The Invasion

If a "plague" can unite the infected, eliminate differences, abandon hostility, and form the unity of mankind. But with forced infection as the channel of transmission, and the human nature of the infected will change slightly. Is this a beneficial disease?
It may be harmful to the individual, depriving the individual of individuality and choice. What about collectives and races?
This film makes us think about this question.
The male lead played by the new 007 actor persuaded the female lead played by Nicole Kidman: "It would be great if people could live in a world of perfect harmony like a tree (in Colorado)." It's
a pity that this kind of Perfect harmony is an illusion.
There are also such "cultural viruses" in the real world. It's not made of genes, it's made of "meme". The price of being infected with it and "getting better" is the deprivation of freedom of thought and autonomous choice.
The choice to be infected or not to be infected may depend on how much crisis humanity is facing together. The film is a projection of the real world: the Iraq war, the oil crisis, some countries do not respect human rights, nuclear proliferation... In this situation, is it worth sacrificing the freedom of all human beings? Or, in the face of such a crisis, can those freedoms we cherish be sacrificed?

    Paradoxes are always hidden in the usual plot. Nietzsche’s passion is castrated. Human peace can only be done at the cost of inhumanity, but the protagonist can kill for his family. After driving away the virus, the paradise life in North America once again covers the suicide bomber in Iraq.

The Invasion quotes

  • Ben: Our world is a better world.

  • Yorish: I say that civilization is an illusion, a game of pretend. What is real is the fact that we are still animals, driven by primal instincts. As a psychiatrist, you must know this to be true.

    Carol: To be honest, ambassador, when someone starts talking to me about the truth, what I hear is what they're telling me about themselves more than what they're saying about the world.

    Dr. Henryk Belicec: Quite right, well done, doctor.

    Yorish: Perhaps this is true, perhaps being a Russian in this country is a kind of pathology. So what do you think, can you help me? Can you give me a pill? To make me see the world the way you Americans see the world. Can a pill help me understand Iraq, or Dafur, or even New Orleans?

    Dr. Henryk Belicec: Don't be drawn in by his madness, doctor. He is Russian, he needs to argue like he needs to breathe.

    Yorish: All I am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most. In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so, where every crisis did not result in new atrocities, where every newspaper is not full of war and violence. Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.

    Carol: While I'll give you that we still retain some basic animal instincts, you have to admit we're not the same animal we were a few thousand years ago.

    Yorish: True.

    Carol: Read Piaget, Kohlberg or Maslow, Graves, Wilber, and you'll see that we're still evolving. Our consciousness is changing. Five hundred years ago, postmodern feminists didn't exist yet one sits right beside you today. And while that fact may not undo all of the terrible things that have been done in this world, at least it gives me reason to believe that one day, things may be different.

    Yorish: Thank you, doctor.

    Carol: You're welcome, ambassador.

    Dr. Henryk Belicec: Excellent.
