That’s only a very simplistic summary of the storyline, and now, here is my interpretation. The story goes on like this, and at the very end of the movie, the main character Malorie and her two unnamed kids (Girl and Boy) were rescued by a community of blind people who have never got threatened by this plague! Simply because they were blind, they are immune to the disease which transmits through eyesight of external entities.

Characters in the movie use blindfold to prevent themselves from catching the mysterious disease. The solution for preventing from catching the plague is, to stay indoors and never letting the sunlight reaches your eyes. The outside world has become ‘contagious’, so just by looking outside the window, you will catch this disease and will immediately commit suicide. Some newscasts suggest it as a bioweapon by a group of terrorists or the North Koreans, but nowhere in the movie it confirms what this monster really is.Īs the story moves on, the main characters figure out that the “plague” spreads only if you open your eyes and see the outside world. The story begins when TV news around the world starting to report people committing suicide in mass scale, for no reason. Now it’s the time you should stop reading this, and go watch the movie on Netflix and come back.***īird Box is about a mysterious invisible power which prompt people for mass suicide. It’s a movie about what this uncontrolled overload of digital connections are doing to the real social connections we used to have in a non-techy world. Yes, in my interpretation Bird Box is a movie about the negative impact of social media on our society. Maybe that’s because I didn’t see it as a horror or a sci-fi movie altogether, but rather interpreted it as an artistic depiction of the chaos we are going through in this highly competitive, highly cluttered, digital society. I will warn you at which point you should stop reading this post if you have not yet watched this movie.ĭespite some bad reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and barely 6+ rating on IMDB, I must accept that I actually enjoyed watching Bird Box. Read on, you have not yet come to the spoilers.

I am not a professional movie critic, but having watched this movie last weekend, I can’t resist sharing my interpretation of what the movie is trying to say to its audience. Bird Box now is the single most watched Netflix original movie to date, with over 45 million accounts (some 70+ million people?) have already watched it already.
