell short.
I think I got it. If we look at it from a Christian spiritual point of view. The Bible would be against killing – to living with your mistake. The alien (Arlington Steward) seems to want to see humans who have morals or whatever. So, killing again (his spouse) is not the altruistic thing to do as he mentioned. If he doesn’t kill again, then another person doesn’t die. Killing his wife and going to jail is selfish when you look it this way. Now his son grows up with his sight and vision and no parents…knowing daddy killed mommy. Or they can not kill again and be supportive to their son and live with their mistake…which maybe their natural punishment. In my book, they messed up again by killing the spouse…they just couldn’t deal with he grief of their son and made a haste decision without thinking it through.
goodmovie: Thank you for the answer, it helped alot and I agree with most of it. I still deep down believe they messed up again by pulling the trigger on his wife. Perhaps it is just my take on it from a Biblical stance. Your answer really confirmed a lot of what I thought maybe true, it helps to see another saw it in the same light. I did get the part about free-will which was my only clue to understand why those “minions” as you put it (lol) were even trying to give them clues, or as you helped me see…maybe trying to lead the couple to their fatal ending. Weird movie.

just got out of it. i don’t even know what to say. tht was probably the strangest movie i’ve seen. i didn’t understand half of it. the box played a role like twice in whole the movie and it was at the very beginning and the very end. I guess the water pillars were a shoice between heaven and damnation and only one was heaven. the peace sign was just something to tell him to choose whichever pillar. but i didn’t get the entire point of the pillars at all. the babysitter is one of the alien’s ’employees’ and the chlue means tht he is the only one who can save himself. and what i’ve realized w/ aline movies is that the aliens think they are god for some reason. becuase the wife of the alien(half face guy) thinks she was able to put him in damnation. overall the movie was very strange
