A lot of understanding about the heroine at the beginning is wrong

I think the naked girl who was stripped of clothes at the beginning was the last alien female number one who was used to seduce the people on Earth. Because of human feelings, Scarlett took over the job of seduce. It was not something Scarlett used to change her skin. Earthlings, if you don't understand after watching the movie, you should understand the process of Scarlett's gradual humanization at the end of the movie.
First, watch the beginning of the movie: a motorcycle man pulls up from a bridge and a woman, pay attention to the big truck is parked on the side of the road (no one in this big truck, because the driver is this woman), I think this is the motorcycle man who found this The main reason for women, then the motorcycle guys put the women on the car, and then the movie switched to the scene where Scarlett changed clothes. They wore the same clothes (you can understand this as seductive work clothes), The truck is their tool of crime. After changing their clothes, there is a close-up shot of a naked woman shed tears. The close-up shot must be a key hint given by the director. If you see that this woman is now an ordinary earthling, continue Looking down, at the
back of the movie, Scarlett got enlightenment from the ugly skin of the deformed man, and finally realized that she was just an alien creature covered in skin, and then abandoned the big truck and began to want to become a human. Then I went to a restaurant, ate like a human, and was carefully loved by a stranger, and then developed human feelings. At this time, the movie was also simultaneously playing motorcycle men looking for Scarlett everywhere. What does this mean? Human feelings will definitely be unforgivable by the aliens, so they will be laid off immediately and be taken over by the next "Scarlett". This is a cycle of constant replacement of the heroine, so it also explains the tears of the naked woman at the beginning. The intention of the camera is that she is already humanized as an alien, so she is about to be laid off, and the little ant on her body also implies that the naked girl has become a living thing on earth. And the next shot after Scarlett has finished changing up is that the motorcycle man pushes his motorcycle out from behind the truck (see the picture below), indicating that the truck with Alien Female No. 1 is the motorcycle man driving back Yes, it also shows from the side that the truck was driven to the bridge by Alien Girl One at the beginning.


The film has a slow pace, but the truth passed by the director is so precious and so easy to ignore. What's under the skin? It's human nature, it's emotion. However, human beings are so easily obsessed with skins, ignoring human nature and emotions, and eventually go to destruction. It’s just that I think the last strange man didn’t think much at first, didn’t pay much attention to Scarlett’s beauty, but cared for and helped her meticulously, so in the end Scarlett was touched and he was willing to make a return. , Also let Scarlett become self-destructive.
The surreal soundtrack of the film blends with the street scene full of life. The director constantly asks us to look at and think about the world of the earth from the perspective of Scarlett, an alien woman, to think about the human nature under the skin. It is a memorable piece. movie of,
