Compared to the Twilight series, this is a more mature film and is destined to have a much lower box office score. If you are accustomed to imagining sci-fi films as the universe, aliens, cool, shocking, high-tech, and big scenes, and you pay great attention to the hue of the actors, then go for it. It is not necessary to ask young audiences to sit for two hours in front of a film where the actors are flat and unbeautiful, and the painting is monotonous and closed against powerlessness.
This film can save the cost of movie tickets, and it is better to watch at home, because it does not belong to the kind of "good-looking" in terms of visual impact, but "good-sounding" in the ears and heart, it needs to enjoy the story in a quiet mood the connotation. I haven't read the novel version, maybe the text version will give space better. (While watching Twilight, I was watching Twilight with Tender Grass holding popcorn in the cinema and occasionally whispering, discussing and laughing, but when I was lying in bed watching the host, he came into the room and handed me a drink and gave him a hug. Excuse me.)
The earth is beautiful, and the alien creatures who have traveled in the universe for more than a thousand years also believe that although the ecology here has been destroyed by human civilization, it is still the most beautiful and suitable planet for survival they have ever seen. Therefore, they "invaded" the earth, and the invasion is not destruction, but the possession of human bodies. The replaced "humanoid" creatures are orderly, neat, efficient and unified. They want to change the earth into a peaceful and happy planet.
Alien creatures have their own racial name: "Soul".
For Earth humans, the alien invaders are brutal and bloody, those are "them", the soul "it" takes over the body and let us die. Human beings are doing the last resistance for this, hiding everywhere. The young girl Melanie took her younger brother Jimmy to transfer home, and was discovered by the souls. In order to cover her younger brother, her sister could not escape the fate of becoming the host.
Melanie's body, who jumped off the building and fell to the ground, has been broken and broken, but she is still breathing and conscious. Even the souls lamented that it was a miracle because "she wanted to live". The soul group who traveled to the earth has a great healing ability. All kinds of illnesses and pains can be sprayed gently with a magical spray in a silver metal medicine box. Wow, it is as smooth as new, without scars or marks. ! (I really want to steal a bottle of spraying acne on my face~) The
alien soul calls Earth humans "hosts", and the new soul "rovers" have settled in Melanie's body, affecting her behavior and character, instead of She speaks and moves. From the principle of parasitism, the host must provide long-term stable nutritional support and living environment for the parasite, and the death of the host will also cause the parasite to detach or die.
Before that, both the alien souls and the human beings believed that when the "foreign souls" took over the body, the "self-souls" disappeared, perhaps being swallowed up, being driven out, or being depleted and atrophied. Maybe it's shrinking and hiding... In short, the human mind is gone~~ I can't hear or feel it. For the earth, then the human spirit does not exist, it is equivalent to death, and the alien soul survives through the human body. On Earth.
Having said that, Melanie is a miracle. Her thoughts can still communicate, transmit, feel, influence, and persist, so this girl's body has two souls at the same time. One is called "The Wanderer" and the other is called "Melanie."
There are very few real humans. Maybe it’s because the population of the destroyed Earth has declined, or because there are too many alien souls and too few bodies that meet the “invasion” conditions. The horror crisis is that these alien souls have to constantly search for human hosts to house parasites. soul. In order to discover the traces of the remaining human beings, the new "rovers" organized Melanie's memories according to the orders of "explorers" (the subtitles are also translated as searchers) and searched for the hiding places of those human beings.
In Melanie's records, there are relatives, lovers, and homes. Wanderers wake up from a state of chaos and experience the special emotion of being human. The two souls are becoming more and more harmonious in the same body and embark on the road of "salvation".
It seems that the human refuge is always underground, and the source of the sense of security is still the power of the Mother Earth. Build a utopia in an underground valley, and even reflect sunlight to grow rice. The wisdom of the working people is infinite!
How can the soul of "The Wanderer" leave Melanie? The lines said: "With kindness and love".
Humans hate these invaders. When humans catch "it", they usually no longer regard the living body as a human of the same race. They will bloody slaughter and then cruelly strip "it". Still, only death. "Wanderer" is contradictory, those souls that have been forcibly stripped and dead are her race, and earth humans are aliens to her.
The main line of the movie is still love.
Wanderer meets GG who is in love, and Melanie also has GG who never changes. But they live in the same body at the same time. Kiss this one, that one is unhappy; kiss that one, this one is unwilling. All kinds of "kiss" who create conflicts and solve problems have become the highlights and clues of cave life.
Hey, of course the ending is perfect, no one needs to sacrifice for love, under the inspiration of the most "clean soul", everyone is changing, and the world is changing, and the kind-hearted couple is reborn from a one-to-two relationship, "Body and mind." "One-on-one" two-on-two, haha, you can no longer worry about kissing and intimacy.
Impressions:
1. The human self-consciousness in the body of the "Explorer" host is also quietly awakening, which affects her physical actions and hurts her companions to death. Other Soul Companions said: We never hurt our fellows, what's the difference between you and humans?
2. The soul of the "explorer" was exiled into the interstellar space. I don't know how many years it will take to roam to find another life lodging, perhaps a human form, or something else. The awakened human said: "I've always been there, just locked in the depths of the box, you can't hear my voice". It turned out that the self of each host did not die, but was only imprisoned.
3. The uncle who found the underground cave to create a refuge home! The prototype of God and the wise old man~~ The domineering creation with guns in every scene steals the limelight of the boys.
4. Jimmy ~ Xiaopenyou's firefly starry sky, so beautiful. Shh, you have to keep quiet. What is it like to have two souls living together? Uh, a little crowded.
5. The various inner dialogues between "The Wanderer" and Melanie are too informative and a bit tiring to listen to. I would also like to read the original novel.
6. GGs who are good at kissing are all good GGs! Men must learn to kiss!
7. Dancing in the rain is tempting. A woman who can dance is very beautiful, and a woman must not give up her talent for dancing. roar.
8. There is nothing more enchanting than the golden rice of the land. No soul can resist the uncle's sentence: "You should work for your own food." He picked up the sickle and walked to the rice field.
9. At the end, a conflict suspense of an encounter is arranged, but it is found that: we are not the last remaining human beings, and we are not alone.
The child is also a foreign soul that resides in the mother's body. The host mother can give it nutritional support and a living environment to help it grow. One day, it will break away and become a completely independent individual. Just give love and kindness, the rest is their own business. Boarding children, if they only use their mothers as offerings, it is like imprisoning their own souls, and the outside world can only hear the children's voices. (Today is Mother's Day, this sentence is a bit suspicious of occupational disease.)
