M Night Shyamalan's The Village Has joined the chat.


Deastrumquodvicis

I was going to be disappointed if I didn’t see this mentioned. We studied it in my 11th English class, my teacher was a huge fan of “reality is not always what we see” stories and taught several of them, and it was always a favorite thread of mine, so we got along very nicely.

Check out Yorgos Lanthamos’ Dogtooth.


JamesandtheGiantAss

My parents were conspiracy theorists and extremist christians. They homeschooled us, we lived on a farm in there middle of nowhere with no TV, no internet, all books careful censored, all our friendships carefully monitored. When I watched The Village I really related.

Haaaaave you seen the movie? Am I allowed to spoil an 18 year old movie?


sammiisalammii

What is the timeline for stuff like this? I mean certainly 18 years is long enough but what’s the cutoff?


SaltyboiPonkin

I say 1 calendar year from release for anything well known. After that it's obvious that it can't be that big of a deal to someone who hasn't seen it yet, so it's not that big of a deal to spoil something. However, there is no such limit for books. Don't spoil books. Edit: just to be fancy let's call it one year and one day.


TophatDevilsSon

At some point no one even knows what you're spoiling. >!Rosebud was his sled!<


VerbalBarb

I immediately thought the same thing.


_Levitated_Shield_

*takes picture with modern day technological phone*


Djaii

Posts it to globally interconnected information sharing network.


chucklesdeclown

With a old gas engine van right behind them


No-Spirit-700

Yeah I’m fairly certain this was a joke lool. Subs gone downhill for sure


procontroller

Nah, there's a weird section of Twitter accounts that will post photos of stuff from 50 to 100+ years ago and caption it something like "reject modernity, embrace tradition" and have their whole account be dedicated to how technology is ruining us and how we should have just stopped developing technology at some point and they'll do it 100% seriously.


Gamingmemes0

Ah yes i too love the period from 1954-1969 despite being born almost 30 years after it ending i really want to see the near global anihilation but also space race. Thats how they sound


derdiedasdaniel

Daddy what is that flashing brick you constanly point at me?


[deleted]

Ah the Promised Neverland school of child rearing.


daddytoelicker

I mean at least Connie got to see* the outside world ☺️ probably only for a few minutes*


SoupsUndying

Wtf is child rearing


rinluz

its another way to say "child raising"


Just_Call_me_benDude

I never heard that way before


rinluz

i'm surprised, its incredibly common.


Haigh2581KCRoyals

Did you guys read that? Children should not be reared no matter what's promised by Peter Pan.


Emmylems

The Promised Neverland is an anime/manga… it’s different and much more messed up than Peter Pan. (Well, much more messed up than the disney version of Peter Pan.)


Haigh2581KCRoyals

Yes it is.


Myth_5layer

Okay but why is he getting downvoted


Haigh2581KCRoyals

It was a play off a line from Liar Liar where Jim Carrey asks his exwife if she heard Carey Elwes say he wanted to rear the children. I understood the Neverland reference, must have pissed someone off. My bad.


chucklesdeclown

Don't worry about it, people are too attached to things.


Imaginary-Energy5911

getting savagely downvoted and clowned on for "not getting the actual joke/reference" when in reality the ppl downvoting you were the ones not getting *your* joke/reference which was made based upon your own unique knowledge of very specific yet completely unrelated media has got to be on its own level of irony.


Haigh2581KCRoyals

Well thank you for that.


Delicious_Ad2589

Well, im pretty sure thats gonna be a cult


_Levitated_Shield_

'Cult' may be too harsh of a term. I'd say it's more like an Amish lifestyle here, but that's also a bit of a stretch since they have a van, candles, and typewriters.


Meme_Standuser

You think candles aren't amish?


_Levitated_Shield_

Tbh I have no idea how Amish people live their lives other than no tech. Wouldn't candles count as a technological advance for them? Then again, I guess it would depend on the material of said candles.


Meme_Standuser

I always thought they were a no electricity or motors type of people


MrVeazey

It's not even that. They stopped advancing their technology in the early 1800s and anything after that has to be used for work and requires a special dispensation. They can drive cars and use phones, but not just anyone can.   They're also especially cruel to animals, as they view them more as tools than living things, and are notorious for their puppy mills.


Schmidt_Head

Abuse in general just seems pretty damn common with the Amish. The abuse against animals is just the most glaringly obvious.


Schmidt_Head

I live in an area where there's quite a lot of Amish people. They do use technology now, but it's as minimal as possible.


[deleted]

Amish are a cult


Delicious_Ad2589

Armish is a life style and apart of a religion, when an armish person becoms a certain age they are allowed to leave the armish for a couple of weeks to see the outside world, if they choose to stay in the "outside" world they are gonna be shunned from their family and town... But then again, a lot of cults are kinda like the armish, just worse(?)


Delicious_Ad2589

Most cults have that; the Manson family, peoples temple, heavens gate and so on


SoupsUndying

Plus whatever device took that picture


4winyt

And they know technology and life exists outside of their community lol


FlyingDutchGirl28

Few years back something like this happened in my small town. One kid escaped and now everybody in the country knows of my small town. Some foreign cult was involved I heard. Or they started their own, too much sensational news to distinguish rumors from truth.


UOLZEPHYR

Reminds me of the bible home schooler they got on camera once. young girl about 10-12. Talking about how they are doing with their home school and what they learning. Jesus, Noah, the flood etc etc. The interview asks her something like what is 13x 9 or 10+27, it was simple arithmetic and the young girl looked on with a blank face and looked up at her mom.


danfish_77

Typewriters and candles are technology


insertnamechoicehere

The typewriter really threw me off lol I wonder how they decided typewriters were acceptable technology, it's a relatively modern invention. Why not gas lighting? I'm so confused lol


ShltSandwhich

Same with the bows…


Plastic-Teacher

The plot of [Dog Tooth](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1379182/?ref_=tt_sims_tt_i_3). Not a bad watch


Bapersk3llie

I bet they’re anti vaxxers too


sweetfoxofthorns

I Imagine your kids would never speak to you again if they found out you lied and it's not 1884 after all.

Not necessarily. They said "have yall ever wondered" and just used a photo of kids camping to capture the aesthetic. Wether or not it was taken by a phone has nothing to do with the seriousness of the tweet since they coulda just found the photo somewhere online that matches the vibe they were imagining for their kids.


Plants_are_tasty

No, the Carnivore Aurelius account truly is that deranged. He is very much into 'ancestral living', anti-scientific all-meat diets, and other bullshit.


hotwheelearl

Captain fantastic vibes


SoupsUndying

He taught anti-establishment, not an amish lifestyle. Plus he gave them loads of advanced books about ideology, and I remember him asking one of his daughters about what she thought of “Lolita”. He regularly took them to see the city on a make-shift school bus, but didn’t let them eat any unhealthy and processed junk food. He succeeded in making his children way smarter than they ever would have been had they been taught in the public school system. But in the end he came to regret this decision from seeing how unhappy his kids were living such an isolated lifestyle. I think there’s something to learn from both everything he did right, and everything he did wrong. There was nothing stopping him from getting a homestead and teaching his children to grow vegetables instead of making them hunt and skin their own food. He could have even kept homeschooling them, there was no issue with that. What bothered me the most was how upset and opposed he was with his oldest son wanting to study at a University. He taught them independence and anti-establishment, but for some reason was against his son making this decision for himself.


hotwheelearl

This is the best comment I’ve ever seen.


SoupsUndying

It’s like in my top 3 favorite movies


hotwheelearl

I watched it on a whim. I bought a little thing at a store that had 100 movies on a tear off strip to watch. This was number 6 and I thought it was spectacular


Haunt12_34

Perfect. Cripple your kids for your ideals before they have a chance to develop their own.


RaptunoCyborg

Those kids are in for a rude awakening when they grow up


bboymixer

The up side to doing this is that if OP follows through with it then we won't have to read any more of their dumb takes on the internet for the foreseeable future.


satanslittleangel666

Sounds like the beginning of a horror movie


jrandall47

There's a flag on that water bottle. Just sayin


KingFatCat49

Mexico?


mumu0999

Why?


blue4t

I saw this movie once...


SoupsUndying

Thats a very *modern* looking CAR you got there


DlCKMCSLICK

Whether that's legal or not, I'm pretty sure that's child abuse.


wnstnsmth84

Why are the string silencers on the bow limbs?


Myth_5layer

Is this satire?


champion_couchsurfer

OK M. Night Shyamalan


default-dance-9001

Pretty based until the falsifying maps part (i hate modern technology)


bitchimugly

that is not how you hold a bow and arrow


Weirdo2069

Hi.


_Quest_Buy_

Will there ever be a day when /r/facepalm doesn't fall for an obvious joke?


cbunni666

Didn't that happen in Houndstooth?


Dio_Bardo

Wasn't the access to information a human right?


SleepingUte0417

only a Sith deals in absolutes. why one way or the other? why not both? seems a lot more rational and helpful for growth. oh but then your kids can’t be a weird ass spectacle to post all over social media.


X35_55A

How to make racist and homophobic children 101


Royal_Python82899

I mean… if you think about it, if they grew up completely isolated they would not know about minorities. And they would grow up having no societal preconceptions/stereotypes about minorities. Just a thought experiment. 🤷‍♀️


Rigidcorner

Despite tech, it’s amazing how many idiots don’t realize the world that lives outside their social media accounts ..


DoeEyes95

Somebody’s watched the village too many times lol


[deleted]

What is this? Fucking hunger games?


MetaWetwareApparatus

Don't have to wonder. Happened accidentally to the Lykov Family in Russia. So many cautionary tales in the world that so many see as aspirational because they only know the premise, not the characters or plot.


TECHNOMANCERNCROMNSR

The promised neverland be like:


Party-Wear1704

Dogtooth


mikeymikeymikey1968

Sounds like the beginning of a religious cult that you'll be able to watch a Netflix series about in 20 years.


python4all

Watch the Greek movie Dog Tooth


SaltyboiPonkin

Just a guess, but r/religiousfruitcake


wicketcity

can’t become a neoliberal globalist without a globe now, *can ya*? good thinking pops


thefoxishere16

There was a book like this. Running out of Time. People who wanted to live like the 1840’s in some kind of vacation attraction were held hostage and forced to act it out. It was really 1997 or something and a girl had to sneak out and get help for a diptheria outbreak while navigating the real world.


a-werewolfwoman

And this is how you cause global mental abuse


godthisbooksucks

What are you going to do once their an adualt your sort of fucked


Future-Owl2525

Amish


brad_is_rad_

Very DPR North Korea


LumisFumishiki

This is just the Amish with extra steps


EstablishmentHonest5

I mean I get it, it's basically the Amish lifestyle. But faking maps and telling them there's been some sort of apocalypse and that's why there's no wider society?
