The world needs people in it to be called a world, but what's the essence of living in the world when some bigger person wants it in chaos? There are people who prefer to leave the world behind, but can you? Are among those folks that say, "I hate people, and well the siren". Haha.
But, what is the world without these things? You know, they are what makes our world, and this movie, Leaving the world behind speaks more about signs, it speaks greatly about humanity and our attitudes towards one another especially, when chaos occurs. And, it is at this time we get to understand more about our world and the creatures that breathe in it…
We've got to know that when chaos or war occurs, there's no going back to normal because, if your memory fails to remind you, the scar would not. It holds more story as every trail and curve it leaves speak millions of worlds than we can imagine.

I know there's a lot of questions going on, and here's another one. How would you feel if you woke up to your wife packing her clothes into her suitcase and the next thing she says is; We are going on a vacation!
... and that was the first role Julia Roberts, known as Amanda Sandford, played in the movie. She took her husband by surprise by even doing all that he needed to do to make sure there's no reason for him to say no. And, he couldn't and didn't as he prepared himself, the kids and...viola! The vacation began.
Most especially, the mystery and suspense began with this.
Yes! Part 1.
Ethan Hawke, known as Clay Sandford, was super happy with his wife's arrangement, and yes... the House! And so were the kids, Rose Sandford and Archie Sandford. The first place they visited was the pool, which was great.
However, the mystery began when Amanda Sandford went grocery shopping and saw a man, Kevin Bacon, who goes by Danny stocking up his car with bottled waters. That was her first sign, but did she notice the sign? Well, you'll have to download the movie to find more.
Also, something else happened that same day. The family went to the beach, and what they saw made them run... a big ship! Yes, not just any sort of ship but the kind of one where no one seems not to be there kinda-ship moving towards them in a fast rate.
And, that wasn't all. When the night came, something else happened. In fact, a lot of things happened, and the suspense was strong. The movie was sure to play with my emotions when it brought Mahershala Ali, known as G. H. Scott and his daughter Ruth Scott back to their house.
You know, the same house that was rented out to the Sandford's for their vacation. This is where trust sets in as it is hard to believe if G.H truly owns the house like he has said or if he is someone else.
Moving to the next big part, the satellite shut down, lights out, a radioactive noise shook the place, no way out, and humans turned on each other.
However, the animals used, especially the deers saw the signs and they came in herds, hundreds of them coming out, leaving their comfort zone to send a message and, you'll have to watch the movie to know if there was indeed a war going on and if truly, people needed to see the signs…. Or not!
The movie rate to me is 7/10 as it is filled with lots of creativity with the little characters showcased. And I like the fact that the movie didn't say it all. Instead, it allows the viewers to imagine and be creative with each scene shown.
The trailer didn't even give a full hint on what the movie is all about, and I have to commend the awesome brains that put up the trailer. They did an awesome job. So, if you do love creativity, you can tune up with the movie in your less Bush day with a popcorn or a wine to go.
