Aliens are no longer a race that wears masks to slaughter human beings wantonly, nor are they little pets that fly into the night sky with you. They have their resentment and helplessness, their persistence and weakness. The prawns living in the slums, some are stupid enough to be slaughtered, some are violent and murderous, and some have endured humiliation for 20 years, single-mindedly trying to save his companions from being reduced to medical experiments, secretly paving the way. way home.

Humans are no longer absolutely righteous or evil. Our chengguan captain wikus strives to solve the problem of prawn relocation in a gentle and humane way. In the camera, he smirked, with some weakness and innocence. His subordinates are not so gentle, but believe in the quickness of force to solve, but that damn fluid is about to splash on poor Wikus, making his already gentle and sensitive heart even more messed up.

Experiencing the horror brought about by the transformation of species, the poor city management captain almost lost his mind. He's about to become the ugly, another race that humans fear and hate. Such a change opened a window for him to start accepting prawns. In just over 70 hours, his mind was no longer closed to the alien race, and he began to understand and feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of this race. In the end, in order to help the prawn realize his dream of returning home, he almost died.

When the white people raised the butcher's knife to the short, dark black people who spoke incomprehensible languages ​​centuries ago, and when the Nazis shoved the Jews into the suffocating room, they too, like the human beings in the film, will eradicate dissent. It is an important task, but they don't know how tragic their so-called justice is.

In the end, Wikus sat peacefully in the ruins, making roses after roses out of metal, and he had completely turned into a prawn. He has experienced human rejection and fear of unfamiliar races, as well as the grief and helplessness of being slaughtered by prawns. He became a bridge in the film. People on the other side of the bridge will walk over and look at the original mood on the other side. It's not that different from your own.
