A Quiet Place

   Recently watched this movie and I really liked it, so I will do a review. 

A 'Quiet Place: Day One' was a good and emotional movie. I liked seeing how everything started and how quickly the city turned into chaos once the creatures arrived. The movie had a lot of tense moments, especially because the characters had to stay completely quiet to survive.

Sam’s story made the movie more emotional because she was already dealing with terminal cancer before the invasion even happened. While everyone else was focused on escaping the city, Sam wanted to make it to Harlem and get pizza from Patsy’s, a place she used to visit with her father. Her journey wasn’t really about surviving—it was about getting one last moment that reminded her of her life before she got sick.

Eric was different because he was desperate to survive and completely terrified when he first met Sam. He started following her through the city, and eventually they began helping each other. Even when he realized Sam wasn’t heading toward the evacuation boats, he still chose to stay with her and help her finish her journey. I liked how Eric slowly became more confident and how Sam gave him someone to depend on when he was alone and scared.

Their journey together was probably the most emotional part of the movie. They went from being complete strangers to genuinely caring about each other. Eric even found a way to give Sam the experience she wanted when they finally reached Harlem.

The ending was sad because Sam knew she wasn’t going to escape with Eric. She gave him her jacket and Frodo and helped distract the creatures so Eric could reach the boat safely. After Eric escaped, Sam stayed behind in the city. In the final scene, she walked outside alone, took out her headphones, played “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone, and allowed the music to make noise as a creature approached her. It showed that Sam had accepted her death and was choosing how she wanted to spend her final moments.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie because it was more than just an alien survival story. Sam and Eric’s journey added a lot of emotion to it, and the ending made the movie feel bittersweet. I’d give it an 9/10.
