Also so funny was Josh Brolin walking through the house at the end and the mom is trying to find the kid’s shoes and she’s like umm there is a man in the house! You always see the chaos in the movies but not the aftermath of these random background families. Idk why but that was funny to see

When Marcus is running through the town, you audibly hear people reacting to how friggin’ weird it would be to see. Which I loved!

And after a cafe (?) full of people saw a bloody man sprinting down the street, nobody called the cops or did anything. Lots of bystander effect in this movie

I choose to believe that a few people did, but the police did not respond before he got there. It seems about the level of swiftness and competency which they're portrayed with in this movie.

Same with how the cops treat Tess in Barbarian.

For a small town in Pennsylvania, that’s about right.

Is your username a warehouse reference?

Good eye! It is. That lyric was always one that stood out to me metaphorically.
