The video discusses the movie "Bird Box" and the filmmaker's failure to explicitly show the monster. The narrator attempts to uncover the truth about the monster, considering various theories and entities from different cultures and mythologies. After analyzing clues and behaviors of the monster, the narrator suggests that the creature may be a Cthulhu-like entity, inspired by the concept of infinity. However, this explanation doesn't fully align with the movie's events, particularly the entity's ability to mimic the dead and its seemingly benevolent nature.
The narrator proposes a new theory that combines elements of the Cthulhu Mythos with the Christian concept of the Rapture. According to this theory, the entity is a physical being that people see, but its powers and motivations are inspired by the Rapture. The entity is not just a monster but a harbinger of a spiritual event, and those who are "chosen" are taken up to meet their deceased loved ones. The narrator suggests that the entity's ability to mimic the dead is a way of calling out to the living, encouraging them to join their loved ones in the afterlife.
The theory also explains the motif of pregnancy in the movie, comparing it to the biblical reference to the day of the Lord coming like labor pains to a pregnant woman. The narrator acknowledges that this theory is not perfect but believes it is the closest explanation for the events in the movie. Ultimately, the narrator concludes that the monster is an original creation for the purposes of the story, combining elements of different mythologies and beliefs.
