Wow!! This takes you on an interesting journey that throws a number of twists and turns your way whilst also challenging you to consider a moral dilemma of sorts 🤔
Initially we're presented with a situation for Noah that really is the stuff of nightmares - waking in somewhere unknown,with no memory and presented with the fact something awful has happened. What happens next seems to be a bit fantastical and would make a fun movie. The addition of politics and the games at play there gives us food for thought and I couldn't help but stop and reflect at various points. Nessa's a wet blanket and I didn't particularly like her but I think she's representative of a system that has been failing for a while and that can change following a series of unfortunate events. She's a product of our messed up society as are a lot of the questionable characters in this.
I hate politics usually so tend to steer clear from them where I can. However, it does add a very interesting element to the story and helps keep the suspense as the parents battle to do what they think is right.
I think most of us would do anything and give anything to protect those closest to us because of the emotional connection we have to our loved ones. Is it logical though as part of a wider context?! 🤔 Could our actions, however noble, set a precedence that could contribute to the further degradation of a failing society?!
