    Humanity against harmony

    Humans oppose harmony
    Although harmony is our great goal, human beings are fundamentally an anti-harmonious race.
    A netizen told us that this is a story of criticizing communism. When the distinct individualism disappears and everyone acts in harmony and unity, The collective is so huge that it...

    Brainwash.

    In fact, the film is really trying to express that things have nothing to do with the invasion of alien creatures.
    This is the reflection of political brainwashing, a "socialist society".
    The "infected" people's expressions are numb, and they turn a deaf ear to all criminal acts that take place in...

    The idea is okay, the plot is too messy, and then it looks like a zombie movie. Diplomats have a very classic view of humanity.

The Invasion quotes

  • Ben: Our world is a better world.

  • Yorish: I say that civilization is an illusion, a game of pretend. What is real is the fact that we are still animals, driven by primal instincts. As a psychiatrist, you must know this to be true.

    Carol: To be honest, ambassador, when someone starts talking to me about the truth, what I hear is what they're telling me about themselves more than what they're saying about the world.

    Dr. Henryk Belicec: Quite right, well done, doctor.

    Yorish: Perhaps this is true, perhaps being a Russian in this country is a kind of pathology. So what do you think, can you help me? Can you give me a pill? To make me see the world the way you Americans see the world. Can a pill help me understand Iraq, or Dafur, or even New Orleans?

    Dr. Henryk Belicec: Don't be drawn in by his madness, doctor. He is Russian, he needs to argue like he needs to breathe.

    Yorish: All I am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most. In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so, where every crisis did not result in new atrocities, where every newspaper is not full of war and violence. Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.

    Carol: While I'll give you that we still retain some basic animal instincts, you have to admit we're not the same animal we were a few thousand years ago.

    Yorish: True.

    Carol: Read Piaget, Kohlberg or Maslow, Graves, Wilber, and you'll see that we're still evolving. Our consciousness is changing. Five hundred years ago, postmodern feminists didn't exist yet one sits right beside you today. And while that fact may not undo all of the terrible things that have been done in this world, at least it gives me reason to believe that one day, things may be different.

    Yorish: Thank you, doctor.

    Carol: You're welcome, ambassador.

    Dr. Henryk Belicec: Excellent.
