Parasites of consciousness

"If your wife catches a parasite when cleaning the cat’s litter, and the parasite stays in her brain, she has her own thoughts. She has become different from her. You think you married yours. The wife or the bug?" This line expresses the creative intention of "The Occupier" very well. Voss is the parasite, Tate is the wife, but at the same time, Voss is the wife, and the memory of killing as Holly is the parasite that inspired her to kill genes. Voss struggled with the bloodthirsty self hiding in the depths. The director used a very good detail to deal with Voss's transformation. From the beginning, he still felt guilty for the butterfly that he killed when he was young, and finally remembered the butterfly. The silence proved that Voss no longer felt guilty for "killing." Voss was completely immersed in Tate's world, and gradually released himself in imitation. I think the complete transformation of Voss should be after shooting her husband. Voss at the end of the first mission, like Tate at the time of her erosion, needs to imitate the tone of "Voss" repeatedly. The former is lost and the latter is imitate. When fighting Tate for control, Voss said, "I have never really controlled my body", so she shot her husband and echoed the clues revealed at the beginning, "She no longer has safety with Michael. feel".

Although the plot of the film is protracted and chaotic, the graphics and soundtrack are brilliant. There are several eye-catching treatments. The first is the treatment when Voss invades Tate's consciousness, using a large number of fragmentary shots and the scene where Voss melts and drops wax and becomes Tate to illustrate the process of Voss "becoming" Tate. The second is that Tate regained control. Brandon used the wax figure again to make Tate wear Voss human skin mask and read her memory, and came to her house. The last one is that Tate and Vos control each other and finally merge into one. Both people became parasites of each other.

Possessor quotes

  • Colin Tate: Just think, one day your wife is cleaning the cat litter and she gets a worm in her, and that worm ends up in her brain. The next thing that happens is she gets an idea in there, too. And it's hard to say whether that idea is really hers or it's just the worm. And it makes her do certain things. Predator things. Eventually, you realize that she isn't the same person anymore. She's not the person that she used to be. It's gotta make you wonder, whether you're really married to her... or married to the worm.

  • Tasya Vos: Pull me out.
