Leave The World Behind




INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

Albanyac and his neighbor Sam have finished watching “Leave The World Behind” and review it start to finish.

Albanyac

I decided to watch this movie because I really like Myha’la Herrold...

Sam
I thought you were going to say Julia Roberts.

Albanyac

Well her too, pretty much the whole cast but, I like Myha’la from “Industry” and was curious to see how’d she do in this and she didn’t disappoint.

Sam

I got curious because it was trending on Twitter, on X whatever, and I was like lemme see what in the conspiracy theory is all about...

Albanyac

LOOOOL I mean, all for it, because some of them are interesting even thought very far outthere and yeah maybe might be some truth to them, but in the end is like; And what you gonna do? Do you wanna get proven right and then what?

Sam

Right?! It’s like this obsession with who runs who? I mean, your partner telling you to be at home by 5 that’s who run shit, worry about that. If the world is gonna end, well the fucks with it.

(CONT’D)

Albanyac

Now about the movie. Since when rich people started renting out their houses?

Sam

Well, it is good money. 3k per weekend...

Albanyac

(Looks at Sam disappointed)
They are rich? That’s like us renting out the place for $300. It doesn't make sense. And having someone sleep in YOUR bed every weekend? NoPE!

Sam

Well, for Julia and Ethan I would! It’s their vacation home.

Albanyac

They’re rich! He deals with some of the most powerful people on earth...don’t make it make sense because it doesn’t.

Sam

OK then! That’s a con. I find it funny though that she says she hates people then she’s the one doing grocery shopping and it cuts to the fucking beach hahhahahaha where of course there’s plenty of them.

Albanyac

And she lives in NYC! Oh! And that scene of Ethan wearing sunglasses.Couldn’t they get him a pair of 148-150 like ughhhh how that triggers me lol

Sam

There’s literally a boat heading into them but you’re worried about the glasses?

Albanyac

Well, they don’t look worried either, is like; Oh look a boat heading toward the shore. Should we get up?

Sam

But that’s so New York like... 

Albanyac

Oh cut that Instagram shit. New Yorkers are not indifferent or stupid. People misunderstand them all the time. New Yorkers are quick acting. They know what is worth dealing with or not and move on quick. This family is just dumb. Do you know the size of that fucking boat? The speed? New Yorkers would have been like nuuuuh, we’re leaving town. Boats don’t just show up like that. Instead these two are like oh well!

Sam

Then head home, where there’s no service of any kind, no TV, not only it doesn’t bother them but somehow the kids are not having a fit over it. But wait there is more. A deer!

Albanyac

Which he sees as a good omen, because the deers on the fucking East coast are scarce as fuck hahahahahahhaaha

Sam

And it doesn’t seem to bother them that the services are not restored for the rest of the day instead they play games.

Albanyac

WTF is with Hollywood and Game Night. Who actually does this in US? it’s in every movie and tv show!!! I don’t know anyone who does this. Like, I asked my friends once if they have Game Night and they were like “You mean Bowling?”

Sam

I don’t know anyone, unless drinking wine and talking shit qualifies as such then... yeah I don’t think we do this. It’s funny even more because they’re playing but their kids aren’t. And they’re all smiles like a cereal commercial .Like it’s a fucking brick tower! Why are you so happy?

Albanyac

But you don’t understaaaaand! 

Sam

Instead, they could have learned how to download all Friends episodes so that little girl would shut tf up about it for the rest of the movie. We get it. The show is a sign or something.

Albanyac

Then someone shows at the door...

(CONT’D)

Sam

Can you imagine the nerve! 

Albanyac

Hi! It’s late, we have no ID, no proof of ownership, but TRUST us this is our home.

Sam

The company forgot to put a host picture on the website, so you don’t know what we look like. You have no person of contact.So basically we can be anyone, but Trust us.

Albanyac

And since we’re at that. My daughter is also gonna have an attitude.

Sam

So what do you say? 

Albanyac

It doesn’t seem like their house. In NY, in 2023! Lol! What do people who own houses like this seem like exactly lmao. Do they carry a badge?

Sam

It’s like they trying to make Julia look mean, but who in their right mind would let strangers in their place of stay, while kids are upstairs. Even if you own the house, ok not till Monday you don’t I paid lol

Albanyac

I mean, why wouldn’t they just say; Hey! Shit is goin on in the city we run back here, because we think this is serious. That’s all!

(CONT’D)

` Sam

Instead she wants to call the company. The phones have been off all day bish wtf

Albanyac

Or or or when she keeps saying something is going on here. A FUCKING BLACK OUT! They just fucking told you! Hahahahahahahaah!

Sam

Then, they become friends. 

Albanyac

But not before Mahershala throwing some shaaaade! Affordable too! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Sam

Quick question though. What would you do in this sitution?

Albanyac

Well, first off you know I don’t do remote.If There’s no CVS in 5 minute walk I ain’t going there. I would have known his name, her name, their cousins name, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tinder all of them hahahhahaa! A Blink camera would have been handy and if I’m not expecting anyone I’m not opening the door.

Sam 

Daaaaaamn! 

Albanyac

Well...and Even if I knew all this, I would have left and gone to a hotel. I’m not sleeping with strangers in the house.

(MORE)(CONT’D)

Sam

I feel the same. And vice versa. Even if it was my house, not knowing the other people I don’t think i would ask to stay with them, especially with Julia acting like that.

Albanyac

Given there’s a blackout and all that, you can think well they have to, but the thing is, they still didn’t know exactly how bad it was so...

Sam

Weird though how, when he says “with all that’s going on in the city” and they don’t bother ask tf is going on in the city?

Albanyac

Ethan character especially is so...nonplussed hahahhaha

Sam

Instead he goes to town to buy a newspaper because apparently newspapers are still printed by 1900 technology lol

Albanyac

Then we find out something really is going on and Mahershala was warned about it for some times, but still doesn’t explain the deers lol

Sam

Here’s what I don’t get. They see/know all this happening, but they’re. Not worried? How?

Albanyac

It’s also a movie so, chill lol

Sam

And what did the Spanish lady say? Why didn’t they translate that?

Albanyac

She said, I hope you don’t need this gringo’s help because he’s not the one lololol

Sam

This is taking way too long

Albanyac

Well this movie is kinda slow, although I enjoyed it.

Sam

I loved the Tesla scene. That was scary.

Albanyac

And the fact that they just recalled 2m of them ...well...conspiracy theorists are gonna have a day lol

Sam

Would you ride one of them?

Albanyac

The self driving ones? Maybe in 10 years.

Sam

What other moments were there we forgot to mention?

Albanyac 

Oh! Not, Julia Roberts picking Too Close by Next and dancing like to Florence + The Machine lol

Sam

Not the fact they almost cheated? 

Albanyac

Darling, don’t you know? All is fair in war!

Sam

Haaaaaa! I’ve been warned!
There was that line though “The trust should not be doled out easily to anyone especially white people” that had people commenting lol. I think they are missing the point here. And The point is, that no matter what we think or what we know, we tend to be proven wrong because in the end it comes down to a single person no matter their skin color, their gender, sexual preferences, economic, intellectual status etc. Later on the white lady she didn’t trust saves her life, and her father saves a white kid’s life. When in need all the prejudices fly out of the window, and that’s when humanity kicks in. That’s what I think the lesson is here.

Albanyac 

Who are you? 

Sam

Yeah... 

Albanyac

So, anyway. I thought this was an A.I attack or at least that’s what’s being insinuated, even thought they tried to make it seem confusing.

(CONT’D)

Sam

You think so? I thought it was more like a group of countries who did this?

Albanyac

Nope, because if another country did this, and that rich dude knew about this, then the government would have known as well. But A.I getting out of control, that explains him knowing and government not being able to halt it on time.

Sam

But what about the ending. That had people pissed lol

Albanyac

I loved the ending! 

Sam

I thought it was a good find. A cute “joke” - life goes on kinda - going throughout the movie.

Albanyac

That, or the fact that it was the last episode of the show and it was named The Last One, kind of foretelling. Also keep in mind that, the last episode was aired in 2004 before smartphones, A.I, social media and technology became way more influential in everybody’s daily life, pretty much a necessity. She’s watching it on DVD as if to say, going back before everything became too much. Maybe also, as simple as” : whatever happens, life goes on, humans will survive and maybe learn to be... friends.

(MORE)(CONT’D)

Sam

So...poetic lol

Albanyac

Bish! Tf

Sam

Makes me wanna watch Friends. Do you?

Albanyac

If God forbid we ever in a bunker. Maybe.
