![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hate Seinfeld with a passion and I still do. I don't like to make statements like that, though I'm probably guilty of them, because that implies that you've seen every comedy series ever made, and not just from your own country. That show is a super realistic portrayal of an apocalypse scenario even though it's supposed to be a comedy.I've heard from many people, and there's no real consensus on this, that they found Seinfeld, a show about nothing, to be the greatest television comedy series of all time. I guess I expected they would start acting like Tandy on The Last Man on Earth. Just make a facebook group "the leftovers" and see who joins, or even just make a reddit post, it'll be the only one on hot and people might see it. There might be millions of people left scattered around the globe. I mean, Iceland has like 300.000 population, even if they all vanished, that's nothing compared to 7.5 billion. I don't get how she didn't figure there might be other people left on planet when they met the old man. I guess that's why she committed suicide, she was a troubled person who needed help. Jenai seemed like a sad and depressed person even before the event, maybe it's her acting, but she seemed like she was just going through the motions on their vacation. Even if solar breaks down he could just put a mini turbine into one of the rivers and boom, electricity. Riley seemed like a bright enough fella to learn how to equip a house with solar panels. There's probably enough bottled water on Iceland to last them a lifetime and even if they would somehow run out, there are rivers, glaciers, wells etc.Īt first I was worried about their food prospects since the movie didn't show any animals until the later half but when I saw that animals still exist, like, what the hell are you worried about, you have an unlimited meat supply.Įven if the geothermal plants break down, there's still solar. I also couldn't understand why the girl was so worried about conserving food and water. Literally almost unlimited lifestyle options and they decide to live like a boring mid-twenties couple. Like, we are alone in the world so let's just continue living like before. It was probably because of the limited budget but I just cannot believe anyone would act like they did in that scenario. They only barely touch on religion in the movie, their going to the church and Jenai talking about her fathers church, and a brief bit about the rapture. This all seems to be to much of a stretch though. He goes out into the universe (sea) for too long and his absence his word or religion (wife) and man kind (children) have changed so much that earth (his home) is no longer his. Where God is the old man too long at sea, his wife being religion, and his children are man. This could be a metaphor for god, religion, and man. When he came home his wife and children were changed and no longer his. Later in the night he tells Jenai that he was a fisherman that spent too much time on the sea. He says something along that line to Riley, who dismisses it as depressing. His thoughts when they first meet speak to a philosophy that we are all alone together. They are on vacation in Iceland, so more than likely the language he was speaking at first was Icelandic. ![]() I don't believe it was supposed to be litteraly god, but it could have been a metaphor for god. ![]()
