Not so perfect, just refine it

This film is different from the high-concept movies like "Hunger Platform". In fact, it would be better if you seriously go to the direction of high-concept movies. The metaphors and the main themes of the script are OK. It's just that many things in the back are not rigorous enough, almost meaningless.

The beginning of the film is a section of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, which points out the theme of the whole film. It makes sense to understand that the soft invasion of the earth by aliens, but it is not rigorous. At the beginning, the hero and the heroine found the dead bird and buried it. The male protagonist also sprinkled leaves to make the female protagonist respect (respect here obviously refers to respect for life). As a result, he laughed and hopped around himself, which also hinted at the ending of the male protagonist. (They didn’t get any respect after they died)

It's a different world since seeing real estate agent Martin enter the town. This ghost town that can't get out is a bit of a five-dimensional space. There is no way to get out. The loophole here is that the male protagonist lights the house, the house is restored, and the lawn has retreated because of the cigarette butts. Is this space afraid of fire or not? Or only the lawn is afraid. So he started digging deeply and died of pneumoconiosis.

The child's appearance is the most important thing, and it says on the paper box that raising the child is free. Who can guess that freedom is all to death. In the process of raising a child, I deeply feel that this child should be thankful that the parents who raised him are not Chinese. If you dare to shout like this at breakfast, you will be suspicious of life for three days. There are many metaphors and mappings here, such as children imitating their parents completely and observing their parents. Seeing here has not broken the appearance of high-concept movies, until the heroine deceives that the child is not human, the whole movie has a watershed. Take a big step in the direction of science fiction. Since then, some of the details of the film are not rigorous and it is undoubtedly revealed.

Later, the hostess hit him with a head, and he was injured and ran away, raising the ground. These spatial knowledge and professional skills are obtained by reading books, watching TV, and going out to learn. It shows that even aliens are afraid of choppers. If human beings possess weapons and organize hard steel, it will be unclear whether they will win or lose. It seems to have perfected the soft invasion of this species, and the reason why the dove occupied the magpie's nest, after all, is not resistant to beatings and can only be softly implanted. But imagine that a race has mastered the spatial technology of ghost beating the wall, do you still have to do it with you? The BUG here doesn't make sense. The need to raise children is to be more like humans, and then to deceive others. If they are so emotional, then there is no need to cultivate them like this, and the risk of being killed by humans is higher when they are young.

It's unimaginable if you make a mistake about a serial murderer couple? What if the child (cub) is killed? What if there are more than one family visiting the house? What should I do if I rent a big bus family real estate group? Are the salespersons you trained up to the job? Finally, the heroine enters the multidimensional space and sees various human versions. There is no hope for mankind. In distress, apart from indulgence, you can only commit suicide.

Obviously, this is not an environmental film, nor an educational film, nor is it a science fiction film. It's a high-concept movie that is a little bit off. Imagine if the child is a human and the one who eats people is this small town, wouldn't it be more interesting?
