Cabin in the Woods(Blog #8)
When watching Cabin in the Woods, one thing that really caught my attention was how humanity was portrayed. Five teenagers go to the woods supposedly for a vacation, yet they find themselves in the middle of a mission where they are victimized and sacrificed to the "ancient ones." What's even more thought provoking is that a mysterious top-secret group is responsible. They believe that what they are doing is saving humanity. But how is killing innocent people an act of saving humanity? The point here is that maybe humanity was already lost, and these sacrifices are now being carried out merely just for entertainment. Another thing I'd like to point out is that the concept of monsters and creatures of all sorts were accepted as normal. This concept follows the theme of Magical Realism where odd things pass by as normal and accepted in everyday life.
