What are you watching?

Thought it was rubbish.  Though concerning if you own a Tesla with autopilot.

That is typical of the conclusion drawn by those who miss the deeper message contained in the movie. The theme presented is that modern society is heavily dependent on technical controls of the systems that rule our lives and that enable our everyday life. When those systems are disrupted the veneer of civilised societal norms quickly disappears.

Teslas were used in that movie sequence not as a direct reference to the brand but as a generic item that becomes useless without IT connectivity, like cellphones, internet devices, utility control stystems. etc, etc.

Lot of bad reviews on google for this, mostly copy and paste, seems like a targeted campaign

Just another example of how everything is politically polarised in modern day America. The movie's executive producers include Michelle and Barrack Obama, both of whom are intelligent, articulate people but if you're on the other side of the political divide..... You join the dots.

No I got the deeper meaning  - it was just a crap film.   Other films have shown a similar breakdown just done it in a better way.  Miracle Mile, Children of Men for example.  A film with a thin storyline and no end.

However if Ethan Hawke is someone you like then The Black Phone was very good.
