After watching the whole movie, I personally feel that it is quite exciting, especially compared to the anime, the live-action version is more visually impactful and more exciting. Although the movie has some Japanese-style sensational and procrastination in some plot handling, it will not affect the viewing experience too much. To put it simply, there are two main things that attracted me to this movie:
1. Maternal love
The first is the relationship between the hero and the mother. According to the male protagonist, when he was a child, it was his mother who left his hands with many years of old disease to save his life, but his mother never talked about it. Later, when the male protagonist fights with the parasitic beast A, it is also the flash of the mother's motherhood that enables the male protagonist to turn around and win. I am deeply moved by seeing this. The parasitic beast survives by eating and controlling the human brain, but because the male protagonist can survive The mother's love for the male protagonist can go beyond common sense, causing the parasitic beast A's brain control to become disordered, and then implement behaviors against his own actions.
Another highlight is Miyata's love for his children. Born as a parasitic beast, it was originally emotionless, but in the end, he developed a motherly love for a child who was born as a human. He would rather completely expose his identity as a parasitic beast to protect the child, and even sacrifice his own life to protect the child's life. The parasitic beast cares about her own life the most, but I think, for her, she really cares about her own baby. As she said, "parasitic beasts are children of humans", I think she has become a child of humans.
2. Parasitic beasts are also humans
From start to finish, the movie is only about humans and parasites, but what the movie wants to tell us, is it really just for us to think about the right and wrong of humans and parasites? I do not think so. Actually think about it. Isn't the parasitic beast itself a reflection of human beings? We humans are parasitic on the same planet, but we kill each other with our fellow human beings, harm our fellow human beings for our own benefit, and some humans even hold slaughter celebrations for pleasure. Isn't this what "monsters" do? Just like in the big play where the male protagonist fights the five monsters in one of the parasitic beasts at the end of the movie, the parasitic beasts said that the ones who really love to kill and cause trouble are actually us human beings. I think, at this point, the movie shows us not only disputes and fights, but more of our earthly self-reflection. Besides, at the end of the day, I believe that what distinguishes humans from parasitic beasts is only the ability of humans to have a precious ability to love. In the end, I think that all human sins and hatreds ultimately need love to save, no matter what form of good love is, love has no bounds, it is the only pass. So, strangers, don't throw away your kindness and love, that's the treasure that shines on us and distinguishes us from monsters.
