![]() ![]() Those who have been dealing with their demons their whole lives are immune to the mass depression while those who have been keeping themselves blind to their troubles are now forced to deal with them. This could also all just be a representation of mental health. ![]() Criminals are the only ones who have not been raptured. That is why all of the people left on earth are either keeping their eyes shut, or they are bad/crazy people. But, all god can do is knock on the door and cannot force themself inside. It's no coincidence that right after Tom saves Malorie and her children that he is 'raptured.' He has done his good deed, sacrificed himself, and god sees him as worthy of being 'saved.' God, in this theory, is encouraging people to lift the veil from their eyes and accept them. They are trying to convince others to leave their flesh and bodies in order to join them. This is because the monster is an embodiment of all of the good souls that have been raptured. The monster even uses voices of people who have died to try and convince those still alive to open their eyes. They even say things like "it's not so bad" when they finally see it. There are several characters that say things that sound like whatever they are looking at appears to be a dead relative. The drawings that Gary made suggest the infinity monster is a shape-shifting Lovecraftian being.Īnother theory could be that this is a rapture of all people that God sees fit to join them. Infinity is and always was, and therefore will always be. The embodiment of infinity, in the form of a shape-shifting god, is not something a human brain is capable of processing and therefore if looked upon, causes people to escape their reality in the form of suicide. Something so grand and beyond our little, insignificant lives. The author of the Bird Box book originally said his idea for what the monster was is the representation of infinity. To make things a little more sinister, perhaps the monster is a large god-like being so big and powerful that when a human sees it, they cannot comprehend what they are looking at and go mad. They are not a burden but a reason to live. Of course by the end of the movie she realizes that she loves her children. She feels she is burdened by having to protect these children. This explains why even though Malorie needs a safe place for herself and family, she feels like she's trapped in a box unable to fend for herself. But even though they have a safe place to live, being trapped inside a box is more about survival and less about enjoying life. Birds can have a safe place away from the dangers of the world and harsh weather in order to raise their young and have a home. Malorie fears that if she does not prepare her children well enough for the future, they might one day decide it is all too much and commit suicide.Ī bird box is also referred to as a nesting box. Putting on the blindfold symbolizes a mother trying to protect her own family against some of the nasty things the world has to offer. Parents often will shield their children from the horrors of the world whether it be bad people, death, or fear. Sandra Bullock explained that her interpretation of the film is of a new parent trying to guide her children through a scary world while she herself is not sure where to go or what to do. One theory of what the monster is could simply just be a metaphor for the fear of becoming a parent.

There are several characters introduced that are either insane, blind, or criminal that are immune to the threat. They have to remain blindfolded because if they even look at the unseen being for a second, they will die. In the movie, Sandra's character Malorie embarks on a mission to take her unnamed son and adopted daughter to a safe haven away from the creatures that stalk them. But what would drive someone to commit the tragic act of suicide? Here are a few possible answers that might make rewatching Bird Box a little more frightening. This is another one of those films where it is very open-ended and up for interpretation since it is not fully explained what hunts the characters. The monster in the movie is never revealed, though there were some special effects designs created as a test (thankfully they were not in the movie). Bird Box came out in 2018 on Netflix and stars Sandra Bullock as a soon-to-be mother who is fearful of the future thanks to a complicated past. ![]()
