Cities are the worst place to be.

Cities are the worst place to be. What does it mean? "To be" what?

I heard it in the movie "The Silence (2019)".

Who said it, and in what context?

Who said it, and in what context?

People were being attacked by weird creatures and government made an announcement that sound attracted them so the people had to be quiet to save themselves. There was a girl who was deaf. She said this because if you have to stay away from noises and sounds then cities are the worst place to be in.

I have forgotten the name of that girl because I didn't watch the entire movie because I don't like these kinds of movies. I started watching that thinking it was like the movie "It Comes At Night" but it wasn't so I didn't watch it but it happened in the beginning of the movie in the first fifteen minutes I think.

As you know, we need the name of the movie.

Avoid run-on sentences.

… except when that information isn't available. We expect members to make their best efforts to tell us titles and authors, but we don't expect them to have photographic memories. It's okay to occasionally say "I'm sorry, but I can't find the name of the film."

I believe the film you're referring to is called "A Quiet Place". It has the same premise - humans are attacked by alien monsters who hunt by sound. The only way to survive was to not speak and make no noise when traveling. The original was from 2018, with a sequel in 2020.


Obviously, cities are full of noise, sounds, and even other people. Even walking quietly is difficult when you have to walk on surfaces such as sidewalks and pavement. Consequently, most survivors have adopted to a nomadic lifestyle in the open countryside.

edit: And without giving away the plot, the deaf girl plays a key role in the film.

As stated in post #1, it's called The Silence and it's from 2019. This is it.

Wow, that's odd that there were two movies with the same premise a year apart.

I gave you the name in the first post "The Silence (2019)".

Why did you strick through "In"? Does "Cities are the worst place to be" mean "Cities are the worst place to be in"?

We don't have to use "In" at the end, right? Does it go well when referring to other things as well apart from cities?

Yes.

No, we don't.

It's better with something that encloses you, like a car or a house or a barrel or a straightjacket.

It's not a big deal.
