I noticed this the second time saw the movie.The first time some fatarse was standing in my way
WARNING: "The Village" spoilers below
To me it was quite obvious people other than the elders new about life outside the village.They just assumed that all people were bad in the towns.Thats why Ivy told Kevin the Ranger he had kindness in his voice and did not expect that.It is quite obvious that MR Walker bought the land and turned in into a nature preserve with the billions he received in his inheritance.He also,if you remember what M. Nights character tells Kevin,paid off the government to not allow air traffic over the preserve.M. Nights character IMO does not know of The Village in the preserve,he just has very specific instructions how to maintain it.This is why Mr Walker tells Ivy that she must tell no one that they are there.It must be a secret only known by the villagers themselves.
I believe M Nights message in this film is the decline of civlization of the modern age.These people were all victims of terribly tragic events and were just disgusted with life as they knew it and simply wanted a simple life,free from all the heartbreak they suffered.Unfortunately,as they found out,there is evil in the most innocent of places.
