Amazing allegory

I feel like everyone saying it was stupid or had a terrible ending simply did not understand it. And that's honestly the scariest part to me. Clearly no matter the warning signs, humanity is failing.
Mahershala Ali's performance as always was incredible. Could it have ended with his speech and Julia Robert's in the woods?
Sure.
But to be honest, the millennial in me broke out in laughter at the ending. And not in a bad way.
Sharing my thoughts with friends who hated it, were actually surprised at my reaction to it, and admitted they didn't see it that way, and was glad to hear another perspective.
I hope the people that immediately jumped to hate it, can also consider its deeper meaning.
