false peace

This film is directed by Nicole Kidman and 007 Daniel Craig. I think if it is not for the names of these two people, the viewability of this film may have to be cut in half again. After all, strictly speaking, the most criticized thing about this film is that it is neither sci-fi enough nor thrilling enough, and it is said that the drama barely passes the test. But for Nicole Kidman's sake, fans might consider taking a look.

The plot is about the crash of the spaceship, and it seems to bring back some unknown creature from the universe, and this magical cellular creature will start to devour and assimilate your cells while you are sleeping, turning it into a useless creature. Emotional response, a human being who does things in a clear-cut, decisive and rational(?) manner. Like a cold, it can be spread through droplets, but also through injections of bodily fluids.

Most people didn't care at first, and the government only told the people: it's just the flu, don't worry. But it only takes one night to complete the transformation, and the infection method is the most difficult to prevent droplets, and the entire city has already fallen in an instant.

People infected by alien creatures seem to have changed from "individuals" to "groups", with the same consciousness and perception, and a collective subconscious that can be used as well as individual will. They will continue to de-assimilate humans who have not yet been infected.

But what's really scary is that these aliens won't eat you except infecting you. They will only make you sleep. After waking up, you find that you feel as if you feel the positive energy that society brings to you, and then abandon your "self". Be a good citizen who serves everyone. Even based on the premise of collective interests, human beings who have lost their emotions no longer hold strong prejudices. In addition to facial paralysis, it can be said that after infection, you will become a good young man with excellent conduct and three views.

There is no need to have superfluous personal thoughts and thinking, because it is unnecessary; eradicate all bad and life-threatening weapons and sources of information, because that is too evil; closely monitor all the uninfected people, it is bound to bring all harmful countries and All things in human life are removed, and I think this is where this film is both magical and terrifying.

The second half of the film is the story of the heroine who is unwilling to give in and assimilate, and can only keep running with the hope of being one (son), and cannot sleep. If the title of the film is changed to Never Sleep, it might be closer to the film. Moderately.

But does such a beautiful utopia exist? I think the answer is no, because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and some people even say that: the nature of communication media is bloodthirsty. It's not because the media is bloodthirsty, it's just that we spectators like the weird bloodthirsty stuff, don't we? People are perfect because they are not perfect, because they make mistakes, there will be joys and sorrows, and there will be various emotions of pain and resistance. These are all symbols of us as human beings. Among them, the pursuit of a certain "freedom" is also innate to people. So no matter how beautiful the world and vision these alien creatures advocate, he is ultimately too perfect and lacks human flavor.

Like the lines at the end of the movie

"People will commit crimes under certain conditions. If the world changes, all crises are no longer evolving into new crises, and the news no longer reports bloody news, then human beings are still human beings?"

I don't think so, because all thoughts have their own place, which is a pure land that no one can rule.

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.
