Scottish landscape is the focus

It might be sci-fi, but it's not scary. After watching the movie, I would like to read the original novel. I think the scene description of the Scottish Highlands would appeal to me more. Cold air, desolate neighborhoods, big deserted forests. The scenery is so fascinating, I really want to experience it.

It's a good story, but the movie makes you want to fall asleep, pause a few times to see how long it will go. If it weren't for the passionate play aimed at the goddess, it would definitely not last for the last second. But if you watch it for the goddess passion scene, it will be even more disappointing.

Except for the process of devouring the man in the small dark room, the background and music are quite special, and other plots are very boring.

A lot of road movies, documentaries, and even a movie where I sit in a daze, I usually get into it. Maybe the expectations for the goddess were too high this time, and the thinking was a bit impure. Maybe changing the heroine can be a little more involved.

Also, why did two aliens (and maybe more) come to Earth? Why do you have to hunt men to survive? What is the purpose?

I always feel like I don't understand these few questions, and the goddess is like a street girl driving a truck, accosting men everywhere, and then killing, and repeating, there is another "male" alien, driving a motorcycle, come Come and go, everything seems so inexplicable.

The second half of the film only explains the female alien's spiritual changes. She wants to be an earth woman, but she can't fit in. The biggest obstacle is her body, because she only has a layer of human skin. She can't eat the food of the people of the earth, and she can't do the sex of the people of the earth. In the end, she died miserably when the earthman QJ attempted to discover her true face.


What does this ending mean?

The origin and purpose of the aliens are not clear, perhaps the aliens can be understood as some aliens. She was never an alien, but a conflict between the surface and the heart of people. So when she took the face off, the green eyes were still rolling watery. Look at yourself with yourself.
