This video explores how societies create and maintain fear-based narratives about 'monsters' to justify exclusionary systems, and how individuals who don't fit societal categories face rejection despite their genuine nature. The film demonstrates that fear of the unknown often leads to discrimination, and that acceptance requires moving beyond superficial categorization to understand others' true identities. The characters' journey shows that when society refuses to accept those who are different, it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where those individuals may eventually become the very threats society feared.

I hear >> I was so backhanded. He's allergic.
>> Citizens of the realm, that is not me in the recording.
>> I know it looks like me and sounds like me, but it is not me.
>> Look at this. When he turned back, >> that's a lie.
>> We are under attack by something that can take any form. It could be anyone.
Your spouse, your child, your best friend, the person sitting next to you.
Now no one trusts anybody.
>> She manipulated both of us, but together we'll take her down and prove it to the kingdom.
You'll be a knight again. The director can't get away director.
Bal, I'm talking about your sidekick.
>> Yeah, I thought it was too easy.
>> This girl has been in the institute for 7,000 years.
Look at it.
It's her. Bal, we can slay this monster or we can go back to the way. This is a mistake. Bal, >> please.
>> No, I can't do this.
>> Listen to me.
>> Why can't you just leave me alone?
>> Because I love you.
>> [ __ ] Todd. [ __ ] Todd, man.
>> You >> should have You squished him like a tube of toothpaste when they had the chance.
>> When you had the chance, >> huh?
>> You could have >> When they had the chance.
>> The Mona should have Yeah. eaten him as a whale. Not spit him out.
>> Is this you?
>> Where did you get that?
>> Because you're not a sidekick. You're a >> what? I'm a what?
Oh, just kind of zipped away.
>> Were those tires?
>> They look like tires.
>> That's weird. They don't use tires.
>> Not that we've seen, but maybe they do.
the well.
>> Mhm.
>> Can turn into anything and be anything and no one accepts her.
>> Mhm.
>> It's always a you're not us kind of thing.
>> Mhm.
Is that Glor?
>> I'm guessing that's Glor. Yeah, >> that throw is so funny.
>> Yeah.
Okay. She didn't turn on her right away.
Hello.
Oh no.
She's a monster.
>> And then it becomes bigger and more aggressive. Fighting back.
>> Oh no. And then they burn down the house and now it's the monster's fault.
>> Glor.
>> Yep.
Go back to the shadows from when once you came.
>> Is that the only example of the monster?
Did she fight like anything?
>> Yeah.
>> Like is is this whole >> Is it only her?
>> Everything just because of her.
>> Go back to the shadows from when she came.
>> What are you? You know what you are.
[ __ ] >> You feel that?
>> I feel like the whole place just kind of went like so stupid.
>> Ma'am, incoming report from Sir Thoughtius.
>> And what is it?
>> Oh my god.
>> We need set up on Avenue. And can we clear?
>> They have lances.
>> People are in danger.
>> What do they do? They're probably like the big blast version of Oh, it's so dark.
>> Does it have like a lot of eyes? Big old dragon or something.
>> Hit us with everything we've got.
>> They did have that one big turret weapon, didn't they?
>> Yeah, they had something uh showed during the last monster alert.
Whoa.
attack.
>> It's so shadowy. Except there's so much light inside too, though.
>> Drones engaged.
>> Drones. Jeez.
>> So, were the lances rocket launchers?
>> I think so.
>> Is that what happened?
>> All right, monster slayers. Let's shoot some darts AND BREAK SOME HEARTS. I'M GOING TO BE a freaking hero.
>> Eat them. Eat them. This thing is going to kill us all.
>> High five, >> bro.
>> Oh god, [ __ ] Todd.
>> Hell with >> Oh, they're slowly turning it. That's the big turret.
>> They're not supposed to be able to aim inwards.
>> Innocent people will die. And so will the monster.
>> You got to stop it. But I will stop.
Neona >> doing.
>> Yeah, dude. What are we doing?
>> Seems weak.
Sad.
>> Mhm.
I don't know what's scarier.
The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart.
>> Show me the statue.
>> Or that sometimes I just want to let I'm sorry.
I see you, Neon.
I set fire.
>> Go.
It's falling.
>> Oh jeez.
Like Neona, get me there.
>> Hey boss, >> let's break stuff.
>> Be right back. I'm going to go break some stuff.
>> Whoa, she got big.
Whoa, >> it's more phoenixy.
>> Go back to their shells from whence you came.
And the wall's broken.
>> Mhm.
>> Some of us don't get the happily ever after we were looking for.
>> Oh, maybe it's not the end of the story.
trashing it.
>> Mhm.
>> Ooh, now they have a way out. That's >> Yeah.
H.
>> Hey, boss.
>> Holy [ __ ] That's where it ends.
>> Sounds like a song I'd like on rock band.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Was this the music that it was playing before?
>> It's It It sounds like it, but I'm not sure. It might just have like the same similar >> like lick or whatever. I don't really recognize any of the names.
>> Any of the other cast members?
>> Yeah, I don't know if I recognize any names. I might have to see faces maybe before.
>> Gotcha. I recognize the two main cast, but I I didn't recognize any of the other Chloe Grace Morettes and Rezed.
>> I don't think I know who they are.
>> Reme is the pilot from Rogue One.
>> Okay.
>> And Chloe Grace Morettes. I don't know what else you would have maybe kickass.
He's the one who was like locked in the with the borglet. That guy.
>> Yeah, >> that pilot.
>> Um, and this is Neon.
>> Yeah, I don't recognize her.
>> No.
>> Just curious if I was knew them for anything.
>> Kickass is the thing that I know her from the most.
>> I mean, I I mean, I think I saw Kickass like a long time ago, >> but I don't really remember it well.
Voice Wednesday in the Adams Family movies. Kayla from Tom and Jerry. Wait, was Kayla the main girl? It was. Okay. I saw her in that then.
>> Yeah, >> I saw the Tom and Jerry movie.
>> H interesting.
>> I like the movie.
>> Yeah, was a lot of fun.
>> I like I mean, first off, just like the the universe, like the the night/modern technology aspect of so much stuff was really just cool and the way they designed it. I love how like the one thing like they're flying in and then it lands and you're like, "Oh, it's like a it's like a a stage coach."
>> Yeah.
>> Or something >> or a carriage or or something like that.
But when it's flying, it's just like, "Oh, yeah. It's just like a flying pod car thing." So, >> something out of Star Wars or something, you know? And then once the wheels turn and it just landed, I'm like, "The shape is so cool. I love it."
>> Yeah. It's a horsedrawn carriage without the horses.
>> Yeah. All of their guns are also crossbows, you know? They're thematic to what they're what they have. lances or swords, even though like swords can like project laser beams and [ __ ] >> Yeah, I thought that was really neat.
But then the the the characters and the general storyline of everything I thought was really neat, too.
>> Like it had I don't know having the story of like Neamona searching for being like accepted as who she is. Like the >> the what are you, who are you aspect and it's like I'm Neimona?
>> And it's like well, you know, trying to fit into the why don't you just look like a person? Sure. Why don't you why don't you be what we want you to be kind. frustration of of small-minded questions that tries to categorize things that you know some things just don't categorize well and trying to force them into category is part of the frustration right I really like how you know what are you I'm just me I am me and you know what you think I am or what box you try to put me in is it it doesn't matter It's it's what you're trying to the frustrations that you're having is what you're trying to sort out in your mind, not anything to do with pneumona. It's it's all in their their head, you know?
>> I just love how the all those conversations went. And then you also have like this general like story like a thousand years later like here's this story that happened a thousand years ago where Glorith defeated a monster and drove it back to the darkness or whatever it was. And since then like it grew in the story of watch out for the monsters out there. They're dangerous.
>> We saw one. It burned down our village.
And then >> it's a very it's a very like beware of the darkness for there lie dragons.
>> Sure kind of thing. And it's also like here's the Institute and our scrolls and the story we have and this is what we must believe and this is what Glorith wanted us to believe and like because this is what Glorith says like that is what the that's what it should be kind of thing, right? It's not about like well what's beyond the wall? You ever been out there? No.
>> How can you know that there's bad monsters out there if you've never seen one?
>> Yeah.
>> Not for a thousand years. You spent a thousand years not going beyond the darkness and the walls and whatever and just believing what you've been told to believe. And that's that's the way it must be. There's no way there's any other truth >> besides what you've been told to be the truth. And because monsters are bad and you've been told monsters are bad, monsters are bad.
>> Mhm.
>> It's wrong to have a monster or wrong to be a monster.
>> Yeah. It's wrong to be different.
>> Yeah. And then like I don't know the imagery of it wasn't even it wasn't even really that she was a monster. It was like the darkness of all the hate, no one accepting her, like all that kind of stuff. Like it was like a sad depression engulfing the light that's in there to the point that her her whole thing I thought was like, "Oh, she's kind she's finally done. I'm going to be a monster.
I'm come in here and destroy everything." Instead, she was walking towards the sword to end it.
>> Yeah.
like how it started. Her friend threatening her with a sword. She That's how she wanted to end it.
>> Yeah. Fine. Here, I I'll go. And >> this is what you wanted.
>> Yeah. This is what it's supposed to be.
Like she might be the only monster that existed for all for all anyone knows.
Yeah.
>> You know, >> there was Neamona. Neona just tried to find a place to fit in. fish rejected, deer rejected, found people, found a person who was accepting, turned into birds and all kinds of stuff and it was fine.
>> Yeah. It was just the the parents who like didn't understand it and was trying to fit it into a box. It didn't look like a child.
>> Yeah.
>> They were confused. It looks more like a monster to them. And that's that's all they knew. They didn't they weren't curious.
>> You can't be with them.
>> Yeah. and they just changed the whole >> and the village saw them together and stuff too and then you turn into it's like wait a minute and it's it's never a question there's never conversation it was just turn on it you know >> so but yeah I don't know it it got me whenever the when I finally I think I realized like what was going on with Neamona going to the sword kind of what the like I'm like man it just seems so sad or like they're wounded or whatever but it's it's a >> it's the resignation of just They've had enough.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And they're just done. They can't do it anymore. And that's what And it took the one hand.
>> Yeah. Just one friend ever.
>> Someone there to be supportive, >> one person who didn't turn away from her and call her a monster and hurt her. And it was someone who did, you know, >> but it's finally trying to open up and have the understanding of it >> and then became the hero. And like I mean with the ending is like it seems that she's there but even if not it's like well good they are accepting of her now but if they would have done it before she can still be here you know.
Yeah.
>> So it's great that it's like oh well you know we she was a hero but why didn't they let her be a hero beforehand? you know, why did she have to be a monster?
Then in the very beginning, I thought like maybe it was going to be I thought they were hiding like their relationship and that was going to be a big deal among the knights or something like that.
>> I thought that was going to be more of a story line, >> but it didn't really seem like anyone really cared about any of that. I thought >> the way they were setting it up like uh I thought they were going to make Bal and Golden Loins like antagonists towards each other. Like I thought B was going to be our >> You had the golden white and then the black charming kind of guy. I thought that was going to be the antagonist the whole time. Like very classism >> kind of struggle the whole time. But >> dude, and they also touched on that and the queen was like, "Look, any of you could be this. It doesn't have to be someone of of Glorith bloodline. We can anyone can become a knight. Anyone can want to protect your kingdom. You know, this is yours and ours. We we share this." And so many people were against them in the beginning until right there in that last moment and then because the director had her beliefs of here's how it's supposed to be and if it's not this that's one crack and then once one crack happens more cracks happen and then my whole belief system starts to fall apart and I can't have that. So I have to stop this and stop the queen and stop bow.
>> It's a sunk cost.
>> I can't be wrong in my belief. Thus I must stop this and do terrible things.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it's like what what are you doing? Why?
>> Like the the fear of being wrong is is so much greater to the the director than change.
>> Yeah. It's like don't question the word of Glorith. They had something about the word of Glor.
>> Yeah. Which it felt like it wasn't even her really. It was just her parents, you know.
>> Glor.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's why I was like, did did more happen? Is this the whole monster story? Is just this moment here?
>> I feel like it's just that like >> and because Lil Glory stood up with that wooden sword and scared away her best friend.
>> Sure.
>> Like she then was immortalized as a monster fighter.
>> Mhm.
>> Oh, I was on the other side of the fire.
She scared her down and scared her into the darkness, you know? Like I don't >> Yeah. I'm sure her parents like praised her for, you know, driving her away or whatever and then she got the glory of that and >> and it became that she scared her away.
to >> to do all that and gave them this hierarchy system of knights and commoners and nobles and everything like that. And it's just gone on from there and the institute being in control. I uh I did like Neimona like the attitude the comedy of it like >> I don't know there's just the the good guy bad guy like good cop bad cop like on the squire and stuff too.
>> Buckets of blood.
There's just some really funny moments and things that they did with a lot of stuff, too. So, I had >> to kidnap you.
>> Or am I?
>> It's just funny to have like It's fun to have like serious like themes >> also wrapped up in like some humor and stuff like that too, you know, >> some light-heartedness.
>> Yeah. Uh, I mean, we saw like K-pop Demon Hunters and it also has some similar aspects of like what who or what someone is and what's inside them and and versus like what you're >> what you're thought to be versus who you really are. And then like well once >> perception versus once you learn who I am like like you already knew who I was >> like versus just figuring out like oh well you're not what I thought you were >> but but you already knew who I was. like we've been together for years, you know, that kind of thing.
>> Like why are you turning on me when we you know the little girl and the Mona and this here where it's like we see them for I have to assume days, weeks, you know, whatever playing together and doing stuff like how long did they spend time together before she tried the bird thing, >> you know?
>> Sure. How long after Gareth found out did they keep playing together, you know?
>> Yeah. And then it's like it was bare.
Sure. you know, but like >> but they were clearly playing together, you know, >> like I could have eaten you if I wanted to, but I didn't. Like we we've been doing this stuff for however long and then you turned on me, you know, like why does >> it it turned in from not just like for Glor especially, it wasn't even just you found out what I am. It was you were told what I am.
>> Yeah.
>> Someone else.
Someone who doesn't know me told you what I am and now you are listening to them >> and you're letting their biases >> rule your decision- making.
>> Yeah. And they don't even know. They don't even know her.
>> No. I mean, that's that's what all bigotry is born of, right? Ignorance.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Like you you have uh your assumptions or your beliefs and then it's not based on like what things really are. It's just based on what what these are. Yeah.
>> No, it's movies like this and K-pop Demon Hunter and stuff like that too where it's like it's a fun movie. I love like the action and stuff in in some of them too. I love the comedy in them and stuff too, but then like there's some of those deeper themes and stuff that are that are throughout it and uh just hits and talks about just some some real things, you know, real feelings. Yeah.
And that >> that darkness walk, you know, was once I understood it like I was like, man.
>> Yeah. The only thing that Neona like destroyed was that billboard with the kids like I killed a monster. I killed too.
>> Yeah. Everything else was them shooting and pushing her into stuff and >> and missing with rockets and Yeah.
>> which is again kind of like whenever they were attacking her and then threw the torch into the bear back >> and it bounced off and lit the straw on fire, lit the house on fire.
>> They wouldn't have attacked her. then they wouldn't have lit everything on fire. It was, you know, the other people in their fear >> of something different.
>> You know, it's >> like it's one of the things where it's like if aliens came to Earth like we're going to kill them instead of like trying to be like, "Oh, hey," you know, they could come and be like, "Hey, what's up? We wanted to share technology with you." And instead we're going to start attacking them because they're different and we're people are going to be scared, you know?
>> Yep.
>> Like it's it's things like that. There's not usually the openness of let's converse and figure stuff out. It's different. Oh, that's bad then. Things can't be different. I have my boxes and things must fit into those boxes and that's where they should be.
>> Yeah.
>> There's one and there's two. There's nothing in between.
>> Yeah.
>> Even though >> no fractions.
>> I've done math and in math there's so much in between one and two.
>> Yeah.
>> Like like you know like an infinite amount.
>> Yeah.
>> But if it's not math everything else it has to just be one or two. You can't have anything else in between. No.
Really good. I'm I'm glad that we watched this. I heard about this when it first came out and I'd heard good things and then it just I I think we almost reacted to it at a point and then there was always like other things that were going on or some other movies that were dropping and stuff too and it kind of just got >> like held off pushed the side but I'm glad that it stayed up in our recommendations and after switching some things around we were like okay well that's that's still up there let's check it out. Yeah.
