The Thing: Scientists' Professional Ethics

I watched the movie for a while, but it did not affect my understanding of the development of the plot. A group of expedition personnel in the polar regions moved the frozen alien animals to the laboratory, and the aliens resurrected and killed people. They later discovered that they could quickly replicate humans.

It's time to test morality and professional ethics. In the face of the crisis that aliens may escape to the outside world, how would you deal with it? The scientists, led by the heroine, decide that no one is allowed to leave the base until it is clear who is human and who is alien. This is how scientists deal with viruses on weekdays, and now they are selflessly using it on themselves.

Noble people do noble things. In this polar scientific research base, a scene was staged: aliens kill humans, humans kill aliens, and humans kill humans by mistake. The purpose is to keep the outside world from being infected by the "virus," but the process is very cruel.

Later, the wise heroine suggested a blood test for investigation, and the laboratory was burned. She also proposed seeing if the teeth were filled to identify whether it was human because aliens cannot replicate inorganic substances.

An intricate series of escapes and no-kills, reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance unfolded tightly. Fear and suspicion shrouded every member of the base under the snowstorm. Due to the rapid infection and replication of aliens, everyone doubted whether the other party was a human being.

There is a classic dialogue: "There are people here who are not human."

In the end, the brave, smarter humans defeated the alien and destroyed its base. Scientists have sacrificed their lives in this humanitarian crisis, leaving only the heroine and one colleague on the base.

    The original version was not fortunate to be seen, the JC version is a polar version of the parasite, and the Dutchman's third-degree remake is more like a torn version of the replicator (the latter is the thing in SG1). The idea of ​​connecting the end of the film with the JC version probably came from Ronald D. Moore, but I don’t know how much Dharma’s original script was overturned and re-written. The magic cube in the spaceship is very similar to the one in the star of the base. Anyway, the role is The table is not named. mary elizabeth winstead love

    In fact, by swapping the identities of the protagonists and the aliens, you can get the routine of most sci-fi adventure movies. Human beings are always more afraid of the unknown than calmly and kindly and self-controlly, which also contributed to the occurrence of tragedies in disguise; It's a very qualified film, but it's a bit weird to be positioned. Horror films are not horrible and CULT films are not disgusting. Then it is considered a science fiction thriller. A sincere work can be regarded as an independent story regardless of the original story.
