THE DEATH OF HUMANITY
I watched this science fiction movie based on one of my friend's suggestion.
One message i can get from this movie is that humans are somehow horrible, in this movie i can see that aliens are better than humans. I do not why they made the film that way, is that some sort of message about the death of humanity that slowly but surely happens around us??
Wikus, the main character is used to be working on MNU which deals with alien affairs, to watch the alien that comes to the earth and make sure they live according to humans' rules. Well..in some ways, the aliens are like scavengers, and they made riots, but i can see that they do that to survive.
Then Wikus got infected, and has one hand like the aliens' (soon becoming an alien as a whole), and what his friends do is stay away from him, he is rejected, he tries to seek help but all he gets is isolation and becoming some medical experiment, not for science' sake but for weapons company's benefits.
So he escapes, and have an alien friend, named Christopher, who receives him and even though he is his new friend, he willing to sacrifice for him and really cares as a friend. (compared to Wikus' old friends). These aliens don't kill for no reasons, all they want to do is to get home, not to seek any benefits nor to conquer.
Why are humans no better than aliens?
Why are 'alien' somehow can be a better friend of yours rather than old friends that share stories, laughters, and miseries for years?
And according to my tittle, the death of humanity, i think may be people now care less, love less, live less..hope not to be one of a kind
Hahahaha...I haven't watch the movie yet..but it sounds interesting...
BalasHapuswell I think that Human race - no matter how civilized and modern they are - still has a primitive brain..they still primitive in the way they view life, death, universe, and God...that's what leads them to insecurity, what leads them to seek control over the others and thus cause violence, discrimination, and other chaos in the world...
Anyway..I've watch once in discovery where they spoke about the end of the world..one of the possible way is when the aliens arrived and discovered us...He (the narrator) said that, what makes us think that if we eventually find or be found by them, they will try to communicate to us??it is very possible that they just think of us as some living creature with no importance at all..perhaps like "the war of the world" kind of aliens..hahaha :p
yeah, it's a good film. the xenophobic atmosphere is quite thick.
BalasHapusI couldn't help but feel for the aliens, although some of them are no better than the humans.
but the last scene is kinda sweet don't you think? you know, the metal flower scene.
