Sandra Bullock’s ‘Bird Box’ Stigmatized Mental Illness When an Alternate Ending Works Way Better

Sandra Bullock’s Bird Box created history upon release when it became Netflix’s most popular movie at the time. It broke several viewership records within a few days of its release and also had a pop cultural impact as many tried the ‘Bird Box Challenge’. The challenge even prompted Netflix to urge fans not to do dangerous things while blindfolded.
Despite its popularity, many fans have complained about the ending and the lack of explanation about the entities. The alien entities are revealed to influence people to kill themselves and the only way to protect oneself is to not see them. The treatment of the people who have seen the entities and survived is extremely problematic.
