Spoilers within. You've been warned!
I watched this last night on Netflix and it's been bugging me all night long.
A couple wake up to an empty world. Both young, in love, happy, etc. On holiday in Iceland.
But the woman is distraught at the loss of friends and family, is going through a religious crisis and is on the brink of major depression. She is still doing the dishes, though! She's still making the tea of course!
Man is excited to be released from the shackles of modern life while still exploiting the benefits of it - free food, goods, home, cars, etc. He tries to pull her out of her depression while ignoring all her points on why she is sad/worried/scared. He gets annoyed with her for pointing out how futile their lives are on a planet with only two people. Also for trying to keep their food supplies in good order. (He eats whatever he wants because he feels like it!)
He sees the future as wide open with possibilities. She sees it as bleak and empty. She's the one with a problem of course?
I read a movie review that described the female character as a harpy, nag and nuisance. It wasn't until the end of the movie that I realised it was written in the man's POV all along and he had no idea that his partner/gf was on the brink of utter despair until it was too late. He drove her to her death, basically.
I find this whole concept disturbing, that a woman's valid concerns are completely disregarded by her 'loving' partner to the point that she kills herself. And he had no idea how bad it was until then.
Even in a world empty of people, woman's socialisation kills her.
