by Arjun Walia, The Pulse:
One of Netflix’s top films contains an apocalyptic cyberattack many feel is imminent in the real world.
The film Leave The World Behind (LTWB) has been talked about exhaustively over the last week. One of the most successful films ever to be released on Netflix, LTWB has struck a chord with the collective, and many people have very different takes on what the film may be trying to show us.
I watched this film about 11 days ago and thought it was well made, well acted, and had an interesting theme. The film certainly gets you thinking how we live life in our modern world and how fragile things can be.

The next day I went to social media and saw post after post of people in fear or feeling uneasy after watching this film.
“Something really weirded me out about this film.”
”It’s a great film but I feel like this is what’s coming and they are warning us.”
”Why are the Obama’s behind a film like this? What is it trying to say? This really made me feel afraid.”
Beyond general feelings of fear and worry, people were also pointing out the apparent predictive programming of the film, as well as occult symbolism.
I’ve been fascinated by occult symbolism for a long time, and the financial elite of our world have a fond relationship with the occult. That said, I don’t intend to dive into the occult in this piece.
A Quick Summary of The Film
The film is based on a book released in 2020 called Leave The World Behind by Rumaan Alam.
SPOILER ALERT: this next bit will give away some of the film if you have not seen it. If you’ve already seen the film, skip to the next section called “Is It Predictive Programming?”
The plot is something like: a family takes a vacation to a luxurious rental home in Long Island. A blackout occurs and two strangers show up at the door claiming to own the house. As they navigate the odd situation, strange occurrences begin happening around them as society seemingly begins to collapse. A cyberattack is the apparent culprit, and it’s leading to a civil war in the US. Who’s the culprit? The film’s characters and the audience struggle to understand what’s happening as it all unfolds.
Early on in the film, a high level money manager with powerful elite financial clients named GH (played by Mahershala Ali), explains to Clay (played by Ethan Hawke), that one of his clients seemed to know this attack was coming.
A day before the strange events, his client began moving a lot of money around and explained to him that some imminent apocalyptic attack was unfolding soon.
Turns out, it was.
GH goes on to explain that his client said an attack like this would happen in stages.
1. Isolation – This requires a complete shutdown of a nation’s communication and transportation methods. No one can talk to each other and no one can leave. People are essentially stuck in their geolocation feeling isolated, hopeless and confused.
2. Synchronized chaos – This involved the spread of misinformation and a mysterious noise that caused pain and disorientation, signalling something major was happening. In the film, misinformation was spread via red pamphlets falling from planes with conflicting messages about who was behind the attack.
