When "she", who has put on a humanoid skin, enters the shopping mall and uses cosmetics to make herself more beautiful and more attractive to prey, there are many cosmetics in the shopping mall with different purposes from "her", but they are all for herself. Human women who were more beautiful and smeared on their faces, the "she" at this time was almost indistinguishable from them, and they all did the same to make their skins more attractive.
After Andrew, one of the prey, fell into the black space, he saw a man like him, but this man was about to die. The man looked like a human-shaped leather bag full of flesh and blood with some life. It was taken out in an instant, and only a human skin full of holes was left. For Andrew, who had just experienced a lively and lively midnight party and had a momentary fantasy with "her", what impact would this scene have, but For him, who also fell into the trap at this time, this was insignificant.
For the film "Under the Skin", which is completely driven by calm photography and weird soundtrack, everything that the film wants to express, including the original book, has been presented to the viewer through the image itself. Living with people in a calm and surreal way.
Perhaps most people have misunderstood. Does the "she" in the film, as a life form different from the earth's human beings, really want to "become a human being" but can't, not to mention that "she" is almost a It's really no different from the so-called human, but when "she" has the so-called "want to become human" behavior, she eats a cake but feels sick and vomits, wants to have sex with a man on earth but discovers her own structure The incompatibility with Earth humans highlights that "she" is a completely different individual from humans.
In the beginning, "she" is just for some purpose with her mysterious "male" companion (a motorcyclist who never sees her face, always after "her") and the accomplices who put them on Earth (the film At the beginning of the early morning, the shadow of a suspected UFO in the gray sky scene) used the appearance and posture of beautiful women on the earth to hunt men on earth and spared their flesh and blood; later, at a party, a man named Andrew confessed, and A deformed human being who has never been seen before, made "she" gradually shake her behavior and escaped. "She" made all attempts to integrate into human beings but was doomed to fail. "She" was completely helpless. And was eventually torn apart by the human male who was the prey and burned alive.
Although the things presented in this film seem to be simple to summarize because there are not too many lines and detailed settings, most of the things that are finally summarized are very superficial. In fact, rather than being human, "she" should understand that Andrew and the unknown deformed man at the party are both completely different from the men that "she" hunted before, and they are all deliberate sexual needs. And getting closer to "her", Andrew, who confessed to "her" and wanted to know more about "her", and a deformed man with a simple mind and no purpose had a certain influence on "her". These two humans let "her" Began to have some doubts and confusion about human beings and herself, began to be curious about human beings and gradually blurred herself, and therefore had the behavior after "her".
It can be said that it is not that "she" wants to become a human being, but because "she" is almost indistinguishable from human beings before meeting Andrew and has no flaws at all. She gradually penetrated into it, made her blend into the human race, but everywhere highlighted the difference between herself and human beings and gradually lost herself and went to destruction.
The "her" thing and one of the themes of this film - the definition of a person, have actually been discussed in many movies, but "Under the Skin" expresses it in a more personal and sensual way, such as the beginning The two scenes mentioned in the two paragraphs show these directly, but they also give people space to accommodate their various feelings.
