Aliens are also cud dogs in front of Earth people

This isn't just a sci-fi movie anymore. The terrible thing about Jonathan Glazer is that he borrowed the stalk of aliens to depict the people on earth. Scarlett "eats" the men who coveted her beauty one by one, and doesn't feel happy. She herself did not feel happy. Although at the end of the movie, this indifferent alien has a certain human emotional expression, but she is still imitating, imitating the human beings who save people by the sea, and she uses imitation to think about human behavior patterns. After imitation and imitation, in the end, this alien died under the indifference of human beings. Is this ironic or not, is it cold or cold?
When the ranger in the forest first met Scarlett, his gentle words were very similar to Scarlett's tricking people into getting into the car. In the end, the ranger counterattacked, just like Scarlett ate others. What's even more chilling is that Scarlett eats people with a purpose. Whether it's to obtain nutrition or information, her cannibalism itself is a very purposeful behavior, and she is completing a task. The rangers killed Scarlett just because of fear, or the human instinct to kill.
Therefore, how awesome the aliens are, under the beast consciousness of human beings, or the beast theory of the "dark jungle", they are just dogs.
Scarlett's performance in the film is remarkable. She wears a ragged sweater on the bus, which is extremely charming.
