This is a novel and insightful perspective. This movie and A Quiet Place are structured around parental control and its natural dilemma: the necessity to protect kids vs the essential need for kids to experience the world around them. One uses sight, the other, sound. The real threats are more familiar than the stuff of fantasy, which makes them more horrifying.

Truth is hilarious as you’ve proved. It’s not only dads, believe me.
This strikes me as a good analogy for parenting in any society with as little support for parents and parenting as the US.
A social worker friend once put it, “parents are the least supported group in North America.“
I think the terror comes from The social isolation which any society built around the needs of billionaires offers to parents in spades.
I think children are less supported than parents! But yes, more support options for both would be extremely helpful.
I had forgotten about that movie. Nice take! It brought it all back to me. I especially liked Trevante Rhodes. I had already loved him in “Moonlight”.
An odd question popped into my head when I was doing reading: Have you written about “Annihilation”?
That film and Bullock should have earned an Oscar nod. It was gripping. I will die on that hill.
