Infinity Pool: What is an Infinity Pool?
An infinity pool is a symbol of wealth.
Infinity pool the movie is about just that, specifically the power that wealth affords, especially when it comes to the removal of consequence. We live in an age where nobody trusts any powerful institution or individual whatsoever because they seem to act with impunity while the rest of us are forced to follow the rules, and that’s exactly what we see onscreen, rich people vacationing at a Sandals-esque resort in a third world country where they literally get away with murder so long as they financially compensate the right authority figures who then pass the blame onto somebody else.
This film puts us in their position of privilege and forces us to consider how we would behave in their place. Why not treat others like pieces of meat if one can simply purchase oneself a scapegoat to bear the consequences?
Because after all, if there are no consequences, what incentive is there to behave decently whatsoever? Oh you’d still be a good person because you’re such a selfless and caring humanist? Well what if doing the right thing meant giving up your own life? Then what would you do?
What unfolds is a textbook tale of satanism. If Christianity is about self sacrifice for the benefit of others, this story is about sacrificing others for one’s own benefit, and how denying an individual the consequences of their actions and decisions effectively arrests their development. Over time, such people become nothing more than adult children.
And this is the idea at the core of the film: witnessing the terrifying and satanic behavior of adult children.
There are many, many parents today, especially those with power and influence, who think that by rescuing their children from consequences, that they are protecting their futures. In the end, all they do is create monsters, and all because such parents very selfishly refuse to face the short term pain and discomfort of seeing their child suffer punishment for their actions, punishment that would normally facilitate that child’s long term development into maturity.
For any of you out there considering raising your children this way, this movie is a warning for you. And a really, really disturbing one at that.
